Fans familiar with Xiao Zhi know that my requirements for smartphones may differ from many young people today, who pursue extreme performance, powerful photography, and larger memory combinations. For me, the most important needs in a smartphone are eye protection and battery life. I have always believed that a smartphone is not just for gaming, but rather a comprehensive daily assistant.
Therefore, regarding performance, memory combinations, and photography experiences, I think as long as they are acceptable, it is fine. Even when pursuing these features, eye protection and battery life are extremely important, as prolonged smartphone use necessitates achieving eye health, while battery life is the foundation for experiencing all the phone’s functions.
Fortunately, battery life is no longer a concern, with various large battery smartphones available, and soon there will be new models with batteries exceeding 10,000 mAh. However, I was quite pessimistic about eye protection recently, stating that 2025 would be the year of the complete decline of LCD smartphones, as Honor and Motorola have fully transitioned their LCD series to OLED screens. Only the “blue factory”
— namely vivo and iQOO — has launched new LCD models Y300T and Z10X. Although these two models are essentially rebranded devices, they are commendable in various aspects, including competitive pricing. The problem is that many LCD enthusiasts are not looking for such low-end devices, but rather high-end LCD smartphones.
However, even major manufacturers of low-end LCD smartphones are reluctant to produce them, and mid-to-high-end LCD smartphones seem to be out of the question. But recently, I discovered a Bilibili account named “Xiao Hu Mobile Official” that suddenly released a video claiming to create a true flagship LCD smartphone. The promotional video looked quite impressive and immediately caught my attention. This device features a custom high-refresh-rate LCD screen.
It supports full DC dimming and hardware low blue light, maximizing its eye protection attributes. In terms of the critical processor, this device uses the previous generation MediaTek flagship Dimensity 9300+, which competes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3. This chip meets the smoothness required for all mainstream large games and daily use.
In terms of specific parameters, it features a 6.6-inch BOE custom 120Hz LCD screen, a 6000 mAh large battery with 67W fast charging, and a maximum memory combination of 16GB + 1TB. The overall design resembles that of the Apple Pro, with a centered dual punch-hole screen and relatively rounded edges, though the material is unknown, and the pricing has not been announced. I checked the comments from netizens, and they are very excited, with many expressing that this device will definitely sell out upon release. What do you think about this suddenly emerging flagship LCD smartphone from Xiao Hu? Is it promising?
