Although I have never used Honor 40GT, I think everyone's expectations for Honor's optimization are too high, or underestimating the heating power consumption of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. This is not a simple problem that can be solved by 13-layer three-dimensional heat dissipation.
First of all, Honor X40GT still cannot be avoided from the suspicion of clearing inventory for Qualcomm
I want to admit that Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is a powerful chip, but I also think it is a chip that generates huge heat. From the early Xiaomi 11 to the later Snapdragon 888 models (including Huawei P50), all of which are high heat + high power consumption. After two years, this still cannot be fundamentally solved. Because this is a physical defect, otherwise the Snapdragon 8+Gen1 would not have switched from Samsung to TSMC.
So I think that in addition to using cost-effectiveness to increase your popularity, Honor X40GT's operation will also help Qualcomm clean up its inventory, so that it can get the latest Snapdragon 8Gen2 processor as soon as possible, and even the 7Gen2 processor is the hot topic that everyone is competing for. For companies like Qualcomm, if you don’t give enough benefits, why should they give you the first release?
Secondly, Honor X40GT heat dissipation is indeed stacked
Honor X40GT uses 13-layer three-dimensional heat dissipation magic equipment, with a total heat dissipation area of 16,300mm². This heat dissipation area does look quite frightening, but compared to those e-sports mobile phones, it is not worth mentioning at all. Red Magic is also equipped with centrifugal fans, and the heat dissipation ability is not bad.
But to be honest, the reason why Honor X40GT launched the Snapdragon 888 phone at this point in time is obviously prepared. Just talking about this cooling configuration, it must have a rough understanding of all Snapdragon 888 mobile phones on the market, and then this solution was given. That is what everyone says, according to other people’s answers, if you answer the questions again in two years, you won’t even get an excellent score, that’s really not the case.
Finally, X40GT time point is selected well
Whether you admit it or not, releasing a mobile phone in winter does have an advantage over releasing a mobile phone in summer. With the same performance scheduling and power consumption, the body will heat up in summer, which is a normal warmth in autumn and winter.
Some time ago, the summer temperature was high, and it was above 40 degrees Celsius at any time. During this period, it was generally around 20 degrees Celsius. For consumers, the ambient temperature has a huge impact on mobile phone heat dissipation and power consumption. So the Honor X40GT is selected well at this time. When everyone feels hot tomorrow summer, this phone will almost be removed from the shelves. No matter how you complain, it will not have much impact on sales, and consumers will not care.
I always think that the X40GT mobile phone launched such an e-sports mobile phone at this time, which is not about wine, but is the high cost performance. But don’t think of Honor so honestly. Look at the previous Honor Digital Series and Magic Series. With Honor’s pricing, such a strong mobile phone will not be so cheap. At most, it will be a low profit for reputation. However, the comprehensive experience of the product is not as good as expected. At least we will review it again next summer.
