Two years ago, with the release of RongMagic, the exploration of artificial intelligence on mobile devices was opened, knocking on the door of AI in the mobile phone industry. Although the hardware at that time did not reach today's height, glory still tried to realize the artificial intelligence function by transforming the mobile phone system at that time. Time has passed, and today's mobile processors have made a qualitative leap in deep neural network learning compared with two years ago. After 684 days, 164 16 hours of waiting, what changes will glory Magic2 bring us? Let's look at the evaluation.
Butterfly five-track sliding screen structure+optical fingerprint in the screen
In recent two years, with the development of mobile phones, an unavoidable topic is the evolution of screens. People start from reducing the width of the frame around the screen, to the curved screen, and then to the "Liu Haiping", "Pearl screen" and other special-shaped screen cutting, in order to sacrifice part of the design in exchange for the proportion of the screen. Even the mechanical structure is added to the fuselage to solve the placement problem of the front camera and various sensors, thus opening up the "last mile" in the current comprehensive screen evolution.
As a future-oriented product, Glory Magic2 has also made an attempt to pursue 100% non-porous and unbounded full screen: butterfly five-track sliding screen structure.
In order to make the screen ratio as high as possible, Glory Magic2 adopts a mechanical sliding cover design, which hides the front camera and earpiece in the second half of the sliding cover screen structure, and leaves the whole screen in the first half, thus realizing the front without holes. At the same time, it effectively increases the screen ratio.
The slide screen structure of Glory Magic 2 adopts the original butterfly five-track slide screen structure, which integrates the compact five-section slide rail structure into the internal compact space, and the four-section slide rails are divided into upper and lower groups, which are nested with each other to form a double driving force structure, which not only ensures the high strength of the whole machine, but also makes the whole machine structure more closely coupled; At the same time, a miniature auxiliary slide rail is set in the head device area, which complements the double driving force structure, further ensuring the tight fit and smooth sliding experience of the whole machine.
In the sliding experience, the pure mechanical structure of Glory Magic2 is somewhat similar to that of ZIPPO lighter. With the exclusive sliding mechanical sound, every time you slide the screen to unlock the phone or call out the front camera, there is a sense of ritual in operation.
Based on this slider, Glory Magic2 also made a special setting: sliding the screen will bring up the Magic Live intelligent engine.
After sliding the screen, you can clearly see that the overall structure of Glory Magic2 has a "misplaced" design. The upper part of the screen is very thin, but the lower part is thicker and the fuselage part is thinner to make room for the screen. Because the optical fingerprint needs to encapsulate the fingerprint module with the organic light-emitting diode stack layer, the gap between the pixels of the organic light-emitting diode is used to scan the fingerprint and collect some key points of the fingerprint information to unlock it. Therefore, the "misplaced" design of Glory Magic2 not only makes the structure more complicated, but also makes room for optical fingerprints in the screen.
Glory Magic2 placed a 32.48mm2 super-large photosensitive screen fingerprint sensor at the bottom of the screen. The larger photosensitive area increases the touchable area of Glory Magic2 fingerprint, and the soft and hard collaborative algorithm improves the unlocking speed. The official claims that the fastest unlocking speed is 0.5S In the actual experience, the success rate and speed of fingerprint recognition of Glory Magic2 are really good.
Moreover, Glory Magic2 also has AI perception, which usually prompts the AOD animation in the fingerprint recognition area to be hidden. When the finger is suspended on the screen surface, AI perceives the action gesture and the unlocking animation will be displayed.
It can be seen from the butterfly five-track sliding screen structure and the optical fingerprint in the screen that the screen ratio of Glory Magic2 is as high as 9 1.5%, and there is no extra opening on the whole fuselage surface, so the design is more pure.
The front of Glory Magic2 adopts a 6.39-inch 19.5: 9 AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2340* 1080. The left and right borders 1.8mm, the upper border 2.9mm and the lower border 3.95mm are relatively good data in this year's AMOLED mobile phone.
