Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 258 Chen's Comparison Method

After talking about the appearance, Chen Pingjiang focused his introduction on the camera function.

"Unlike the mainstream mobile phones in the current market, the Orange S1 is designed with special attention paid to the user's photo-taking experience. The front 30-pixel camera and the rear 800-pixel camera can meet a variety of needs. If you are not a professional enthusiast, you can almost say goodbye to digital cameras and only bring a mobile phone when traveling."

Along with Chen Pingjiang's words, there were two more comparison pictures. When compared with HTC, the other party did not even have a front camera, and when compared with Samsung, the other party's rear camera was only 500 million.

Changing the subject, Chen Pingjiang shook the Orange S1 phone in his hand and said, "However, due to the hardware conditions, the camera function of mobile phones cannot be compared with that of digital cameras. Therefore, our R&D personnel focused on the software system. It is precisely because of the emergence of Orange UI that our cameras have the beauty function."

"You see, when we take portrait photos, we have multiple styles to choose from, including fresh, texture, film, holiday, sunshine, etc."

Every time Chen Pingjiang spoke, a photo of a certain style would be projected onto the big screen, causing a round of cheers, mostly from women.

"In addition to styles, we also added filter functions, including grapefruit, pirate, movie, evening breeze, etc."

“In terms of lighting effects, we simulate professional software, and also use natural light, studio light, three-dimensional light, and rainbow light.”

"With the above functions, beautiful women and handsome men can take photos in any style they want, and they can take photos that look like blockbusters without the need for separate settings or lighting."

"However, these are not the most amazing features. The feature I am most proud of is the Photoshop function! Yes, we are the first in the industry to embed the Photoshop function into cameras. Users can Photoshop the photos immediately after taking them and save them to the album. There is no need to upload them to the computer and then use Meitu XiuXiu to Photoshop them."

"The skin smoothing function can make your skin look more radiant, and the skin tone adjustment can make you look fairer. In addition, there are functions such as enlarging eyes, thinning nose, and thinning face. Even if you are not a professional Photoshop player, you can Photoshop yourself beautifully. We also have a one-click Photoshop function, which is a fool-proof operation."

Wow!
The scene exploded directly on the spot.

The live broadcast barrage is flooding the screen like crazy!

"Oh no, this phone hits my G-spot, I have to buy it."

"Sisters, go for it!"

"I cried my ass off. He is so smart. He deserves to be the national husband. He is so considerate of the sisters."

"To be honest, I didn't like taking photos before. I always thought that I looked ugly in photos, like a country girl. But after seeing the Orange S1, my interest in taking photos was rekindled."

"It's over. I'm praying that my wife doesn't see this live broadcast, otherwise I'll probably have to donate all my salary this month."

"+1, I'm % sure my wife would clamor to buy it if she saw it."

"Damn, if all girls use this phone to take photos, will a lot of them die in public when they meet online?"

"You don't think you'll do that now?"

"But at least the current PS function is still very poor, it can't be compared with the Orange S1, and the photo editing is too simple."

No matter what era of mobile phone, the camera function is always a major selling point.

At the beginning of the design, Lin Bin's team put a lot of effort into this area and mobilized more than 200 technicians to continuously carry out research and development and debugging.

In Chen Pingjiang's own words, "We can't compare with Apple in terms of system tuning and algorithms, so we just use external plug-ins."

There is an old saying: "Everyone has a love for beauty." Even today, this statement is still true. The "beauty selfie" function that is required in all subsequent smartphones is the best proof of this.

However, in the early days of smartphones, although smartphones including the iPhone and Samsung focused on mobile photography, their beauty technology was almost zero, and no one thought it was possible.

It was not until 12 when OPPO launched the world's first beauty-enhancing smartphone, the U701, that people realized that this was possible.

Chen Pingjiang worked hard to develop a beauty engine based on this phone.

Once upon a time, the sales of this beauty-enhancing mobile phone exploded, thanks to female consumers, and it even became the most powerful Android camera phone of the year.

As a result, various mobile phone manufacturers later focused on selfies and beauty, and came up with "dual-camera zoom, four-axis anti-shake", "poster-level selfies" and so on.

Chen Pingjiang accepted the cheers from the audience like a king.

“The world’s first beauty camera, you deserve it!”

If the previous appearance is acceptable, the emergence of the beauty camera is no less than a huge shock to the industry.

The business leaders who were watching the live broadcast had their brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"How can we compete with this? It directly targets female consumers." Samsung's China manager was frowning. The two mobile phones were released at almost the same time, and the Galaxy S was outdone.

Lei Jun, who was determined to make mobile phones, also felt a chill in his heart: "I thought it was an opportunity to make mobile phones now, but suddenly there is such a strong competitor in the industry. Is there still a chance?"

The beauty camera function hits the soft spot of female users. Women's money is easier to earn, so Lei Jun is almost certain that this phone will be snapped up by female users.

If you add the excellent configuration and appearance of the phone itself, male users will not be able to escape it.

Suitable for both men and women!

Lin Bin and Zhou Guangping looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

This is the real killer feature of Orange S1!
When Chen Pingjiang proposed the concept of beauty camera, they were very shocked. It was a genius idea to integrate photo retouching and beauty functions into the photo taking function.

In comparison, autofocus and face recognition are child's play.

Chen Pingjiang's voice continued: "In order to provide everyone with a better user experience, we also use the world's largest 1930 mAh battery. After our testing, it can achieve an ultra-long standby time of 120 hours, completely solving the anxiety of battery life."

