The way for the master of image to counterattack —— Review of Huawei P-series full-model inventory

Unconsciously, Huawei P series has reached the first 10 year. Since its birth, P series has been positioned as a light and fashionable mobile phone for young people, and has chosen a completely different route from Mate series in middle-aged business. Next, let's review the development of Huawei P series in the past 10 years.

Huawei P 1 was released at CES Consumer Electronics Show in the United States on June 20 12. It adopts 4.3-inch Super Amoled screen with resolution of 960x540, dual-core processor of OMAP 4460 of Texas Instruments, clocked at 1.5GHz, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, and runs Android 4.0 system in the factory. 1G RAM, 4GB ROM, 8 megapixel rear camera,1200,000 pixel front camera, priced at 2999.

This is Huawei's first foray into high-end products, with ultra-thin body design, integrated body shell design and non-removable battery. From P 1, Huawei gradually got rid of the previous low-end positioning and began to emerge in the high-end market.

20 13, released by Huawei P2. The front of P2 adopts a 4.7-inch 720p screen, which is still an integrated and light design, equipped with 1GB RAM, 16GB RO and 2420 mAh battery. The highlight of P2 is that it is equipped with the HiSilicon K3V2 quad-core processor developed by Huawei, which is manufactured by 40nm technology and clocked at 1.5Ghz, but it has not been listed in China.

On June 18 of the same year, Huawei officially released P6 in London. P6 has attracted great attention since its release: the thickness of Emotion UI based on Android 4.2.2 is only 6. 18mm (dual-card version is 6.48mm), which is the thinnest smartphone in the world at that time; All-metal fuselage design, back metal wire drawing process; The screen resolution is 4.7 "720p. It is equipped with HiSilicon K3V2E quad-core processor, 8 megapixel rear camera, 5 megapixel front camera and 2000 mAh battery. The transition from plastic to metal has made this mobile phone a qualitative leap in appearance and texture compared with the previous generation.

20 14 On May 7th, Huawei released its new flagship P7 in Paris. P7 boldly adopted the metal+double glass structure on the fuselage this time, but still continued its ultra-thin fuselage, with a thickness of only 6.5mm, but still stuffed a 2500 mAh battery; 5 inch 1080P full HD screen; The front lens is 8 million pixels, and the rear camera130,000 pixels; Equipped with 1.8GHz HiSilicon Kirin 9 10T quad-core processor, running Emotion UI 2.3 based on Android 4.4.

Compared with P6 and P7, they are fully upgraded, and the manufacturing process, battery capacity, processor and camera have made great progress. And the slogan of P7: Gentleman is like a orchid, which has also become the most classic slogan of P series.

On April 20 15, Huawei released a brand-new P8 series in London. This is not only P8, but also P8 Max and P8 Youth Edition. Moreover, the positioning of these three mobile phones is in line with its advertising slogan: flowing like water.

P8 did not continue the metal+glass fuselage of P7, but returned to the metal fuselage design. 5.2 inch 1080p LCD screen; Equipped with Kirin 935 processor, running memory 3G; Rear13 megapixel camera, front 8 megapixel camera, battery 2680 mAh.

Huawei P8MAX has the same hardware configuration as P8, with the screen increased from 5.2 inches to 6.8 inches and the battery increased to 4360 mAh. At that time, the proportion of mainstream screens was 16: 9, which was comparable to a flat panel.

P8 Youth Edition is a mobile phone that has been castrated in all aspects. The processor is downgraded to Kirin 620, the screen is reduced to 5 inches 720p, and the running memory is 2 g. Positioning more entry-level.

It is worth mentioning that P series has been using its own Hisilicon processor, which has poor performance and compatibility, so its performance has been lagging behind the Qualcomm camp in the same period, resulting in unsatisfactory sales. The Kirin 935 processor used by P8 is composed of eight A53 corelets, and its performance is weak. However, in the same period, Qualcomm's competitive product was the famous Huolong 8 10. P8 has won a relatively good reputation for its excellent power consumption and thermal control, and it does not lag behind other manufacturers except Samsung in performance.

Although Huawei has made great efforts to establish the high-end image of P-series, and there have been classic advertising slogans such as Gentleman Rulan, it has always been far from the top flagship of Apple Samsung in terms of configuration. The appearance of P9 finally made half of the P series step into the high-end ranks.

