A few days ago, an unexpected and reasonable topic rushed to the hot search: #年轻人为什么不愿换手机了 #
In fact, the reason is very simple - the current mobile phone is really too expensive! In addition to being expensive, mobile phones in the past two years have even experienced regression, such as easier to get hot, worse and worse battery life, and so on... So why do young people have to take thousands of dollars a year to buy a flagship machine that experiences regression ~ and not everyone is a digital blogger, there is really no need to replace a new mobile phone immediately.
However, although the mobile phone is a communication tool, it does not need to be replaced frequently. But it is also a consumer product, which will gradually become stuttered over time, the battery life will collapse, and so on... However, just today, there is news that Huawei has an OTA, giving the system a "cloud refurbishment" and giving the old mobile phone a new life!
System cloud renovation, nail household ecstasy This is not an April Fool's Day joke Oh ~ because normally, due to problems such as hardware aging and file fragmentation, the mobile phone will not run smoothly until a certain number of years. Huawei recently opened the "System Cloud Renovation" experience officer recruitment in response to this problem, announcing the upcoming launch of the "System Cloud Renovation" function: backing up data through the cloud, restoring factory settings, restoring data in the cloud, and sorting out the fragmented files of the mobile phone in three steps.
Of course, there is a threshold to trying out this OTA service. First, the experience will be registered from April 6 to April 15, after which an in-person interview will be required offline. At present, offline locations support Shenzhen, Xi'an, Wuhan, of course, if a certain area has a large number of applicants, I believe that Huawei will also increase the offline address ~ at the same time need to fill out a questionnaire, and by manual review, through the review can obtain experience qualifications.
Perhaps at this time, there should be many fox friends who express doubts: can its system cloud renovation really make the mobile phone more smooth? Of course, you can make the phone smooth, but don't expect too much ~ Huawei's "system cloud renovation" here is actually optimizing the fragmentation of storage space. Because the mobile phone runs for a long time, it will produce a lot of cached small files, such as: pictures, small videos, expressions, voices, etc. ~ and as users save and delete pictures and video files, it will also lead to fragmentation of storage space and the speed of accessing files.
This is like everyone often complains that the small and beautiful App is a mobile phone "memory foodie": obviously they have not downloaded pictures, voices, videos and other files, why is the volume larger than many games? Because when you browse these pictures, videos and other files, the App will retain the preloaded cache files, improve the user experience ~ and these cache files will accumulate more and more, especially in Android, Windows these platforms will be multiple paths to save, want to completely delete is simply "as difficult as the sky".....
And a long time, it will fragment the storage space, so many old mobile phones are easy to stutter when running some apps, and flashback ~ and Huawei's "system cloud renovation" is to deal with such problems according to the introduction: you can do fragmentation detection on mobile phones at night leisure time, and start defragmentation.
In other words, Huawei's "system cloud renovation" is aimed at the stuttering caused by the fragmentation of storage space. For the hardware performance caused by the caton, Huawei's "system cloud renovation" can not bring a big improvement ~ for example, you want to pass an OTA, so that the Performance of the Kirin 980 in Huawei Mate20 will soar, and you can run the original god at full frame. Please, OTA is not so magical, if there is, manufacturers will not do it, after all, who is willing to buy a new machine like this~
Conversely, some vendors prefer to use system OTAs to do "bad things":
OTA, also a nail killer, is right, it's you – Apple! The most famous of these is the "speedgate" event: in that year, iPhone 6, 6s, SE generation and many other users, after upgrading the system, the processor will be downscaled, and the performance will also decline. Apple also said: We are to protect the device battery, and to make the user experience better~
Of course, justice is still on the side of consumers: in response to the "speedgate" incident, Apple apologized to users and reduced the cost of replacing the phone battery from $79 to $29. Also, in April 2021, Apple will also pay $3.4 million to 150,000 Chilean users to settle a lawsuit over the famous "old iPhone Caton gate."
In addition to Apple, its nemesis Tesla has also done similar things: in 2019, Tesla has had several spontaneous combustion accidents in succession, and then said that for safety, through OTAs, some old cars have been protectively upgraded: reducing the maximum capacity of the battery after full charge, and also reducing the charging speed of fast charging, which is commonly known as "locking the power". Of course, the ending is also the same as Apple, by the consumer hammer: some Tesla owners are anxious when they hear it, your own battery is not good, why do you reduce my battery life? The backhand sued Tesla. The court also felt that Tesla's operation was not good, and in May last year, Tesla was ordered to compensate 30 Norwegian owners for $16,000 each.
To make the phone smooth, not only OTA manufacturers to make the phone smoother, let the consumer experience better, in addition to launching a "system cloud refurbishment" like Huawei, you can do a lot of other things. For example, recently, Xiaomi OV three domestic manufacturers also jointly announced a decision: starting from April 2022, the app store in the system will no longer allow developers to list 32-bit application packages separately, mainly upload 64-bit applications, and 32-bit can use the compatibility package mode to upload. This means that in the future, the app software of the Android camp will shift from 32-bit applications to 64-bit.
What is the point of doing this? Friends who are familiar with computers should know that Windows is divided into 64-bit systems and 32-bit systems. In addition to recognizing higher memory, 64-bit systems can also take full advantage of the performance of the software. The same is true for Android in this regard. So vendors are vigorously promoting 64-bit applications, which means that hundreds of millions of Android users will get a faster performance experience. This is undoubtedly a good thing for consumers. And now many processors, such as Snapdragon 8, Tianji 9000, etc., their underlying architecture is to cancel support for 32-bit applications. In other words, 32-bit applications are more likely to stutter during operation than 64-bit applications, and they also increase their power consumption...
I hope that all domestic mobile phone manufacturers, as well as the app store, will unite to do what Google has been reluctant to do! Because only in this way can the consumer's experience be upgraded to a higher level, so that the domestic Android ecology can be more healthy and developed ~ only in this way can the foundation be laid well, can we break the wrist with Apple and impact the high-end market!
