According to the information coming from Weibo tipster Classmateguan, Huawei Nova 11 has started testing with a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ chipset.

That’s not it, the tipster shared a render, which is photoshopped but reflects the intentions of the tipster to highlight key factors of the upcoming Nova devices.

According to the image, Huawei Nova 11 Pro could adopt a new pill shape hole punch design placed on the center head of the smartphone. As for now, Huawei has not used such a display design in smartphones.

This design went popular after it was originated in iPhone 14 series and later introduced in various Chinese devices. The wide punch hole is likely to use a dual camera system, one for selfies and another for the depth of field. Also, it could be utilized in the Pro model rather than the standard.

The phone is using flagship Snapdragon 8+ fully unlocked at high frequency, which could contribute to power consumption. Compared to this, Huawei Nova 10 series went on with Snapdragon 778 for Pro and non-Pro variants.

Furthermore, the camera desing has been rearranged, there is a large ring placed on the top, consisting of a main camera. It was followed by two cameras vertically including a periscope camera. To be mentioned, the camera design is cylindrical similar to the Nova 10 lineup.

As a new phone, Huawei will bring up XMAGE imaging technology with Nova 11 devices.

Huawei Nova 20 series:

Ahead of this, tipsters and past reports predicted the phone to be Huawei Nova 20 series but the company has not made any official announcement on this matter, we’ll keep you posted on this matter.

A person in charge of Huawei’s computing product section said that Huawei began to have a layout in the large model in 2020. In the following year, Huawei launched Pengcheng Pangu, which is a super-large model and the first of its kind in the industry.

This model can generate 100 billion levels of processes and can generate responses or understand Chinese natural language processing as well as speech recognition.

To be mentioned, Pangu NLP large model was the world’s largest Chinese language pre-training model with 100 billion parameters at that time. The sample tuning of the data improves the application performance of the model in the scenario.

Patent:

Recently, two patents have surfaced on China’s intellectual property office, which reveal Huawei’s use of AI in instant reply software. However, we can say that Huawei has already applied a lot of AI software to human conversation technology, which was way ahead of ChatGPT. But Huawei has not revealed any plans to implement such tech in Huawei devices.

ChatGPT:

ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, was identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s valuation was estimated at US$29 billion.

The post Huawei is an advance player in technology such as ChatGPT: Chief appeared first on Huawei Central.

He said these Huawei devices can establish an easy and fast connection between them without requiring them to use of a third-party service. As compared to last year’s market sales, we can see that from Q1 to Q3 in 2022, the market share of Huawei’s notebooks will increase by 120%, and Huawei’s tablet ranks first in China’s tablet market. The overall market share is second.”

Adding to this, Gu Zhili, Senior Director of Huawei Smart Office Solutions, also explained the development of smart office technology at the communication meeting.

With the diversification of office equipment and scenarios, Huawei has released mobile application engines, super device, and other technologies, relying on HarmonyOS distributed technologies such as distributed soft bus, distributed data management, and distributed task scheduling, to bring new interactions to users’ experience.

For example, the smartphone mobile engine and PC app engine utilizes the HarmonyOS virtualization technology. It enables users to run the same app on different platforms.

The content that the user is editing on the notebook can be seamlessly continued on the tablet. While the news is browsed on the mobile phone, You can also continue to read on the tablet with just one tap.

Furthermore, Dr. Zhen Haitao, Huawei Devices BG PC Architecture System Scientist and Chief Architect sorted out Huawei’s six core technical standards in the field of tablet PCs: aesthetics, display, connection, interaction, performance, and audio.

Achievements:

Looking at the design, Huawei narrowed the PCB of the camera module to 2.25mm and developed distributed antenna and phase control technology to overcome the problem of narrow frame materials and further narrow the screen frame.

Huawei pioneered display with a multi-screen same-color technology solution. Through the latest CIE2015 standard combined with a self-developed 3D lut algorithm and self-developed color management software, it solved the problem of consistent color rendering across screens.

The user interaction part of highly maintained by Huawei using connection, performance, and audio by introducing technologies such as the Free touch global touchpad, the Metaline antenna, and the Huawei shark fin cooling system.

The latest revealings come at the “Hyper-convergence +” strategy and new product launch conference held on February 8, 2023. According to the information, the Huawei Blue Whale app store is related to Huwaei FusionCube hyper-converged and computing storage as a smartphone and connects the devices.

It supports one-click deployment and daily operation as well as maintenance of partner companies’ apps to ensure access for all partners. According to the inputs, Huawei Blue Whale App Store has three top-grade features, fast app availability, app smartphone operation, and effective maintenance.

The custom deployment template of the Huawei Blue Whale App Store allows the virtualization specifications of the application, the dependencies of the application software package, and more.

It can be defined in advance so that it only takes 1 step and 1 parameter to deploy the application, and it takes 1 hour It can be completed, greatly improving the deployment efficiency of the business system. The batch launch of multiple applications in one solution can also be completed through custom orchestration components.

By integrating applications and IT infrastructure through the Huawei Blue Whale App Store, you can use only one set of software to complete the full-stack management of the entire business system.

For example, through the full-stack topology view, you can identify the specific node of the system failure at a glance.

At the same time, the platform also supports cloud intelligent operation and maintenance and mobile phone remote operation and maintenance. Once a problem occurs in the system, the relevant alarm information can be received in real-time on the smartphone to help service personnel quickly solve the problem and ensure efficient, continuous, and stable operation of the system.

Based on the deep integration of enterprise applications and IT infrastructure, Huawei Blue App Store defines 12 acceptance indicators to ensure the delivery quality of application solutions. Huawei’s Blue Whale app store has settled in 50+ mainstream applications in various industries, and it is expected that more than 120+ mainstream applications will be launched in 2023.

It is revealed that Hyper-convergence is an emerging technical architecture that manages storage, computing, and network resources distributed on each device in a unified manner, and at the same time realizes intelligent operation and maintenance of resources through a tool platform.

This technology has become one of the mainstream construction modes of data centers. Hyper-converged products have four major advantages:

• Storage Architecture – The biggest difference between hyper-converged architecture and the traditional architecture is that the storage architecture is different. The traditional architecture uses centralized storage, while the hyper-converged architecture uses distributed storage. Distributed storage is faster than centralized storage, and the hyper-converged dual-copy mechanism also makes data storage safer.
• In terms of integration – the hyper-converged architecture is a highly integrated computing, network, and storage integration. The traditional architecture is separately scheduled and managed.
• In terms of scalability – hyper-converged architecture is a building block construction, which can be expanded linearly and quickly on demand. Traditional storage expansion is difficult, and there is an IO bottleneck.
• Product price – about 30-60% of the cost can be saved.
