On September 1, netizens who followed Huawei’s development were cheering, because Huawei Cloud mobile phones were born .
Strictly speaking, the Huawei Cloud mobile phone was actually born on March 5 this year, but it has been unknown and has not attracted everyone's attention.
And the reason why it was " born out " on September 1 was mainly because Huawei's mobile phone was about to be stuck on the chip. Many people think that cloud mobile phones will allow Huawei to bypass the lithography machine without fear of chip blockade. , To achieve a headwind .
But can the good wishes of netizens really come true? The answer can only be, Ran and Egg.
01 What is a cloud phone
According to the introduction of Huawei's official website, Huawei Cloud Kunpeng Cloud mobile phone is based on the Huawei Cloud Kunpeng bare metal server, virtualizing a cloud server with a native Android operating system and a virtual mobile phone function.
To translate it, the mobile phone system and various software are all left on the cloud server, holding a screen in your hand, and you need to click on the screen to make remote calls.
So what can Huawei Cloud phones do?
According to Huawei's official website, there are three key application scenarios for cloud mobile phones, namely, secure mobile office, cloud mobile games, and cloud interaction . As for the basic function of calling, it is even more important.
Let's take a look at the price. It is also on Huawei's official website. The minimum configuration of cloud phones costs 5950 yuan per month .
Yes, you read that right, the cloud phone is charged monthly, and it charges 5950 yuan per month .
It is estimated that most people still think that cloud mobile phones can be like ordinary mobile phones now, for 5950 yuan to permanently buy the ownership and use rights of the mobile phone.
02 Can cloud mobile phones get rid of the dependence on chips?
Since the main functions of cloud phones have been transferred to cloud servers, cloud phones are just a block screen, and a screen with a chip.
However, the efficiency of the chip used in the screen is relatively simple, and the requirements for the chip manufacturing process are relatively low. With the current level of the domestic lithography machine, it is completely competent.
Therefore, the chip of the cloud mobile phone will not be restricted.
However, according to Huawei, the cloud server of the cloud phone uses the Kunpeng 920 processor, which is a 7nm service processor developed on the ARM architecture. It is still manufactured by TSMC and cannot be produced with domestic technology.
Therefore, once the inventory is used up, the cloud server of the cloud phone will also face the dilemma of coreless availability, and it will still be unable to get rid of the dependence on the chip .
03 Can cloud phones replace current phones?
First of all, look at the official response. According to the cloud phone instructions issued by Huawei to Chinanews, the cloud phone will not replace the physical mobile terminal being used .
Let's look at the application scenarios officially recommended by Huawei Cloud Mobile, such as secure mobile office, cloud mobile games, and cloud interaction. The focus is on multiplayer scenarios , not individuals.
Third, Huawei announced that it will be able to receive Huawei Cloud phones for free until October 31 . So, I also want to give it a try.
When I came to the claim page, I found that the cloud phone is only available for "corporate users", and individuals cannot claim it .
Fourth, let’s look at prices.
Huawei Cloud mobile phone is charged monthly, 5950 yuan per month , or the minimum configuration, it is 71,400 yuan in one year .
The current ordinary mobile phone, 6,000 yuan is paid out, and what is returned is the ownership and use right of this mobile phone, and there is no need to spend any more money thereafter.
If it were you, would you buy a cloud phone?
From all these points of view, cloud phones are not aimed at individuals, but at enterprises.
Therefore, from the beginning of its birth, cloud mobile phones are not intended to replace existing physical mobile terminals, but rather an extension and supplement to existing mobile applications.
We can regard cloud mobile phones as high-end mobile phones , which have all the functions of ordinary mobile phones, but there are still many functions that are not used by individuals, but enterprises will like very much.
This is like WeChat and Dingding . WeChat focuses on daily communication between individuals and can also be used for work. DingTalk is mainly targeted at office applications, and for this purpose, many office functions have been developed, such as attendance check-in, multi-party calls, conference calls, video conferences, etc.
Therefore, the functional focus of the two software is different, and cloud phones and ordinary phones also have different functional focus.
Originally, the function is worse. If you have to charge 5 RMB 9.5 per month, it will be even more useless. Cloud phones also have this problem.
If you think that the birth of cloud mobile phones will allow China to get rid of its dependence on chips, and even realize corner overtaking with existing chip technology, you really think too much.
I am afraid that the cloud phone itself will be curious: " Is this still the original goal planned for me? "
During this period of time, everyone was angry because of the chip. They were all suffocating in their hearts. They were eager to raise their eyebrows and stand up. So when they saw something good, they would get excited.
But the reality is that the gap does not occur overnight, and it will not be resolved overnight. Only by using the power of the entire semiconductor industry, or even the power of the whole country, to increase investment and research and development in basic science, can it be possible to break through the blockade as soon as possible.
Believe that that day will come.
