To be honest, Xiao Qi was a little stunned when he saw the two mobile phones from Motorola and Nokia at the press conference.
Motorola released the a1800 mobile phone, which has a 4.7-inch LCD screen. The screen color is bright and colorful. It looks a bit simple but not bulky. On the contrary, it looks very textured. It reminds people of the world's first Motorola brick phone.
.
But this association is not bad. This time, compared with the previous a1600, the bulkiness of the a1800 is completely acceptable, because it just looks thick, but in fact it is not that rough. The thickness is no different from 2
How many.
A1800 supports 3G and II, uses quad-core Qualcomm PU, system memory 2G, body memory is configured as 8G, 16G, 32G, camera is dual 6 million pixels, battery 2800 mAh, in II and 3G signal capture, it is very good
Powerful, of course, this has always been Motorola's strength.
In terms of price, they are US$366, US$388, and US$428, which are directly compared to the m2, g2 and three mid-range models.
Nokia released the n90, equipped with a 5-inch gorilla screen. Its biggest feature is its slimness, which is almost the same level as Dreamsta. Its configuration is also very high, with a self-designed and produced quad-core PU and a system memory of 2G.
Not to mention the 16g and 32g of body memory, the most important thing is that it is crazy equipped with dual front and rear cameras of 10 million pixels. The imaging effect is very good, and it is almost killing all card machines!
In addition, Nokia’s technical connotation in smartphones is finally revealed on the n90.
First of all, the touch screen sensitivity tested at the press conference was very smooth. A beautiful woman played a song directly on the piano app. There was no pause at all. When playing the latest large-scale online game, the finger operations were the same as on a computer.
Quick and convenient.
At the same time, Nokia has a particularly powerful chip department, and the PU is produced entirely by itself. Even after using it for an hour, the phone does not get hot.
The n90 has a long standby time. Although the battery is only 2500 mAh, the power of the pu is well adjusted. Basically, there is no problem at all for three days of standby. If you play non-stop, it can support at least 6 hours of power.
.
In terms of price, Nokia is still a little higher than Motorola, at US$399 for the 16g model and US$469 for the 32g model, but the colors are particularly rich, with more than a dozen colors, and they also specifically indicate that there is no extra charge for choosing the color!
Such various advantages appeared in two conferences respectively, which greatly amazed the fans at the scene.
I didn’t expect that the two giants who did such a poor job with their first smartphone would actually do such an unexpectedly good job with their second phone!
It is true that a1800 and n90 are far from as stunning as dreamsta. But they can be compared with the previously popular g2 and n90, and are slightly better than Samsung's m2 and sony's sp100.
For fans, this is enough!
As long as Motorola and Nokia cheer up, they will definitely add new forces to the smartphone market and will not let Apple and Fairy be so superior. Not only will their performance continue to rise, but their prices will also come down.
All in all, fierce market competition is definitely a good thing for consumers.
Subsequently, the two giants launched online booking again, which further proved the excellence of a1800 and n90.
The a1800's one-day pre-orders reached more than 9 million units. The n90's sales exceeded 12 million units due to its cute appearance and good camera imaging effect.
This is just online. Their two offline physical stores have tens of thousands of units, and they are expected to arrive in a week. At that time, it will be easy to sell at least hundreds of millions of units.
What's more, when Xiao Qi, Gang Leader Qiao, and Li Jianxi called to communicate, the three of them all believed that the monthly sales of a1800 and n90 would soar to at least 6 million units. If the subsequent system upgrades, the number of new apps, etc. software and hardware
If the strength can keep up, with the background of the two major companies, it is definitely not empty talk to break through to G2's 8 million units.
What Li Jianxi is even more worried about is that with the success of a1800 and n90, Motorola and Nokia will find their direction more accurately and achieve more success.
Under such a virtuous cycle, the two giants will stand up?
Gang Leader Qiao scoffed at this.
"You may think they have made a good mobile phone now, but the two companies are too rigid and cannot innovate desperately. Once this mobile phone sells well, they will desperately squeeze out the residual value of this mobile phone.
