The lively 2016 has passed. It seems that the international mobile phone manufacturers are not satisfied with this year. Although the new generation of iPhone is still popular, many people complain that Apple lacks innovation and has used the same appearance for three years. The explosion of Samsung Note7 caused Samsung to lose tens of billions of dollars. Although HTC and LG products are still doing well, they have not been favored by the Chinese market. Although Sony's mobile business turned losses into profits this year, there has been nothing outstanding in several generations of products. On the contrary, domestic manufacturers have made great progress in recent years. First, Huawei's shipments exceeded 100 million, and then OV became the dark horse in the market. This is inseparable from the hard work of domestic mobile phone manufacturers for many years. Let's take a look at what innovations domestic mobile phone manufacturers have made in 2016 compared with international manufacturers? Appearance design Full screen In the first half of 2016, Xiaomi performed mediocrely in the market, and voices of badmouthing Xiaomi were heard one after another. However, what surprised us was that Xiaomi actually played the role of an innovator in the second half of the year, and launched the Xiaomi MIX concept phone with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 91.3% and a ceramic body without any warning. Technology media around the world have almost unanimously given high praise to the cool appearance design of this phone. Xiaomi MIX uses Sharp's 6.4-inch 2040x1080 resolution 2.5D screen. The full-screen design is similar to the "edgegest" design of Sharp Crystal 305SH and other models. There is no "forehead" and the side frame is also very narrow. Although it cannot be ruled out that the ID design of Xiaomi MIX has no reference to Sharp's design, Xiaomi MIX still brings us many innovations in the design of "cutting off" the earpiece and sensor. If you want to achieve the "three-sided borderless" design of Xiaomi MIX, the problem of the earpiece and sensor must be solved as a prerequisite. In terms of earpiece design, Sharp Crystal 305SH uses a technology similar to bone conduction, which turns the screen into an earpiece through vibration, and the earphone can answer the call when it is close to the screen. However, Xiaomi MIX did not use Sharp's technology of making sound through screen vibration, but introduced a new technology called "cantilever piezoelectric ceramic sound conduction". "Cantilever piezoelectric ceramic sound guide" means that Xiaomi MIX has built-in piezoelectric ceramics, which can drive the unit to convert electrical signals into mechanical energy, and then resonate with the mobile phone frame to make sound. In fact, when talking, the entire frame of Xiaomi MIX is making sound, the volume is loud, and the sound quality sounds clear. But we found a problem, because when Xiaomi MIX is talking, the entire frame of the phone makes sound, and the person next to you can easily hear the content of the call. So, if you answer a more private call in a public place, you should wear headphones. As for the distance sensor, it is also very important for the experience of the mobile phone. Because when we pick up the phone to answer the call, the phone automatically turns off the screen after recognition through the distance sensor, so as to avoid accidentally hanging up the call (this is why there are so many holes in the "forehead" of the mobile phone). The solution of Xiaomi MIX is to abandon the traditional infrared sensor and use an ultrasonic distance sensor. Because the ultrasonic distance sensor can penetrate the glass, no holes are needed, and finally the "three-sided borderless" high screen ratio design is guaranteed. The front camera is also placed on the chin of the body. In order to provide a normal selfie experience, Xiaomi MIX supports inverted selfies, which is the same as ordinary selfies. It is also worth praising that Xiaomi MIX even customized a rounded rectangular screen to maximize the screen-to-body ratio. This rounded rectangular screen caters well to the chamfer of the body, so the visual perception of the narrow frame is better. Fast charging technology In the development of fast charging technology, domestic manufacturers have always been in the leading position in the industry. On the other hand, international manufacturers, Apple has not yet used fast charging technology, while international manufacturers such as Samsung and LG mostly use Qualcomm's solutions. Huawei and Honor Nowadays, more and more mobile phones support fast charging, but they are mainly divided into two solutions: 1. High-voltage/low-current fast charging, 2. Low-voltage/high-current fast charging. The common solutions of the first solution include Qualcomm QuickCharge, MediaTek PEP, USB-PD, etc., while the second solution includes OPPO's VOOC, Huawei SuperCharge and Honor's Magic Power. Huawei SuperCharge charger supports three output specifications: 5V/2A, 4.5V/5A and 5V/4.5A. Its current and total power are both higher than VOOC flash charging, so in theory, its charging speed is also better. Honor Magic, Honor's latest tribute to the future, also uses low-voltage/high-current fast charging technology, with a peak power of up to an astonishing 40W (5V/8A). A 2900mAh battery can be charged to 90% in 30 minutes, claiming to revolutionize the fast charging experience! The technology of Magic Power is actually an upgraded version of Huawei SuperCharge, and it is also a low-voltage and high-current charging solution. Its working principle is not complicated either. Honor Magic uses a polymer lithium battery. The working principle of a polymer lithium battery is to realize charging and discharging through the process of lithium ion embedding and de-embedding, in which lithium ions are embedded in the negative electrode for charging, and lithium ions are de-embedded from the negative electrode for discharging. Through the improvement of the negative electrode material, the charging current value that lithium