Huawei P40 makes another big announcement: new self-developed technology!

Huawei has already stated that there will be a series of big moves on February 24, and will hold an online press conference on Suning Live, and at the press conference they will bring new products such as mobile phones, PCs, tablets, and IOTs. Previously, Huawei officially released a series of warm-up posters, suggesting that three important new products to be launched at this conference – Huawei Mate Xs, Huawei Matepad Pro 5G, and the 2020 Huawei Mate X Pro may all debut.

Among them, Huawei Mate Xs is a well-deserved protagonist. Apparently this machine is an upgraded version of Huawei Mate X released on October 23 last year. Yu Chengdong previously revealed that Huawei Mate Xs will upgrade to a better hinge design, a better processor (Kirin 990 5G) and a better folding screen. The pricing of Huawei Mate Xs has also become the focus of attention. In contrast, Huawei Mate X was priced at 16,999 yuan at the beginning of its release. It is unclear whether the prices of the two models are the same.

It is reported that at this HUAWEI CLOUD conference, a live out-of-the-box live broadcast will also be launched, allowing users to intuitively perceive the HUAWEI Mate Xs folding screen product.

It is also worth noting that Huawei’s HMS service (Huawei Mobile Service) is ready to be launched to build a national mobile phone ecosystem. Industry insiders pointed out that once the HMS ecosystem matures, it will provide conditions for the launch of the Hongmeng system. Once the Huawei mobile phone equipped with Hongmeng is officially launched, it will change the current market competition pattern in which the mobile phone operating systems Android and Apple dominate the rivers and lakes.

However, it is not known whether the Huawei P40 will be unveiled at tomorrow’s conference. Previously, Huawei’s consumer business CEO Yu Chengdong revealed that the new Huawei P40 series will be unveiled in March this year, but the specific time has yet to be determined.

With the release and warm-up of various 5G flagship mobile phone products in the first half of the year, many domestic consumers have focused their attention on the Huawei P40.

A few days ago, @zhihao-Jerry, president of Huawei’s consumer BG LoT product line, tweeted that Huawei WiFi 6+ is here!

It is reported that Huawei P40/P40 Pro is expected to be the first mobile phone to launch this technology. WiFi 6+ is Huawei’s self-developed technology, and new products of supporting routers supported by this technology will be held at Huawei’s 5G full-scenario conference tomorrow.

In fact, many mobile phones have already supported WiFi 6 networks last year, such as iPhone 11, Asus rog2, Galaxy S10 series, Samsung Note 10+ and so on.

According to Huawei, the WiFi 6+ technology independently developed by Huawei is faster than the current WiFi 6 technology. But there is not much information on the details of the technology.

Recently, Bruce Lee, vice president of Huawei’s mobile phone product line, also expressed his views on WiFi 6 on social media.

Bruce Lee said that the theoretical bandwidth of smart phones using WiFi 6 is only 1200Mbps, and the actual measurement is up to 900Mbps, and it can’t reach 150MB/s at all. It is not as good as the Mate 20 series (using WiFi 5 technology) launched in 2018.

At the same time, Bruce Lee also posted a screenshot of the Huawei Mate20 RS Porsche Design WLAN interface. The picture shows that the connection speed reached 1733Mbps, which is faster than WiFi 6.

According to earlier revelations, the wireless solution on the Huawei P40 series is the WiFi/Bluetooth all-in-one chip HiSilicon Hi1105 chip. Some people speculate that this chip should be the WiFi 6+ chip, and Huawei’s WiFi 6+ technology should be based on the current A new solution based on WiFi 6. But what exactly does WiFi 6+ technology look like? We are waiting for the announcement of the press conference tomorrow.

As the press conference is approaching, the latest news about the Huawei P40 series is also constantly breaking out. In addition to the self-developed WiFi 6+, Huawei has also made substantial upgrades at the processor, camera, screen and other hardware levels this time.

The currently known versions include the P40 and P40 Pro, but there have been frequent reports that there are three P40 series mobile phones this year, one of which is the “Emperor Edition” of the P40.

Recently, this news has been further confirmed. Twitter whistleblower @RODENT950 broke the news that the P40 series has three versions, namely P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro Premium Edition.

The last P40 Pro Premium Edition is very likely to be the legendary P40 Pro PE, that is, the emperor’s version of the P40, whose specific model is ELS-AN10.

However, the exact specs differences between the P40 Pro Premium Edition and the P40 Pro are unclear.

According to reports, the P40 Pro will use a dual-hole full screen, which may support a refresh rate of 90Hz or higher, and will be equipped with Kirin 990 5G SOC.

It is reported that Kirin 990 5G adopts the industry’s most advanced 7nm+ EUV process, and integrates 5G Modem into SOC for the first time. It is also the world’s first mobile terminal chip with more than 10.3 billion transistors.

In terms of specifications, the Kirin 990 5G chip adopts the Cortex A76 architecture and uses a 2+2+4 combination scheme. The main frequency of the large-core CPU reaches 2.86GHz, the main frequency of the medium-core CPU is 2.36GHz, and the main frequency of the small-core CPU is 1.95GHz. , GPU is Mali-G76 MP16, powerful performance.

Not only that, in order to solve the power consumption problem brought by 5G, Kirin 990 5G is the first to support BWP (Bandwidth Part) technology. According to reports, flexible switching of bandwidth resources can be achieved under the condition of 5G large bandwidth. Compared with the mainstream flagship chips in the industry, 5G power consumption performance is 44% better. For high-speed mobile scenarios, Kirin 990 5G supports an adaptive receiver based on machine learning to achieve more accurate channel measurement, increase the downlink rate by 19%, and achieve a stable 5G connection.

In addition, foreign media related news pointed out that the Huawei P40 Pro is likely to be equipped with Sony’s new-generation sensor IMX 700 CMOS.

It is said that the effective pixels of the Sony IMX 700 CMOS are 52 million, which is a certain gap from the 1.08M amazing pixels advertised by this year’s flagship models, but the feature of the sensor is that it supports up to 16-in-1 pixel technology, and the output of a single pixel area can be It reaches 4.48 microns. For comparison, the 100-megapixel sensor on the Samsung S20Ulitra supports up to 9-in-1 pixel binning. And also uses a 1/1.33-inch outsole to support RYYB color array. If true, it is expected that the Huawei P40 Pro will usher in an amazing performance in night shooting.

In terms of photography, the P40Pro will be upgraded to a five-camera module. In addition to the 52-megapixel main camera, there is an 8-megapixel telephoto lens that supports 10x optical zoom, a 40-megapixel sports lens, and Macro and wide-angle lenses; the front camera uses a hole-punch dual camera.

I wonder if the P40 Pro will dominate the DxOMark list? We will wait and see.
