How to realize Android mobile "flying in the sky"? Need a "ladder" like the GPU Turbo

In the Android phone industry, there has been a legend: all the parameters displayed in the release of the configuration, in the new machine to get the hands of a 70 percent, after the use of a year, but also to play a 50 percent.

Although some of the metaphysical flavor, but also very close to the reality of the situation. Manufacturers clearly do not shrink on the hardware, but the use of experience is completely not so.

The reason for this is to blame the natural nature of the Android system. Compared to Apple's ecological hardware and software one-to-one high-level, the open and freedom of the Android ecosystem can accommodate a variety of performance of the hardware mix, this openness to contain a large number of low-quality and low-matched mobile phones, but also because of fragmentation problems, to a certain extent limited the performance of many mobile phones. So there will be claims that the biggest enemy of the iphone is the Android phone, Android phone's biggest enemy is the Android system.

So in the recent glory of the "scary Technology" on the Glory play, most people are skeptical-how hard the handset makers are, and how the Android system itself is limiting itself to "scary" technology?

The strongest hole in hardware and software co-optimization: How to use software to improve performance

Because of fragmentation of the system, the application of ecological confusion and so on, the hardware performance of the Android phone is more limited than the Android system. Like a very eccentric teacher, no matter how you test results, you always have to deduct a 15% of the usual results. But for consumers, the experience is always the ultimate "total score". Therefore, in order to offset the 15%, the Android manufacturers can only as much as possible to improve the test results.

The way to improve your test results is to improve your hardware capabilities. As a result, Android manufacturers are starting to have a common stack of hardware that boosts memory to 6G or even 8G, while mid-and low-end lines also have 4G.

This form exposes a lot of drawbacks, such as the rising of hardware thresholds will greatly increase the cost of manufacturers, and even make the manufacturers into the hardware piling competition. At the same time, the hardware innovation is also beginning to slow down, recently the manufacturers in the AI chip, camera improvements brought about by the result is increased costs, can only be applied to the high-end and flagship models above.

In recent years, China's domestic handset manufacturers, represented by Huawei and glory, are making improvements to the Android ecosystem through deep optimization of the underlying system, strict control of their own application market, improved hardware capabilities, and so on, and the "scary Technology" on the first glory play is likely to be the strongest card for Android phones to cross Android's ecological limits.

How scary is the "turbo" that makes the glory play sky?

Now we know that the important reason why Android is not able to play hardware is that it fits the software and hardware. The scary Technology of honor play is also designed to change that.

Since the beginning of the popularity of smartphones, user demand for mobile phones has also changed. From Communications to AV Entertainment, mobile phone-hosted graphics operations are growing. Especially for the glory of the mobile phone brand for young people, users of large online games, AR/VR and other functions of the smoothness, clarity requirements are rising, but also hope that mobile phone prices as close as possible to the people. The scary technique is to honor the secret law of balance between the two needs.

It's a scary technology. The "scientific name", called the GPU Turbo, is essentially a technology that improves graphics processing efficiency and reduces power consumption through collaborative optimization of hardware and software, and is inspired by the turbo of the car.

In a mobile phone, the operation of the computation requires instruction transmission between the CPU and the GPU, but the transmission of such instructions is often not efficient. Like a car that does not have a turbocharged vehicle, it relies on pressure differentials inside and outside the cylinder to naturally attract air, and this inefficient mode naturally leads to insufficient oxygen and inadequate combustion. However, after adding the turbine, it is possible to compress the air to increase the oxygen content and actively inhale the air supply for combustion.

The scary technology is to improve the efficiency of instruction transmission between CPU and GPU by Emui in software, and finally improve graphics processing efficiency without changing hardware conditions.

How scary is the technology to add a turbo to the bottom system of the phone? The data from the Glory play shows that after the GPU turbo is added, graphics processing is 60% more efficient, while SOC power consumption is reduced by 30%. Play on the Glory play, many of the most popular games have reached full frame, such as "through the FireWire" frame number increased by 12 frames. In the game running, the number of frames represents the number of images that can be loaded per second, and the increase in the number of frames will not only make the game more interactive and smooth, but also improve the rendering effect. And in a better game effect, you can reduce power consumption, increase the duration of the game and reduce the heat situation.

In this way, whether it is the game or AR, VR, including the image of the high demand for the app, and so on, can be improved through the very scary technology. This is the difference between "flying in the Sky" and "underground Running", as Yu Chengdong mentioned.

Ladder building: What are the scary technologies that will shorten the ascent path for Android?

It is noteworthy that the Huawei-led technology upgrade, not only for the Glory play and the successor of the new machine, but almost for Huawei, glory two brands of the full line of products, such as the Huawei Nova 2S, through this very scary technology, can also be extremely high game frame performance.

This change may radically change the way the competition between Android companies is competing.

In the past, Android manufacturers have been very sensitive to all changes in mobile phone hardware, large screen, curved screen, double camera, industrial design ... Changes in these hardware elements often lead to a trend of trends among vendors.

And this time can be applied to all the products in the network "Heaven" technology, the launch of the Android ecosystem hardware and software collaborative optimization precedent. At present, the two years of hardware improvements have gradually reached the ceiling. Chip from 10nm to 7NM, NPU in the further promotion of deep learning plus the camera function, almost all can be predicted to evolutionary path. At this point, mobile phone manufacturers to make a difference, must improve the ability of the underlying software.

Now Huawei, the glory of two manufacturers to do this, almost made a "open-hanging" progress-the Android phone itself has a very strong hardware advantages, through hardware and software collaboration to better play out the hardware capabilities, and can even help many old models "brace". Since then, Huawei and the glory of the hardware reserve capacity will be more layered burst out, so that nearly two years of products joined today's competition. As for the honor play, which is in itself a good performance model, but also because the first to carry a very scary technology to get the favor of the younger groups.

From the very scary technology, perhaps the competition between Android will start xxx into the software, the bottom of the innovation, have the ability to touch the bottom of the change of the manufacturers to maximize the use of hardware advantages, and the lack of this ability of manufacturers, can only continue to struggle at the hardware level. Combined with the development of mobile phone applications for graphics computing requirements, and the combination of future and AI capabilities, can create a breakthrough in the current imagination of the application scenario.

The combination of chip capabilities and the ability to integrate the underlying systems builds up the threshold and builds up the ladder. Manufacturers with these capabilities have been "in the sky" through scary technologies, and firms that lack this capability are being isolated. It is believed that the trend will become more and more evident with the increasing number of hardware and software co-optimization made by Android manufacturers. In the future, the competition between handset manufacturers is likely to be the "immortal war" of the manufacturers who have the ability of heaven, and thus cut off the rising paths that can only be piled up by hardware manufacturers.
