Huawei denies everything The Bloomberg resource published a large article describing how the Chinese government in various ways helps Huawei not only stay afloat under US sanctions, but also actively develop. [caption id="attachment_85236" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei[/caption] For example, journalists discovered a network of enterprises supported by an investment fund of the Shenzhen city government, the purpose of which is to help Huawei create a self-sufficient chip network. The group includes companies specializing in optics, developers of equipment for the production of semiconductors, and even manufacturers of chemical products. China is also sponsoring a $30 billion project to help Huawei build its own chip factories. [caption id="attachment_85237" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei[/caption] The Chinese government actively supports and subsidizes Huawei At the center of the network of state-owned enterprises that are assisting Huawei is an investment fund run by the Shenzhen municipal government. The Shenzhen Major Industry Investment Group fund itself was created in 2019 after the first US sanctions and received direct instructions to support China's chip production efforts and, in particular, Huawei. Separately, Bloomberg says that the Chinese government actually forced the announcement of the Mate 60 Pro smartphone ahead of schedule because it wanted to time the announcement to coincide with the visit of US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to the country. In general, the government actively subsidizes Huawei. According to SemiAnalysis analysts, the scale of subsidies is huge They will build apartment buildings, help with land and will not charge income taxes It is important to note that Huawei denies government assistance, saying that this is all speculation and speculation based on information on the Internet.

Up to 100 million smartphones in 2024 Due to high demand for the Mate 60 series, Huawei has set its smartphone shipment target at 100 million units next year. This is 40% more than the company planned before the release of the Mate 60 series. Lucas Zhong, an analyst at Canalys, confirmed that Huawei's new Mate 60 series products have "disrupted the market" and allowed the company to become competitive again in its home market. Previously, many analyst firms predicted that Huawei mobile phone shipments would reach approximately 70 million units next year. According to reports, Huawei's smartphone shipments this year are expected to reach 40 million to 50 million units, up 30% to 70% from last year. The Mate 60 series will ship around 20 million units. Huawei Mate 60 smartphones “blew up the market.” [caption id="attachment_77832" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60[/caption] Tianfeng International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously stated that starting in 2024, all new Huawei models will use new self-developed Kirin processors, and by that time Qualcomm will completely lose Huawei as a customer. According to previous reports, Huawei is clearing out its inventory of older models and preparing to change its product lineup. Huawei is expected to launch several new smartphones in different categories between the end of this year and the beginning of next year.

32 companies were included in the list The release of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro smartphone attracted a large number of buyers in China. That sent shares of various companies surging, raising the combined value of Huawei's 32 suppliers tracked by Bloomberg to about $34 billion. "Huawei has become one of the few bright spots in both the market, boosting people's confidence in the country's prospects," said Cheng Hao, fund manager at Zhejiang Feiluo Asset Management. [caption id="attachment_70061" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60 Pro[/caption] US trade restrictions have limited Huawei's access to technology, slashing sales and dealing a major blow to its smartphone business. Meanwhile, domestically, Huawei continued to receive strong government support. The Mate 60 Pro, based on domestic high-tech semiconductor, is being lauded as a "triumphant return to the mobile phone market, enhancing national pride for the company." The phone is powered by the new Kirin 9000s chip, which was manufactured in China by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC). According to media reports, this processor is the first to use SMIC's cutting-edge 7nm technology, suggesting that Beijing has made some progress in its efforts to create a domestic chip ecosystem. As we previously reported, sales of the iPhone 15 series within 17 days of its launch in China fell by 4.5% compared to the iPhone 14 series launched in 2022. The reason mainly lies in the success of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro series. Counterpoint estimates that Huawei will sell between 5 and 6 million Mate 60 Pro units in China this year alone.

