A few days ago, Huawei Yu Chengdong released a new folding screen mobile phone Mate X2. 256GB is priced at 17,999 yuan, 512GB is priced at 18,999 yuan, and will be on sale on February 25.
In terms of hardware configuration, Huawei Mate X2 uses an 8:7.1 golden ratio flexible inner screen, overlying the first magnetron nano-optical film in the industry so far, effectively reducing the reflectivity of the screen. It adopts a 6.45-inch external screen, dual high refresh rate inside and outside screen and P3 wide color gamut.
In the hinge system for opening and closing, Huawei Mate X2 uses zirconium-based liquid metal, super-strength steel and carbon fiber composite double-rotating water drop hinges to reduce bending marks and make the unfolded screen smoother.
In terms of configuration, Huawei Mate X2 is equipped with the Kirin 9000 chip, with strong performance, surging computing power, and smarter capabilities. It is also equipped with 5G dual card experience, slim and large amplitude dual speakers, and 55W Huawei super fast charging.
In all respects, Huawei Mate X2 can be called Huawei’s flagship product.
Some time ago, there were constant rumors about the sale of Huawei mobile phones, and Huawei also drove away several employees who spread rumors. Now that Huawei Mate X2 is released, has Huawei mobile phone come back to life?
The strength of Huawei Mate X2
Huawei Mate X2 is a product that makes things right. At the beginning of the emergence of foldable phones, there were two solutions: outer folding and inner folding. Samsung chose the inner folding, and Huawei chose the outer folding. At that time, there were many disputes over the pros and cons of the two options.
But after a year of practice, it turns out that although the outer folding solution that Huawei chose at the beginning can reduce the thickness of the phone, it has natural defects in the protection of the screen. Although the inner folding solution uses an extra screen, which greatly increases the cost, it is It can protect the screen, so that the phone can be used as a daily main machine.
On this basis, Huawei has also made improvements. One is to design the mobile phone folding layer into an asymmetric structure, which can reduce folding marks to a certain extent.
On the other hand, Huawei replaced one hinge with a double-rotating water drop hinge to reduce bending marks and further reduce creases.
At the same time, Huawei has also done a lot of APP adaptation, so that the non-standard screen ratio after deployment has a better experience.
These technologies make Huawei Mate X2 the best folding phone on the market.
For daily use, it is an ordinary mobile phone, open and use, there is a better experience, smaller creases, and the configuration is top-notch. The strength of Huawei Mate X2 cannot be underestimated.
Maximizing the profits of Kirin 9000
The last six months have been more difficult for Huawei, because TSMC’s cessation of foundry has allowed Huawei to sell one chip less. In order to solve the chip problem, Huawei used all kinds of weak core chips, renamed them, and sold them as mobile phones.
But even so, we still see a serious shortage of Huawei mobile phones. In this regard, Huawei’s correct strategy is to save the use of Kirin 9000. The same Kirin 9000 is used on Mate 40 instead of Mate X2. Both prices The difference is huge.
The Mate X2 series has been successfully positioned in the luxury goods sector by Huawei. It has made enough differences in appearance, and the price has been raised to a price range beyond ordinary mobile phones. This product will have a very good sales promotion effect. A local tyrant will pay for it. Approved local tyrants to pay.
Therefore, although the Mate X2 is priced high, sales are not worrying. In this way, Huawei can maximize the profits of the Kirin 9000 and obtain more profits with limited chip resources.
Will Huawei phones make a comeback?
Although the Mate X2 is released, Huawei has made it clear that the mobile phone business will not give up, but in the long run, the future of Huawei’s mobile phones still depends on the easing of Sino-US relations.
For the mobile phone industry, chips are a problem that cannot be solved in a short time. SMIC also needs American technology and craftsmanship. Neither TSMC nor Samsung can escape US sanctions.
Therefore, although Huawei can maximize the profits of the Kirin 9000 at its disposal, it still uses one chip less than one chip. This situation cannot last. Huawei mobile phones also need sufficient amount to support. In the case that the chip has been sanctioned all the time, Huawei cannot hold on for long.
From the overall picture, the Chinese and American governments are easing. In this case, it is possible for the United States to lift its sanctions on Huawei within a year or two. At that time, Huawei’s brand appeal will rebound, and Huawei will make a comeback.
