At the early morning of August 12, Beijing time, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games came to an end. The Chinese delegation won a total of 91 medals (40 gold medals, 27 silver medals, and 24 bronze medals), tied with the United States for first place in the number of gold medals, setting a record for gold medals won in overseas Olympics. In the past half month, we have witnessed the creation of history by players such as Pan Zhanle, Zheng Qinwen, Wang Chuqin, and Sun Yingsha, as well as the regrets and unwillingness of players such as Yang Liu, Xie Zhenye, Shi Zhiyong, Zhang Boheng, and Xiao Ruoteng, and of course, the international Olympic spirit displayed by players such as He Bingjiao.
As this Olympic Games comes to an end, based on our intuition about digital products, we have also summarized the mobile phone models used by most of the champion athletes of the Chinese delegation based on the social platform Xiaowei. You can take a look.

When doing this inventory, the author found that most Olympic champions actually use iPhones, not just the latest iPhone 15 series, but also the previous iPhone 14 series and iPhone 13 series. Many champions are still using them, which shows the popularity of iPhone products. Moreover, as a global model, the iPhone is more convenient for champions to participate in the Olympics overseas, which is also one of the reasons why the iPhone is popular.
According to a list of the world’s top ten best-selling smartphones released by Counterpoint, the iPhone is far ahead in the list for the second quarter of 2024. Among them, the iPhone 15 topped the list with a market share of 4.1%, followed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 3.7%, and the third is the iPhone 15 Pro with 3.1%. Last year’s iPhone 14 was also particularly popular. Nowadays, the iPhone 16 series has also entered the countdown to its release. Under the trend of AI, this may become a new milestone product. According to the latest news, the iPhone 16 series will bring colorful colors, new designs, Apple Intelligence, and more.
Huawei P50 Pro
Synchronized Swimming Doubles Champion – Wang Qianyi
As a product of special significance in Huawei’s P series, the Huawei P50 series released in July 2021 took Huawei one year and three months to polish, which seriously exceeded the original product release cycle. The story behind it is self-evident. On the Huawei P50 Pro, we can see that the Kirin chip and Qualcomm Snapdragon chip are parallel. At the beginning of the release, the Kirin version of P50 Pro was available, and then only the Snapdragon version could be purchased. For the market, it is a bit regrettable, but this is also one of Huawei’s models that is very worthy of commemoration during the most difficult period.
For the P series, which excels in imaging, Huawei P50 Pro has launched XD Optics computational optics, which can solve some inherent defects of optical lenses, such as coma, spherical aberration, astigmatism and other problems, bringing revolutionary changes to the advancement of mobile phone photography. In terms of specific configuration, Huawei P50 Pro adopts a 50-megapixel quad-camera design on the rear. The four lenses are a 50-megapixel primary color (color) camera, a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera (supports up to 100x zoom), a 40-megapixel primary color (black and white) camera, and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The imaging quality is remarkable.
Huawei Mate60 Pro
Women’s weightlifting 59kg champion – Luo Shifang
Diving men’s 10m platform champion – Cao Yuan
As an important product of Huawei’s return to the smartphone market with Kirin, Huawei Mate60 Pro started with a pioneering plan that caught everyone off guard, and began a round of long-lasting and hot sales. At that time, Huawei Mate60 Pro was still hard to find after being on the market for several months, and the market was once in a state of price increase, which was very rare for a domestic high-end mobile phone. Huawei Mate60 Pro shows us Huawei’s tenacity and the inheritance of the Mate series. To this day, it is still a hot-selling high-end model.
Huawei Mate60 Pro supports satellite calls. Even without a terrestrial network, it can make and receive satellite calls. It can also freely edit and send satellite messages, and select multiple location information to generate a trajectory map. It is particularly noteworthy that it is equipped with a Kirin 9000S processor, and the download speed reaches 5G speed. Huawei positions it as a satellite mobile terminal, so it is natural that the system does not display a few G networks. Nowadays, the Huawei Mate70 series is also coming soon. The pure-blooded Hongmeng + new Kirin chip has already raised the heat to the maximum, and the smartphone market in the fourth quarter will usher in a melee.
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra
Women’s 500m double rowing champion – Xu Shixiao
In April this year, Huawei launched the Pioneer Plan for the Pura 70 series, and Huawei completed the upgrade from the P series to the Pura series. As a benchmark in the current mobile imaging field, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has shown us many imaging innovations. For example, Huawei introduced the super-focusing telescopic camera, which achieved the coexistence of a 1-inch large-bottom sensor and a thin and light body, raising the upper limit of the imaging flagship experience; the super-focusing imaging system combined with the XD Motion motion engine achieved an ultra-high-speed flash shooting function, which can capture sports moments at up to 300km/h.
