Editor's Note: The smartphone market competition is fierce in China, India, and Europe and the United States. Chinese manufacturers' catch-up situation is more clear this year. Apple is not willing to be obsessed with the market share of Chinese manufacturers. The news of the iPhone 8 and other mobile phones that will be launched in the second half of the year is particularly concerned. In addition, Samsung recruits talents in the GPU field and is committed to research and development.
The latest report from IDC, an international research organization, shows that Chinese manufacturers continue to dominate the Indian smartphone market. In the first quarter of 2017, Chinese manufacturers accounted for 51.4% of the Indian smartphone market, up 16.9% from the previous month and up 142.6% year-on-year. In contrast, the market share of local Indian manufacturers fell from 40.5% in the first quarter of 2016 to 13.5% in the first quarter of 2017. In the Indian market, Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi occupy a major market share.
According to foreign media reports such as AppleInsider, Apple will launch three smart phones this year. In addition to the ten-year version, the other two will be a natural upgrade of the two mobile phones last year. It is expected that Apple will upgrade the internal components with minor repairs. The appearance, size and models of last year and the past two or three years will remain basically unchanged.
The mold picture shows that the 10-year version of the phone is between 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch phones.
At present, the screen size of this new phone is still unknown. It is reported that Apple's final display area is 5.2 inches. In addition, the screen ratio of the mobile phone will be greatly increased than before, so even if the size of the front panel of the mobile phone becomes smaller, the display screen area will increase.
The mold map shows that the back of the 10-year mobile phone will use a dual camera vertical distribution mode.
In addition, in a key innovation, there are many different opinions in the industry. According to reports, Apple is preparing to integrate fingerprint recognition into the OLED screen, but it has encountered technical problems, which may lead to production delay. As a backup plan, Apple may also learn most mobile phone manufacturers in the industry to place fingerprint recognition on the back of the mobile phone.
Samsung Electronics was also prepared to integrate fingerprint recognition on the S8 screen, but it also suffered technical difficulties, so it was placed on the back of the phone. Samsung Electronics also introduced iris recognition and face recognition, providing an excellent user experience.
Since Apple can't purchase enough OLED displays, only 10 years of this year's three mobile phones use OLED screens for the first time. The other two mobile phones use LCD screens. Next year or next year, all Apple phones will switch to OLED. The screen, this screen quality is better, more power-saving, can improve the battery life, and endurance is the weakness of Apple's mobile phone.
Wall Street analysts expect that the 10-year mobile phone will make Apple's iPhone a super-upgrade cycle this year. The rest of Apple's work is to ensure that mass production is normal, the product has no technical defects, and that all innovative features can be used normally.
Samsung ranked seventh in the mainland smart phone market in the first quarter, with a market share of 4.8%. The total global shipments of the Galaxy S8 have so far exceeded 10 million units, but it remains to be seen whether Samsung can increase shipments of the Galaxy S8 in the Mainland.
