#If Huawei releases a pan-domestic mobile phone, will you buy it? #
Many people may not have read this title very carefully. Now please read the title one more time word for word - a pan-domestic mobile phone, and then read the following.
Pan-domestic means that many products are domestically produced, rather than simply equivalent to purely domestically produced. The two concepts are different, and everyone needs to pay attention to the distinction.
Let’s talk about the composition of a mobile phone first. The main parts of a mobile phone are:
Many years ago, Samsung was the only manufacturer of screens, and LG ranked behind Samsung - these two All are Korean manufacturers. There is also Japan's Sharp, a screen manufacturer that also makes mobile phones. It still has its own place in screen technology.
At that time - 3 or 4 years ago, many domestic brands of flagship models would not choose or consider screen suppliers from Chinese manufacturers - because the display effect was not good and could not reach Standard for flagship models.
In the past two years, many manufacturers have used screens from Chinese manufacturers in their flagship models - among them, BOE (a state-owned enterprise that has nothing to do with JD.com, is a domestically produced screen) The first echelon), China Star Optoelectronics, and the more niche Visionox and Tianma - the display quality of domestic screens is also arranged in this order.
For example, the Huawei Mate 40 series has screens supplied by BOE; the Xiaomi Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition uses screens from Chinese screen manufacturer Huaxing Optoelectronics; the latest games of the Red Devils The 165hz screen used by the mobile phone Red Magic 6 is provided by Visionox - the display effect of this screen is very ordinary, but due to the high refresh rate, the Red Magic chose this solution; Xiaomi 11 Youth Edition also has Huaxing and Tianma has two screens, and Tianma's display effect is the worst, which is why many people complain about it.
So when it comes to screens, there are many Chinese manufacturers, and some manufacturers can even catch up with Samsung - of course, only in terms of screen arrangement - but this one can already be caught up. Samsung's E3 screen is at its tail end. Huawei uses BOE on its flagship mobile phone, which is enough to show that we can use domestic products on the screen.
However, a problem that deserves our attention is that we still have to use American technology for screen driver ICs. This is due to patent issues.
Huawei has its own HiSilicon Kirin chip, and HiSilicon's reputation has risen to a great level in the past two years - which is enough to see Huawei's previous low profile. After more than ten years of development, HiSilicon has accumulated a wealth of technology in chip design technology, but the chip foundry technology is in the hands of the United States. This is one of the reasons why Huawei has been unable to produce new chips, and it is also the reason why Huawei has been unable to produce new chips. The reason why Huawei has a serious shortage of chips and cannot sell new products.
Speaking of HiSilicon, we have to talk about another Chinese chip design company, Unisoc. This company is also a relatively low-key manufacturer with a certain market. If you are interested, you can Go take a look and find out.
Of course, China also has MediaTek - commonly known as Fa Ge, Dimensity is Fa Ge's product, and MediaTek is also making continuous efforts in the 5G era, trying to catch up with Snapdragon chips. , and want to gain more market share.
Both companies are inferior to Huawei HiSilicon Kirin in terms of chip design capabilities. With the popularity of 5G, these two companies have gradually gained a foothold in the 5G field and are not satisfied with what they have done before. The low-end chip market is constantly beginning to exert force and impact the high-end chip market. It is expected that the two companies will continue to exert efforts in high-performance chips and continue to break through their existing strengths.
Since Huawei was banned from using Google services, Huawei developed its own HMS service. Later - and now - Huawei began to implement the Hongmeng system. When it was in the Android camp, Huawei Google provides 1/3 of the key code volume - many of which are related to bug fixes - this is also the reason why Android 11 has many problems - and it is enough to see how powerful Huawei is.
On June 2, Huawei officially announced the launch of Hongmeng system, achieving large-scale installation and updates. In terms of system, Huawei has its own Hongmeng system, and it is also open to other manufacturers - it donated the key code to the Open Atomic Organization, and Huawei holds the Hongmeng trademark. It can also be said that Hongmeng OS is an open source system. .
In terms of the system, since it is a new system, the software richness is definitely not as rich as Android - after all, Android has been popular for more than 10 years, and Hongmeng also needs more software development manufacturers to invest. R&D, and adaptation software.
I believe that in the next few years, Hongmeng’s software richness will definitely be much better than it is now!
China is relatively advanced in battery technology, and BYD is a battery manufacturer. Moreover, many Chinese manufacturers are much more aggressive than foreign manufacturers in terms of charging speed and battery capacity - for example, Xiaomi recently announced 200W wired charging and 120W wireless charging technology - it can be seen that Chinese manufacturers are Battery strength.
So, when it comes to batteries, we don’t have to worry.
The main camera manufacturers now include Japan's Sony, South Korea's Samsung, and OmniVision, which was acquired by Chinese manufacturers in the past few years.
Huawei has strong customization capabilities in the field of cameras - as can be seen from the fact that Huawei has always had a strong business relationship with Sony - the previous use of RYYB technology made the Huawei P30 pro The ability to shoot night scenes has improved by leaps and bounds - and this lens is the 40-megapixel IMX600 lens from Sony.
Coupled with the 50-megapixel IMX700 lens jointly customized by Huawei and Sony last year, Huawei has reached a new level in its ability to shoot night scenes. Coupled with the cooperation between Huawei and Leica, Huawei has always been a strong presence in mobile phone camera technology that cannot be ignored.
Samsung was relatively weak before, and the application of 100 million pixels did not bring a big order to Samsung - and the use of 100 million pixels also put forward more requirements for the ISO of the processor. The large requirements also bring a certain degree of difficulty to optimization. This is also the reason why Samsung’s 100 million pixels are not popular.
And this year, with the release of Xiaomi 11 pro and Ultra, the 5000W pixels jointly developed by Samsung and Xiaomi also bring strong night scene shooting capabilities-it has an ultra-large sole, plus Xiaomi The self-developed algorithm has made Samsung lenses a very powerful main camera - it is worth noting that two or three years ago, Samsung was still a manufacturer with mediocre performance in lenses - many mobile phone manufacturers even I would not consider using Samsung lenses as the main camera on flagship models.
Okay, I’ve finished talking about the main components of the mobile phone. We officially enter the topic:
If Huawei released a pan-domestic mobile phone, would you buy it?
If this is the case, then I will definitely buy one, maybe even more than one.
After all, if Huawei launches a pan-domestic mobile phone, it will be the comprehensive rise of domestic chip design, mass production, screen IC drivers, mobile phone systems and other related industries and related software capabilities - - And this also just illustrates the improvement of the entire China's strength in this area - or breaking through the blockade - this in itself is worthy of us - as a Chinese, it is something to be proud of, and it is also a testimony to the scientific and technological strength of the entire China. , after all, the United States now has too many technical restrictions - Huawei is not allowed to use services containing American technology.
Only by embarking on the road of self-research can we better develop our own industry, gain more market share, and gain more profit margins in the wave of globalization.
It can also give us a favorable position in the game and more room for negotiation.