Users who are familiar with Glory Magic must remember the eight-curved design of Glory Magic generation. The whole mobile phone was very round, which challenged the extremely high technical difficulty at that time. In the glory of Magic2, the design idea of a generation continues. The back shell adopts 3D curve, which makes the transition with the frame more natural, and the radian of R angle around the fuselage is more rounded.
The back shell of Glory Magic2 adopts gradient nano-scale vacuum coating process and evaporates in the form of atomic groups or ions. And deposited on the surface of the substrate through a film forming process to form a thin film. And accurately control the propagation path of light on each layer of coating, so that the light passes through the layers of nano-wave textured films to produce optical path changes, to reflect the texture of the mobile phone.
YOYO, an intelligent life body that has evolved for two years.
Two years ago, Glory Magic took the lead in trying the artificial intelligence of mobile phones, and completely transformed the EMUI at that time, bringing the Magic Live intelligent engine. Two years later, with the addition of NPU in mobile SoC and the evolution of the system, Glory brought a brand-new Magic UI 2.0 on Magic2. Different from the past, YOYO is a brand-new intelligent life. Unlike a voice assistant like Siri, YOYO has the abilities of cognition, learning, thinking and evolution, and integrates AI capabilities such as computer vision, natural semantic understanding, deep learning, decision-making system and recommendation system. At the press conference of Glory Magic2, it showed that its IQ was as high as 4,556 points, and it is currently the mobile artificial intelligence with the highest IQ.
For YOYO, fingerprint, voiceprint and 3D structured light facial information are the first steps for users to know YOYO. Glory Maigc2(3D bionic version) is equipped with 3D structured light technology independently developed by Huawei, equipped with dot matrix projector, two 2-megapixel infrared lenses and116 megapixel main camera. Firstly, the face is projected in dot matrix by a dot matrix projector, and then two infrared lenses are parallel to identify nearly 10,000 feature points of the face, thus realizing all-weather unlocking and safe payment.
Users can also wake up YOYO by voice. By recording the user's own exclusive voiceprint, YOYO can identify your voiceprint and execute your request. Thanks to the noise reduction technology of Glory Magic2, even in the disturbed voice environment, the ambient sound can still be distinguished by MIC noise reduction technology, and the user's voice can be accurately recognized. Moreover, when you are awakened in the process of games, videos, etc. YOYO will not interrupt these tasks and can continue to take orders.
Just like this, when you are driving, YOYO can automatically turn on the driving mode (by voice or connecting to the car Bluetooth), and will listen to the user's voice at any time during the whole process, avoiding the driver's manual operation of the mobile phone and avoiding potential safety hazards. At present, YOYO has built-in 20 wake-up free words such as navigation, music and communication. The user directly said that the mobile phone did it directly, without unnecessary actions. It is worth mentioning that YOYO can automatically help you read WeChat in the future.
Besides, YOYO is your health nutritionist. He can identify the most commonly used foods and tell you how many calories they contain. It is very helpful for girls who are in fitness control or losing weight.
Moreover, YOYO not only understands people, but also understands. Whether it is sports shoes or instant noodles, it can basically be accurately identified. Here is the purchase link.
Not only that, YOYO is your personal translator. YOYO can help you translate foreign language menus or complex foreign language newspapers.
Companionship is the longest confession. You can also increase the tacit understanding with your mobile phone by training YOYO. Tell YOYO in the voice interface: I will teach you XXX, and then train it how to execute your instructions. Currently, YOYO has supported more than 700 applications.
In addition, YOYO can also become a business housekeeper. When the mobile phone receives all kinds of things about travel, meetings, etc. It can automatically provide users with complete domestic and overseas travel reminders, and there will be notices before the flight takes off. It is also necessary to push the local weather forecast according to the destination address and plan the route to the airport.
YOYO can even judge what you want to say, and then give you the latest information at any time based on search engines. For example, when chatting with friends on WeChat, YOYO can read the conversation between you and your friends, intelligently analyze the conversation context, and provide quick reply options. When a friend asks you what to eat tonight, YOYO will recommend some good restaurants for you. When a friend asks you if you want to watch a movie together, YOYO will tell you what movies have been shown recently.
