402: Insidious Dawn Technology, four wailing hands

The high-end Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone features the Shuguang S3 (SE) dual-core mobile processor, T30 graphics GPU chip, a 3-megapixel rear OIS optical image stabilization technology camera, 256MB of LPDDR2 Memory, and 1GB of storage, priced at 4499 yuan.

Upon seeing the prices of the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone announced by Shuguang Technology, the people present felt a mix of disappointment and pleasant surprise.

The disappointment stemmed from the prices being much higher than many had estimated; even the cheapest model cost 3499 yuan, and the most expensive reached 4499 yuan, which was a bit pricey for many.

Of course, those with money didn't find it expensive; instead, they were conflicted about whether to buy the high-end Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 or the low-end Dawn S3, as their price difference was only a mere 500 Xia Yuan.

In this situation, whether to spend an extra 500 yuan on the Dawn S3 or save 500 yuan and buy the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 was a perplexing question.

However, based on Lin Chen's past life experience, he estimated that they would likely prioritize purchasing the Dawn S3 smartphone, which had less LPDDR2 Memory and storage.

Because although the price was 500 yuan more, the LPDDR2 Memory and storage were also a notch smaller.

But in terms of overall performance and perceived quality, the Dawn S3 smartphone was still more powerful; in terms of true cost-effectiveness, the low-end Dawn S3 smartphone was slightly better.

After all, Shuguang Technology didn't just randomly set this price point; instead, they deliberately created a price hierarchy, doing their utmost to facilitate comparison.

This was enough to make countless people agonize over whether to spend a few hundred more for one option or save a few hundred by buying the other.

As they engaged in multiple comparisons and deliberations, they would unconsciously choose the better, more expensive option, because the best and most expensive one seemed to offer the highest cost-effectiveness.

In this situation, they unconsciously fell into a consumption trap, unknowingly spending more money to buy a more expensive mobile phone.

This consumption trap is not only present now but will be even more common in the future; in his previous life, many people wanted to buy a mobile phone.

At first, they definitely only wanted to spend seven or eight hundred yuan on a cheap and practical smartphone, but as they compared the performance parameters of various mobile phones and learned more about smartphones.

After comparing back and forth, they would unknowingly purchase the most cost-effective smartphones priced at 1399 yuan or even 1799 yuan!

It can be said that as long as they compared the performance parameters of various mobile phones, unless they genuinely only had seven or eight hundred yuan, their final expenditure would often exceed expectations.

At this time, Shuguang Technology created a price hierarchy through the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 and Dawn S3 mobile phones, giving people the possibility of comparing and deliberating which mobile phone to buy.

In this situation, as they compared and deliberated, ultimately, apart from those with genuine financial constraints, people with a bit of money would certainly choose the better and more expensive option in their comparisons.

What's more terrifying is that they willingly chose the better and more expensive option, because this seemed to be the most "cost-effective" choice.

And this is the consumption trap!

Ultimately, under this consumption trap, Shuguang Technology's revenue would increase, and its profits would be even more astonishing, because the more expensive the products they bought, the more money Shuguang Technology would make.

At this moment, people were unaware of the hidden pitfalls of Shuguang Technology; they were happily discussing which mobile phone to purchase.

Among them, truly wealthy bigwigs directly set their sights on the mid-to-high configurations of the Dawn S3, while those with a bit of money were deliberating between purchasing the high-end Xinghuo Generation 1 or the low-end Dawn S3.

As for poorer consumers, they directly targeted the mid-range and low-end Xinghuo Generation 1.

Of course, if someone couldn't even afford the low-end Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1, then they weren't part of Shuguang Technology's user base.

They should just patiently wait for Dami Mobile Phone Company to release the Dami Mobile smartphone.

The Dami Mobile smartphone from Dami Mobile Phone Company would certainly not have OIS optical image stabilization technology, and its gaming performance would definitely be far inferior to the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1.

At that time, the process technology used for the chips would likely be the 130nm process, as the 90nm process had just been developed and was facing production capacity shortages.

At this time, it would certainly be impossible for all chips to use the 90nm process; facing the demand for chips in the low-end mobile phone market, the mature and high-volume 130nm process would naturally have to share the burden.

At that time, the dawn s2 mobile phone processor and T20 graphics GPU chip would likely be used by Dami Mobile, which could be considered a form of waste utilization.

Of course, people at this time didn't think so far ahead; after the press conference, Shuguang Technology also followed Nokia's lead and held an on-site promotional event.

However, Shuguang Technology was much more generous than Nokia, directly preparing a total of twenty thousand units of the Dawn S3 and Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phones in one go.

As for the results, when Nokia did this, it received a lot of negative reviews, but when Shuguang Technology did it now, it received a lot of praise.

The reason was that the actual performance of the Dawn S3 smartphone and the Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone was simply too strong, and people were extremely satisfied.

It can be said that after people's actual experience and comparison, how could the people present not show expressions of pleasant surprise?

Of course, for the reporters present, they didn't have time to experience the Dawn S3 smartphone.

At this time, they were rapidly sending the news drafts they had interviewed back to their media headquarters through their respective channels.

So, before long, media outlets from all over the Global reported on the Shuguang product launch conference.

"Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 Born, the Strongest Mid-Range Smartphone in History?"

This was the headline of the New Wolf Portal Website.

At this time, the Domestic Four Major Mobile Phone Giants, leveraging the timeliness of Internet news media, were the first to report on the Dawn S3 smartphone and Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone.

Of course, while paper newspapers and television news media were a step slower, they wouldn't fall behind; for example, the world's strongest news dissemination channel, TTCV News Broadcast, reported on the relevant news.

In the report by TTCV News Broadcast, TTCV News Broadcast spent a full minute reporting on the Dawn S3 smartphone and Shuguang Xinghuo Generation 1 mobile phone.

This shows how important the birth of the Dawn S3 smartphone and Shuguang Xinghuo mobile phone was to Daxia.
