They need a product like Xiaomi mobile phone that can get 80% of the experience of Stardust mobile phone for only half the money, so Xiaomi can quickly become popular in a short period of time and still meet the market demand.
The so-called 80% is just what they think, or it is deliberately promoted by Rebus and Stardust Technology. On the surface, Xiaomi and Stardust Technology appear to be on opposite sides, but in fact they belong to the same camp.
Wang Jinli has conducted more than three rounds of cooperation negotiations with Xiaomi, Meizu, and Coolpad. Coolpad has always had an ambiguous attitude. Meizu's boss Huang seems to be "idealistic", but he behaves very realistically.
In other words, Boss Huang is just an intermittent idealist, and he does not rule out using idealistic products to play emotional cards to attract consumers. In short, no matter what, they are willing to try Stardust Technology's method.
There’s nothing you can do if you don’t want to!
First of all, at least half of China's smartphone accessories now come directly or indirectly from the Stardust ecological chain. Secondly, Wang Jinli's proposal to support "low-price brands" is for their sub-brands, not the main brand.
If they follow Stardust Technology's approach, they may not make much money, but their brand power will definitely be greatly improved, and it will also give Meizu a "conscience" label. Why not do it?
When there are more users of Meizu phones in the future, they will definitely be more inclined to Meizu when choosing between mobile phones. Boss Huang thinks so, but consumers may not necessarily choose this way. After all, there is Stardust Technology.
For example, right now, you can’t afford the new Stardust 3 or Stardust 3+, but you can buy the Stardust 2, which is officially reduced by 600 yuan. If you buy it second-hand... you can get another 500 yuan discount, and you can buy a Stardust for 2,700 yuan.
2.
Of course, there are risks in the second-hand market. Many consumers will go to "acquaintances" to buy Stardust 2, which is cheaper than the official price of Stardust Technology. It only costs over 3,000, and maybe they can get some gifts.
As a result, anyone with a little bit of ability will try their best to get a Stardust mobile phone, not to mention the young people who are still studying. Some work part-time by themselves, some rely on their fathers fully, and some rely on scholarships...
Unless the price range of the Stardust mobile phone can be raised to a higher level and the gap between it and other mobile phone brands is widened, other than pursuing cost-effectiveness, the Stardust mobile phone is the best choice, an authentic smartphone!
This is one of the reasons why Chen Zifan changed his development strategy and wanted to support a low-priced mobile phone brand in the two years between Stardust 3 and Stardust 4.
Not only because the government will provide a large amount of resources, but also because the Stardust 4 series will increase in price, it is also to establish a Chinese mobile phone market dominated by Stardust Technology and determine the situation of smartphones.
Of course, what is more important is that the full popularity of smartphones is conducive to Stardust Technology’s next steps, such as promoting mobile payments, digital currencies, online platforms, shared travel, online ride-hailing platforms, etc.
Low-priced phones are still easier to popularize than high-priced phones. The problem now is not whether the Stardust phone is good or not, but that a considerable number of people don't even own a smartphone at all, and they have completely fallen out of step with the times.
If he only thinks about making money and making profits, Chen Zifan can completely turn a blind eye, but that is not the case. Stardust Technology and the official government need to grab these groups and drag them on board.
The only thing that makes Boss Huang dissatisfied is that Stardust Technology...or the government wants to support more than just Meizu as a low-priced brand. There may be other competitors, so Meizu cannot monopolize it.
In fact, Boss Huang also understands that China's huge smartphone market cannot be conquered by Meizu alone. He is just unwilling to do so: "No matter who the other brands are, in the end only Meizu! Meizu will be left!"
Soon Boss Huang knew who the other target of support was. It was Xiaomi Technology founded by Rebus. On October 10, Rebus released his own Xiaomi 1, which attracted the attention of countless consumers.