Of course, as an intelligent life, YOYO can do far more than that. YOYO can do simultaneous interpretation in the future. When talking to foreigners, you can enter the call translation in Glory Magic2. The system automatically selects the mother tongue, and the user selects the other language. YOYO can translate the conversation whether the other party is iPhone, landline or any other mobile phone. In addition, for female users, YOYO can also help you take care of your skin. Test your skin by eight most representative dimensions, such as fine lines, subcutaneous red areas, spots and pores, and provide tailor-made skin care suggestions. This function has also passed the certification of national professional organizations to help female users know themselves anytime and anywhere. But unfortunately, we still get the engineering machine, and these functions will not be experienced until the glory Magic2 goes on the market.
Kirin 980 strength geometry
Magic2 has such powerful performance because of the SoC of Kirin 980. It is said that glory Magic2 was basically finalized six months ago, and it is obvious that it will have to wait six months for Kirin 980.
The biggest highlight of Kirin 980' s specification is that it adopts 7nm process and integrates 6.9 billion transistors. According to TSMC's official statistics, compared with the previous generation flagship Kirin 970,980 adopting 10 nm process, the performance is improved by about 20%, the energy efficiency is improved by about 40%, and the logic circuit density is increased by 60%, that is, the original 1.6 times. As we all know, traditional chips follow Moore's law, increasing the number of transistors per unit area and improving chip performance. We already know that the core factors that determine the performance of a processor are mainly technology, architecture and so on. The more advanced the technology, the higher the fineness of the processor, and more transistors can be integrated. More importantly, the finer manufacturing process can also reduce the distance between components as much as possible and reduce power consumption. Especially for the current smart phone architecture, the increasingly "violent" architecture is more dependent on technology. At present, the chip manufacturing process generally stays at 10nm, and the 7nm process was once called "the process closest to the physical limit of silicon-based semiconductor process". Therefore, the 7nm process launched by Kirin 980 this time reflects the technological progress of Kirin.
In terms of performance, Cortex A76 can run at 3GHz under the latest 7nm process. Compared with the A73 used by the previous generation Kirin 970, the integer performance is improved by 90%, the floating-point performance is improved by 150%, and the comprehensive performance is improved by 80%. Although this comparison is not in the state of the same process and frequency, it can not fully reflect the performance of the new architecture. Therefore, we must look at the actual data applied to the chip. At the Kirin 980 conference, Huawei's official data said that compared with the previous generation Kirin 970, it increased by 75%, while the energy consumption increased by 58%. This also takes into account the balance between power consumption and heat generation brought by Kirin 980' s highest frequency of 2.6GHz.
This newly designed A76 CPU architecture consists of two super cores, two large cores and four small cores, and adopts DynamIQ scheduling technology. Compared with Big.little, DyanmIQ redefines the multi-core micro-architecture. The biggest feature of Dyanmiq is that the number of Cortex-A CPU in a cluster of Dyanmiq can range from single core to 8 cores, and it also supports mashups between heterogeneous CPUs. Therefore, in terms of scheduling, Kirin 980 can flexibly schedule different cores for different usage scenarios, with higher execution efficiency.
In graphics processing, Kirin 980 adopts Mali-G76 MP 10, and the main frequency is 720MHz. Compared with the previous generation, Mali-G76 has improved the performance of unit power consumption and unit area, the performance density has increased by 30% compared with the previous generation Mali-G72, the architecture efficiency has increased by 30%, and the machine learning processing capacity has increased by 2.7 times. Mali G76 adopts the latest Bifrost-based architecture. Compared with the previous midgrad architecture, Bifrost's biggest innovation lies in the use of instruction clause Shader. In addition, Bifrost architecture also adopts vectorization technology based on quadrilateral. Compared with the previous SIMD vectorization technology, quad vectorization technology can only execute one thread at a time and support four threads at most. * * * has exclusive control logic, and the utilization rate is close to 100%. Compared with G72, the performance density of G76 is increased by 30%, and the energy efficiency is increased by 20%.
