With the release and listing of Tianji 8100, a Qualcomm old generation of mobile phone processor products in the mobile phone market has finally reached the time when it is about to be eliminated by the market, that is, the current Snapdragon 870 processor, an original high-end market processor but hard to be used as a processor for high-end market products.
To say that the Snapdragon 870 processor, then it is necessary to adjust the timeline back to the first half of last year, when the domestic market is undergoing this very big market change, and the Snapdragon 870, it can be said that it is unchanged in response to changes, in one fell swoop in the market for a whole year.
Last year's processor market
At the beginning of last year, the market was actually still very good, and the Snapdragon 870 processor did not have any chance to emerge, but with the Xiaomi market main mobile phone product Xiaomi 11 series suddenly had a serious fever problem, and more and more uncontrollable, under the investigation, we found that the original Snapdragon processor Snapdragon 888, which was Qualcomm's market-based mobile phone processor product at that time, had problems.
And in the market is still tugging at the problem of this Snapdragon 888 processor, the mobile phone market did turn over a large number of mobile phone products, and at this time the market is in urgent need of a processor to maintain product development, obviously at that time the Snapdragon 870 this is only a difference snapdragon 888, and the power consumption performance is very good processor is the first choice.
In the market in the second half of the year, Qualcomm also brought its own market remedy processor products, that is, the upgraded processor of Snapdragon 888, Snapdragon 888plus, but it is not surprising that it has overturned, the power consumption problem is still very serious, the fever situation is still very large, in this case, its use performance is still not as stable as the Snapdragon 870.
This has led to the Redmi K40 equipped with Snapdragon 870 mobile phone products in the market has been on fire for a year, but after all, it is not the main processor product in the market, and the price itself is relatively low, and the good products with good quality and low price are very attractive.
How will market developments change this year?
This year at the beginning of the market, I don't know if the manufacturer did not pay attention to the market development performance of MediaTek, or the mobile phone manufacturers do not believe that MediaTek can do a good job in high-end market processors, or MediaTek's market secrecy is too good, anyway, at the beginning of the market, there was a lot of news about the Snapdragon 870 processor being applied in the mobile phone market.
Like the Xiaomi 12X mobile phone, a horse brought the Snapdragon 870 processor, and the price is still quite high, but also I have not recommended that you buy one of the mobile phone products, and now Although Redmi also brought its own Snapdragon 870 processor mobile phone products, but it may be because of the cooperation with MediaTek, found that the Processor of Tianji 8100 will largely let the market eliminate the previous processor products of Snapdragon, including the Snapdragon 888 processor.
Therefore, in the market, it was previously exposed that the Redmi K50 would have a Pro+ version, and the standard version used the Snapdragon 870 processor, but after the release, it not only cut the Pro+ version, but also added a derivative version of the k40 series k40S, which is to avoid the new product equipped with the Snapdragon 870 processor there is no market, and it will also involve the Redmi K50 series being scolded.
However, obviously the current Redmi k40S mobile phone products with a very low price, a price of one thousand seven, the market attractiveness in the mobile phone market is still very large, just do the previous Redmi K40 this product configuration upgrade version, it is indeed worth buying, after all, the amount of increase is not increased price is indeed still very fragrant.
But it is recommended that if you want to start with the Redmi k40S product, or consider the situation that the next market may directly abandon the Snapdragon 870 processor, or there will be better processor product choices on the market next?
Redmi k40S is obviously the development of the mobile phone market is to want to exchange price for volume, and now there are products, in the next at least half a year of development time, after all, the price reduction can still be maintained for a month or two, but it is indeed not impossible to buy, do a spare product or student machine is still very good.
