Both phones feature a 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) face scanning camera on the front and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Satellite communication support is also included.
The Mate 80 Pro is powered by the Kirin 9030 chipset, while the Mate 80 is equipped with the Kirin 9020. Huawei states the Kirin 9030 offers a 35% performance boost over the 9020, which itself is 35% faster than the Kirin 9010. The Mate 80 Pro Max uses the Kirin 9030 Pro, delivering an additional 42% performance gain over the 9020, making it roughly 7% faster than the Kirin 9030 non-Pro variant. Both Mate 80 models start with 12GB of RAM, expandable to 16GB in higher configurations. The Pro Max model comes exclusively with 16GB of RAM.
Each phone houses a large 5,750mAh battery. The Mate 80 Pro supports faster charging speeds of up to 100W wired and 80W wireless, whereas the Mate 80 offers 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.
In terms of photography, both models feature a triple rear camera setup and a 13MP selfie camera with an autofocus f/2.0 lens.