As soon as Rebus came on the scene, he compared Xiaomi 1 to Stardust 3, starting from the processor, to the camera, battery capacity, and they even introduced an 18W fast charge, which is also part of the Stardust ecological chain.
But ordinary consumers don’t know that!
They only know that the Stardust 3 has all the things that the Xiaomi Mi 1 also has, and some of them may be inferior, such as the screen, fast charging, operating system... But given the price balance, these things are not important at all.
"Xiaomi 1 is equipped with the same Dimensity 300 processor as Stardust 3! The front uses a Star Vision 5.4-inch 1080P OLED screen! This is currently recognized as the golden size in the mobile phone industry! It takes into account both the hand feel and the large screen, plus
On to our ergonomic design…”
The so-called excessive arc of the middle frame and the curvature of the back cover are all things Stardust Technology has already played with. They just changed the name. Is 5.4 inches the golden size? Everyone thinks it is, so it must be!
Coupled with the publicity of major media, ordinary people have long formed this concept. At this time, another person jumped out and said: You have all been deceived. 5.4 inches is not the most comfortable, and there are other more comfortable sizes!
It is estimated that he will be sprayed into a sieve...
You say no? Then you have the ability to find a mobile phone that is more comfortable to hold than Stardust 3? You can’t find it? If you can’t find it, what else are you comparing to?
The Star Vision 1080P screen that Rebus mentioned is a product of a subsidiary of Stardust Technology. It has indeed reached the 1080P level in terms of visual appearance, but it is still a little worse than the Stardust mobile phone screen.
It is roughly equivalent to the level between Stardust 1 and Stardust 2. What else is left: "5.2 million pixel camera! 3333 mAh large battery! 18W fast charging! Symmetrical dual speakers! Fast USB interface..."
Anyway, we have so many accessories from the Stardust ecological chain, and we don’t care about one more USB interface. Regardless of whether the design of the fast USB interface is reasonable or not, Stardust Technology has made them top-notch in the industry.
At the same time, this is also the USB interface of domestic technology companies, and the government is also vigorously promoting it. Even desktops and laptops from Lenovo, China HP and other computer manufacturers also use Speed USB.
When the influence of a technology company's products reaches a certain level, when a technology is enough to change the future development situation... it is no longer a pure technology, but becomes a "large game".
Chen Zifan is already preparing to produce a charging cable with fast USB interfaces on both ends, but an adapter cable for other interfaces will be included inside the product.
After all, it is impossible to eliminate the influence of the original USB technology all at once, and you have to take your time.
In fact, this product is mainly prepared for other electronic product manufacturers, because it cannot be used on Stardust 4. Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ will use the embedded speed USB mode in [Stardust Technology].
Embed one end of the Speed USB interface directly into Stardust 4, Stardust 4+ and other products of the same generation to achieve closed data transmission and reception.
As for the charging issue...
Stardust Technology will still provide two charging modes, one is the same wireless charging as Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, the wireless charging power of Stardust 4+ will be upgraded to 50W, and the other is also wireless charging.
Not only is it wireless, it can also achieve air charging within a radius of three meters and a diameter of six meters. According to feedback from the core area of the Stardust Factory, Stardust Technology can currently only achieve a maximum of 20W air charging.
Compared with Stardust 3, Stardust 3+’s 30W wired charging seems to still have a negative growth...but this is not the case. The best thing about this technology is that it can charge multiple devices within the range of the air charger.
It can charge multiple products such as mobile phones, tablets, and smart watches at once. Theoretically, you can charge as many products as there are, but in actual use there will be an upper limit because there are too many chargers and the voltage cannot withstand it.
The current limit is to charge five devices at the same time.
The standard air charger for Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ is very large, even at least twice as large as the 165W and 240W chargers that some manufacturers will launch in the future. The advantage is that you don’t need to worry about plugging it into the socket.
