How to choose high-end mobile phones in 2022? Interpreting the three dimensions, this flagship deserves priority

Nowadays, China's smartphone market is moving towards high-end, and consumers are slowly stepping out of the earlier cost-effective thinking, paying more and more attention to the integrated service experience including screen, performance, imagery and privacy and security. Major manufacturers are also increasing investment, successively laying out their own flagship products, and striving to expand their advantages in the high-end field, and the competition is quite fierce.

Previously, a number of high-end flagship products, including Huawei P50 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, and OPPO Find X5 Pro, were also in multiple dimensions and were very hot in the market. The recently released Glory Magic4 series was officially sold on March 25, and it was also particularly popular, and the first sale won the sales champion of Jingdong + Tmall dual platform. So the question is, which flagship is the most worth starting in 2022? Next, we analyze from the four dimensions of screen display, camera quality, performance and privacy protection, and try to find the answer in it.

The screen should not only be displayed well, but also eye protection

Screen as an important carrier of mobile phones to convey information to people, many brands use it as the main selling point for publicity, a good screen in addition to the need to have a good browsing comfort, but also must protect the eyes. From the flagship quality comparison table, we can find that in addition to OLED, the screen type of high-end mobile phones has AMOLED and LTPO materials, and the adaptive high refresh rate of 1~120Hz has gradually become mainstream, which can bring a smoother touch experience.

As for the eye protection part, the current mainstream flagship dimming method is DC dimming and PWM dimming, of which Xiaomi 12 Pro uses 360Hz low-frequency dimming, OPPO Find X5 Pro uses DC dimming +360Hz low-frequency PWD dimming, and according to 1250Hz to achieve low-risk eye protection standards, in contrast, Honor Magic4 takes the lead in bringing the industry's first 1~120Hz adaptive high-refresh rate + 1920Hz high-frequency dimming coexistence screen, so, From the perspective of comfort and eye protection, the screen quality of the Honor Magic4 is indeed better among several flagship machines.

In the battle of flagship images, telephoto lenses are crucial

Speaking of imaging, multi-camera has become a new design standard for smart phones in recent years, throughout most flagship mobile phones, the main camera, ultra-wide angle and telephoto collocation is the most common, the main camera and ultra-wide angle are basically just upgrade the number of pixels, telephoto cameras have been evolving, different manufacturers in the camera tuning optimization strategy and understanding are reflected in the telephoto camera.

Combined with the comparison of image parameters, it can be found that the 5 popular flagships all use a 50-megapixel main lens, and the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, OPPO Find X5 Pro and Honor Magic4 series also have ultra-wide-angle lenses equipped with 50 million pixels to bring a wider visual experience. However, there is also a problem here, the strategy of individual brands in the telephoto is not the same, and the practice of directly "cutting off" the telephoto lens is still too simple and rude.

From a professional photographic point of view, a telephoto lens should be just as important as an ultra-wide angle lens. Ultra-wide angle lens can let us see a wider picture, the vast beauty of the scenery is expressed more completely, but the wide-angle lens also has the disadvantage that the farther photographic subject can not be well framed and narrowed, at this time it is necessary to use the telephoto lens, the telephoto lens can make up for the shortcomings of the wide-angle lens in the shooting, the telephoto lens can use different focal lengths for framing, which can effectively improve the film rate and make the composition more relaxed. Honor Magic4 series adheres to the ultra-wide angle + telephoto combination, helping us to complete more local effects that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and is still extremely friendly to friends who like telephoto shooting.

High hardware specifications, but also a high-performance experience

In today's increasingly serious convergence of mobile phone hardware, high-end mobile phone users have higher and higher requirements for performance experience, which is more testing of the manufacturer's ability to adjust.

This year, including Xiaomi 12 Pro, OPPO Fond X5 Pro, Honor Magic4 series and other flagships are equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8Gen1 processor, this chip is currently the top Soc of the Android camp, to ensure daily use is completely no problem, but in response to heavy load game scenarios, performance release, temperature control, system scheduling, endurance balance has become a touchstone to measure the underlying tuning ability of a flagship.

According to the performance comparison test data of digital blogger "Bright Mountains" 60fps, in the same game scene, the average frame rate of Honor Magic4 reached 51.9 frames, compared with the 46.5fps and 44.2fps of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro and OPPO Find X5 Pro. In the temperature control part, compared with other flagship machines on the market, the use of large-area VC liquid cooling, graphene or built-in fans and other physical cooling to cool down the Snapdragon 8Gen1, Honor emphasizes the combination of soft and hard bottom tuning, combined with magic Live wisdom engine and three major Turbo technologies, through AI wisdom learning to achieve super rendering capabilities in mobile games, as well as unique frame rate enhancement technology, to achieve a balance between game frame rate and temperature control, performance experience even beyond the iPhone13 Pro Max。

summary:

On the whole, 2022 is the year of the explosion of flagship machines, the Glory Magic4 series can start from the actual needs of consumers, solve the pain points of users in terms of screen, performance, image and privacy security, etc., and the starting price of 3999 yuan also has a good cost-effective advantage, which is indeed the most worthwhile high-end flagship in 2022. According to official sources, the honor Magic4 first-selling better than the previous iPhone 13, or the only one in the industry that currently sells more than Apple. Behind this is also its strong product potential drive, the recent friends who have changed machines can pay attention to it.
