That is to say, on April 23, after more than half a year of preparations and amid a lot of turmoil, Sony Ericsson entered this battlefield and launched its first smartphone based on Android system-SP100.
The SP100 mobile phone has three major features. The first is the music phone function that Sony Ericsson has always advertised. The second is that its camera function is very good and the pixels are very high. The third is the operation optimization system that matches the Android system. It is very
It is delicate and soft, and the operating experience is very friendly. It is eye-catching in terms of appearance, photography, communication and other functions.
SONY in Japan always wins with its cute appearance. In addition, their advantages in sound quality and camera are also reflected in the SP100 this time. Although in Xiao Qi's opinion, the coordination of the entire LCD panel
It's still a little weird, a bit thick and bulky, and the system's computing power and FLASH fluency aren't very good, but compared to the Symbian system smartphones they originally launched, it's already much better.
However, this smartphone, which has surpassed the level of Sony Ericsson in 2010, is up against the super dominant iPhone and DreamStars within ten years. No matter how they are put together, they are not on the same level.
However, compared to the three models of Galaxy S2, A1600 and N80, they are almost in the same grade. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no distance between them.
Countless manufacturers in Japan have a very big advantage.
That is they have the best fans.
The Japanese love the products of their domestic companies very much. Don’t look at the many companies in Japan, such as electronics, automobiles, machinery, department store retail, etc. But with the support of Japan’s 150 million people, they rely solely on the domestic market
We can maintain basic profits and feel confident when we expand abroad.
The same is true for the mobile phone industry. Japan has three major operators, including SONY, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sharp, Hitachi, Mitsubishi... and more than ten mobile phone manufacturers, but they can actually live a prosperous life in Japan.
The confidence is so strong that several mobile phone manufacturers are unwilling to go abroad to fight.
Sony, Sharp, etc. that have left the market also resolutely adhere to the high-price policy and never engage in price wars.
Therefore, this time is no exception. The price of SP100 is not cheap. The price of 16G plus 5 million pixels version is 528 US dollars, and the price of 32G plus 8 million pixels version is 618 US dollars. It is higher than Nokia and Motorola, and the same as Samsung Galaxy S2. This means
Sony Ericsson wants to compete in the mid-range market of smartphones.
After they gain a firm foothold, they will extend their reach upwards and compete with IPHONE and DreamStars in the high-end market.
There is no need to worry about Sony Ericsson's production capacity. They are fully prepared and immediately gave 1 million SP100 contract machines to KDDI, and KDDI did the same. As early as a few days before the SP100 was released on April 23,
The official website started shouting, hoping to rely on the reputation of Sony Ericsson and the power of local brands to win good luck in one fell swoop.
However, what shocked them was that the 1 million units of DreamStars were sold out in less than half an hour. After 24 hours, the SP100 only sold 180,000 units, which was not even a little bit behind.
The reason is not to say that the Japanese do not support the two local companies SONY and KDDI, but the difference lies in comparison.
Without IPHONE and DreamStars, SP100 would definitely be a very good model, but after having the first two, looking at SP100, not many people really have the desire to buy it.
Among these 180,000 units, most of them are middle-aged people over 40 years old, who have the deepest brand sentiments. When it comes to consumer electronic products, young people aged 20-40 who are really willing to spend money are
There is almost no action.
If you want to say that there are no contract models of other models in Japan, then that’s it. DreamStars contract models are already on the market, and there will be hundreds of thousands of them coming next month. Why not save your money to grab the most beautiful ones?
What about the screaming DreamStars?
Even if DreamStars is not enough, Samsung's Galaxy S2, Motorola's A1600 and Nokia N80 contract phones will successively land in Japan. Then there will be more choices, and there is no need to rush to grab the SP100 now.
Besides, the Japanese are not smart about everything. They are die-hard fans. If your quality is not good, they will not buy it. This SP100 has just been released, and the performance and advantages and disadvantages have not been understood yet. There is no need to rush to be a guinea pig.
