Age of Dreams

The mid-range mobile phone market in China is brewing energy and preparing to explode.

Many smart electronics manufacturers in the world have never stopped their footsteps.

For example, on May 15th, a company under Microsoft suddenly released its second mobile phone-g2.

Xiao Qi's intelligence department had not received any news before, and most of the people had been kept in the dark.

When I waited on the TV and the Internet, the g2 advertisement was suddenly released, and there was a refreshing feeling.

This g2 with the same hue as previous products is mainly white and black, and a more beautiful silver version is also added.

Basically, Xiao Qi looked at the back of it, and there was a different matte material in the middle that looked like a scar, and knew that the prototype of this phone should be the g18 that was only launched in 2011.

This mobile phone launched at its peak has been very popular in previous lives and has created a lot of sales.

However, the design of the main body of the g2 is different from the full round, flat, and three-chin case of the series. Instead, it becomes a narrow tonal edge and a symmetrical control panel up and down. The OK button in the middle of the bottom becomes a Microsoft graphic.

And the size has changed from 4.3 inches of g18 to 5.3 inches, which is 2 inches larger.

After watching g2 carefully for a while, Xiao Qi reacted.

Damn it!

How to add the design function style of the first product released by Microsoft and Nokia in September 2013?

Surprisingly. Two products that were originally unmatched, through the combination and deployment of Microsoft and engineers, they actually have a very bright and refreshing feeling.

Especially the same 5.3-inch screen as Dreamstars. Although it is not as delicate and supple as Dreamstars, it is very good whether it is held in the hand or used in advertisements.

Take a closer look at the configuration of g2.

Support 3g and, weight 220g, system interface, quad-core Qualcomm cpu. The system memory is 2g, and the body memory is 16g and 32g. The battery is 2500 mAh.

The configured camera is 5 million pixels on the front and 10 million pixels on the back. It uses Microsoft's unique face recognition function and screen display function. You can take better and clearer photos.

In addition, Microsoft has more than 130 technologies used in it, which can make the system process faster and respond more sensitively, whether it is processing mail or games, you can do it with ease.

Microsoft's pricing this time also continues the kindness of the previous g1.

The 16gb version is $399, the 32gb version is $466, and the silver version is $20.

Calculate the RMB 16gb is 2800, and the 32gb is 3200.

Although at first glance, the 16gb version of g2 is only tens of dollars cheaper than the previous g1, but in terms of functional configuration. The two are not of the same grade and level.

In Xiao Qi's view, if the appearance of the g2 can be scored 65 points, then add these configurations and functions. And at a moderate price, at least 80 points can be scored.

Xiao Qi's score for 2 is only 85 points, and his dreamstars is only 90 points. This shows how good g2 is in Xiao Qi's eyes.

Xiao Qi has seen more types of mobile phones than anyone in the world, so he has a view on the aesthetics, development history and so on of mobile phones. Xiao Qi knows it clearly, knowing that if the real machine is used on the g2, it is as good as it is advertised. Then g2 will stand out from the siege and directly enter the second group to be on par with Samsung. It is not difficult at all.

It seemed to verify Xiao Qi's idea.

As soon as g2 announced its release, a new g2 mobile phone prototype was placed in more than 500 direct stores and more than 300 Microsoft product experience stores around the world for everyone to play with.

"Hehe, I finally look forward to it! The strong cooperation between Microsoft and Dreamstars is really getting better! The previous g1 is not bad, but this g2 is very experienced! Although it is a bit inferior to Dreamstars, it can already be felt. The sincerity with Microsoft has come, and they are slowly catching up!"

"It's so beautiful! Hold it in your hand, as if you are holding a laptop. The feel of the product and the Microsoft system work together, and it is a pleasure to look at it! I have used the Microsoft system for 10 years, and now I change my mobile phone. After becoming a Microsoft system, it feels like I don’t need to re-adapt at all, and it’s easy to use."

