The upcoming Honor 6 Plus has been a hot topic on the Internet recently. Not only is there a suspected internal demonstration document leaking the price of the phone, but Honor head Liu Jiangfeng also confirmed the price for the first time on Weibo. The new phone will indeed be released on December 16, which is the first anniversary of the Honor brand’s independence. At the same time, according to reports from Honor insiders, Honor 6 Plus also uses special metal and non-metal materials, resulting in higher costs. This seems to indicate that the final market price of this phone will not be cheap.
Released on December 16
Regarding the official release time of Honor 6Plus, previous news rumored that it will be released in Shanghai on December 17 or 18, and now the head of Honor Liu Jiangfeng officially confirmed on Weibo that the phone will be officially launched on December 16, which is the first anniversary of the independence of the Honor brand.
However, Liu Jiangfeng did not disclose the functional specifications of Honor 6 Plus this time. He only said: "Everyone will wait and see about our flagship Honor 6plus, which will definitely exceed your imagination." Previously, Honor 6 Plus attracted much attention because it adopted a dual rear camera design for the first time. Many people speculated that the phone would have a 3D shooting function. There was even news that Honor 6 Plus would overwhelm Meizu MX4 in terms of photography? Pro.
Using special materials
Of course, the dual-lens design alone may not allow Honor 6 Plus to be officially called "the final work, seeking defeat alone". The phone seems to be still there A lot of effort has been put into the body material and research and development. According to Wu Dezhou HW, Huawei’s head of Honor product field, said on Weibo: “In some aspects, Honor 6 Plus has achieved the amazing effect of an expensive equipment! It uses special metal and non-metal materials, and develops special processing and testing equipment. In order to increase the reliability of long-term use, mobile phones have special processes. In addition to our own multiple top-notch chips, we also "stack" the best devices in the industry. The key is that we have invested a lot in R&D over the past few years and so on... These result in high costs."
Therefore, the use of keywords such as "special metal and non-metal materials", "the best devices in the industry" and "high cost" appeared in the Weibo of Huawei's product field minister, which may mean that the future The price of Honor 6Plus will not be cheap. The previously exposed price of 3,299 yuan may really be the final market price of the phone.
Price: 3,299 yuan
Huawei Yaoguan Wei's new phone preview on Weibo has clearly revealed the name of the new phone through the text combination of "Honor 6 PLUS, taking you to explore infinite horizons" , so the "infinity" symbol that was once interpreted as Honor's upcoming release of smart glasses has only one explanation left, that is, Honor 6 PLUS will definitely be equipped with a dual-lens system.
But with just a dual-lens system, can Honor 6 PLUS be alone?
First let us popularize what a dual-lens system is. This will help us understand why Glory dares to clamor for "Dugu Qiu". You readers can test it first, cover one of your eyes with a hand or an eye mask, and then see what is different about the world. Is the field of view smaller? Isn’t what you’re looking at high-level enough? Have you even lost your balance when walking? Therefore, the difference between a single-lens smartphone and a dual-lens smartphone is like the difference between normal eyes and a "one-eyed dragon". This difference is not only aesthetic, but also a deep-seated difference.
But things are different now. Both Apple and Huawei claim to be making dual-lens mobile phones, and Huawei’s dual-lens mobile phone will be released one year ahead of Apple’s IPHONE 7. Let’s talk about Apple’s dual-lens solution first. , Apple’s dual-lens system solution has applied for a patent in March 2014. The patent, titled "Electronic device with two image sensors," details how the device uses cameras with two independent sensors to obtain clearer and more realistic images.
From the patent documents, it can be seen that Apple’s dual-lens system is indeed a revolutionary design. First, its two independent sensor cameras will be used to capture brightness data and color information respectively. The final imaging The data captured by the two sensors will be fused together, so that the photos obtained will be more realistic and clear. At the same time, the two sensors capture brightness and color information respectively, which not only improves the signal-to-noise ratio of electronic devices, but also eliminates optical filters. Color reproduction issues. And once these technical difficulties are overcome, there will be no problem that smartphones will replace SLRs.
There are recent rumors that Apple will first apply this revolutionary mobile phone camera solution to IPHONE7 in 2015, but industry insiders say that the complexity of the dual-lens system is comparable to the complexity of human eyes. There are still very big problems. The biggest problem is that the dual-lens system not only requires breakthroughs in hardware, but also involves complex cross-domain technologies and camera algorithms in software. For example, whether the depth of field information recorded by the dual cameras is enough, the relative position and absolute position must be kept within the acceptable range of the algorithm; fast focus is also based on the calculation of the depth of field. If the depth of field information is inaccurate, the focus time Errors will occur, resulting in failure to take pictures, etc. These become the difficulties of dual cameras. Therefore, some people predict that Apple may not be able to handle the dual-lens system in next year's iPhone7 era.
If the dual-lens system that even Apple can’t figure out actually appears on the Honor 6 PLUS released by Huawei Honor at the end of the year, then the Honor 6 PLUS can claim to be “defeat alone”, which is not bragging to the sky. .
But is Honor 6 PLUS really that powerful? This is indeed doubtful, but on November 23, Huawei Honor President Liu Jiangfeng revealed in a speech at Peking University that Huawei’s flagship model released in December will use the same RX technology as Apple’s IPHONE 7, which seems to imply that Huawei Honor has already figured it out. Dual lens system.
Fortunately, in less than a month, we can see that Huawei Honor is truly capable of "defeating alone"? Or are you using Apple to hype up your new phone?
