Huawei launches P50 series amid US supply ban, but without 5G
华为P50系列发布，为什么全系4G而非5G？
Huawei launched its long-anticipated P50 handset series during an online event on Thursday evening, pre-loaded with the self-developed HarmonyOS software platform. It’s the Chinese firm’s first mobile series to be offered without Android or Google services amid the US ban.
However, the company said the new P50 series will not be equipped with 5G technology, a major setback and a sign of the difficulty it’s facing due to US government supplies ban.
Although the series won’t provide 5G, Huawei said “users with 4G+WiFi6+AI technology can still get better power consumption and communication performance experience.”
As of Thursday, more than 40 million Huawei users had switched to the HarmonyOS software system, which means there are eight end users doing so every second, Yu Chengdong, chief executive of the company’s consumer business group, said during the online launch event.
7月29日晚19点30分，华为举行了旗舰新品-P50系列的发布会，在这次发布会中，我们见证了P50系列的发布，些许惊讶地发现P50全系竟然均采用的是4G全网通，而并非在发布前，许多人所期望的5G全网通，尽管华为在发布会上的大屏上已经标注“由于美国的限制”，但我们许多人仍然有很大的疑问，毕竟采用麒麟9000的部分机型也是4G版。原因是什么呢？
首先采用骁龙888的机型之所以是4G而非5G，这个原因是众所周知的，即美国允许高通给华为供货4G芯片，而禁止高通供货5G芯片给华为。
其次，为何采用麒麟9000的机型也均是4G机型呢？笔者认为，尽管华为在5G领域的专利数占到15.4%，位居世界第一位，但第二到第五位分别被韩国的三星、瑞典的诺基亚、美国的高通以及韩国的LG占据，这些公司不是美国公司就是实质上被美国控制的公司，肯定是严格遵守美国的禁令的，华为的5G手机或多或少地会用到这些公司的相关专利，随着美国对华为5G的限制不断深入，华为在做5G手机时，相关技术的应用越来越受限。最终的结果便是华为新品手机并非大家所期待的5G手机。