Bar?
In short, due to various reasons, the sales of 180,000 SP100 mobile phones in 24 hours not only did not become an instant success as SONY and KDDI expected, but instead put them in an embarrassing situation.
Internationally, people have the impression that "Android phones are really not as good as several phones in the App Store Alliance".
As always, Gang Leader Qiao didn't care about any developments in the Android Alliance. Li Jianxi paid a little more attention to it and even called Xiao Qi to discuss it for a few words.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Shanshan, who was massaging Xiao Qi, asked: "Husband, you don't seem to care about the Android Alliance? Needless to say, Gang Leader Qiao is a natural madman, but we are not Americans.
Being an enemy is also a sign of respect for yourself, isn't it?"
Today, almost no one dares to speak to Xiao Qi like this, not only because of Xiao Qi's power and status, but also because Xiao Qi almost never makes mistakes. He is a person with detailed plans for the future, smart, meticulous and
He was so thoughtful that no one needed to remind him.
That is to say, Yu Shanshan is Xiao Qi's wife, so she can occasionally remind her husband to not let him get carried away by victory.
"How could I not know what you said?" Xiao Qi laughed, patted Dayangma's jade hand, and said: "I value the Android Alliance definitely above others. Don't look at Android now.
The system is not great, but once it reaches a global scale, it is a terrifying force!"
"Is it because it's free? But it's said that Windows phones are also free, right? How can the Windows system's foundation and connections be compared to Android's? If they want to take the world by storm, it should be them!" Yu Shanshan asked in turn.
"Yea, haha!"
Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
The current situation is completely what the depositor Xiao Qi expected, and it can be said to be very interesting.
In the previous life, the two giants Samsung and HTC made the Android system develop by leaps and bounds. They were once compared with Apple, and together they occupied 90% of the smartphone market.
It is precisely because they have seen their success that many small and medium-sized manufacturers have made up their minds to remove their operating system research and development departments, leaving only the system optimization department at most, and fully switch to the embrace of the Android system.
It's great now. Samsung has been lured over by Xiao Qi to make its own system Bada, and HTC has been lured over by Microsoft to make Windowsphone systems. Neither of the two great heroes of the Android system has followed the original historical trajectory.
On the contrary, Nokia and Motorola, which were not originally included in the Android system, came in, making Xiao Qi sigh that the world is really wonderful.
There is no doubt that Samsung and HTC are desperate to make Android systems because they have no other options. But it is different when it comes to Nokia and Motorola. It is not so easy for the two giants to fully follow GOOGLE's wishes.
Walk.
What an alliance fears most is having different voices.
Although Fairy, Apple and Samsung each have their own little calculations, they are absolutely unanimous in maintaining APPSTORE. No matter who wants to take advantage of APPSTORE, they will face full counterattack from the three of them.
This is also the reason why APPSTORE is so popular, but no one dares to make a decision - fat is certainly tempting, but the terrifying power of the three major electronic giants is not for fun!
However, on the most important Android system of the Android Alliance, the three giants have different thoughts. They cannot achieve basic unity and attack with a fist, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce their power.
Due to such almost earth-shaking changes, Xiao Qi is sure that the Android system will not really develop until around 2010, maybe even later.
It will also surpass the aging Motorola and Nokia.
Another point is that the Windows phone system appeared a few years in advance and poached HTC, which ranked second in the Android camp. So you can imagine how violent the chemical effect produced by the two together will be.
With Microsoft as cunning as Bill's shoes, HTC will definitely not be as successful as in its previous life, and will eventually be lost to everyone. Its development will definitely be much better than Nokia, which was absorbed by Microsoft.
From another perspective, the Microsoft Alliance is stronger than the previous life, and the Android Alliance is weaker than the previous life, so the strength of the two parties is almost equal.
The two alliances are involved in each other and fighting with each other will lead to further internal friction, giving the three giants of the App Store Alliance room for development.
However, the days to come will definitely be much more lively than the previous life!