In the following period of time, Chen Pingjiang quickly went over the processor, supported frequency bands, and some less important functions as usual, and solemnly introduced OrangeUI.

This is also the biggest difference from other Android phones.

“In OrangeUI, we’ve reduced the app icon size, changed various background colors, and have multiple themes to choose from.”

“Pursue ultimate simplicity, ultimate beauty, ultimate humanity, and ultimate personalization.”

"Pull down from the upper right corner of the Android phone screen to switch directly to the quick settings page. In this page, we can choose to turn on or off WIFI, Bluetooth, flight mode, ringtone volume, screen brightness, and also add eye protection function, flashlight, breathing light, etc. From now on, we can say goodbye to complicated operating habits and no longer have to spend half a day to turn off Bluetooth."

"The functional components of the phone can be customized, and there are also different theme templates, date, weather and so on."

OrangeUI was almost completed under the supervision of Chen Pingjiang, and it is very much in line with the mainstream aesthetic of future mobile phones.

"This UI is much better than previous phones. You don't even need to look at it to see that it was designed by Renren's engineers. The style is consistent."

"You can always trust Mr. Chen's aesthetics." "In comparison, my current HTC interface is so ugly that it looks like a product of the last century, and it is not convenient to use."

"I am a little worried about the price of this phone now. With a large screen, metal frame, long battery life, the first beauty camera function, and a beautiful UI, I feel like I would be sorry for this phone if I don't sell it for 5 to 6000 yuan."

"Oh, no, I'm just a student and I can't afford it."

"If it's only 5 to 6000, I'll buy three at a time and replace them for my parents as well."

"The UI alone is worth the price, it's comparable to iOS, or even slightly ahead."

"The guy above, are you so conservative? You are clearly far ahead!"

"Please don't announce any other features. If there is any more black technology, I won't be able to afford it even if I sell my kidneys."

"..."

If it were not for the cost constraints, Chen Pingjiang really planned to add HIFI chips to mobile phones. It is also very simple. Just add CS8422 and DAC decoding chip CS4398.

But he can't empty out all the stock at once, so Chen Pingjiang plans to use it as the main selling point for the next generation of Orange mobile phones.

It doesn’t mean that cramming all the functions into a mobile phone will make it a good product.

"We have solved the problem of Android system freezing for a long time to the greatest extent possible, and focused on making it smooth and seamless."

"The phone comes in two versions: 8G and 16G, and comes with earphones and a charger."

Chen Pingjiang's speech was coming to an end, so everyone watching the press conference knew that the highlight was about to begin.

The price will be announced soon.

Amid everyone's expectant eyes, Chen Pingjiang leisurely took a bottle of mineral water and drank it, whetting their appetite.

"Does everyone want to know how much this phone, which has both good features inside and out and is equipped with so many high-tech features, will cost?"

"miss you!"

"Then guess what?"

Suddenly there was a commotion in the audience.

"6999!"

"5999!"

"4999!"

Chen Pingjiang laughed loudly: "What you said is not right."

"Fuck, Mr. Chen, don't be so ruthless. 6999 doesn't seem right. Could it be 7999?"

"It's over, it's over, I feel like there's no chance of it."

"HTC and Samsung are both 4999, the Orange S1 will definitely be more expensive than them."

At this time, two S1 mobile phone models were posted on the big screen.

Orange S1, 8G = (?) yuan
Orange S1, 16G = (?) yuan
"The price of the 8G version is..."

Chen Pingjiang paused halfway through his speech, looked around, and after seeing a group of people looking as if they wanted to eat him up, he suddenly shouted, "3299 yuan!"

The DJ on the scene was very tactful and played some dynamic music. The lights kept flashing and the atmosphere in the venue reached its climax.

"Fuck, I didn't hear that?" Some audience members stood up excitedly and applauded wildly with laughter.

"Mr. Chen, I love you so much." A female fan was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed security guard.

"Oh my god, this is a loss-making business, phones with worse configurations and fewer functions than the S1 are selling for 4999, but the Orange S1 is only 3299?"

"Take my money, leave your phone, and you can go."

“This price is very reasonable.”

"..."

Competitors can no longer sit still.

"Fuck, are you sick? This phone of yours can be sold for over 5,000 yuan, but you have to sell it so cheaply. Making phones doesn't make money, so you use love to generate electricity?"

"Market disruptor! The world has gone crazy!"

"Hurry up and hold a meeting to announce a price cut. If you don't, we won't be able to sell anything."

"What a price butcher. He disgusts others but doesn't make any money himself. What's the point? Figure 160?"

The price of 3299 was the result of Chen Pingjiang adding 100 yuan. The original price was 3199.

If Chen Pingjiang does not take any action, it will be fine. But if he does take action, his purpose is to kill his competitors and also to make things difficult for the iPhone 4 that is to be released in the summer.

The price of 3299 forced HTC HD2 and Samsung GalaxyS to reduce their prices.

HTC said it was okay because it was released early and they had already reduced the price once when Samsung Galaxy S was launched.

In comparison, Samsung was in a really bad situation. Less than two days after the press conference, the 4999 yuan price tag was scrapped.

The actual machine won’t be released until next month.

I had to lower the price temporarily, otherwise I would not be able to sell it.

This pricing also made the person in charge at Samsung Electronics very angry. They wanted to strangle Chen Pingjiang for components, but they found out helplessly that Orange Mobile did not purchase any components from them at all.
