U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo, who has always been known for her hardline approach, publicly threatened Huawei before his visit to China in August: "If Huawei does not give up on high-tech research, it will be subject to tougher sanctions." However, at the end of August, when Raimondo visited China, the mate60 pro that was supposed to be released in the month was released in a hurry, and only Shenzhen had a prototype, and the major ** didn't know anything, and even one ** was not received.
Therefore, there is reason to speculate that Huawei is likely to have received urgent instructions from the top management and released the mate60 Pro in advance to deter Raimondo, in order to win more bargaining chips during negotiations.
As consumers buy more and more mobile phones, the reputation of Huawei Mate60 has also undergone some small changes, and some people even directly describe it as "far behind", the biggest slot is performance and heat.
Judging from the SoC ranking of Geek Bay, the comprehensive performance of the Kirin 9000 is second only to Apple's M series, followed by Apple's Snapdragon 8Gen3, 8Gen2, 8+, 8Gen1, and the performance of this series is similar to the A13 carried by the iPhone 11 4 years ago.
In addition, the Kirin 9000 of the Huawei Mate60 is only 40-60% higher than the Snapdragon 8Gen3. Compared with the best chips on the market, the Kirin 9000 is still three or four generations behind.
Moreover, the mainstream view is that the Kirin 9000 uses a 7 nm process, although through hyper-threading, the 8 cores are shortened to 12 cores, but the heating of Huawei Mate60 series processors is still relatively large. Therefore, many netizens have reported that the mate60 series will have a slight heating phenomenon during daily use. Fortunately, Huawei has been prepared for this for a long time, using an ultra-reliable Xuanwu architecture, and the fuselage and middle frame use an integrated aluminum alloy structure, which is more convenient for heat dissipation than the traditional sandwich fuselage.
And the sales of the Huawei Mate60 series are not as good as some netizens expected, not only because of its performance and heat. Judging from the activity of mobile phones in November 2023, Xiaomi has become the biggest dark horse, occupying the second market share, with a year-on-year increase of 441%, and although Huawei has also experienced some growth, it is still far from the unstoppable momentum expected.
The root cause of this situation is that Huawei has not solved the production capacity problem for three months. Huawei Mate60 series of online products,It's still in short supply,If you want to buy it,You have to pay a deposit first,Or increase the price。 This shows how difficult it is to mass produce the Kirin 9000 s.
In fact, the Huawei Mate60 series does not have many advantages in terms of performance, screen, photography, battery life, external amplifier and other aspects. However, Huawei's "far ahead" in configuration is a kind of spirit that would rather be broken than complete!
Under the extreme pressure of a superpower, Huawei was able to stand up to its backbone, create miracles with courage, wisdom, and perseverance, and firmly shouted the words "far ahead". Huawei not only represents mobile phones, but also represents a spirit!
