104: Chapter 104 Please don't let it be 1999

While they were discussing, a comparison chart appeared on the big screen again.

On the left was a flagship phone from a certain brand priced at 4999, and on the right was honor play.

"First, let's take a look at the screen comparison.

This is an international competitor. Everyone says their company pioneered the Smartphone era, so let's have a proper comparison.

First of all, we both use HVGA screens, meaning the resolution is both 320x480 pixels, but our size is 1.5 inches larger than theirs, offering a larger display area.

This way, when everyone is playing games like fruit ninja and plants vs. zombies, the screen will appear larger...

honor play 1, wishing you all super plays in your games."

There was some scattered laughter in the audience.

Some dual-wielding users nodded silently; the Huawei Mate1 was indeed better for gaming than Apple, as Apple's small screen was truly too straining on the eyes...

"As for the processor, we have an 845MHz enhanced version of the 6573.

However, ever since MediaTek learned that we possessed the relevant technology, they rushed to collaborate with us. But they were very cunning, renaming the enhanced chip to MTK6575."

At this point, he paused deliberately. The big screen originally displayed the old 6573 model and its relevant parameters, and then, like magic, the number three was erased and changed to a five.

The related parameters were also changed, and they even fabricated a wiki entry for it.

MTK6575: This chip is an upgraded version of the 6573, with the main frequency increased from 650MHz to 845MHz, a 30% performance boost, and a series of other issues optimized...

Such as decoding issues. It belongs to a cross-generational upgrade, solving MediaTek's inherent problems.

"Then, the pricing for this chip was increased from the original $40 to $72, making it a proper flagship chip.

But rest assured, when we calculated the material costs, we still used the original price, so buying this phone is a bargain for everyone."

For the first time, a real commotion erupted in the audience...

Some tech bloggers hurriedly picked up their cameras to take photos.

Lei Jun, who had just calmed down, suffered a massive critical hit once again.

Huawei's procurement price was directly half of theirs; fortunately, they didn't have this chip, otherwise...

However, this also meant that Chuan Yin Group's supply chain integration capability was already strong enough to force chip manufacturers to agree to their outrageous proposals.

He recalled in 2003, when Kingsoft was making WPS Office 2005, Qiu Bojun went to Microsoft to discuss the office compatibility agreement. The other party didn't even let him into the conference room, simply brushing him off with a product manager...

But now, as an upstream mobile phone supplier, MediaTek had already become China Star's little brother.

... The chip was an old friend after all, so Big Mouth Yu mentioned it briefly and moved on.

Using this chip at this price point was absolutely leading the pack.

Soon, they reached the charging section.

"Regarding charging, during our last Mate launch event, I gave everyone a primer. Current chargers are generally at 5W, but they don't actually run at full capacity, usually staying between 2~3W, and it takes a long time to charge the battery fully.

To solve this problem, we slightly modified a universal charger and were the first to stabilize the power at 5W for long periods.

It only takes 3 hours to fully charge a 3000mAh battery.

But this time, we have brought an even more leading 10W fast-charging technology, bringing the charging time to under one hour!"

Big Mouth Yu picked up a charging adapter, then his mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he kept his mouth shut.

After all, after the last launch event, Mr. Ren specifically emphasized to him: Huawei's terminal business is still in a development phase, don't use so many catchphrases, as it's easy for consumers to misunderstand.

Although Big Mouth Yu was very restrained, Xiaobai Unboxing in the audience still read those words through lip-reading: leading the pack.

He smiled knowingly; he had video material again.

A new comparison animation appeared on the big screen, with Mate on the left and Honor on the right.

A true warrior is one who steps on their own big brother.

In the animation, Honor's charging speed was like riding a rocket; the numbers changed every minute, sometimes by one, sometimes by two.

In the end, it only took 58 minutes to reach 100%.

The Mate1 next to it, using the modified universal charger, only reached 34%. This huge gap caused many people in the audience to open their mouths wide in shock.

"58 minutes!"

Big Mouth Yu repeated the number: "From now on, you will never need to plug in your charger before going to sleep. The time it takes to wash up and eat in the morning is enough to charge it for work."

The launch event was ignited once again; this time the atmosphere was even more heated, with some people starting to whistle and others starting to applaud.

In the guest seating area of the launch event, China Unicom's head, Wang Jianzhou, looked at the reaction behind him and nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, he had made the right choice.

As long as this was a success, not to mention filling the big hole left by Apple, his position was at least secured.

Big Mouth Yu didn't try to suppress the crowd, letting these emotions be fully released. After the applause lasted for more than 10 seconds, he continued.

"Battery life: 2500mAh battery combined with the excellent power consumption of the MTK6573, 9.2 hours of continuous video playback, 11 hours of 3G talk time, 240 hours of standby (about 10 days)..."

He paused slightly and continued: "I know what you want to ask? 2500mAh is 500mAh less than the Mate, is it enough?"

A complex test curve graph appeared on the big screen.

"Yes! Because our international competitor only uses a 1200mAh battery, so this is still a super-large battery for us.

And we still use a detachable design. As long as you purchase during the initial launch, you can buy a spare battery at a very favorable price."

Speaking of this, he looked up at the audience again.

"Making a product is not about stacking parameters. It is about making the smartest trade-offs within a limited cost."

Another round of loud applause erupted at the scene!

... In terms of the system, it was definitely Taishan OS version 1.6, mainly fixing some bugs (deleting some code) and further enhancing fluency...

But it wasn't a pure-blood version, so Big Mouth Yu still breezed over it.

After introducing these important features, the launch event reached its final stage. After finishing these important features, Big Mouth Yu also clearly told consumers about some of the cut-down areas.

For example, the plastic middle frame and plastic back cover, the High-density battery from the Mate was cut down to a regular liquid lithium-ion battery, and NFC was cut...

Lei Jun sat in the audience, his fingertips unconsciously gripping his palms tight.

The hardware of the honor play 1 almost surpassed the Xiaomi first-generation that he had been designing in his heart for a long time; it couldn't beat it in terms of screen and processor, but it was close.

At the same time, compared to the Mate1, this product could also go toe-to-toe. It even took a step ahead, bringing out 10W fast charging as a launch selling point...

Every parameter was like a heavy hammer striking his heart; the high cost-performance ratio of this product was enough to shake the entire market and instantly put his plan into an extremely passive situation.

Pressure surged like a tide, and he could foresee what kind of uproar would break out at the scene once the price was announced.

After introducing those cut configurations, Big Mouth Yu paused slightly.

Lei Jun's heartbeat, however, inexplicably accelerated, his Adam's Apple rolled slightly, and his eyes surged with emotions that were complex to the extreme.

There was unwillingness, solemnity, the irritability of being completely intercepted, and a longer trace of luck that even he dared not admit.

He stared fixedly at the stage, with only one voice screaming crazily in his heart.

Please, don't let it be 1999!

Please, don't!