Huawei Mate40 Pro
Women’s weightlifting 49kg champion – Hou Zhihui
As a product released in 2020, it has been nearly 4 years since then, but Huawei Mate40 Pro still has a very high retention rate in the market, and is called a generation of magic machine by consumers. One of its highlights is that it is equipped with the world’s first 5nm 5G SoC Kirin 9000, which represents Huawei’s attainments in chip design and 5G at that time. The Kirin 9000 has a maximum main frequency of 3.13GHz, the first 24-core Mali-G78 GPU cluster, the image processor performance is improved by 60%, and the NPU adopts a dual large core + micro core architecture, with a performance improvement of 100%. So far, the Mate40 Pro can be said to have created another group of nail households, and the upcoming Mate70 series may have the hope of breaking this situation.
iQOO 12
Men’s 500m double canoe champion – Liu Hao
As a product released at the end of last year, iQOO 12 has a very versatile performance and has become a favorite of many performance enthusiasts. It is the first batch of products equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8, and its performance is in the first echelon. The AnTuTu score has reached 2.15 million, which can easily cope with various games. Moreover, it is also equipped with iQOO’s self-developed e-sports chip Q1 on the Pro, which brings players a more immersive gaming experience. It is worth mentioning that the iQOO 12 series is also the designated machine for the KPL King of Glory Professional League and the 2023 Tencent Kaiwu Artificial Intelligence National Open.
Honor Magic V3
Gymnastics Men’s Parallel Bars Champion – Zou Jingyuan
In the content recently released by Zou Jingyuan, a Weibo post by the defending parallel bars champion that night revealed the model of the phone, which was Honor Magic V3. As the latest folding flagship launched by Honor, Magic V3 continues the strength of the previous generation and realizes the true “more powerful, thinner”. The thickness of the whole machine is reduced to 9.2mm and as light as 226g, which brings a good feel comparable to a straight-screen phone. In addition, it also brings functions including a 5150mAh third-generation Qinghai Lake battery, Honor Luban architecture, third-generation Snapdragon 8, Honor Hongyan communication, AI defocus, dry eye friendly, wireless charging, periscope telephoto and so on, which can be called a hexagonal warrior among folding screen mobile phones.
Huawei Mate40 RS Porsche Design + iPhone 15
Table tennis men’s singles champion – Fan Zhendong
Judging from the tail of Fan Zhendong’s Weibo post, he is a dual-device user. He has been using Huawei Mate40 RS Porsche Design, and sometimes switches to iPhone 15. Huawei Mate40 RS Porsche Design is a classic among classics. The design cleverly combines the iconic dynamic flying line design with the sculptural curved body, interpreting classic aesthetics with innovative technology and showing the future edge. Equipped with the new generation Kirin 9000 5G SoC flagship chip, the 5nm process technology makes the chip power consumption lower, the integration of 15 billion+ transistors makes the computing power stronger, and the third-generation 5G technology makes the download speed faster. The rear iconic crystal diamond design lens, equipped with the super-sensing Leica movie five-camera, and the dual telephoto have to be said to be far ahead.
vivo X Fold 3 Pro+iPhone
Men’s 50m rifle three positions champion – Liu Yukun
Liu Yukun is also a typical dual-device party. Most of his previous dynamics were sent from iPhone clients, but the device used for the latest dynamic is vivo X Fold 3 Pro, which is also the only one of the champions currently counted that uses a folding screen. The vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the culmination of vivo’s work in the field of folding screens. It is as light as 236g and as thin as 5.2mm when unfolded. It has an ultra-reliable armor feather structure, which is reliable enough regardless of the front or back. Moreover, it is also equipped with an equivalent 5700mAh blue ocean battery, and the DOU battery life reaches 2 days, which is the first echelon of battery life among current folding screen products.
OPPO Find X3
Shooting Men’s 10m Air Rifle Champion – Sheng Lihao
OPPO Find X3 is a flagship product released in 2021. It is also the first color imaging flagship that uses 10-bit throughout shooting, encoding, storage, decoding, and display. It is also the first flagship to adopt an integrated streamlined curved body design. The integrated “ring mountain” design at the lens makes the imaging system and the back cover one-piece without breakpoints. In terms of the imaging system, the OPPO Find X3 series is equipped with a 1 billion color dual main camera. Both the wide-angle main camera and the ultra-wide-angle camera use the IMX766 sensor, coupled with a 13-megapixel telephoto lens and a microscope lens that supports 60x magnification, ensuring that users can take good works in any scene. In addition, OPPO has teamed up with director Jiang Wen to create two different color filters. Jiang Wen Movie No. 1 brings warmth, while Jiang Wen Movie No. 2 brings a charming black and white film texture.
Under Sheng Lihao’s Weibo, OPPO officials also noticed that the champion was using their own old products, so they contacted Ganfan Ge at the speed of light and expressed their intention to give him a newly released OPPO Find X7 Ultra. We might as well look forward to the follow-up.