Data from different companies Data from research firm Counterpoint Research showed that sales of the iPhone 15 series fell 4.5% in China within 17 days of its launch compared to the iPhone 14 series launched in 2022. The reason mainly lies in the success of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro series. Counterpoint estimates that Huawei will sell between 5 and 6 million Mate 60 Pro units in China this year alone. Jefferies Securities analysts led by Edison Lee wrote that thanks to the surprise debut of Huawei's new model, its market sales have now surpassed Apple's to become number one. iPhone 15 sales have dropped significantly, and the decline could reach double digits. iPhone 15 sales have collapsed, and the Chinese are choosing the Huawei Mate 60 Pro [caption id="attachment_69952" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60 Pro[/caption] Research organization CINNO Research previously predicted that Apple's mobile phone sales in the Chinese smartphone market could reach 45.5 million units in 2023, down 2% from last year. Compared to the previous generation iPhone 14 series, sales of the new series will drop by 22% over the same period, or 2.9 million units. According to TrendForce estimates, the production share of the iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to rise to more than 60%. Total iPhone production for the full year is estimated to be between 220 million and 225 million units, marking a decline of about 5% year over year.

The smartphone offers ample opportunities for photos and videos User @geniusphotographyeye shared a video demonstrating the telephoto capabilities of the flagship smartphone Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ using a mosquito as an example. The 48-megapixel camera with a telephoto lens on the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ can be used for macro photography. [caption id="attachment_69343" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Huawei Mate 60 Pro+[/caption] The capabilities of Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ were shown when filming a mosquito at work The Huawei Mate 60 Pro and Mate 60 Pro+, released this year, feature the same 48-megapixel super-macro telephoto lens with F/3.0 aperture and optical image stabilization. It allows you to take macro photographs from a long distance without disturbing your subject. At the same time, the camera provides a high-quality background blur effect. Previously, we published a comparison of the flagship smartphones Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

This is simply a gigantic number because we are talking only about models of the same line The MyDrivers resource provided interesting statistics that show that Huawei smartphones of the Mate 60 line are not just a hit in their homeland - the Chinese are practically obsessed with them. [caption id="attachment_69263" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60[/caption] The Chinese are obsessed with the Huawei Mate 60 Thus, from August 29 to October 1, 1.694 million Mate 60 devices were activated, and now approximately 500 thousand new smartphones are activated weekly. That is, at the current moment the number of activated devices is approaching 2.7 million units, and probably even more have been sold. It turns out that about 2 million smartphones of the Huawei Mate 60 line are sold per month. Probably, hot cakes in winter are not sold out as readily as the Mate 60 in China. By the way, the level of activations of the Mate 60 is comparable to the level of activations of the iPhone 15. Thus, in the first two weeks of sales, that is, during the “hottest time,” 1.549 million new iPhones were activated in China.

Samsung, on the contrary, has a 16% drop in shipments in the first half of 2023. Huawei is set to double its smartphone shipment target next year, two industry sources told Nikkei Asia. That is, the company expects to sell from 60 to 70 million smartphones. This decision is due to the success of the Mate 60 line - the devices are selling like hotcakes in China. [caption id="attachment_64858" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60[/caption] Huawei will double its smartphone shipments following the success of the Mate 60 Nikkei Asia, citing numerous industry sources, reports that Huawei has already begun to implement its plans: the company is actively purchasing various components - lenses, camera sensors, circuit boards - to ensure uninterrupted production of smartphones. Of course, to overtake Samsung smartphones in supplies, you need to increase production plans not by two times, but by five, but the Koreans themselves can help here: an unclear policy regarding new models led to the fact that deliveries of Samsung devices in the first half of this year decreased by 16 %. The company expected to deliver 136 million smartphones to the market but delivered 114 million. If Samsung’s delivery schedule continues to fall, and Huawei’s schedule continues to rise, then in the next few years the lines will cross.

