62: Please welcome the first contestant to the stage.

In the blink of an eye, July arrived, and the melee in the smartphone circle over "who is bigger," which netizens had been following, was about to begin.

The first to appear is contestant number one, Meizu.

Let's see what surprises contestant Meizu can bring us.

Contestant Meizu actually brought their own BGM today!

This is a Meizu tradition; otherwise, why would a Meizu launch event be called a concert?

Let's see which guest they invited!

It's actually GALA!

"Where exactly is the world full of flowers? If it really exists, then I will surely go."

"I don't seek anyone's satisfaction as long as I'm true to myself. Regarding my ideals, I've never chosen to give up..."

Alright, after the two songs by the GALA band, our Meizu contestant has taken the stage. Walking towards you now is the President of Meizu—Mr. Bai Yongxiang. His Mandarin is quite "authentic."

"Old Bai, I love you!"

"I love you too,"

"Hello everyone,"

"Welcome to our Blue Charm product launch event. 2013 is very special for Meizu. We released the MX2 last year, and in April this year, we released Flyme 3."

"And Flyme 3 has become the best operating system on Meizu phones."

"For Meizu, everything in 2013 is just a beginning. So, today, Meizu will take a new step."

"Today, we will introduce Meizu's brand new sub-brand—Blue Charm."

"At first, we were full of ambition and wanted a high-end, grand, and classy slogan for this new brand."

"There are many words that reflect the Meizu spirit. For example, idealism. If it weren't for idealism, we wouldn't have made the M8, the first large-screen smartphone in Mainland China."

"For example, the spirit of craftsmanship. Meizu's founder, Jie Wang, has poured more into the products than the founder of any other brand."

"For example, 'Never Settle.' Meizu is a company that won't compromise. For example, 'Born for Fever,' we have always stood at the forefront of technology to bring everyone the most 'feverish' products."

When the first few words appeared on the big screen behind Bai Yongxiang, there were only occasional cheers from the audience. But when "Born for Fever" appeared, the entire audience boiled over.

Those who came to the launch event were either Meiyou or smartphone enthusiasts and media. Everyone knew about the history between Old Huang and Lei Jun.

Chen Chen also leaned over to look at Lei Jun and found that he was just smiling, revealing his signature dimples.

"Unfortunately, all of these have been used and said by Rival Companies. Looking behind the Meizu slogan, it's empty. There are no high-end, grand, or classy words. So, I asked Li Nan, what's going on?"

The lights on the scene all went out, and then a chibi-style head of Bai Yongxiang appeared on the big screen.

"He told me that Meizu doesn't have a slogan because, just like making products, Meizu demands perfection for its slogan, so it hasn't been decided yet. Then the good words were taken by other brands."

"I said this is due to historical reasons and can't be entirely blamed on you. Then Li Nan said something that deserved a smack."

"'No marketing is the best marketing.'"

The audience could tell who this was implying. Led by the atmosphere group, they began to cheer.

"Rival Company has already proven that this sentence is pure nonsense."

"We must face the problem head-on. Only if Meizu adheres to its idealistic pursuit and bravely makes the products it likes with the spirit of craftsmanship will the products speak for you. Only if Meizu pursues the ultimate, never settles, and produces a sufficiently 'feverish' product, will the product speak for you."

"Since we are clumsy with words and our marketing isn't as good as others, let's just show you the product."

"Today, we will introduce Meizu's brand new product, Meizu Blue Note."

"The Meizu Blue Note is a phone built for the younger generation. It has the consistent high quality of Meizu phones. So, as a quality phone, we must first ensure the wireless connection system keeps up with the requirements of this era."

"I know everyone asks 'is there WiFi?' wherever they go now. So, to allow everyone to get online quickly, the Meizu Blue Note is equipped with dual-band WiFi. The maximum downlink speed can reach 150Mbps per second. As long as your home internet is fast enough, the Meizu Blue Note will definitely satisfy your efficiency."

