智慧型手機定位精準度的突破

自從適地性的應用與智慧型手機整合後，位置的精準度受到僅具有單頻接收器晶片的限制。隨著小米Mi 8的上市，智慧型手機用戶可以透過公寸而不是公尺來確認他們的位置。雙頻接收器還提高了在城市地區的定位準確度，這通常是個問題，因為有高層建築物。這項創新為導航員提供了更新的效用，並為應用開發人員提供了一系列可能性。現在，一般的智慧型手機用戶可以擁有過去僅限制為專業設備使用的定位精準度。

A breakthrough in location accuracy for smartphones

Since the integration of location-based applications with smartphones, location accuracy has been limited by chips with only single-frequency receivers. With the placement of the Xiaomi Mi 8 on the market, smartphone users can assess their location by the decimetre rather than the metre. The dual-frequency receiver also improves accuracy within urban areas, which are usually troublesome because of tall buildings. This innovation offers new effectiveness to navigators and opens a range of possibilities for application developers. Location accuracy once limited to professional devices is now available to the common smartphone user.
