177: Shining K10 (Part 2)
After the video ended, Chen Chen returned to the center of the stage, turned his head, and looked at the various user needs displayed on the large screen, saying, "We have summarized the many requests users just made."
"These include metal bodies, fingerprint recognition, cameras, fast charging, batteries—all sorts of demands."
"After receiving these requests, I have to say, users really want a lot."
"They want a thin and light metal body, fingerprint recognition, and a great camera. Combining so many features into a thousand-yuan phone is truly not easy."
"Our team has put in a tremendous amount of effort and worked for a long time. I believe the product we are releasing today is built exactly according to everyone's needs."
"This is the Shine K10 we are bringing to everyone today!"
"The Shine K10 has many selling points, such as the fingerprint recognition feature that only flagship phones usually get to use."
"Let's take a look at how much phones on the market that support fingerprint recognition currently cost."
"Fruit 5s, 5,899; Samsung Galaxy S5, 4,899."
"And our ROC Phone, 3,499 (the price after a 200 yuan reduction)."
"The price of this set of fingerprint recognition modules is very expensive, but to satisfy the wishes of our users, I gritted my teeth and added the fingerprint recognition function to our Shine K10."
In 2014, putting fingerprint recognition on a phone priced under two thousand yuan was truly a bit of a 'dimensionality reduction strike.' One must know that even the top-tier version of the Xiaomi Note 1 released a few days ago didn't use a fingerprint recognition module.
As for the others, they weren't even worth mentioning.
Of course, they didn't adopt the more expensive side-mounted fingerprint solution, but instead placed the fingerprint recognition module on the back of the phone.
"Regarding the screen, our Shine K10 is equipped with a 1080p resolution screen jointly tuned by us and China Star. It has significant improvements in viewing angles, saturation, and contrast compared to ordinary screens."
"This screen size is 5.5 inches, and the equivalent PPI reaches a staggering 410 PPI!"
"A screen that surpasses Retina level!"
"As for the body, we have also adopted an all-metal build with a curved edge design on the casing, allowing this 5.5-inch phone to fit the palm comfortably without digging into the hand."
"In terms of the battery, we have equipped the Shine K10 with a Yangtze River Battery with a capacity of 4,800mAh. Only a battery with our energy density could allow the Shine K10 to have such a thin and light feel."
"I remember a Rival Company saying that every time we at Red Star Mobile Phone talk about thinness, we use calipers to measure the thinnest part of the phone. This time, I will directly measure our overall thickness for everyone."
The large screen also scrolled to show a caliper measuring the thickness of the Shine K10. "This is the thickest part. This time, no one should be able to say that Red Star Mobile Phone's thickness is falsely advertised."
"Only 8.1mm thick."
"What is the battery capacity of phones with a similar thickness to this?"
"I looked up a few recently released phones. First is the Rival Company's p series. What is its thickness and battery capacity?"
"2,500mAh. That's almost half of our Shine K10."
Below the stage, Yu Chengbei's face was a bit dark. 'You're amazing, you're so noble.'
'What are you showing off with that Yangtze River Battery?'
'You've been showing it off for almost a year.'
Every press conference, he had to bring up the battery, either comparing battery capacity or thinness. This time was just great—he was comparing both at once.
'If I had the Yangtze River Battery, I'd have the P7's battery capacity over 4,000mAh in a heartbeat.'
Lei Jun was sitting nearby with a Big Mouth grin. This time Chen Chen didn't use the newly released Xiaomi Note 1 for comparison. Who told you, Yu Chengbei, to give the P7 a 2,500mAh battery?
Comparing it with you is the only way to show the gap and make it more shocking.
"In terms of photography, the Shine K10 uses a 16-megapixel main camera capable of shooting 1080p 60fps video. It also supports 36 levels of real-time beauty enhancement, which, paired with our Red Star camera optimization, can present even better imaging results."
"This time we also made some changes to the flash; it's a dual-tone flash that can emit a softer light."
"As for the front lens, it uses an 8-megapixel camera, which also supports 36 levels of real-time beauty enhancement."
"As everyone knows, Red Star Mobile Phone's fast charging is the fastest in the world. This 'fastest' doesn't violate any advertising laws; it truly is the fastest in the world."
"This time, we have brought a 40-watt rapid charging experience to this Shine K10!"
"Challenging across classes isn't just talk; we dare to challenge any product."
"So, how much is such a Shine K10, which dares to challenge across classes, going to cost?"
Chen Chen put his hand to his ear, as if listening to the audience's voice.
"President Chen, 1,998!"
"Make a friend, President Chen, 1,998!"
"I'll say a number, 999! President Chen, put up the link!"
"President Chen, 1,599!"
The audience below was shouting all sorts of things, while some viewers watching the live stream were holding their breath, waiting for Chen Chen to announce the price.
Fingerprint recognition, wow—that's a configuration only found in proper flagship phones.
Red Star had never trickled down the Yangtze River Battery to products under 2,000 yuan before. Well, not exactly never; there was a 2+16GB limited edition for 1,998 during the red star 3rd generation, but almost no one bought that, and Red Star stopped production after selling a few tens of thousands of units.
"All-metal body, fingerprint recognition, a flagship processor, a large battery, and rapid flash charging—for such a masterpiece that dares to challenge across classes, the Shine K10, our price is—"
"1,899!"
As Chen Chen shouted "1,899," the audience below instantly erupted in excitement.
Fingerprint recognition and a Yangtze River Battery for 1,899, plus faster 40-watt charging—this price is incredibly attractive, isn't it!
For other manufacturers, this was a complete dimensionality reduction strike. Who else has such a large battery, such fast charging, and on top of that, a fingerprint recognition function!
"At 1,899, Shine is still extremely cost-effective!"
"A true flagship, daring to challenge across classes!"
Chen Chen pressed the remote in his hand, and the price and configuration of the Shine K10 appeared on the large screen.
