After Huawei was sanctioned, the mobile phone business was greatly damaged and fell directly from the second place in the world to other. This undoubtedly released a large number of markets, so each manufacturer showed its capabilities and hoped to take over the market left by Huawei. Among them, the high-end market makes people even more jealous, and the slogans that impact the high-end are shouted louder.
However, reality is cruel. In terms of impacting on the high-end, domestic mobile phone brands can be said to be wiped out. Apple has become the biggest winner. Most of the high-end market left by Huawei has fallen into the hands of Apple. This can be seen clearly from the cumulative list of single products above 6,000 yuan during the Double 11 release of JD .
You can see that the top three on the list are iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro. Moreover, in the cumulative list of full-price single products, iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 occupy the second and third positions respectively. Therefore, in the high-end market, Apple does not have any competitors. With this battle alone, it is estimated that domestic brands will not increase their impact on the high-end in the next three years.
, however, is on the single product list of over 6,000 yuan, and domestic brands are not wiped out. Four domestic mobile phones appear on the list, namely Huawei Mate 50 Pro, Xiaomi 12S Ultra, Motorola razr 2022 (affiliated with Lenovo Group ) and Huawei Pocket S. Some netizens said that fortunately there are Huawei and Xiaomi shy
For this situation, some netizens said that 5G is indeed a joke, and the 4-high-end one still needs to look at Huawei. Even if Huawei Mate 50 Pro does not support 5G, the maximum running memory is only 8GB, and the main camera is still IMX766. It is true that there is no Xiaomi 12S in terms of hardware configuration. Ultra is so strong, but in the minds of consumers, Huawei Mate 50 Pro is still more recognized.
Some netizens also believe that Huawei's reputation is still there. The reputation accumulated by Huawei in recent years is far from comparable to Xiaomi, so it is not surprising that there is a deviation between product strength and market sales. However, it is hard to say how long this situation can last. After all, Huawei has its strength sealed, and its mobile phone business is no longer enough to support Huawei, and there is a possibility of being marginalized.
Regarding the relevant opinions, I personally think that there are 4 folding screen phones in the top 10 of this list. Considering that the market for folding screen phones is not large at present, the sales volume of the two should not be very high, and the gap with Apple is definitely relatively large. Instead of arguing which Mate 50 Pro or Xiaomi 12SU is stronger, it is better to think about whether Android has the opportunity to stand firm in the high-end market in the domestic market.
To be fair, domestic brands have been working hard in the process of reaching the high-end in recent years, and have indeed surpassed Apple in some aspects. For example, taking photos has long surpassed Apple, but they are controlled by others in the core processor. Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 are obviously not good, but everyone must also go on. As a result, it not only hits a loneliness, but the reputation accumulated before has also been greatly affected. On the other hand, Apple and Huawei have self-developed processors, and the products of the two at the same time really beat up their competitors.
So for domestic manufacturers, how to avoid tragedies like Snapdragon 888 is very important. It is obviously unrealistic to launch a self-developed SOC like Huawei in the short term.
Judging from the current situation, each company has launched its own small chips. Moreover, with the development of MediaTek , everyone has more choices on flagship SOCs. Qualcomm will also adopt Qualcomm's technology in the next few years. These are favorable factors for domestic Android manufacturers. If it can be stable for three or four years, domestic Android brands still have hope.
