On February 6, Micron announced the mass production of LPDDR5 memory. In fact, Samsung, one of the three memory giants, has also achieved mass production of LPDDR5 and is more advanced than Micron.

However, the S20 does not use UFS 3.1 technology, which will be a big regret.

The large-memory + large-flash memory combination of advanced protocols will become the new standard for flagship machines.

In terms of battery and charging method, although Samsung is much better than Apple, it is indeed worse than domestic manufacturers.

Slightly behind in charging power, and the Ultra version of 45W wired charging has to be purchased separately.

Under the premise of ensuring battery life, reducing the number of recharges and increasing the battery capacity to some extent makes up for the weakness of the charging power. Such a compromise is also acceptable.

2, Performance monster

In terms of processors, Samsung’s entire system is based on regions. The 4G version is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, or Oryn Exynos 990 processor. The 5G version uses the Snapdragon 865 and selects the Snapdragon X55 modulation regulator for implementation; the Exynos 990 uses the Exynos 5123 modulation regulator for its own implementation.

It is worth noting that Exynos 990 may be the seal of Samsung ’s self-developed mobile Soc processor chip. Shortly after the release of Exynos 990, Samsung announced the dissolution of the independent research and development team and abandoned the “Mongoose” Architecture, a comprehensive version of ARM’s public version architecture.

This means that the Exynos 990 has become the final work of the Mongoose team, and the S20 has become the final glory of the Exynos chip. For Samsung users, there may be problems with subsequent services. Use and cherish it. Samsung ’s abandoned R & D structure is a big industry shake for mobile phone chips..

However, the 5G combo set of Snapdragon 865 mobile processor + Snapdragon X55 modulation regulator will become the configuration of almost all Android flagships in 2020.

In terms of cameras, this is the biggest improvement and contribution of the Samsung S20. In addition to the 108 million pixels that are important, there is also a 10x optical zoom and a terrible 100x digital zoom. This should be the largest zoom in mass production at this stage. Shot off.

Outsole main camera + periscope telephoto camera, finally outside OPPO and Huawei, there are major manufacturers to follow up, this standard will become the flagship machine configuration in 2020.

Samsung S20: The final glory and struggle of the empire?

Some time ago, the whole Weibo was a battle between Xiaomi and Honor’s camera pixels. As a multi-lens, customized successor (previously Nokia) of mobile phone cameras, Huawei, on the topic of 100 million pixels, bluntly said that the direction of 100 million pixels was wrong.

Let ’s not say that the direction of 100 million pixels is correct, but at least one point is that before Samsung, only Xiaomi used it.

The release of the Samsung S20 means that high-pixel-108-megapixel cameras will also become standard equipment for flagship machines, as industry giants have gradually moved from the exploration and water testing phase to the actual application phase.

However, the standard and upgraded versions of the Samsung S20 series are still missing the 100-megapixel camera.

But the high-pixel-to-100-megapixel contention can drop dust. In the new imaging system, 100 million pixels-even composite ones-could be the direction.

After all, Samsung has a huge halo effect. One is the world’s largest mobile phone terminal manufacturer, the other is the world’s largest mobile phone camera supplier except Sony, and the third is the only mobile phone supply chain controller in the world. With this identity and status, starting to push a device means that this device can become the future direction.

In addition, when we evaluate the S20 Ultra ’s 108-megapixel camera, we must also see the actual imaging and supply to other terminals.. In terms of imaging, due to professional limitations, it is not possible to evaluate its pros and cons. Based on official information, we know that there are certain differences between different models of this camera.

Among them, Samsung’s own S20 Ultra is equipped with the internal model S5KHM1, which uses 12 million pixels to output 108 million pixel images through “Nine in One” interpolation, which can reach 2.4um (3×0. 8um) outsole output, the effect of imaging and low-light shooting is obvious, and it supports 79 ° wide-angle shooting.

Parameters of S5KHM1 for own-use 108 million cameras

The takeaway model is S5KHMX. The main customer is Xiaomi. The latest Xiaomi phone 10 is equipped with S5KHMX. It uses 27 million pixels to achieve 108 million pixel image output through “four in one” interpolation. , Can reach 1.6um (2×0.8um) outsole output, lack of PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus, phase autofocus) technology support.

Official information of 108 million cameras of different models

It is estimated that no one knows how much “nine in one” and “four in one” and other parameters have an impact on imaging. However, according to Samsung’s usual practice, those who supply their own products are definitely better than those who supply other customers.

In addition, thanks to the support of the chip and the improvement of mobile phone pixels, the 108 million pixel imaging system also supports 8K video recording and DepthVision Lens 3D ToF depth of field shooting.

The rear matrix camera module was also considered weird when Nut 3 Pro was released. In fact, the matrix layout combines the design advantages of Huawei Yuba’s four-shot “square” and the conventional vertical “exclamation mark”, which can more compactly arrange the camera and flash-momentThe array imaging module will become the mainstream design in 2020.

In other respects, the Samsung S20 series is also full of sincerity. Needless to say, there is a corresponding version of 5G; dual speakers, linear motors, IP68 dust and water resistance, NFC, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, WIFI 6 and more .

3, Difficulties in the Chinese market

Under the background of “standard card slot volume, upgraded version market addition, flagship version delimiting standards, concept version shows technical muscles”, Samsung is trying to pass the leading product at the New Year’s conference, will be S20 series entered the market.

It can be said that the S20 series is by far the biggest move Samsung has put on “stacking.”

We must also acknowledge that Samsung’s internal design and stack manufacturing of mobile phones represent the industry’s advanced level. In a mobile phone with a lot of money, Samsung also plugged in two main chips-Snapdragon 865 + X55 or Exynos 990 + Exynos 5123 combination. If Soc is an integrated baseband instead of a plug-in, can Samsung still plug in it? More stuff.

The standard version of the S20, under the weight of 164g, is still equipped with a 6.2-inch screen, and a large 4000mha battery is inserted. At the same time, 64 million + 12 million + 12 million matrix image modules are also inserted. , Or a 1 / 2.55-inch sensor and two 1 / 1.7-inch sensors, and ensure that the peripheral hardware is the same as the upgraded version (S20 +) and high version (S20 Ultra).

S20 + In the same situation as S20, the matrix imaging system has added a ToF depth-of-field camera and 500mha of battery, but as a series of intermediate models, it is estimated that it will be difficult to use the amount of travel. The difference is too small.

S20 Ultra, the true flagship machine, except for the most advanced industry mobile processor (Snapdragon 865) + the most advanced memory processing protocol (LPDDR5) + mature flash processing protocol (USF3.0) hardware matching, which represents The revolutionary change of Samsung is the rear matrix imaging system.

To say regret, there may only be fast charging, but the 5000mha large-capacity battery finally does not have to worry about the shortcomings of Samsung mobile phone battery life. In the case of ensuring that all aspects of the configuration do not shrink, the S20 Ultra is the “super”First-class “presence.

Today, we have n’t seen such an epoch-making flagship mobile phone that is powerful enough, has almost no disadvantages, and has few rivals.

Because at the beginning of 2020, Samsung set a new standard for the technology and hardware configuration that can be stacked in the supply chain.

But we should also see that Samsung ’s “weakness” in the Chinese market that has been laid down by Huawei, Xiaomi, and even OV has not changed due to the emergence of S20, such as accurate grasp of Chinese user needs, and specific brand communication strategies. , Flexible market sense and decision-making … and these can not be solved by hardware stacking.

As for the price? Does not exist, just like it.