P9 continues the design language of P8, with a 5.2-inch 1080 display screen and 2.5D glass at the screen edge. All-metal fuselage and back wire drawing process further highlight the metal texture; In terms of hardware configuration, P9 is equipped with Kirin 955 processor, with 3+32 and 4+64 options; Built-in 3000mAh battery. On the basis of the same hardware, the P9 Plus increases the screen to 5.5 inches and the battery to 3,400 mAh.

These configurations alone are not enough to keep P9 out of it. The key to P9' s popularity is that it is equipped with two cameras jointly set up with Leica: dual120,000 pixel camera, a black-and-white lens and a color lens for collaborative imaging, which makes P series achieve a great leap in the photo effect. Leica filter on P9 is also called the strongest P-series model by many pollens.

20 17 On February 26th, Huawei released the P 10 series. Huawei P 10/P 10 Plus continues the classic family design of P series. P 10 adopts 5. 1 inch, 1080P LCD screen, brand-new Kirin 960 processor, 4G RAM, battery capacity of 3200mA, and equipped with EMUI 5. 1. The screen of P 10 Plus is increased to 5.5 inches, and the battery is 3750 mAh. Other configurations are the same as P 10.

P 10 has two core innovations this time. One is that the back fuselage adopts drilling and sandblasting technology, which makes the back feel more comfortable. There are five colors: ceramic white, obsidian black, rose gold, streamer gold and Hao Yueyin. Pan Tong Company has introduced two special colors of the fuselage, namely vegetation green and diamond blue, which lead the color trend of the back cover; The second is the upgrade of the lens. P 10 gives the title of "portrait photographer". Equipped with a new generation of Leica lens,12 million pixel color lens, 20 million black and white lens, supporting optical image stabilization and optical zoom; P 10Plus also increases the aperture to F 1.8, so that more light can enter in the dark environment and beautiful portrait photos can be taken.

Just when the P 10 series achieved unprecedented success, the mixed incident of flash memory and screen oleophobic layer dealt a great blow to the high-end image finally established by P 10, and Huawei did not publicly apologize for this incident, which caused quite a controversy. After this incident, buying a machine and testing the flash memory and oleophobic layer first became a necessary option for major evaluations.

One year later, from 2065438 to March 2008, Huawei P20 series was officially released in Paris, France. This time, Huawei brought Huawei P20, P20Pro and Mate RS. Let's focus on the first two models.

P20/P20 Pro adopts Kirin 970 processor, running 6G of memory, all UFS2. 1 flash memory; The exterior design was changed from the classic family design. The front adopts the design of Liu Hai's big chin, and the physical fingerprint Home button is integrated at the bottom. The back abandoned the metal body and replaced it with glass, which brought a very classic aurora color matching. Subsequently, it caused a wave of mobile phone manufacturers adopting the gradient back cover. Until today, there is a mobile phone with a gradient back cover.

Different from Huawei's medium cup and large cup in the past, they are only different in screen size and battery. P20 and P20 Pro are different in many configurations this time. P20 adopts LCD screen, and P20Pro adopts OLED screen; P20 Pro supports IP67 waterproof grade, and P20 only supports IP53；; As for the camera, P20 uses12 megapixel Sony IMX380 as the main camera, and 20 megapixel black-and-white lens as the auxiliary camera. P20 Pro is very violent in terms of cameras. The main camera adopts the largest11.7-inch Sony customized IMX600 sensor at that time, which is much larger than Samsung Apple's 1/2.55-inch lens at the same time. One sub-camera is a 20-megapixel black-and-white lens, and the other is an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, which supports 3 times optical zoom.

It can be said that the camera configuration of P20 Pro is not only far stronger than P20, but also far stronger than other brands. It is Huawei's years of technical accumulation and the blessing of the outsole lens that finally made Huawei surpass Apple Samsung in taking pictures and become the king of domestic cameras. Competing with Apple Samsung with its exclusive selling point.

The success of P20 series made Huawei's years of deep cultivation finally bear fruit. P30 series is to work harder to create a black road in the camera and make it the ultimate camera king.

P30 series is equipped with Kirin 980 processor; The screen shapes are all water drop screens, but the difference is that P30 is a Samsung 1080P OLED straight screen, and P30 Pro is a BOE 1080P OLED curved screen. This wave of anti-Pro caused a lot of controversy at that time. The back cover is made of glass, which not only retains the classic gradient color, but also introduces a brand-new sky realm and black tea and orange color matching!