Not only these basic performances, Kirin 980 is also the first in the world to adopt dual-core NPU to realize AI scenes such as face recognition, object recognition, object detection, image segmentation and intelligent translation, and adopts a deeper network with higher accuracy. Huawei officially said that Kirin 980 can recognize 4,500 images per minute, and the recognition speed is increased by 1.20% compared with the previous generation. The real-time frame rate of multi-person attitude estimation is as high as 30fps, which can realize real-time object tracking for photo preview. Compared with the first artificial smart phone chip Kirin 970, Kirin 980 has achieved a leap from image recognition to object detection.
Theoretically, this Kirin 980 has good performance. If the strongest Kirin chip is still suspected of "nonsense", we can say that this is the most undisputed Kirin 980 based on the flagship SoC.
We still remember that in the middle of this year, Huawei released a very scary technology "GPU Turbo". In Glory Magic2, Huawei brought an upgraded version of GPU Turbo 2.0. By optimizing the backbone network of high network, single-ended multipath and aggregation acceleration are realized. In the WIFI environment, the system will intelligently choose the path with shorter delay for users to play games, thus realizing network delay optimization. In addition, thanks to the dual-core NPU of Kirin 980, Glory Magic2 has achieved more accurate AI dynamic recognition. Intelligently learn the behaviors such as power consumption and load in the game scene, establish a more accurate SoC energy efficiency model, optimize resource allocation, and make a more accurate load forecast.
In the actual test, we tested "QQ Flying Car" and "Jedi Survival Stimulating Battlefield" respectively.
It can be seen that the game with changing scenes such as QQ Speeding requires real-time rendering by GPU, which has a certain test on the graphic performance of mobile phones. And the whole game experience, 60Fps (full frame) during the game. In addition, AI touch intelligent scheduling based on Kirin 980 has been significantly applied, which is positive for left-right drift and various key combination operations, and the whole game experience is very good.
For games that test performance such as eating chicken, Glory Magic2 can still run stably in almost the whole frame without fluctuation. The overall game experience is good. Of course, we are used to this kind of performance. After all, at the time of GPU Turbo 1.0, glory has already shown such performance.
AI dual-band GPS+40W fast charge
As the flagship of the year, Glory Magic2 also comes standard with AI dual-band GPS and 40W fast charging. It is worth mentioning that glory AI dual-frequency GPS is a Hi 1 103 chip independently developed, rather than directly integrating the existing resources of suppliers. It can also be seen that glory's attitude towards technology is rigorous and innovative.
GPS is the most commonly used function on our mobile phones. Taxi, navigation and WeChat location all need to be realized by mobile phone GPS. GPS positioning depends on the time of signal transmission from satellite to ground receiver to determine the specific location of mobile phone. Prior to this, mobile phones only supported (1575.42MHz)L 1 single frequency band. For single frequency GPS, there are two main factors that affect the positioning accuracy:
1. The ionosphere in the atmosphere is full of ions and electrons under the irradiation of the sun, so when the GPS signal passes through the ionosphere, it will be refracted, which will affect the transmission time and lead to positioning deviation. 2. Between dense buildings, the GPS signal directly transmitted by the mobile phone will be reflected. When multiple signals are superimposed and received by the mobile phone, the calculation accuracy of the distance between the satellite and the mobile phone will be reduced.
The GPS we used before is the conventional L 1 frequency band, while the dual-frequency GPS here is the L5 frequency band with 1 176.75MHz added to help positioning. Because the ionosphere has different effects on L 1 and L5 band signals, dual-frequency GPS equipment can eliminate the errors caused by ionosphere by comparing the time delays of the two signals through algorithms. Between tall buildings, because the bandwidth of L5-band GPS signal is 10 times that of L 1, the signal waveform of L5-band is narrow, and the direct and reflected signals are not easy to produce superposition effect, so the mobile phone can identify the direct signal more accurately. For an inappropriate example, we are familiar with dual-band routing and support 2.4GHz and 5GHz. When the 2.4GHz band becomes unstable, switch to the 5GHz band to ensure the stability of the network.
