Recently, Huawei officially announced that it will hold a spring conference for Huawei's smart office on February 27, Beijing time. Although the theme of this conference is smart office, there is news that in addition to huawei Mate 40E Pro, Huawei P50 E and Huawei MatePad 10.4 tablets will also be unveiled on the same stage. The new Huawei MatePad 10.4 will also be replaced by the previous generation of Kirin 820 processors to Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G. Of course, there is also news that Huawei's mobile phone tablets and Hongmeng products will be released in the first quarter of Huawei, and the time will be set for late March. Of course, the release time is not a problem, in fact, what has attracted our attention more is Huawei's strategic changes in mobile phone and tablet product lines.
In fact, Huawei's strategy changes in the mobile phone, tablet product line is still very large, attracting everyone's attention, perhaps it is rumored that China is Mate 40E Pro, P50 E will use Kirin 9000L this new processing chip, the source of this chip has different statements, most digital bloggers believe that this is Samsung for Huawei OEM kirin 9000 version, there are also some people think that this is just A problem chip in TSMC's products after screening and shielding chips.
But no matter which source, in fact, the impact on Huawei's strategy is not large, after all, the Kirin 9000L is just inventory, not the product of Huawei's regained production capacity. Secondly, no matter what the source, the inventory of the Kirin 9000L may be very low, otherwise, Huawei will use this chip synchronously when the Kirin 9000 is released. Xiaobian personally believes that if the Kirin 9000L chip exists and is released, it is likely to be the final song of the Kirin 9000 chip. After that, Huawei's mobile phones and tablets will likely bid farewell to the Kirin chip era for the time being, leaving only a small number of inventory products on the market.
After bidding farewell to the Kirin chip era, Huawei's mobile phones, tablet products or fully switch to Snapdragon chips, which is the root cause that MatePad 10.4 will be replaced by the previous generation of Kirin 820 processors to Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G. Of course, some people will say, will Huawei launch MediaTek chip products?
Especially when the performance of the Tianji 9000 chip is eye-catching, it has caused everyone to speculate. However, from the current situation, Huawei products equipped with MediaTek will not appear in the short term. We know that chip manufacturers must obtain a license from the United States to supply Huawei, and are not allowed to supply 5G chips to Huawei. Qualcomm obtained this license early in the US Department of Commerce, but there is no rumor in the market that MediaTek has obtained a license, and even from the perspective of conspiracy theory, Qualcomm will try its best to prevent MediaTek from obtaining a license in order to obtain higher shipments. With Qualcomm's influence in the United States, it is not difficult to do this. In this case, Huawei uses MediaTek chips, or there are many difficulties.
The comprehensive transformation of the product from self-developed Kirin core to Snapdragon core means that Huawei's throbbing period has officially arrived. It can be said that after the comprehensive shift to Snapdragon chips, Huawei's hardware advantages over domestic manufacturers have disappeared, and can only support 4G; honor's single flight, low-end mobile phones cooperate with other domestic manufacturers, and existing products are only high-end products, resulting in unreasonable product lines; coupled with a series of problems such as maintaining HiSilicon chips, maintenance channels and product lines lead to the cost of Huawei products will be exposed.
More uncertain is the supply of products, after all, the card neck has always existed, from the processor to the memory, flash memory, to the camera and ordinary chips, there may be market and policy out-of-stock at any time. This also means that even if Huawei shrinks in an all-round way, it may face huge market challenges and crises in the future.
In the throes, Huawei has entered a comprehensive defensive state in the mobile phone and tablet product line, after all, only if Mr. Survives and waits for the world to change, can we consider market share again.