On the camera side, it is another violent escalation. P30 adopts IMX600y main camera arranged in RYYB,11.7 inches, with 40 million pixels. Two sub-cameras, one is a16 megapixel super wide-angle lens and the other is an 8 megapixel telephoto lens, which supports 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom; P30 Pro is the same as P30 in the main camera, but with the addition of optical image stabilization, the aperture is upgraded from F/ 1.8 TOF/ 1.6, and the auxiliary camera has a 20-megapixel super wide-angle lens and an 8-megapixel super telephoto lens, which supports 5 times optical zoom and 50 times maximum digital zoom, and a 300,000-pixel TOF lens.

P30 series violent lens configuration has completely set off a lens war in the mobile phone industry. In the next few years, various manufacturers are frantically piling parameters on the camera, spelling scores and playing very hard. With P30, Huawei has strengthened its leading position in taking photos.

If P20 and P30 are the concentrated outbreaks of Huawei's research and development achievements for many years, so that Huawei can truly compete with international manufacturers on the same stage, then P40 is the beginning of truly surpassing Apple Samsung on this basis:

P40 is equipped with Kirin 990 processor, 6. 1 inch straight screen, 3800 mAh battery, and supports 22.5w charging. Both P40Pro and Pro+ are 6.58-inch four-curved screens, which support 90Hz refresh rate, 4200 mAh battery, 40w fast charging and wireless charging, among which Peo+ supports up to 40w wireless charging; As for the camera, P40 has a11.28-inch 50-megapixel IMX700Y main camera, Pro and Pro+ have a super wide-angle lens of11.5-inch IMX608, and P40 Pro has five times the optics of12-megapixel camera. In terms of color matching, bright black, dark blue, frosted silver, morning gold and zero white, as well as ceramic black and ceramic white with oversized cups, each color matching is exquisite.

Although P40' s camera is very powerful and colorful, it is the flagship of image after all, and there are still many shortcomings in other aspects, such as huge "pills" on the front, weak Z-axis motor and single speaker. But even so, it can't hide the strong momentum of P40 series.

Just when Huawei was about to reach its peak, Huawei encountered the biggest difficulty: the supply of chips within Huawei continued to be tight, and the shipment volume was greatly reduced. Under such difficult circumstances, Huawei still released the Huawei Mate40 series equipped with Kirin 9000. While many people think Mate40 is Huawei's swan song, P50 is still difficult to meet us this year. At the end of July, Huawei P50 series was officially released.

Huawei P50 has a double-ring design on the back and a straight screen with a single hole in the center of the front, with a screen size of 6.5 inches and a refresh rate of 90Hz. The processor is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G and does not support 5G network. The battery capacity is 4 100 mAh, which supports 66W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. In terms of taking pictures, the P50 is equipped with a 50-megapixel color lens,130,000 super wide-angle lens and120,000 periscope telephoto lens, which supports 5X optical zoom. In other respects, P50 Standard Edition also supports dual speakers, and IP68 is dustproof and waterproof.

The back of P50 Pro is still a double-ring design, and the front is a 6.6-inch curved screen with a central hole, and the refresh rate is120hz; . The processor is equipped with Kirin 9000/ Snapdragon 888, and still only supports 4G, with a battery capacity of 4360 mAh, and supports 66W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. In terms of taking pictures, P50 Pro is equipped with a 50-megapixel color lens, a 40-megapixel black-and-white lens, a 654.38+0.3-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens, which support 3.5 times optical zoom, among which the color lens and telephoto lens support optical image stabilization. In addition, dual speakers and IP68 are not without them.

Although P50 series has improved the photographic performance of P50 by optimizing software and hardware and computing photography, it is a pity that there is no brand-new outsole sensor and the whole system does not support 5G, which is really embarrassing. As a result of sanctions, Huawei can only bring us this imperfect work, but P50 and P50 Pro still show strong photo-taking ability, showing us Huawei's unremitting efforts in this regard.

Looking back on the development course of P series 10 years, it is not only by overnight efforts, but by years of deep cultivation. Huawei has suffered countless hardships on this road: first, K3V2, which has been criticized, and then Kirin 9 10/0,935, which has average performance. Then, the flash gate and oil repellent layer made Huawei questioned. But in the end, Huawei persisted and made such powerful chips as Kirin 990 and Kirin 9000, and such excellent products as P40 and P50. The photo shoot was not excellent at first. It took years of research and development and polishing to compete with Apple Samsung and even surpass their existence. We can see Huawei's efforts in this series every step of the way. I also hope that Huawei will make more progress in video recording and photo taking experience in the future.

In a word, I believe P50 is definitely not the last work in the P series. In the future, more excellent P60 and P70 will meet us, and I hope more excellent Kirin chips will come back together!