Questions remain about photographing the Moon with smartphones Mydrivers published a comparison of the latest flagship smartphones Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which were released just a few days ago. They were compared when photographing the Moon. [caption id="attachment_61756" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60 RS and iPhone 15 Pro Max[/caption] Readers on Weibo believe that in terms of detail and clarity, the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design takes the lead in this comparison. Some write that Huawei’s flagship has gone “far ahead.” Last January, Huawei received a patent for a “method and electronic equipment for photographing the Moon.” The patent summary shows that this method automatically recognizes the Moon in the preview interface and then enters a special mode. Autofocus allows you to display a clear image of the moon in the preview interface. Multiple images of the Moon are then collected at different exposure settings to create a final image that includes a clear, bright background and an equally clear Moon. Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design and iPhone 15 Pro Max compared when shooting the Moon According to Huawei, this method can capture a “crystal clear and beautiful moon in normal shooting mode by non-professional users.” There will always be questions about how smartphones take pictures of the Moon after the story of how the Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to take a beautiful photo while photographing a very highly compressed photo. You will find a large number of comparative photographs and videos taken on the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design and iPhone 15 Pro Max in the following video. https://youtu.be/SEIu7EVbapk Readers in the comments agree that the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design comes out on top in most scenarios.

People are not even afraid of the cost of $ 1,640 (and this is the price of the basic version, the top version is even more expensive - $1,780). The flagship Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design in just a couple of days [caption id="attachment_60390" align="aligncenter" width="592"] Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate[/caption] Even Apple and Samsung can envy such success: yes, the flagships of these companies also sell in large quantities at the start of sales, but as a rule, sales begin simultaneously in many countries, while in the case of Huawei, sales are limited exclusively to China. And it’s not a fact that the Mate 60 line will appear in any other country.

Huawei showered compliments on this model At a big event taking place right now in China, Huawei officially unveiled the flagship of the Mate 60 line - the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design smartphone. The premiere turned out to be strange: the ambassador of the new model and the Ultimate Design brand, Hong Kong singer, film actor, and producer Andy Lau, spoke from the stage for about 15 minutes without saying anything about the characteristics of the model. [caption id="attachment_59692" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60 RS[/caption] [caption id="attachment_59695" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Huawei Mate 60 RS[/caption] [caption id="attachment_59696" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Huawei Mate 60 RS[/caption] [caption id="attachment_59697" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Huawei Mate 60 RS[/caption] Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design presented Huawei itself is full of compliments for this model: the company points to the “maximum aesthetics, highest craftsmanship, and innovation” of the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design. The device differs from the usual Mate 60 in the design of the rear panel, and what attracts attention here is primarily the octagonal main camera unit, characteristic of the previous Mate RS Porsche Design flagships. But there is no more Porsche - there is Ultimate. [caption id="attachment_59698" align="aligncenter" width="454"] Huawei Mate 60 RS[/caption] If the appearance of the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design is truly unique, then in terms of characteristics it is no different from the Mate 60 Pro+: it has a 120 Hz OLED screen with a diagonal of 6.82 inches and a resolution of 1.5K, tempered glass Kunlun 2, Harmony OS OS 4.0, Kirin 9000s single-chip system, 5000 mAh battery with support for 80 W wired charging and 50 W wireless charging, main camera with 48, 40 and 48 MP resolution sensors. Memory capacities: 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of flash memory. The cost of the new item will be approximately $1,400.

Details about the technology According to a post on Huawei's official website, the new Huawei Mate 60 series smartphones support StarLight connection technology. This technology is related to the hardware capabilities of the devices. Other Huawei models do not support this feature even if they are updated to HarmonyOS 4.0. In addition, Huawei stated that FreeBuds Pro 3 is the world's first Bluetooth headset to use StarLight core connectivity technology. Based on StarLight polar code technology, the anti-interference ability of signal transmission is increased by 2 times. When used with new smartphones, the headphones provide the industry's first lossless data transfer at 1.5 Mbps. [caption id="attachment_59675" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei Mate 60c[/caption] Only the Huawei Mate 60 supports StarLight connection technology. Huawei also stated that phones supporting StarLight currently only support search and do not support discovery. That is, the mobile phone's StarLight settings interface can search for StarLight accessories, but cannot search for other StarLight phones. At HDC.Together2023 in August this year, Yu Chengdong said that compared with traditional wireless connections, StarLight's power consumption is reduced by up to 60%, data transmission speed is increased by 6 times, and latency is reduced to 1/30 s.