"Of course, most importantly, we also equipped the Meizu Blue Note with a powerful processor. It's also the world's first 8-core processor. It makes the Meizu Blue Note the first 8-core phone among Meizu phones, and also the world's first 8-core processor phone."

"Its 8 cores can be called upon at will according to the needs of the task, without any restrictions, and the clock speed of all cores has reached 1.4GHz."

"8-core 1.4GHz, very strong performance. PS: A modification was made here; the MT6592 is a processor released by MediaTek on November 20, 2013, and it supports 4G. It is not supported here, but will be supported in the MT6592 Enhanced Edition."

"And we also equipped the Meizu Blue Note with 2GB of high-speed flash memory. We also compared it with the phones released by Rival Companies in the first half of this year."

As the comparison with hongmi 1 appeared on the big screen, with various bar charts and app launch times, it was leading in almost every aspect.

"As you can see from the big screen, compared to the Rival Company's phone, the performance of our Meizu Blue Note has improved by 46% overall. This is a very large improvement, completely crushing the Rival Company's 4-core phone."

"In terms of cameras, our Meizu Blue Note is equipped with an 8-megapixel rear camera, and the front lens has also reached 5 megapixels, supporting beauty technology."

"We added cost to the Meizu Blue Note and equipped it with a larger battery, reaching 2940mAh, making the battery life of the Meizu Blue Note more durable. These are the battery life data for our Meizu Blue Note. You can see that in every aspect, it surpasses the Rival Company's products by an era."

"Actually, these comparison data look a bit messy, and you might not remember them. So, you only need to remember that our Meizu Blue Note can last for a full two days."

"A full two days!"

"Recently, Rival Companies seem to be competing on who is bigger. The screen of our Meizu Blue Note is unprecedentedly large, reaching 5.5 inches. A screen of this size can bring a better viewing experience and grip. As for the Rival Companies' bigger and bigger, it's completely unnecessary."

"It's all gimmicks!"

"The quality of this screen is also excellent. It is a screen we specially customized from LG for Meizu. The resolution has reached 1280*720p, and the peak brightness has reached 450 nits."

Following Bai Yongxiang's introduction of the configuration, he pressed the remote control, and the appearance of the Meizu Blue Note began to play on the big screen, with various colors scrolling continuously.

"It comes in 5 colors, each representing a unique personality. It adopts a brand new design and is the most vibrant product in Meizu's history."

"And this is the first time Meizu has used a polymer nanomaterial unibody. So you can't see any trace of a seam. Incredible texture and excellent hand-feel are concentrated on this Meizu Blue Note."

"Youth can be used for enjoyment, but it must not be wasted on waiting. So we equipped the Meizu Blue Note with 18W fast charging."

"We know that although young people are still in the process of struggling, they have some very pragmatic and real needs. They want big screens, large memory, and large batteries, but they also understand art, appreciate craftsmanship, and focus on quality. This is our motivation for making new products."

After Bai Yongxiang finished this sentence, he pressed the remote control in his hand, and the price of this phone was finally revealed on the big screen.

2+16 1199

2+32 1299

"The Meizu Blue Note is right here. Rival Companies are welcome to take it and compare."

"We at Meizu insist on making high-quality products for the youth!"

"That's all for this launch event. Thank you, everyone."

When the event ended, Chen Chen looked at Lei Jun and found that he had no expression, seemingly thinking about how the next products should benchmark against this Meizu Blue Note.

Compared to Lei Jun, what Chen Chen was more puzzled about was where Meizu got so much money to invest in thousand-yuan phones. Did the Zhucheng government invest, or did other institutions?

It must be said that the product competitiveness of this phone is indeed very strong, especially that "8-core processor" which is full of gimmicks.

8-core! It sounds exciting.

But as for MediaTek's 8-core, everyone who knows, knows.

Now that Meizu's launch event is over, Meizu is temporarily leading 1-0 with its 5.5-inch large screen, 2940mAh large battery, and dual-band WiFi. Next, let's welcome the next contestant—Huawei.

Let's see what surprises Huawei's "Bigger" can bring us.
