WeChat has not adapted to Huawei so far, at the pure-blood Hongmeng press conference, Huawei thanked a series of Internet manufacturers, but there was no WeChat, which triggered a discussion between Huawei and WeChat.
Now the imminent situation is that the Huawei Mate 70 may be released around mid-October, but until then, whether WeChat can adapt is a very critical part.
According to the revelations of fixed focus digital, Huawei Mate70 can come as scheduled, depends on the progress of software adaptation, and the hardware has long been ready.
The so-called software adaptation progress, etc., or the progress of WeChat.
According to industry revelations, this time, Mate70 is at the hardware and system level, from the level of Internet of Everything, native intelligence, and native security, it can be said that it is fully prepared, and consumers can experience various new features of the pure-blooded Hongmeng complete body.
Judging from the Kirin chip that has attracted much attention, it is different from the half-generation upgrade of the Kirin 9010, this iteration and upgrade is larger, from the perspective of running scores, some bloggers predict that it is single-core 1300+, multi-core 4900+, gradually catching up with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and chip performance is returning to the first echelon.
Judging from the revelations, in terms of chip architecture, both the large and small cores of its CPU will use the new architecture. Including the L3 cache, it will also be pulled up to 8MB, and the system smoothness and game performance will be significantly improved.
According to the exposure of industry evaluation media, Huawei also came up with an innovative technology this time - combining GPU+NPU to effectively share the load and pressure of GPU to solve the problems of unstable game frame rate and high power consumption.
In addition, on HarmonyOS NEXT, players who are part of the original Huawei channel server will automatically transfer their game progress and assets after logging in. Mobile phones, PCs, car machines, TVs, and home appliances are all connected based on OpenHarmony.
In the face of such a major upgrade, without WeChat, it will be a major flaw and may become a stumbling block that will hinder the sales of the Mate70. Therefore, the negotiations between Huawei and WeChat may have to move forward as soon as possible.
Huawei does not dare to choose one or the other with WeChat, and many people underestimate WeChat
Because the importance of WeChat is undoubted, not only hardware manufacturers dare not choose one with WeChat, but also software manufacturers dare not choose one with WeChat. In the past3Q war, QQ and 360 chose one of the two, according to 360 Zhou Hongyi revealed afterwards, within one day, the forced uninstallation of 360 software users was as high as 60 million, Zhou Hongyi was shocked into a cold sweat, 360 was hanging by a thread at that time, fortunately, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology intervened in time to take the initiative to stop, otherwise the consequences of 360 would be unimaginable. Today, the importance of WeChat is far greater than that of QQ back then.
From the perspective of the role of WeChat in our lives and the scenarios we use, we will know that if we want to uninstall all APPs and keep only one software, the solution with the least impact on our lives is to keep WeChat.
In addition to the social connection between friends and relatives and the biggest rigid need for work, WeChat can almost meet all the rigid needs of clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment, life, leisure, access to content information, medical and social security payments, etc. Because most of the apps we just need, such as taxi, takeaway, e-commerce, travel, machine wine and high-speed rail ticket booking, living fee payment and other just need applications have WeChat mini programs.
On WeChat, the official account and video account can meet the content consumption needs of graphic information and short videos, social security services and various medical services, many of which have been transferred to WeChat to complete the operation. In fact, now people go to the hospital to see a doctor and register through WeChat, and for a large number of flexible employees, they basically pay social security through WeChat.
In general, WeChat can roughly meet more than 90% of the rigid needs, even if the mobile phone only has a WeChat, he can do a lot of things he wants to do in his work and life. None of the other software can do this.
So what happens if the newly bought phone can't use WeChat?
First of all, almost most of the work units now have the company's WeChat group, in today's work scene, you don't have WeChat, in the work scene will face a lot of trouble.
Even if you leave the company to find a home. You need to do flexible employment, such as driving online car-hailing and food delivery, you also need to collect accounts through WeChat, and you need to keep in touch with the platform or peers through WeChat.
For a large number of businessmen or enterprises, you need to talk about business through WeChat, accumulate contacts, keep in touch, and give up WeChat, which means that many of your business customers will be cut off, and communication with upstream and downstream suppliers and partners will also face troubles and problems, including a large number of business contacts and personal contacts between enterprises and customers.
Nowadays, many people do WeChat content entrepreneurship, and without WeChat, they will lose fans and lose part of their source of income. For parents with children, there is basically a parent group of the school, and you may miss out if you don't have WeChat, school notifications, and the child's situation and related information.
Living in the community, you also need to communicate with the property through WeChat, join the WeChat owner group to understand the situation of the community, and feedback some problems in the community to promote solutions.
It is impossible to imagine what kind of profession and in what state today, you can completely not rely on WeChat. It's not realistic to change all your business relationships, your social relationships, to communication, and everyone else is willing to do it.
Therefore, from the perspective of importance in life, WeChat may be more important to consumers.
Cooperation is the best choice, and Huawei Mate70 should not be released without adapting to WeChat
According to the revelations, this time Huawei Mate70 has actually returned to the first echelon in terms of chip performance, and pure-blooded Hongmeng can help Huawei mobile phones increase the performance of the whole machine by 30%, increase the connection speed by 3 times, and reduce power consumption by 20%. Will become Huawei's strongest flagship at present, and iPhone16The confrontation will have a lot to see, WeChat may also need to adapt as soon as possible, it is not appropriate to let such a flagship have shortcomings in software adaptation, Huawei as an important technology provider in the field of domestic chips, communication equipment, 5G, and ICT, the importance is self-evident. Hongmeng is also a completely independent operating system in China, which is also of great significance.
But if you go back to the demand level of mobile phone consumers, Huawei can be replaced, not only Huawei, but also any mobile phone manufacturer and WeChat can't choose either, and it is impossible for most users to give up WeChat.
Therefore, Huawei currently needs WeChat, far more than WeChat needs Huawei. From this point of view, Huawei Mate70 needs to be released on the premise of adapting to WeChat. Seriously, if Mate70 is equipped with a pure-blooded Hongmeng system, even if it is only adapted to one WeChat, other mainstream software is not adapted, it is better than no WeChat, but it is better to sell than to have other mainstream software.
Because of WeChat, I can already take Huawei's mobile phone out of the house alone, and other software can wait. If there is no WeChat, this mobile phone cannot be taken out alone, and it cannot become the main machine, but consumers can only buy it as a backup machine based on emotional support. This is the harsh reality.
Therefore, based on this reality, Huawei and WeChat try not to choose one of the two, which consumers do not want to see, some people suggest that Huawei make its own spare tire, and turn Changlian into a positive, because at the functional level, Huawei Changlian can completely replace WeChat, but the problem is that Huawei, as a company whose main business is hardware, also makes operating systems, and does social ecology, and it is unrealistic to do everything by itself. The ecology formed by WeChat today is not realistic to be replaced by functional replication in a short period of time.
Of course, more people believe that WeChat adapts to Hongmeng, it is a matter of time, Huawei needs to promote the progress of WeChat as soon as possible, and the existing problems and interests are negotiated as soon as possible, because this is the most critical problem between the Hongmeng ecosystem and Mate70, if you can't promote WeChat to launch the official version of Hongmeng in the fourth quarter, catch up with the Mate70 press conference, then it is recommended that Mate70 postpone the release, if you can't download WeChat after the new machine is listed, it will make Huawei's new machine unpopular and passive. Don't choose one or the other, it is what everyone is most willing to see, and win-win cooperation is the best choice for both parties.