There are also two built-in power management chips. When charging, you only need to use your mobile phone to operate it~
This is already the limit of what Stardust Technology can do at present, but don’t underestimate this air charger. It has a built-in phase control array composed of 48 antennas, which forms millimeter waves and sends them directionally to mobile phones through beams.
At the same time, it is not blocked by foreign objects and can be charged while playing without any reduction in charging power.
In Chen Zifan's memory, some domestic manufacturers have used this technology to launch new concepts. Xiaomi and Motorola have done publicity in this regard.
However, it did not come true. Even the concept product of a roll-screen mobile phone was speculated over and over again for several years. In the end, there was no news at all and they continued to attack folding screen mobile phones. It doesn’t matter~
Other mobile phone manufacturers can't do it, but Stardust Technology can. [Stardust Technology] has stored a large number of product technologies that far exceed those of 2022. The so-called concept products and technologies can be realized here by Chen Zifan.
With this technology, the price of Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ will not be increased by 1,000, even if the price increase is a little steeper, consumers will still be able to accept it. However, Chen Zifan will not do that, as that would be too far away from the mass market.
It is not available on Stardust 4, but some of the concept technologies found on Stardust 4+ include the design concept of Meizu Zero’s holeless mobile phone. Speedy USB is embedded, and the speaker is hidden in the frame and under the screen.
Even the power on, volume, and three-stage mute keys are designed to be hidden. The powerful and delicate customized X-axis linear motor is used to restore the touch control of the physical keys, achieving a fake and real effect.
The remaining configurations are routine upgrades ~
It’s just what Chen Zifan thinks is “routine”…
On the other side, at the Xiaomi press conference, all the configurations have been announced. The high configuration of Xiaomi Mi 1 is only for people to see. The important thing is its price. As expected, Rebus has a special liking for 1999.
When the price of 1999 was announced, countless netizens and consumers became excited, and many even made some exaggerated remarks online, such as:
"Xiaomi is here! The era of Stardust technology dominance is coming to an end! It only costs 1999! You can buy a replacement for Stardust 3! Brothers, I'll rush ahead!"
"Damn it! This is too cheap!"
“I have everything I need, and the phone looks pretty good! I’ve tried Xiaomi UI and it’s easy to use, so I really don’t understand what those previous phone manufacturers were doing? They didn’t even have a decent product.
!”
"GouleTV! You deceived my feelings! @Jiaboss, come out and see what is value for money!"
"Whatever you want to buy Stardust 3! Buy Xiaomi!"
“It’s really cost-effective…”
If they put Xiaomi 1 and Stardust 3 together in reality, I'm afraid they would be able to tell the difference at a glance, but now Xiaomi adopts an online sales model, and ordinary consumers only know the configuration and price.
Chen Zifan is not worried at all about the threat that Xiaomi 1 will pose to Stardust Technology. If Xiaomi 1 can reach one-tenth of the sales of Stardust 3, it will be considered a success for Rebus. You must know that Stardust Technology combines both online and offline.
And the proportion of offline shipments is as high as 78%, while online sales are less than a quarter.
Someone soon stood up to refute:
"Instead of Stardust 3? What are you thinking? There is no wireless charging, no IP68 dustproof and waterproof, no three-stage mute button, and even the UI is a fake Stardust OS. I don't know why Xiaomi 1 can replace Stardust
Dust 3?”
"No way? Do some people really think that Stardust 3 is bad? It is indeed not as good as Stardust 3+, but apart from Stardust 3+, Stardust 3 is the best smartphone! Not all other brands can compete with it.
!”
"To add, does it have optical image stabilization? What's the use of the extra 200,000 pixels? Can it make the video as stable as Stardust 3?"
"What's the use of the light blowing configuration? What about after-sales guarantee? All after-sales orders at the Stardust After-sales Center can be solved within one day. Does Xiaomi have this ability?"
"Online sales machine is an online sales machine..."
"It's not bad if Xiaomi can make a cheaper smartphone. They are all domestically produced phones. The publicity may be a bit extreme, but if the product is better, it's not bad."
