Huawei's latest smartphone "5G → 4g" The shock "P50 Series" is equipped with Quarcom SOC

Huawei Technologies announced the new smartphone flagship model "P50 Series" (photo from the company's website) announced the new model "P50 series". Until now, the company has unveiled the latest models of its two major flagships, the P series and Mate series, every spring and autumn. However, due to the effects of sanctions by the US government, the announcement of the P50 series scheduled for the spring of 2021 was postponed, and the corresponding communication standard was forced to downgrade from 5G (5th generation mobile communication) to 4G.

There are two types of new models, the lower model P50 and the higher model P50 Pro. . On the other hand, the suggested retail price of the P50 Pro starts at 5,988 yuan (about 101,257 yen), which is 200 yuan (about 3382 yen) higher than the old model P40 Pro.

The P50 Pro was originally developed by Huawei at the time of its launch. Equipped with a 4G version of Kirin) 9000. However, after December 2021, the SoC will be switched to the 4G version of "Snapdragon 888" developed by Qualcomm, a major American semiconductor design company.

Due to the tightening of sanctions by the US government, it will be difficult for Huawei to procure cutting-edge semiconductors after September 15, 2020, and it will be limited to using the stock of chips stockpiled during the grace period of sanctions. We produce a certain amount of smartphones. The Kirin 9000, which the P50 Pro will initially be powered by, is the final generation of Huawei's proprietary SoC.

Is the number of shipments for the year less than 5 million? I have to. In addition, the reality is that the SoC that can be supplied is limited to 4G.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 is the latest SoC for smartphones announced by the company in December 2020. The 5G version has already been installed in the latest models of Chinese smartphone giants such as Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo.

Sui Qian, an analyst at research firm Strategy Analytics, said that the P50 series will not reach 5 million units shipped in 2021, considering the delay in the announcement and the fact that it is a 4G model. I expect. By the way, the successive P series has never shipped less than 10 million units in the year it was announced.
