#324 - Flowers for mete8
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, but the popularity of the Hongmeng X series third-generation phone remained undiminished.
It wasn't until Huawei released its high-end flagship phone, the Huawei Mate 8, that the hype began to subside.
This time, Huawei deliberately moved its launch event forward to the 16th, attempting to intercept the Hongmeng X series launch.
Huawei's product strength is undeniable; its P series and Mate series have consistently occupied the 3,000 to 4,000 price range.
This time, Huawei recognized the high-end flagship market left behind by Samsung, and consequently, raised the price of its phone above 4,000.
Of course, if Huawei wants to sell its phones at such a price, it naturally has to load them with impressive features, as this is the only way to attract consumers to buy their phones.
In recent years, Lu Haifeng has been particularly attentive to the products of two rival companies: Huawei and Xiaomi.
After all, in the Great Xia Kingdom's mobile phone market, the most competitive companies are Xiaomi and Huawei. These two manufacturers are rivals that Huaxing Technology cannot afford to ignore.
However, Lu Haifeng doesn't particularly enjoy watching Huawei's product launches, as they often feel like just a product presentation.
Unlike some rival companies that like to turn their launches into concerts or stand-up comedy shows.
Nevertheless, as Huawei is a competitor of Huaxing Technology, even if he doesn't enjoy watching, Lu Haifeng will still take every capable opponent seriously.
This time, the Huawei Mate 8 phone features a 6.0-inch screen, but Huawei didn't use an OLED screen this time, nor did it adopt a full-screen design.
Instead, it adopted a design方案 that retains physical buttons, along with a very good FHD screen.
The Huawei Note 8 phone uses a metal back cover combined with a unique diamond-cut process, making the screen and phone integration even higher.
This design makes the Huawei Mate 8 phone appear grand, weighty, and gives it a mature feel.
Lu Haifeng didn't find anything wrong with Huawei's design this time, especially since Huawei didn't adopt a full-screen design.
Moreover, this Huawei Mate 8 series focuses on being a business flagship, so naturally, it doesn't need to be as radical in terms of appearance as other manufacturers.
However, while the appearance doesn't need to be radical, the configuration is by no means weak.
This phone is equipped with a Kirin 920 processor manufactured using a 10nm process.
Although this processor's performance isn't as good as the Snapdragon 900, it's by no means inferior to the Snapdragon 900 in other aspects.
This chip has very strong overall strength, with performance improved by about 80% compared to the previous generation, and a benchmark score of over 240,000.
In terms of camera, it features a front-facing 24-megapixel camera and a rear-facing 40-megapixel primary camera that supports 3x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom.
As well as a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens, and utilizes OIS image stabilization technology.
The lens uses high-quality lenses certified by Leica, coupled with the algorithm of Huawei's Kirin processor, making this Huawei Mate 8 phone very powerful.
It can be said that the photo and video capabilities of the Huawei Mate 8 phone have surpassed the recently released Xiaomi MIX phone and Samsung Note 5 phone.
In terms of battery life, the Huawei Mate 8 phone is equipped with dual-cell charging technology, coupled with these two 2000mAh batteries, so the charging and battery life are naturally very strong.
HIFI sound quality speakers, NFC, and a linear motor are all included this time, the only thing missing is the infrared function.
Lu Haifeng felt that the hardware configuration used by the Huawei Mate 8 phone was acceptable. Seeing that the launch event had only been going on for less than half an hour, he was even more looking forward to the content that would follow.
After all, the configuration of the Huawei Mate 8 phone has just reached the level of a high-end flagship, but if it wants to gain a firm foothold in the high-end flagship market, it must come up with something worth selling.
The Samsung Note phone has a powerful screen and system UI, while the Xiaomi MIX phone has wireless charging and a customized Snapdragon 901 processor.
Now, the Huawei Mate 8 phone only has the camera and processor as highlights in terms of accessories, but the screen has some shortcomings.
Insufficient hardware, software to make up for it. Sometimes, what high-end flagship phones sell is not necessarily the configuration, but more of a high-end phone experience.
After all, at the high-end phone level, the configurations are basically similar, completely reaching the top level.
Then what remains is the difference in the phone's operating system and software experience.
Sure enough, after the presenter, Yu Dazui, finished introducing the phone's configuration, he began to explain other aspects of innovation.
This time, when Huawei launched its high-end flagship, it finally brought out its own housekeeping skills: communication technology.
This time, the Huawei Mate 8 phone is equipped with the latest communication technology, improving the stability of connecting to the network by about 80%.
In addition to the upgrade in terms of network, a greater upgrade has also been made in terms of communication.
When users are on a call, the microphone reduces surrounding noise, making the call clearer.
In addition, the receiving end also achieves the uniqueness of sound transmission, making the content of the call difficult for others to hear intentionally or unintentionally.
Huawei's communication technology is fully applied to this phone, and it also proves to consumers what a high-end business flagship phone is.
It can be said that Huawei's positioning of the Huawei Mate 8 phone as a high-end business flagship is a very clear choice.
High-end and atmospheric appearance, high-quality flagship configuration, coupled with features that are very suitable for business people, it can be said that this time Huawei's phone positioning is very accurate.
Compared to the major domestic manufacturers still competing on configuration and parameters, Huawei has already used its own advantages to make flagship phones. This point has already led the various manufacturers.
Lu Haifeng couldn't help but praise Mr. Ren's vision and strength.
But Lu Haifeng thought that this is Huawei's phone to impact the high-end flagship market this year, so the price will naturally not be cheap.
This is not it, its price covers the price range from 4,000 to 6,000, with four different storage specifications.
3+64 GB: 4299RMB
3+128 GB: 4899RMB
4+128 GB: 5499RMB
4+25 B
Obviously, this time Huawei's phone pricing has reached the highest price of Huawei's phones in recent years.
This also shows Huawei's eagerness to impact the high-end market.
Huawei's launch event ended in less than an hour, but it must have made full preparations in all aspects.
After all, this time Huawei held the launch event in advance in order to seize the Hongmeng X series market, as if declaring a challenge to the Hongmeng X series.
Lu Haifeng didn't feel any pressure at all from these challengers, and said with a smile to Liu Jianyu beside him: "What's wrong, are you feeling pressured!"
"I am feeling a little pressured!"
