The reason why Huawei's mobile phones can surpass high-end process chips with seemingly backward technology lies in the optimization of Huawei's system. Many people are still using older Kirin processors, such as the He820, instead of upgrading to the latest high-end chips. Why is this happening?The reason is that Huawei's system can adapt to the user's usage habits and maintain a smooth user experience. Most users just switch back and forth between a few apps, and the requirements for their phones are not demanding. Therefore, Huawei's system has been finely optimized to keep the phone running in a slow and stable way, without stuttering. After getting used to this way of use, users will not feel that the phone is stuck. Even old phones can maintain continuous smoothness until they are replaced. It wasn't until I changed to a new phone that I found that the old phone had become stuck. The optimization of Huawei's system makes users not feel obvious lag during use, which is one of the reasons why Huawei mobile phones can be popular.
Huawei's choice of self-developed Kirin chips is not for the highest performance. As Huawei's latest generation of chips, the Kirin 9000s is not the highest performance in the industry, after all, it is only in the range of about 7nm. However, Huawei's purpose in choosing its own chips is to better optimize the system so that it can be perfectly adapted to the chip and perform better. In the case of insufficient hardware performance, the deficiency is compensated by software optimization. Huawei's phones have also increased their memory from 6GB to 12GB, similar to widening roads so that vehicles can avoid congestion and maintain an even maximum speed without having to brake frequently. In contrast, even with a high-performance chip, it needs to brake sharply in an unexpected situation in ordinary scenarios, and then accelerate to increase speed. Doing so consumes more energy and also produces more heat. Although Huawei's HarmonyOS system and Kirin chip may not be the highest, they can be coordinated very well. Even in Honor of Kings games with high frame rates, it will not bring excessive stress and heating problems to the phone.
Huawei's choice of self-developed Kirin chips and HarmonyOS systems is not for the pursuit of momentary breakthroughs and instantaneous high performance. On the contrary, Huawei focuses more on building a complete, autonomous and controllable ecosystem. When faced with difficulties, Huawei chooses to make it more difficult for itself, not to "make fun of suffering". Although continuing to use the open-source Android system can avoid the problem of chain interruption, the reason why Huawei chose the self-developed system is to make the system better adapt to the chip and thus play a better performance. Huawei's self-developed chips and systems can achieve better optimization results in the combination of hardware and software, providing a smoother and more stable user experience.
Huawei's self-developed Kirin chips and HarmonyOS systems are not just for mobile phones, but for building a broader ecosystem for the future. With the advent of the 5G era, the Internet of Things will become a huge market, covering a variety of devices and application scenarios. The advantage of Huawei's system is that it can adapt to different chips and devices, providing a unified user experience and efficient performance. In the future, Huawei is expected to achieve breakthroughs in the IoT field through its self-developed technologies and create more unique and competitive products.
By optimizing the system and self-developed chips, Huawei has successfully used the so-called "backward technology" to surpass high-end process chips. Huawei's system is optimized to keep old phones running smoothly and meet the needs of most users. The combination of the self-developed Kirin chip and the HarmonyOS system enables Huawei to achieve better performance and stability, and lay the foundation for building a broader ecosystem in the future. For Huawei, choosing the self-development route is not just a temporary solution to deal with external difficulties, but also for long-term development and technological innovation.
