So, the phone's GPU and CPU are running at 2 different frequencies.
Otherwise the gap between performance mode and regular mode wouldn't be this huge.
The GPU seems very good. Actually great for a Mali GPU.
But the CPU is very bad for 2021. I mean how on earth it has almost 20% performance improvement for performance mode on Geekbench !
Their CPU is just not efficient enough. So, they had to follow this pattern to show both reasonable power and efficiency.
Other SoC manufacturer should follow this too.
Exynos 2100 with 2 X1 core at 3.2 GHz and only 1 core will run at regular mode and both core will run at performance mode,
This configuration should kill the benchmark score.

Anonymous, 22 Oct 2020I bet iPhone 13 will come with the same circular camera module.Well, they did invent the iPod. It's funny how Huawei has taken the iPod look.

dude111, 22 Oct 2020Wow, performance is awfulNo it's not. It's actually very good. Just not the best. Sustained performance is still pretty good. I bet this matches A14's performance, which is slightly behind SD875. Maybe.

OEMs need to get rid of those stupid curves.
Both combined probably are at least 12% of total area.
If you play video, content is displayed on the curves too.
Waste of screen.

Finally someone that realizes camera should not have huge bump.
Probably not even 0,7mm.
Some phones have almost 2,2mm.

It took literary 15 min including surfing Youtube videos. The only thing which doesn't work is Google Assistant which i never used anyway. Don't think that Mate 40 Pro will be different.

And there apps that need the matter, so even if you install a app via APK file, without Play Service it is game over.
And it's not like sideloading Play Service is easy, especially when unlocking the bootloader is not a option.
Above makes this so sad because the phone is great.