Externally, it is noticeably different from the Mate 60 Pro+ Yesterday, an image of the box of the flagship smartphone Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design appeared on the Internet, and now a photo of the device itself has arrived. Even more: the other picture shows a promotional image of the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design. [caption id="attachment_59553" align="aligncenter" width="454"] Huawei Mate 60[/caption] It is this model that crowns the Mate 60 line, and not the Mate 60 Pro+: the Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design will receive other, higher-quality finishing materials, and externally this model stands out with a characteristic octagonal camera block. The estimated cost of the flagship is 10 thousand yuan, which is approximately $1,370. This is what the real flagship of the Huawei Mate 60 line looks like [caption id="attachment_59554" align="aligncenter" width="450"] Huawei Mate 60[/caption] Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design will receive 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of flash memory. The rest of the characteristics will be the same as the Mate 60 Pro+: there will be a 6.82-inch OLED screen, 1.5K resolution, 120 Hz frame rate and Kunlun 2 tempered glass protection, Harmony OS 4.0, SoC Kirin 9000s, 5000 mAh battery h with support for wired charging with a power of 80 W and wireless charging with a power of 50 W, as well as a dual front camera and a main one with sensors with a resolution of 48, 40 and 48 megapixels.

But there are no questions about the protective glass The TechRax YouTube channel released a crash test of the iPhone 15 Pro smartphone. To test the device for durability, the author used a knife and a hammer. [caption id="attachment_59130" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 15 Pro[/caption] And it was the knife test that turned out to be the most difficult for the iPhone 15 Pro and a failure. The fact is that the newest titanium frame gets scratched very quickly even from light touches. And if you directly hit it with a knife, deep scratches remain. The author notes that the stainless steel frame in previous iPhones was much stronger. The “titanium” iPhone 15 Pro was tested using a knife and a hammer. [caption id="attachment_59131" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 15 Pro[/caption] The second test was with a hammer, and here the glass was hit hard. But, unlike the frame, everything here is predictable: the glass even withstood quite strong impacts. In the end, of course, it broke, but these were the blows with which nails are hammered; not a single protective smartphone glass can withstand this. https://youtu.be/szMJtBVpuMw What's the result? The reviewer believes that the iPhone 15 Pro is an excellent smartphone, but you just don’t need to carry it in your pocket with your keys: the delicate titanium frame shouldn't come into contact with sharp objects. Another option is to carry your smartphone in a case.

The company has improved its logistics Yesterday, September 10, the Huawei Mate 60 smartphone officially went on sale in China. Like its two big brothers, the Mate 60 Pro and Pro+, the standard version of the Mate 60 sold out almost immediately after it went on sale. Mydrivers notes that the first customers who placed pre-orders received their new smartphones on the same day. Huawei has done everything to significantly increase the speed of delivery of new smartphones. One buyer praised the company for this: “I received the phone in less than half a day after payment. Huawei has paid great attention to logistics." A second added: “Although I only recently [purchased] the Mate 50, I still bought the Mate 60, supported a domestic product.” Huawei Mate 60 was swept off the shelves immediately after the start of sales. [caption id="attachment_54511" align="aligncenter" width="604"] Huawei Mate 60[/caption] Compared to the Pro version, the standard version of Huawei Mate 60 received a 6.69-inch flat screen and lost the telephoto lens, and the satellite calling function was replaced by two-way messaging via satellite. Huawei Mate 60 is priced at about $830 in China, the smartphone has a 50-megapixel camera, a Kirin 9000S single-chip system, and full IP68 water protection. Some users who had already received the Huawei Mate 60 Pro rushed to check the satellite communication function on board the plane.
