Reuters reported on March 28th, Beijing time, as the world’s third-largest smart phone manufacturer, Huawei launched its new flagship product, the P20 series, in Paris on Tuesday in order to seek new products in the European market. breakthrough.

In the current European smart machine market, competitors Samsung and Apple have made great progress. However, Huawei’s P20 series, with its rich camera capabilities and aggressive pricing strategy, is trying to compete positively with the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Apple iPhone X in the highly homogenized high-end smartphone market. bc556ap

Huawei said that the high-profile version of the P20, the P20 Pro, is equipped with three cameras and sensors, which also makes the image clarity of this product the leader in existing smartphones. Samsung’s flagship product, the Galaxy S9, launched in Barcelona last month upgraded the camera, and the Huawei P20 Pro is a clear response to Samsung’s product.

At the press conference in Paris, Huawei said that the basic P20 is priced at 649 euros (about 5053 yuan), while the high-priced P20 is priced at 899 euros (about 7,000 yuan). In contrast, according to Samsung’s website data, the price of the Galaxy S9 and the high-priced version of the Galaxy S9+ is about 739 euros (about 5754 yuan) and 869 euros (about 6,676 yuan) respectively.

The European market will be the key for Huawei to become the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer. In China’s domestic market, Huawei is facing fierce competition from domestic rivals, but the European market is different. Thomas Husson, an analyst for consumer equipment at Forrester, a market research organization, said: “Given its absence from the US market, Huawei’s challenge in the European market is how to enhance its brand personality and gain more market share.” s1227-66bq

Huawei stated that in the first half of 2017, the company’s shipment volume in the European market increased by more than 50%. According to data provided by market research company Counterpoint, in the two major mobile phone markets in Europe—the Italian and Spanish mobile phone markets, the current Huawei mobile phone shipment share has exceeded that of Apple and Samsung. Counterpoint estimates that in recent years, the share of Huawei mobile phones in Western Europe has risen to 12%.

The share of Huawei smartphones in the UK and France accounted for 5% and 6%, respectively, and it was lower in the European market. In these countries, Huawei is strengthening its business.

However, Counterpoint analyst Peter Richardson said that Huawei has begun to face greater competition in the European market due to the recovery of Nokia mobile phones developed by HMD Global and its competitors from China. Xiaomi is increasingly powerful in this market.

The increase in the share of Huawei smartphones in the European market will help the company to make up for the disadvantages it has encountered in the US market. The chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FTC) said last week that for Huawei, the FTC plans to adopt “active measures” to ensure the integrity of the US communications industry supply chain.

South Korean technology giant Samsung officially announced on the official website on the official website of a new generation of mid-range mobile processors – Exynos 9610. The processor is affiliated with the Exynos 7 series of Samsung mobile processors. The biggest feature is the addition of visual depth processing, which can achieve 480fps slow-motion photography at 1080p resolution, or 4K 120fps recording and playback capabilities. Samsung pointed out that Exynos 9610 will adopt Samsung’s new generation of 10-nanometer LPP process technology. On the processor side, the 8-core architecture is still based on the classic size core 2.3GHz A73×4 plus 1.6GHz A53×4. Under the DynamIQ big.LITTLE architecture, task scheduling tasks can make full use of each core performance of the CPU, regardless of whether it is a large or small core. It is also equipped with an embedded Cortex-M4F coprocessor to handle the daily sensor message processing. On the GPU, although the public version of the G72 architecture has greatly improved the GPU performance, the Exynos 9610 adopts the Mali-G72 MP3 with only three cores. The future may not be sufficient. bc556ap

For baseband chips, the baseband chip used by the Exynos 9610 supports up to LTE Cat.12 3CA 600Mbps downlink speeds, and up to Cat.13 2CA 150Mbps uplinks. The wireless connection function supports 802.11 ac 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 and FM functions, and satellite positioning supports the mainstream GPS, Beidou, Galileo, and GLONASS systems.

Finally, because Samsung knows that photographing and photography have become the most frequently used features of consumer mobile phones, the Exynos 9610 has specifically added a visual depth processing module to enable deeper facial detection, multi-frame noise reduction, and simulated depth of field. Other functions. At the same time, the CPU supports 480fps slow-motion photography at 1080p resolution, or 4K 120fps recording and playback. These features make the future of the phone with the Exynos 9610 have a good photography function. Currently Exynos 9610 is ready for mass production. Samsung said Exynos 9610 will begin large-scale commercial use in the second half of 2018. s1227-66bq

Later this year, hardware-level protection will be applied to data centers and PC products.

In order to address the vulnerability discovered by the Google Project Zero team earlier this year, Intel and the technology industry faced a major challenge. Thousands of colleagues throughout the industry have made unremitting efforts to ensure that we are able to deliver on our common primary commitment: to protect customers and their data. With humility, I am sincerely grateful to the people and colleagues around the world for their commitment and hard work. And I’m convinced that when companies need help urgently, companies, even competitors, will work together to cope. xc18v04vq44i

However, there is still a lot of work to do. As the security situation continues to evolve, we know that there will always be new threats. This prompted me to draft a pledge to “safeguard safety first” in January. Intel has always been very concerned about security, and now, more than ever, we are sticking to the principles I have stated in these commitments: customer-first urgency, transparent and timely communication, and ongoing security.

Today, I would like to provide some updates to illustrate our continued progress in fulfilling these commitments. First of all, we have now released microcode updates for all Intel products released in the past five years in order to protect against the vulnerabilities discovered by Google through the side channel approach. Secondly, I would like to express my appreciation to all industry partners and express my gratitude. They work closely with us to develop and test these updates, and to ensure that these updates have been productized. AT24C16BN-SH-B

These updates are now in place and I encourage everyone to ensure that their systems are always up-to-date. This is one of the simplest ways to achieve lasting protection. I would also like to take this opportunity to share more details about our future defense of these vulnerabilities at the hardware level. This is also my commitment at Intel’s recent earnings conference call.

Vulnerability variant 1 will continue to be addressed through software defenses, and we are currently working on changing the hardware design to further address the other two vulnerabilities. We have redesigned some of the components of the processor to introduce a new level of protection through partitioning, which will prevent both variant 2 and variant 3 of the vulnerability. You can think of this partition as an extra “protection wall” between the application and the user’s privilege level, setting a barrier for intruders.

These changes will be the first to be applied to our next-generation Xeon Extensible Processors (codenamed Cascade Lake) and 8th generation Intel Core processors expected to ship in the second half of 2018. When these new products come out, the key is to ensure that they provide people with the desired performance improvement. Our goal is not only to provide the best performance, but also to provide the safest performance.

However, our work is not yet over. This is not a one-time event but a long-term commitment. We attach great importance to this. Customer first urgency, transparent and timely communication, and continuous security. This is our commitment, my commitment to all Intel employees.
