Chapter 104 Whatever it is, it's 1999
As they discussed this, the comparison image reappeared on the large screen.
On the left is a flagship phone from a certain brand priced at 4999 yuan, and on the right is the Honor Play.
"First, let's take a look at the comparison chart of the screens."
This is an international competitor. Everyone says their company pioneered the smartphone era, so let's compare them properly.
First of all, we both use HVGV screens, which means the resolution is 320×480 pixels, but our screen size is 1.5 inches larger than theirs, so the display area is a bit larger.
This way, the screen will be bigger when playing games like Fruit Ninja and Plants vs. Zombies...
Honor Play1, wishing everyone godlike performance in games.
There were also some scattered laughs from the audience.
Some users who used both phones nodded silently in agreement. The Huawei Mate 1 was indeed better than the iPhone for gaming; the iPhone's small screen was just too hard on the eyes…
"As for the processor, we have an enhanced version of the 6573 with an 845MHz clock speed."
However, ever since MediaTek learned that we had the corresponding technology, they've been eager to collaborate. But they're very cunning; they renamed the enhanced chip MTK6575.
He paused deliberately at this point. The old model number 6573 and its parameters were originally displayed on the big screen. Then, as if by magic, the number three was erased and replaced with five.
The relevant parameters were also changed, and an encyclopedia entry was even created specifically for them.
MTK6575: This chip is an upgraded version of the 6573, with the clock speed increased from 650MHz to 845MHz, resulting in a 30% performance improvement. It also optimizes a series of other issues...
For example, the decoding issue represents a generational upgrade, resolving a long-standing problem for MediaTek.
"Then the price of this chip was also increased from the original $40 to $72, making it a true flagship chip."
But rest assured, we've calculated the material costs using the original price, so buying this phone is a great deal.
For the first time, a real commotion erupted from the audience...
Some tech bloggers quickly grabbed their cameras and started taking pictures.
Lei Jun, who had just recovered, suffered another huge blow.
Huawei's purchase price was half that of them. Luckily, they didn't have this chip, otherwise...
However, this also means that Transsion's supply chain integration capabilities have enabled it to force chip manufacturers to agree to their outrageous proposals.
He recalled that in 2003, when Kingsoft was developing WPS Office 2005, Qiu Bojun went to Microsoft to discuss an Office compatibility agreement, but they didn't even let him into the meeting room and simply sent him away as a product manager...
Now, MediaTek, an upstream supplier in the mobile phone industry, has become a junior partner of Huaxing.
……
The chip is an old friend, after all; Yu Dazui only mentioned it briefly before glossing over it. This chip is absolutely far ahead of its competitors at this price point.
Soon it was time to charge.
Regarding charging, I explained it to everyone at our last Mate launch event. Current chargers are generally 5W, but they don't run at full power. They are usually between 2 and 3W, and it takes a long time to fully charge the battery.
To solve this problem, we made some minor modifications to the universal charger, and were the first to stabilize the power at 5W for an extended period of time.
It only takes 3 hours to fully charge a 3000mA battery.
But this time we've brought an even more advanced 10W fast charging technology, reducing charging time to under an hour!
Yu Dazui picked up a charging adapter, then slightly opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it.
After all, after the last press conference, Ren Zhengfei specifically emphasized to him: Huawei's terminals are still in the development stage, so don't use so many catchphrases, as this can easily mislead consumers.
Although Yu Dazui was very restrained, Xiaobai in the audience still understood these words through lip reading: "far ahead".
He smiled knowingly; he had video material again.
A new comparison animation appeared on the big screen, with Mate on the left and Honor on the right. A true warrior is one who tramples his own big brother underfoot.
In the animation, Honor's charging speed was like a rocket, with the charging number changing every minute, sometimes one, sometimes two. In the end, it only took 58 minutes to reach 100%.
The Mate 1 next door, which used a modified universal charger, only charged to 34%. This huge difference left many people in the audience speechless.
"58 minutes!"
Yu Dazui repeated the number: "From now on, you won't need to plug in your charger before bed anymore. You'll have enough time to rush to work in the morning while washing up and eating breakfast."
The press conference was once again ignited, this time with an even more enthusiastic atmosphere. Some people started whistling, while others began clapping.
At the press conference, Wang Jianzhou, the head of China Unicom, glanced at the reactions behind him and nodded in satisfaction.
Fortunately, he made the right choice.
If this is successful, even if we don't fill the huge hole in the fruit business, at least we'll keep our position.
Yu Dazui didn't try to control the atmosphere, allowing all these emotions to be released freely. He waited for the applause to last for more than 10 seconds before continuing.
「续航时间:2500mAh的电池配合上Mtk6573的优秀功耗，连续视频播放9.2小时、3G通话11小时，待机240小时（约10天）……」
He paused briefly, then continued, "I know what you want to ask?"
2500mAh is 500mAh less than the Mate's, is that enough?
A complex test curve appeared on the large screen.
"enough!
Because our international competitors are only using 1200mAh batteries, ours is still a super-large battery.
Moreover, we still adopted the detachable design.
Spare batteries can be purchased at a very discounted price if you buy during the initial launch period.
At this point, he looked up at the audience again.
"Product development isn't about piling on specifications. It's about making the smartest trade-offs within a limited budget."
Another round of loud applause erupted from the audience!
……
The system is definitely TaiShan OS version 1.6, which mainly fixes some bugs (removes some code) and further enhances smoothness...
However, since he wasn't a pureblood, Yu Dazui still glossed over it.
After introducing these important features, the press conference came to its final stage. Yu Dazui on stage, after explaining these important features, also clearly told consumers about some of the features that had been cut.
For example, the plastic frame and back cover, the high-density battery on the Mate being downgraded to a regular liquid lithium-ion battery, and NFC being removed...
Lei Jun sat in the audience, his fingertips unconsciously clenching his palms.
The hardware of the Honor Play1 almost surpasses that of the original Mi, which he had been designing for a long time. Only the screen and processor are inferior, but they are about the same.
At the same time, this product is a strong competitor to the Mate 1. It even beat them to the punch by featuring 10W fast charging as its initial selling point…
Every parameter struck him like a hammer blow. The product's high cost-performance ratio was enough to shake the entire market and instantly put his plans in an extremely passive position.
The pressure was mounting like a tidal wave; he could foresee the uproar that would erupt once the price was announced.
After explaining the components that had been cut, Yu Dazui paused briefly. Lei Jun's heart inexplicably raced, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his eyes churned with an extremely complex mix of emotions.
There was resentment, solemnity, and frustration at being completely outmaneuvered, and even more so, a faint sense of relief that he himself dared not admit.
He stared intently at the stage, his mind filled with only one mad shout.
Please, please don't let it be 1999!
Absolutely not!