, it will be a minor facelift in two or three years, instead of launching new models with revolutionary innovations every year. In this era, if you don’t develop in two or three years, you will fall directly behind! I see, one
Years from now, let alone us, they will be inferior to companies like Sony, HT, and LG!"
Hearing Gang Leader Qiao's comments, Xiao Qi was convinced.
Xiao Qi has the memory of his previous life, so he naturally knows that in the era of smartphones, Nokia and Motorola have not failed. Their products have appeared in the top ten or even the top five in the sales rankings in North America and Europe.
But this is just a flash in the pan. Every time others upgrade, the two giants are never seen. The launch of their new mobile phones is not as active and powerful as Samsung at all, not even comparable to HT.
That is to say, there was no Xiaomi in that era. If Xiaomi had appeared a few years earlier and impacted both of them with its excellent price/performance ratio, Motorola and Nokia would have gone bankrupt two or three years earlier.
There is no Xiaomi in this life, but it has already appeared, and several major electronics manufacturers in China have also begun to enter the mid-to-low-end market. Xiaomiao Electronics, the replacement for Xiaomi mobile phones, is also actively preparing to come in and get a share of the pie.
It can be said that the smartphone market in this life is far more intense and tragic than in the previous life.
If Motorola and Nokia continue to hold on to the idea of only having one mobile phone for three years, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
Of course, just like the variables of HT are in Microsoft, the variables of Motorola and Nokia are in Google.
Different from the previous life, the Android Alliance has been greatly weakened in this life.
In the previous life, Google did not rescue Motorola because they had more powerful Samsung and HT in their camp. The rapid progress of the two was enough to offset the losses caused by Motorola's failure, and Nokia used its own system and had nothing to do with the Android Alliance.
After Motorola and Nokia completely declined, LG emerged, as well as many Chinese manufacturers, all joining the Android Alliance. The Android camp was unprecedentedly powerful, so they did not have to save the two giants and pull them into the Android camp.
It's coming inside.
So far in this life, the Android Alliance consists of three manufacturers: Motorola, Nokia and Sony. If Chinese brands have not grown up, or most of them have defected to Microsoft systems, and Motorola and Nokia collapsed, then the Android Alliance
It will definitely hurt your vitality, which is definitely something Google doesn’t want to see.
Therefore, when Motorola and Nokia are in crisis, Google will not stand idly by. With their current strength, they will definitely be able to help Motorola and Nokia reverse some situations.
These are all things for later.
For now, there is no problem that a1800 and n90 will sell well for half a year or even a year, and the market competition will become more intense.
Coupled with the fact that LG is unwilling to be left alone, after announcing that it has entered the Microsoft camp, it is expected to launch a new mobile phone next month, which makes the market even more stormy.
Of course, LG cannot enter the smartphone market in a hurry.
The last time Xiao Qi went to South Korea and monopolized LG's mid-to-high-end cameras with Samsung, they were already developing smartphones.
He even said that Xiao Qi was sure that LG had already made the mobile phone and used Microsoft's system to match it. After the test showed no problems, it decided to announce that it had joined the Microsoft camp and launched a new phone next month.
.
Microsoft's system started to be used on HT's g1 in September last year, but the effect was not very good.
But the system adjustment on the g2 has become very good, at least not worse than the Android system. In addition, Microsoft's public relations are very effective, and the conditions given should be better than the Android Alliance, so LG defected to Microsoft without hesitation.
Originally, g2 had a tendency to continue to make great efforts. Thinking back to LG's performance in its previous life, it was absolutely smooth and quiet. Although the sales volume was not top-notch, the quality of the mobile phone was very good and the technology was used a lot. Therefore, the sales volume in Europe and the United States was very good.
A strong player worthy of second-tier brands.
Microsoft missed the opportunity in its previous life, but they also desperately used the Nokia mobile phone division they purchased to catch up with those in front of them, which can be said to be very patient.
In this life, they have two capable assistants, HT and LG. In Xiao Qi's opinion, they are a bigger threat than the Android Alliance.
Both the Microsoft Alliance and the Android Alliance are free operating systems, and their interests are in conflict. Although there are some areas of union, it is still much better than the Android Alliance in the previous life.
A three-legged confrontation is much better than two heroes competing for hegemony! (To be continued)