batteries can withstand is now increasing, which greatly shortens the charging time in the constant current stage. The negative electrode of the battery of Honor Magic uses a breakthrough special graphite molecule material, which can withstand a large current of 8A, effectively speeding up the charging time. As for OPPO's VOOC flash charging, which first set off the fast charging revolution, there is no need to say more. The slogan of "charging for five minutes, talking for two hours" has long been known to everyone. System and software Big Bang and One Step of Hammer When it comes to system and software innovation, we have to mention Luo Yonghao and Hammer mobile phones, which are still as charming as ever this year. This year, Hammer Technology did not bring T3 as expected, but released M1 and M1L, and equipped with the new SmartisanOS 3.0. Many people know that SmartisanOS of Hammer is a very special Android custom system on the market. It has its own characteristics in both UI design and interaction logic, and has a large group of loyal fans. Hammer has brought us two eye-catching innovations in the system this year. The first is Big Bang. It is difficult to guess the purpose of Big Bang from the name, but in fact it is a relatively complete text editing solution. According to Luo, we only need to press the text with our thumbs in a large area, and there will be an "explosion" effect, which will enlarge the text and divide it into independent words. Users can select text by clicking and swiping the screen, and then choose to search or copy. Overall, this is a very convenient function, especially in English sentences, you can search for the translation of a single word. The second is One Step. The word efficiency is far from being comparable to that of a personal PC on a smartphone, especially the interaction and related use between two applications. In the past, many manufacturers launched split-screen functions, but due to the size of the mobile phone screen, the experience was not friendly enough. The One Step function launched by Hammer solves this problem. One Step allows you to gently swipe your finger in the upper right corner, and then a sidebar will appear. We can drag various pictures, texts, music and even applications to share batches between various software, and the efficiency is comparable to that of a PC. In general, these two major functions of Hammer have indeed greatly improved the execution efficiency of mobile phones and brought some real innovations to make our lives better. Honor Magic Live Smart System When the Honor Magic mobile phone is released in the future, the specially customized system Magic Live it carries will be called the smart system. Compared with Huawei's EMUI, the interface of the Magic Live system adopts a new design style. More importantly, Magic Live provides a smarter experience of interaction, service and information presentation. The artificial intelligence experience of Magic Live is mainly reflected in the system's perception, understanding and analysis capabilities and proactive service capabilities. Perception can provide a special interactive experience, while understanding and analysis and proactive services can provide a smarter service and information presentation experience. The perception capabilities of mobile phones mainly come from rich sensors and the computing power of processors, and these perception capabilities can bring unique interactive experiences. For example, the perception of the screen on and off, when you pick up the phone and look at it, the screen will automatically turn on, and when you put the phone down, the screen will automatically turn off. This is mainly because the Honor Magic's sensor can capture our eyes, so it can realize the function of sensing the screen on and off. It is worth mentioning that because the Honor Magic has a front-mounted infrared camera, this function can also be used normally in low-light environments. Because the sensor has intelligent recognition function, Honor Magic can also actively perform fast face recognition. When there is a new message, only the owner can see the message details in the lock screen state, and the message is hidden from others. In addition, Honor Magic's smart system can use deep learning to identify complex scenes. For example, the phone can sense your driving status and automatically switch to driving mode. Honor Magic's smart system can also understand language through big data analysis, and has an intelligent feedback mechanism. When chatting with friends, Honor Magic can intelligently understand the content of the text message and then intelligently recommend relevant replies. For example, when chatting, the location and weather are mentioned, Honor Magic can directly provide feedback based on the status to obtain relevant information. In addition, when chatting about movies, Honor Magic will recommend recent blockbusters and provide a quick purchase entrance. Finally, Honor Magic's smart system can also improve the effect of mobile phone information management, and it is actively managed. For example, after using Honor Magic to take a taxi, the lock screen interface actively displays the driver's license plate information; after arriving at the cinema, the phone actively displays the ticket code for the booked movie tickets; after shopping online, Honor Magic will automatically compare prices. Coincidentally, the new HTC U Ultra/Play released by the former giant HTC recently also has a similar smart system, which shows that the Honor Magic Live system has great potential. Summary According to authoritative data, among the top 20 smartphone suppliers in the world in 2016, China has occupied 11 seats, while in 2008, China only occupied one seat. Over the years, domestic mobile phones have completed the transformation from the tail of the dragon to the head of the dragon, which is inseparable from the hard work and accumulation of domestic mobile phone manufacturers over the years. We believe that Chinese brands will do better and better, and domestic products should keep going!