"Have you noticed that playing **** Fengyun games on this phone is very smooth, even if it is in the fighting state of the camp, it will not freeze. Except for the details, the glitches around the screen and the color reproduction are all worse than dreamstars. Some, and the rest of the system's processing performance is very good, not worse than 2."

"What a joke! As long as Microsoft works hard, it is definitely better than Apple. Decades ago, Microsoft could beat Apple to the bottom, and they will do the same in the future. Look! Microsoft will join in the future, the Fairy Company and Apple, life will not be so easy anymore!"

"Well, I very much agree with this opinion. This time, Microsoft really did it with great care. I tried the camera function and audio function, and they all met my expectations. The 32gb version for $466 is not expensive, and I think I can buy it. Come give it a try, maybe it's more cost-effective than Dreamstars?"

"..."

This group of Microsoft and fans are happily, and they are naturally a little less careful in their speech. Many people belittle other phones and praise g2.

Now other mobile phone fans are dissatisfied.

"Hey, don't you look like the best in the world, okay? Look at the classic look, no matter how beautiful than your g2, right? Ask the fashionable women, do they like 2 or g2? There are some things that you can’t say I won by just stacking up the configuration."

"That's right! Compared to the products of my fairy company, what is Microsoft? What is it? Dare to compare with Dreamstars? You can't even compare with w? Normal students who have no money, just use w is enough ! Is the price/performance ratio of w achieved by you?"

"Tsk tusk, I laughed. I didn’t plan to change to a second brand with Dreamstars! Yes, I admit that Microsoft is working hard this time, and g2 is also surprisingly good. But whether you are better than system optimization, better than cpu performance, or With more novel and dazzling features, how can you compare to Dreamstars? There are more than a dozen sensors, this time the g2 is not equipped with half, right?"

"Look, I think g2 should be the fourth largest seller of smartphones under Fairy, Apple, and Samsung this time. However, it has too strong rivals and has divided most of the market. g2 I'm afraid it is more difficult to have the expected performance."

"I'm putting it down here. G2 can sell half of Dreamstars' sales in a year, and I'm taking a swim in the Seine!"

"..."

People on both sides kept cursing at each other on the Internet and during interviews.

But everyone in the industry knows that these wins and losses are actually of little use.

The most important thing is to look at the specific reservation purchase quantity of g2 after advertising and trial play, which is the best way to judge.

Microsoft didn't let everyone wait long.

Twenty-four hours after the official release of the product, that is, at 9 am on May 16, the official websites of Microsoft and Microsoft posted a number.

Three hundred and seventy-eight thousand two hundred and fifty-six.

This is the number of global reservation purchases made by g2 in one day.

Although this appointment purchase is not like the fairy company, which requires payment, the cancellation rate is not high, 70% to 80% can be achieved.

Now is not the same set that Nokia and Motorola played back then, and relying on their fame can attract countless fans vying to buy.

At that time, a group of fans who bought smartphones from Nokia and Motorola had long been swearing at them on various occasions. Most of them gave up their favorite mobile phones and replaced them with fairy, Apple or Samsung. Phone.

Fans nowadays, except for the **** fans of Apple and Fairy Company, most people look at the quality and cost-effectiveness of the product. Whose mobile phone is good and cheap is the most popular.

This is the reason why W immediately sold 40 million units a month ~www.readwn.com~ and it was absolutely in short supply!

Although g2 is limited to cost and positioning issues, I dare not sell it too cheaply, but this price configuration, coupled with the brand of Microsoft and, is already very sincere. Everyone feels that it is better than Samsung's mid-range mobile phone m2. less.

Therefore, there are now jaw-dropping pre-sales.

The Android camp is naturally scared and a little weak. With so many big companies in it, they are actually no better than a Hua Guobao brand?

At the same time, the first time the sales came out, Qiao's gang leader and Li Jianxi called Xiao Qi successively.

Their expressions are very solemn, and they obviously attach great importance to Microsoft's shots.

Everyone has a feeling.

The wolf is coming! !
