Get ready for the new wave of phones at the end of the year.
The end of each year is a period of concentrated mobile processor upgrades, and the new wave of manufacturers has also come with the change of upstream suppliers. At present, the competition of new machines cannot always bypass a keyword “5G”, more specifically, “dual-mode 5G”.
Huawei’s Kirin chip is currently the only large-scale chip on the market with specific products. After Huawei’s flagship machine, Honor has finally released a new product equipped with Kirin 990. At the end of the year, dual-mode 5G mobile phones still have to fight. What Huawei and Honor have to do is to seize this last window period and run hard again.
The cheapest dual-mode 5G phone at present
As of now, Huawei products are still the only dual-mode 5G mobile phones on the market, and Honor ’s new V30 released today has logically become the cheapest dual-mode 5G mobile phone at present.
In fact, this label is enough for this product. V30 has two biggest selling points, 5G and video.
In appearance, the V30 continues the settings of the digging screen on the V20, but it is upgraded to a dual front camera. This will be the main theme of the new products in the next six months. The difference is nothing more than the size of the aperture and the number of front lenses. The lifting structure is slightly thick, and the bangs water droplets occupy a large screen area. For now, digging is a relatively balanced solution.
The back cover is still the gradient color back cover of Huawei ’s glory. It uses the same AG matte process as the iPhone 11, with side fingerprints and a “six-cylinder” lens module.
In terms of performance, Kirin 990, and more specifically dual-mode 5G, must be the biggest advantage of the current V30 series. The Honor V30 is equipped with the Kirin 990 platform. It also supports dual-mode 5G and also supports all six frequency bands of three operators.
However, this “full line” also has a high or low score.
The Honor V30 Pro uses the Kirin 990 5G version with integrated 5G baseband, the number of transistors exceeds 10 billion, and the dual 7nm process; the ordinary version of V30 is the Kirin 990 plug-in Baron 5000 solution.
The difference between the two is not just integration or not. The parameter performance of the 990 4G version is slightly weaker than the 5G version. The two are positioned in different price segments.
Both support the primary card to use 5G networks, and the secondary card can also make Volte calls; the primary card Volte calls, accepts calls from the secondary card Volte, and supports 2T4R rotation. Communication performance is indeed Huawei’s long-standing strength.
The two versions of battery capacity are 4100mAh (Pro) and 4200 mAh. They support 40W wired fast charging, 27W wireless fast charging, 7.5W reverse wireless charging, and NFC. The fuselage weighs slightly, reaching 213g.
It’s a pity that we didn’t use the high refresh rate screen that the industry will gradually popularize. In this regard, Zhao Ming said in an interview that Glory will have a lot of consideration when choosing a technology and will not blindly follow the steps of others.
Image: finally catching up with Big Brother
For the first time, Honor ’s flagship machine uses the same level of configuration as Huawei ’s flagship machine. Of course, only the Pro version has this treatment.
The V30 Pro uses a dual main camera design. The main camera uses an IMX 600, f1.6 aperture, and supports optical image stabilization. This sensor has also been used in two Huawei flagship phones this year. Its biggest feature is With the RYYB arrangement, the yellow pixels can simultaneously receive red and green light, which can increase the amount of light (40%), so as to obtain outstanding night scene performance.
In addition, the Pro version has an additional 12 million movie lens and a 16: 9 custom scale sensor. It is mainly used for video shooting. It supports up to 4K @ 30fps output and 4K time-lapse photography.
The configuration of the standard version is inferior. In addition to the lack of the movie lens, the parameters of the main camera have shrunk, the aperture is f1.8, and there is no optical image stabilization. Both have the same telephoto specifications, both with an 8-megapixel 3x optical zoom.
I have to say, the knife is accurate.
The front lens has been upgraded to two, mainly to add ultra-wide angle. Now this 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle can accommodate a larger field of view, and those who are squeezed out of the screen can be saved.
Huawei and Honor have always been good at creating words. This time, the concept of “Camera Matrix” is introduced. In addition to the square arrangement of the lenses, the combination of these lenses with software systems such as system and AI, honor V30 brings functions such as “AI Magic Photo”, “Video Change Background”, “Front Camera Face Recognition Heart Rate” and other functions.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro is still DxOMark’s first (tied). V30 Pro uses a configuration similar to Big Brother, and the imaging level is still guaranteed.
It is worth mentioning that during the press conference and interview, Zhao Mingdu “specially” mentioned the 100 million pixels of friends. He said that the camera experience should be balanced, and the blind pursuit of high pixels is for marketing. , Also moved the Zeiss CEO’s doubts about 100 million pixels as an argument. It is obvious who the target is, and the smell of gunpowder is strong.
In terms of price, Honor V30 6 + 128G is 3299 yuan, 8 + 128G 3699 yuan; Honor V30 Pro: 8 + 128G 3899 yuan, 8 + 256G 4199 yuan. The price of the V30 Starter Edition looks good, but the gap between it and the Pro version is quite obvious, mainly concentrated on the most core SOC and image.
In contrast, the Pro is low-priced 3899 yuan, which can provide leading photography and communication performance.
After “I have no one”?
In 2019, SA and NSA, which are technical terms, suddenly became industry hotspots, and independent networking became “political correct.” Behind this, it is actually obvious that this is the focus of competition among manufacturers. At the same time, Dual-mode 5G is also one of Huawei and Glory’s most powerful weapons.
The speed of operator’s network deployment and the development of China’s 5G independent networking determine how powerful this weapon is.
There is no doubt that the deployment of the SA network should take time, and the NSA is not a so-called “fake 5G”, but the consumer’s psychology is very delicate, “I can use it, but you can’t live without it.”
Ming Zhao said unceremoniously that single-mode 5G is a transitional and temporary solution: “Some friends (NSA mobile phones) have a lot of stocks, but the sales are very shameful.”
To some extent, this is correct, because starting next month, new models released by other manufacturers will also use dual-mode 5G as one of the selling points. After all, NSA is a thing destined to be eliminated. Speaks bad.
Actually, next year will be the “first year” of dual-mode 5G. Kirin has a real advantage, but this advantage will be lowered over time.
Qualcomm’s flagship 5G Soc still needs to wait, but the mid-range chip will be advanced; competitors are not only Qualcomm, but also today, MediaTek has put out a high “Paperback 1000” on paper, next month , Honor’s “Dead Enemy” Redmi will launch related products; it also integrates 5G modem, and Samsung has also reached a cooperation with vivo.
Huawei has a high share in the domestic market today, but the same pressure is also great. Under the situation of uncertain international situation, the Chinese market cannot afford to lose.
Zhao Ming said that in April of this year, when a series of things in the physical list have not been fermented, Glory’s internal goal is to become the TOP 2 brand in the Chinese market, and the goal of share is from the current 12% ~ 13% to 16%. Judging from Q3, this share means that it will approach or even surpass OV, and the pressure can be imagined.
Network performance is a leader in the “people without me” level. In the future, the question of Huawei and Honor becomes how to continue 5G technology andBrand advantage, so that everyone has me better.
