Happy New Year to all readers! Welcome to PConline. At the beginning of 2022, some brands of flagship phones have been launched, what do you like most about their new features?
1. Snapdragon 8 Gen1 mobile platform
As the star processor of 2022, the Snapdragon 8 is of course the standard of this generation of flagship mobile phones. It is based on armv9 architecture design, 4nm process, and equipped with a "1+3+4" octa-core processor, Cortex-X2 large core frequency has reached nearly 3.0GHz. Compared with the Snapdragon 888, the overall CPU performance is increased by about 20%, and the energy efficiency is also increased by nearly 30%.
In terms of GPU, it is the biggest place for the Snapdragon 8 upgrade, with a 30% increase in graphics rendering speed, a 25% reduction in power consumption, support for the VulKan 1.1 API, and a performance increase of nearly 60%. The new ISP allows devices equipped with snapdragon 8 to record up to 300 million pixel video or 8K HDR video at 30fps, and also support three 36-megapixel cameras, or 240 continuous shots per second at 12 million pixels.
2. LTPO 2.0 technology
LTPO means "low-temperature polysilicon and oxides", and the screens created from these two materials have a very wide range of refresh rates, which can achieve adaptive refresh rates and thus achieve more power savings. Compared with the traditional high-brush screen three-stop adjustment, LTPO's screen can achieve a minimum refresh rate of 1Hz, and the highest refresh rate is the upper limit of screen support, and the adjustment gear is 1Hz, 10Hz, 30Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz and even to 120Hz.
In the case of the good response of LTPO's screen last year, each new product also brought LTPO 2.0 technology to meet with everyone. LTPO 2.0 technology supports the screen to achieve a variety of refresh rate switching in different scenarios of the same application, and can also enable the screen refresh rate to achieve accurate synchronization and automatic speed change with the swipe speed of the mobile phone.
Based on the software and hardware of the full link in-depth self-research, LTPO 2.0 on the OnePlus 10 Pro compared to the "public" LTPO 2.0 solution on the market to achieve millisecond matching and independent adjustment, without the need for third-party APP adaptation, according to PConline's measured data, can be instantaneously switched between 1Hz and 120Hz, and multi-gear adjustment, so that the screen is smart and power-saving.
3. Samsung JN1 with Fisheye Gameplay
JN1 is a high-pixel ultra-thin package of mobile phone sensors released by Samsung, and has a 50 million pixel high pixel design. Among the many recently released Snapdragon 8 flagship phones, more than half are equipped with this sensor and used as an ultra-wide-angle lens. JN1 measures 1/2.76 inches and has a pixel size of 0.64 μm, and Tetrapixel technology allows JN1 to perform stably in low light. The sensor is aimed at mobile phones that pursue thin thickness, and JN1 can reduce the module thickness by 10% compared to the traditional 0.7μm camera module.
Along with JN1, there is a fun fisheye lens, and the picture taken by the fisheye lens is not like the horizontal and vertical of the ordinary lens, but has a significant barrel distortion, so it can bring more interesting effects. At the same time, after getting rid of distortion correction, these JN1 fisheye ultra-wide angle can achieve an amazing 150° viewing angle, far beyond the user's understanding of ultra-wide-angle wideness.
4. Stronger heat dissipation ability
Last year's Snapdragon chip performance release capacity was too strong, so that many manufacturers were caught off guard. Therefore, the flagship focus direction at the beginning of 2022 will be prioritized to performance heat dissipation, supplemented by images.
In PConline's evaluation of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen1 device, especially the temperature and performance performance, the actual measurement has been significantly improved compared with the previous generation of chips, and the situation of frame drop and frame locking has also been greatly reduced. Some models actually measured that there is no electricity and there is no obvious fever, which also surprises the author. Real-name praise one plus 10 Pro, in the process of measuring full power to no electricity, the stereoscopic space heat dissipation system makes the fuselage temperature performance very stable.
In addition to the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, the equipment of the Tianji 9000 is also worth looking forward to. According to network news, the new generation of OPPO Find X series will bring the Flagship Platform of Tianji 9000 and the self-developed image NPU Mariana to the stage, while ensuring high performance and low power consumption, there are strong AI examples and ultra-high energy consumption ratio, liberating SoC and bringing a new imaging experience.

Interestingly, the device currently equipped with ltpo 2.0 screen is basically a JN1 sensor on the ultra-wide angle, and I will not comment much about the author who does not understand the truth. Of course, the addition of JN1 allows the camera modules of these flagship mobile phones to be effectively controlled, so it can better focus on heat dissipation and the improvement of charging and storage. As of the time of this article, the batteries of these Snapdragon 8 flagship mobile phones are mostly in 4000mAh ~ 5000mAh, and the charging power is 65W ~ 120W.
For the new gameplay of the fisheye effect, the author believes that it is the manufacturer's helpless move, and the physical update of the camera is nothing more than the sensor area, pixels and viewing angle. If you want to make a breakthrough in the limited size of the mobile phone, you will inevitably make sacrifices. Ordinary users use ultra-wide angle lenses frequently, and the ultra-wide-angle solution of the outsole scheme also increases the cost in vain, and in the era of computational photography, it is to rely on algorithms to make up for the sensor area.
In the case of ensuring that the ultra-wide-angle pixels are sufficient, the design of the fisheye lens can not only greatly expand the viewing angle, but also become a horizontal and vertical ultra-wide angle through AI distortion correction, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone in terms of gameplay and vision, but there will be a certain loss of image quality after distortion correction, but the imaging that is not corrected is better. Some friends will ask when the 2022 real image flagship will come, with the front screen and heat dissipation after the paving, manufacturers can better exert their strength in the image, the major brands of the 2022 image flagship has not yet officially debuted, may wish to wait. What are you looking forward to for the flagship phone in 2022? Welcome to leave a message to communicate.
