In the past month, a new generation of Android phones has been released in large quantities, mainly using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which is defined as the wave of traditional flagships. Specifically:
moto edge X30；
Xiaomi Mi 12, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro;
True Self GT2 Pro;
iQOO 9.iQOO 9 Pro;
OnePlus 10 Pro;
Honor Magic V.
Moreover, this year's new machine has two particularly interesting (strange) phenomena, we will also take a look.
The first more interesting thing is that few manufacturers talk about an tutu over a million, and the talk is also a belt and road, after all, over a million points can not represent anything, play the game for a long time or hot. And basically will spend a focus on the heat dissipation system, the heat equalizer plate.
The most interesting thing is that some manufacturers actually add up the heat dissipation area and use A4 paper as a comparative reference. Then everyone wonders why we should constantly emphasize the heat dissipation area. So, this is not a cover-up, but just a clear compensation for the existing high heat dissipation SOCs.
Another interesting point is that everyone is emphasizing the fight "Glory of kings", which was originally the game with the most adaptation models, and it turned out to be a battlefield for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 competition, which is really strange.
Judging from the heat equalizer and the king, this year's Android flagships are indeed very innovative. Of course, each family also has its own emphasis on unique skills.
For example, OnePlus, continue to introduce its full link of 1 billion colors, and what self-developed accurate color compiler, although some bloggers questioned, but more people still choose not to express their position on the new terms that are not well understood.
True Self continues the Master series, emphasizing a shell similar to the texture of paper, and named it "Master Paper", which directly stands on the commanding heights of aesthetics. However, this is not the key core of the mobile phone, and it is more of a home material.
iQOO focuses on introducing a frame-stabilized independent display chip, sharing GPU rendering capabilities, reducing overall power consumption, and allowing mobile phones to run longer at high frame rates. But the problem is, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 also needs a frame rate improvement auxiliary chip, so is it not to choose a Snapdragon 888, or Snapdragon 870.
The Xiaomi Mi 12 focuses on the small screen flagship, which has a screen of 6.28 inches and a weight of 180 grams. The return of the small screen flagship has indeed brought a fresh bright color to the market, and it is no longer a cookie-cutter scene.
And this generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile phone, there is a rather bad problem, that is, the telephoto is generally missing, especially the periscope lens.
True self GT 2 Pro does not have a telephoto, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro does not, the well-deserved one plus 10 Pro, only a 3X 8 million telephoto, not a periscope type.
Even the most expensive iQOO 9 Pro, there is only one small portrait lens, expressing the heart, and the periscope lens is collectively extinct.
Why such a result, the reviewer felt that the main thing is that the heat equalizer plate and the antenna occupy more space, so there is no space to continue to leave for the periscope lens.
In terms of main camera, the breakthrough is not large, Xiaomi used IMX 707, CMOS size is smaller than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro's Samsung GN2 1/1.12 inch, it is estimated that it is also limited by volume.
Therefore, the characteristics of this generation of mobile phones can be simply summarized as:
The high-end version adopts the LTPO screen to adjust the refresh rate according to the content and reduce power consumption;
Larger heat-sharing plates, vowing to become a master of dragon training;
There is no periscope telephoto, and it is extinct;
The emphases are more interesting, such as shell feel, frame stabilization, 10bit color, small handheld grip, etc.
So it seems that this year's Android flagship is also like this, and it is indeed not alarming. But in fact, there is still a chance, let's take a look.
First, there is the Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra.
It is said that it has begun mass production, perhaps at Xiaomi's black light factory. It has a large Oreo camera, you can see the periscope camera, it is said that there are a total of 4 lenses, it can be said that this is back to the previous form that everyone liked, it is estimated to bring a shocking experience.
Secondly, it is the Redmi K50.
It uses the Tianji 9000 processor, there should be many distinctive places, although it was released after the Spring Festival, but it is still expected, perhaps within 3000 yuan to bring surprises to everyone.
Third, there is the Glory Magic V.
This phone has a dual screen, both screens are very gorgeous, the price of 9999 yuan, compared to other horizontal folding screen mobile phones, it is indeed cheaper than 4000-6000 yuan, but compared to traditional mobile phones, it is still more expensive.
Some friends said that they liked it very much, but hoped that there would be a low-end version, such as the price of 7999 yuan, she resolutely bought it.
Fourth, it is Huawei's P50 Pocket.
A girl said that after she bought it, she felt that this was no longer a mobile phone, but a "rich sister happy machine". In fact, the price is similar to the iPhone 13 Pro, but the sense of luxury is indeed very strong. Of course, some people said that it would be better if there was a low match, and they would like to start.
In general, it is 2022, and then a common style of mobile phone, it really makes people have no enthusiasm for changing the machine. In fact, the new Snapdragon 8 mobile phone functions are very complete, the balance is higher, a look is carefully polished, repeated thinking. But to be honest, the impact is not enough, and the surprises that can be brought are insufficient.
New species such as folding screen mobile phones are showing strong vitality, perhaps the new trend of Android mobile phones this year.