In addition, Glory Magic2 comes standard with 40W super fast charge. In the past two years, the power of fast charging has become higher and higher. At present, most smart phones are powered by 20W+, and as early as two years ago, Glory Magic 1 introduced a 5V8A fast charge with a maximum of 40W. This time, Glory Magic2 was changed to the fast charging specification of 10V/4A. Compared with the previous high voltage and low current, the high current and low voltage scheme of Glory Magic2 has smaller current loss and higher charging efficiency. And in the process of charging, because there is no need to do more voltage conversion, the temperature of the mobile phone will be lower when charging.
After our test, the actual test power of Glory Magic2 can reach up to 35W, and this conversion rate is already very good. The whole charge was completed in about an hour, and the result was very good.
Super wide-angle AI three-shot AI upgraded again.
Glory Magic2 is glory's first rear-mounted three-lens mobile phone. This three-camera module is also called "Super Wide-angle AI Three-camera", including: 24-megapixel black-and-white camera, f/1.8; 16 megapixel color camera, f/1.8; 160000 pixel super wide-angle camera, f/2.2 is equivalent to adding a super wide-angle lens to the glory 10 color+black and white dual-camera scheme.
The three cameras have their own division of labor: the 24 million main camera is mainly responsible for imaging, the black-and-white camera captures levels and details to improve the imaging quality of the main camera in night scenes and zoom scenes, and the super wide-angle lens is suitable for shooting vast and grand landscape scenes to accommodate more scenes.
It should be emphasized that this ultra-wide-angle lens added by Glory Magic2 has an equivalent focal length of 17mm, and has an ultra-wide-angle framing effect of 1 17, which is equivalent to nearly twice the field of view of a wide-angle lens of an ordinary mobile phone. The unique stretching feeling of the wide-angle lens makes the picture more expressive.
For example, this set of proofs, shot in the same position, glory Magic2 has more fields of view after opening the super wide-angle lens, and the limited frame accommodates more information. The buildings on both sides have obvious inward contraction, creating a unique visual effect. This is difficult to experience with the wide-angle lens of mobile phones in the past, which makes Magic2 more handy when shooting large scenes such as landscapes and buildings.
Based on the stronger AI computing power brought by software and hardware collaboration, Glory Magic2 further improves the automatic recognition ability of shooting scenes, and can recognize 60 kinds of tags, exceeding 1500 scenes.
Interestingly, unlike single intelligent scene recognition of other mobile phones, Glory Magic2 supports dual scene recognition, that is, more information can be recognized in the same scene, such as green plants and flowers, blue sky and flowers. This more accurate recognition enables Magic2 to segment the image content accurately, and then optimize the parameters respectively to improve the imaging effect.
Look at more proofs:
On the whole, the imaging of Glory Magic2 has certain characteristics. AI imaging is extremely friendly to ordinary users' daily shooting, and the film color is pleasing to the eye, which is more conducive to social communication. The newly added super wide-angle lens also enriches the coverage scene of mobile phone imaging and shoots more fashionable blockbusters.
Summary:
Back to the question raised at the beginning of the evaluation: the word "smart phone" has been called by the public for so many years, but how should a mobile phone be truly "smart"? Maybe it's not how fast the operation is, nor how complicated the function is, but that we can constantly learn and improve ourselves. This is the difference between "intelligence" and "automation" of artificial intelligence. "Automation" is just a feature of machines, and "thinking" is the real so-called artificial intelligence. So in Glory Magic2, YOYO is the absolute core. It's not how many functions it can give you now, but knowing that you like a partner and have the ability to think and learn. This is real intelligence. As the most popular intelligent terminal, smart phone has the closest connection with our life, which undoubtedly carries our expectation for the future intelligent life. Just like glory Magic knocked on the door of mobile phone AI two years ago, glory Magic2 and Do not forget your initiative mind, so as to achieve your ultimate goal two years later.
