I have seen a lot of news about Huawei and Dingqiao before. The news says that many people bought Huawei mobile phone offline in Huawei flagship store, and the salesperson said that this is Huawei's smart phone, so what brand is this Dingqiao? Why can it be sold with Huawei phones? Before you figure out the difference between Huawei mate40 and Dingqiao m40, you should first understand the Dingqiao brand. I will explain in detail below.

Dingqiao Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (TD Tech or Dingqiao) is an joint venture jointly established by Siemens ( Siemens ) and Huawei Tech Co., Ltd. (Huawei) and was officially established in Beijing on March 24, 2005. Dingqiao was originally a joint venture between Nokia and Siemens - "Northy". Its main business is to operate communications business in China. Similar to Huawei ZTE 's business, Nokia and Siemens jointly established Nokia Siemens Networks (hereinafter referred to as Nokia Siemens Communications ). Siemens transferred all Dingqiao shares owned by its name to Nokia Siemens Communications.

According to the agreement reached by both parties, Huawei and Nokia Siemens Communications hold shares in at 49% and 51% respectively, and each invests 200 and 100 employees. The company's CEO and CFO are dispatched by Siemens, while the COO is dispatched by Huawei. Siemens has transferred all its TD-CDMA research and development in Europe to the joint venture in China.

"Dingqiao is a marriage product from a special period, and it was decided from the moment I was born 17 years ago." An industry insider who is more familiar with Dingqiao's business said this. I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Huawei’s Dingqiao helped Huawei a little after ’s equity was lower than Nokia Siemens Communications. With the name of Nokia Siemens Communications, Dingqiao's 5G mobile phone can evade US sanctions.

The difference between Huawei mate40 and Dingqiao m40:

First of all, the appearance of Huawei Mate40 and Dingqiao M40 are both 6.5-inch curved screens. Except for the different logo names on the back, the others are the same. The battery capacity of Dingqiao M40 and Huawei Mate40 is 4200mAh, 40W fast charging, 8.8mm thick, 188g weight, supports IP53 dustproof and waterproof, and also has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Then there is a comparison of parameters. Comparing the configuration information of Dingqiao M40, you can find that except for its appearance like Mate40, almost all other configurations have nothing to do with Mate 40. For example, it also has a 6.5-inch FHD+ screen, but Dingqiao M40 does not support high refresh rate and the screen is only 60Hz; in terms of processor, the Mate40 uses Kirin 9000E, while Dingqiao M40 uses MediaTek Dimensity 1000+. Although Dimensity 1000+ supports 5G, it is actually a mid-to-low-end product released two years ago, and it lags behind the Kirin 9000E in terms of process, architecture, power consumption, CPU/GPU performance, etc. In terms of image configuration of

, the 64-megapixel main camera used by Dingqiao M40 seems to have an advantage in pixel count compared to the 50-megapixel main camera used by Huawei Mate40. But Huawei Mate40 uses a 50-megapixel super-sensing camera. This main camera is Huawei's self-developed RYYB large-sole main camera. In addition, it has deep adaptation to the Kirin chip ISP and NPU, so it has stronger imaging capabilities. In terms of

system, Huawei Mate40 has used Harmony OS2, and Dingqiao also uses Huawei's EMUI 10. Fluidity Although Huawei's EMUI developed based on Android has done a good job, Huawei's independently developed Harmony OS2 is smooth and intelligent, and the game screen frame drops, etc. are all optimized well, and the battery life is also stronger. The final price of

is that Huawei Mate40 is priced at around 5,000, and Dingqiao M40 is priced at more than 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. It is indeed a high price and low configuration. Except for Dingqiao, which can use 5G network signals, everything else is awkward, so it has been criticized by everyone.

Overall, Dingqiao mobile phone brand only imitates Huawei's clumsy appearance, and actually lacks core technologies such as Kirin chips and Hongmeng ecosystem. It even cut corners on many key configurations. The Dingqiao M40, which is sold at a high price of 4,000 yuan, can only be regarded as learning Huawei's "skin" and not learning Huawei's "soul" at all. This kind of product that is not serious about "copying homework", even if one day I can copy Huawei's name together, I am afraid it will still not be recognized by the market and consumers. Simply put, Dingqiao M40 is more like a "Huawei OEM".

For Huawei, we should think about it: Will the existence of such an OEM licensed product also cause damage to its own brand image and consumer recognition?

Currently, Huawei Mate40 and Dingqiao M40 have been removed from the official flagship store online and can only be purchased in unofficial stores.
