Recently, Huawei's new folding screen phone, the Pura70 Ultra, has attracted a lot of attention in the industry because of its innovative retractable camera module.
Li Nan, a well-known technology blogger, commented on this, believing that this telescopic camera structure will definitely increase the after-sales rate of Pura70, which is conservatively estimated to be at least two or three times that of usual. Li Nan's comment sparked a discussion in the industry, and everyone expressed different views on it.
Li's comments reflect concerns about the use of new technologies in the industry
As a senior technology blogger, Li Nan has a unique and profound perspective on the mobile phone industry.
His questioning of the structure of Huawei's Pura70 retractable camera reflects widespread concerns in the industry about the reliability and after-sales service of smartphones that apply this innovative mechanical structure to complex environments.
In the past, the entry of mechanical moving parts such as ejection cameras and autofocus iris into smartphones has raised similar questions. Because these mechanical structures are more fragile than optical aids, they are more susceptible to damage over long periods of repeated use.
This is a cause for concern for smartphones that require frequent upgrades and iterations.
Therefore, Li Nan's comments basically reflect a consensus in the industry that they are skeptical and vigilant about the application of innovative technologies, which is conducive to manufacturers being more cautious in design and testing and reducing possible problems.
The technical details of the Huawei Pura70 telescopic camera are worth paying attention to
The retractable camera that Huawei has adopted on the Pura70 this time is different from the previous ones in that it uses an optical zoom design instead of a digital zoom. This technology can provide sharper focus, also known as "DSLR-level" image quality.
Judging from the currently exposed teardown report, the Pura70 telescopic camera module adopts a modular design idea, and installs it in a relatively independent area on the back cover of the mobile phone, which is conducive to reducing the impact on the main body of the mobile phone.
The camera body is also indeed large, which is conducive to the quality of optical imaging to a certain extent.
If Huawei can further optimize the design in terms of modularity and improve the replaceability of components, it will also be conducive to later maintenance and replacement. Modular design is a direction worth pushing.
Time will still have to wait, but Huawei has accumulated a wealth of experience
Although Li Nan's worries cannot be said to be unreasonable, his attitude of "no results, doubts" is also a little too conservative about technological progress. From the perspective of Huawei's technology accumulation, they also have strong strength in precision mechanical design and quality control.
In the past, mechanical structures such as aperture autofocus and lifting cameras have been similarly questioned when they entered smartphones, but they did not lead to significant after-sales problems as Li Nan expected.
Huawei is confident that through precise process design and strict quality control, the failure rate of this mechanical structure can be reduced.
Of course, this new technology will still need to be tested by time. We need to be patient and wait for the market feedback results instead of jumping to conclusions that are too subjective. Huawei's engineering team also needs to maintain a humble and cautious learning attitude, and constantly summarize and improve.
Camera innovation is still an important direction for smartphones
It can be seen that, despite the doubts, innovative mechanical structures will remain one of the important means of upgrading the technology of smartphone cameras in the foreseeable future. This is not only Huawei, but also Apple, Samsung and other manufacturers are also continuing to explore.
Because the potential to improve image quality through pure software algorithms has gradually weakened due to the limitations of physical optics, hardware innovation has become the only way to improve camera quality.
Once mechanical designs such as telescopic zoom are introduced, it is possible to achieve a significant increase in functionality and user experience.
Of course, the emphasis on hardware innovation doesn't mean that software algorithms can be ignored. The two need to be optimized in tandem to really get the most out of them. Huawei has also accumulated rich experience in algorithms such as sensitive privacy processing, scene recognition, and night shooting.
epilogue
Li Nan's comments put forward a perspective worthy of consideration in the industry. We should be actively supportive and cautious about new technologies, and time and practice will prove the maturity of a technical direction.
Manufacturers such as Huawei also need to maintain a humble and steady engineer attitude, and promote each other with the constantly tested market and users.