"You get what you pay for. Stardust mobile phones are expensive for a reason. If you want to get a cheaper one, you must give up something."
"Hey, this sentence is not necessarily correct. I know that some imported Android phones are more expensive than Stardust 3+, but the configuration...is the level of Stardust 2."
"Those phones are not as good as Stardust 2. Stardust 2 at least has 20W fast charging. What do they have?"
"In the field of smartphones, don't talk about imported mobile phones, right? Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ are already cheap in China. Some foreigners don't cherish them. If you have the ability, go abroad and see the prices of foreign Stardust mobile phones!"
"Don't mention it. Stardust 3+ in Europe costs 1,399 euros, which is over 10,000 euros..."
"Hi~ Is that so exaggerated?"
"Yes! It's such an exaggeration! Even Stardust 2 sold for more than 5,000, and Stardust 3 sold for more than 7,000. Even with such a high price, many people still bought it, which is outrageous!"
"Fuck! I'm so shocked..."
"It's really like this! If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look, or you can ask the Wai Chinese people who come to China. There are many Wai Chinese people who specially come to Haicheng to settle down!"
"Is Stardust Technology so cruel!?"
Chinese consumers, who have long been accustomed to being impacted by imported brands, imported products, and imported culture, see for the first time that a domestic brand can counterattack in developed countries and regions, and they use the same method they used to come to China.
All of a sudden they were a little at a loss. Only then did they understand that it was no wonder that Stardust Technology had such a high status now. It casually advertised at the Beijing Olympics, and built roads and charging stations in Haicheng as soon as they were built.
It’s no wonder that Xinghan Mini can get so many orders in a short period of time. Although it only produces one car now, no one would regard Xinghan Zhixing as a no-name brand.
Chen Zifan can completely use these things to promote and hype them, but he thinks it is unnecessary. The so-called "light of domestic products" and "representative of domestic products" are concepts formed spontaneously in the minds of consumers and do not rely on publicity.
Stardust's marketing department never uses the name "domestic" in its promotions. If one day Stardust mobile phones need to use the word "domestic" to promote sales, it can only be said that Stardust Technology is not far from bankruptcy.
Obviously today is the launch of Xiaomi 1, but the result is that Stardust Technology's status has been improved again. In the Stardust community, the bottom of a certain post is full of @星dust科技 and @陈子fan, although they know there will be no response.
However, this time it was different. Chen Zifan really noticed it. He was shocked as soon as he entered the Stardust community:
"600,000 times? That's so much? What am I doing, Aite? Oh~ So it's this, it doesn't have to be like this, right?"
It's not a big deal.
Chen Zifan still remembers Mo Shaokun telling him a story about Honda. The founder of Honda once saw that even riding bicycles was a luxury for the people in their country after the war, so he decided to produce motorcycles.
The initial goal is also very simple, which is to allow ordinary people to have comfortable transportation tools, motorcycles, cars...or other things.
Two years ago, some people seemed to question Stardust Technology, whether it wanted to be China's Honda or Samsung?
Chen Zifan didn't think so. He believed that Stardust Technology would be much more powerful than Honda and Samsung. Originally, he was just moving towards his own goal, but with the development of Stardust Technology, his ideas were also changing.
"our products…"
Thinking of this, Chen Zifan posted a post on his Stardust community account for the first time: "The products of Stardust Technology are made for us!"
Regardless of the price increase or the hype, Stardust Technology will make up for it in its own way, so that everyone can enjoy the changes brought about by technology!
Xiaomi and Meizu are examples. Chen Zifan doesn't care about Xiaomi phones and Meizu phones because these two brands are half of Stardust Technology's sub-brands.
He only cares about whether Stardust Technology, the officially supported Redmi, and Meizu can fully popularize smartphones and mobile networks so that old ladies in the village can use them.
