I don't know if you have noticed that the update of major brands of mobile phones in the past two years has been accelerating, in previous years, a change or push new release frequency, has long been "rolled up" by major brands to less than 6 months, which means that consumers have more choices, but also face the problem of how to choose, after all, for ordinary users, changing mobile phones is also a big expense.
It will soon be the Year of the Tiger, and everyone should have plans to change their mobile phones, right? Let's take a look at the features of several phones that have been released or will be released in 2022.
The hardware stack intent will be more pronounced
Whether it is an entry-level, mid-range or flagship mobile phone, hardware is undoubtedly the first thing everyone will consider. As the most important link in the performance triangle, the common processors mainly have qualcomm and MediaTek brands. The high-end flagship mobile phone is basically the world of Qualcomm Snapdragon. Judging from the performance score of the flagship mobile phone that has been released so far, the use of the latest generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, Samsung Enhanced Version LPDDR5 running memory and Samsung Overclocking Version UFS 3.1 should be the ceiling of the current mobile phone hardware, and the flagship mobile phone can certainly not be wrong to choose this configuration.
E5 super retina screen, high brush into the standard
Probably since the second half of last year, the screen of the flagship mobile phone has begun to be equipped with the AMOLED screen using the Samsung E5 luminous material, compared with the previous generation of E4 luminous material screen, the screen of the E5 luminous material has been greatly improved in terms of peak brightness and power consumption. In actual viewing effects, the screen color of the E5 glow material will be more accurate, the transition between light and dark will be more realistic and natural, and it will be clearer in strong light. In addition, it is the application of high brush on the flagship mobile phone, especially in various game scenarios, and high brush can bring a better silky experience.
Flash charging technology is more mature
Flash charging technology is also one of the core selling points of the current major brands, especially brands like iQOO, which began to achieve 120W ultra-fast flash charging from the previous year's iQOO 5 Pro, which compressed the charging time to less than 20 minutes in one fell swoop, which has a very obvious help to improve the user experience. Greater power flash charging technology and more and more perfect wireless flash charging will also be an important symbol of major brand flagship mobile phones.
In addition to the above core selling points, the new high-end flagship in 2022 can make people pay attention to too many places, this time to the landlord's new iQOO 9 legendary version of the new digital flagship as an example, to see in detail what characteristics the 2022 high-end flagship will have.
