Recently, Huawei 's mate50 series was particularly popular. Not only did the first batch of 4 million units stocked up, but it also left a huge reservation gap. This situation is really gratifying for Huawei, which has been hit by US sanctions. Everyone still hopes that Huawei can survive. After all, if even Huawei is damaged by the United States, can other technology companies fight? Let’s review the development history of Huawei mate in previous dynasties and explore how the glorious path of the mate series was forged.
Ascend Mate (first generation)
Ascend Mate was released on March 21, 2013. It has a 6.1-inch giant screen (resolution 1280x720 pixels) and a built-in 4050 mAh ultra-large battery! Think about the Note3 screen released by Samsung in the same year, with a battery size of only 3200 mAh. You can imagine how shocking this phone was when it was released. It was also from this time that the positioning of the Mate series, which mainly features large screens, long battery life and business, was determined.
This machine is equipped with Huawei's self-developed HiSilicon K3V2 quad-core processor, but the GPU of the processor is not compatible enough, and it does not use the advanced 28nm process at that time, but uses TSMC's 40nm process, resulting in high power consumption and large heat generation. With a lot of pressure, Huawei used this processor on its flagship phone for the first time, which led to the continuous improvement and optimization of the subsequent development and the birth of the Kirin Soc.
Mate 2 (second generation)
Mate 2 was released on March 6, 2014, equipped with the first chip named "Kirin" - Kirin 910. Kirin 910 is the world's first quad-core SoC chip , and integrates Huawei's self-developed Balong 710 baseband, which can support LTE 4G networks (this also makes Mate2 the first 4G mobile phone for Huawei).
In addition, this SoC uses a 28nm process and mainstream GPU, the actual experience has been greatly improved. Others, except for the upgrade of RAM to 2G and the upgrade of rear camera to 13 megapixels, the hardware has basically not changed much. Overall, this model is a perfect version of the first generation, which is perfect.
Mate 7 (third generation)
Mate7 was released on September 5, 2014. As the first Android phone equipped with fingerprint unlocking, coupled with the large screen long battery life and the craftsmanship of the all-metal integrated body, it was very popular back then! This generation upgrade point has a 6-inch 1080P screen and a large 4100mAh battery. The processor has been upgraded to Kirin 925 octa-core processor, which integrates a coprocessor named "i3" for the first time. Moreover, the comprehensive performance of this U is very strong, and it has reached its position of competing with industry leader , Qualcomm for the first time!
After only two generations of iteration, Huawei has delivered such a beautiful "answer" in the Mate7 generation. The progress can be described as "leading by leaps and bounds". Whether it is the overall appearance design, body texture, functional interaction or hardware strength including the processor, it can be described as "stunning". It is not unreasonable for the "pollen" to affectionately call the phone "Beautiful Legs 7". From then on, Huawei has gained a steady foothold in the high-end market and formed a "three-legged" trend with , Apple, and Samsung.
Mate 8 (Fourth Generation)
Mate 8 was released on November 26, 2015, equipped with the Kirin 950 processor. This is the industry's first flagship SoC that uses 16nm FinFET process, which means that Kirin officially enters the first camp of mobile phone chip in the world! The body design language is consistent with the previous generation, but the screen border is further narrowed, and the screen uses 2.5D curved cover glass.
rear camera has been upgraded to 16 megapixels, supporting optical anti-shake . The memory has been upgraded to 3G and 4G respectively according to the storage version, and the battery capacity has regressed a little to 4000 mAh. In general, it is the ultimate reinforcement version of the previous generation, helping Huawei to roam all over the high-end business market and continue to "conquer cities and land".
