392: Chapter 392 Transmission S5 Launch Event

Unlike in the past, Google finally took the threat of Taishan System a little more seriously this time...

They decided to watch this Transsion launch event to see what kind of new technology the other side could actually bring out.

They would decide whether to follow up later; after all, according to the latest open-source agreement, Xiaomi, Vivo, and other Android manufacturers could work for them for free.

Instead of struggling to adapt it themselves, it was better to wait for others...

Time flew by, and soon it was November 18th, in Guangzhou, at the Olympic Sports Center.

This venue, which could accommodate 80,000 people, had released a total of 40,000 tickets to the public, yet many viewers were still complaining that they couldn't get one.

Half an hour before the transsion s5 launch event, the plaza outside the venue had already turned into a sea of red.

Transsion's red flags were already fluttering all over the plaza.

To console the viewers who hadn't managed to get tickets, some exhibition stands had been set up outside the entrance to showcase some of Transsion's previous products.

What disappointed these viewers was that the transsion s5 was not on display.

Transsion had already taken four of the top five spots on the trending search list.

#China's First 4G Smartphone#

#Full-screen Display#

#Taishan 920#

#Will Shen Fei Tell a Story Today#

Xiaobai Unboxing arrived an hour early, filming with a camera on the periphery, and before entering the venue, he even posted a special video.

"Hello everyone, Transsion is releasing the S5 today, and the specs have already been mostly leaked online.

Full-screen Display, Taishan 920, Under-display Fingerprint... but the specific parameters are still unknown. Once the launch event begins, I will be waiting for the final results along with these 40,000 audience members.

I hope there will be surprises!"

Not long after the video was posted, the view count soared.

"Uncle Bai, which one would you choose, the transsion s5 or the Apple 6 series?"

"Does it really support 4G?"

"But 4G base stations haven't even started being built yet. What's the use of Transsion developing this technology? Isn't it just making consumers pay more money?"

"A bunch of fools at the scene! Apple 6 is still more cost-effective..."

"To the Apple fans above, without Transsion, could you even buy the Apple 6 for 4100?"

Unlike in Shen Fei's previous life, the starting price of the Apple 6 released in September was actually only 4099, and with the China Unicom carrier plan subsidy, it was as low as 1999...

But its market share was not as explosive as last time; after being on sale for over three months, current sales had exceeded 700,000 units...

Yes, the comment section. Many Apple fans were showing off their antique phones, but most people following Xiaobai Unboxing were looking forward to today's transsion s5...

After all, whether in terms of appearance or technology, this was an epoch-making phone.

At exactly 7:00 PM, the venue lights gradually dimmed.

A countdown began playing on the big screen, but what was different was that this time, every second of the countdown was accompanied by heartbeat-like drumbeats that grew faster and heavier.

The 40,000 people in the audience and some of the viewers outside the venue began to breathe faster.

Three, two, one.

As a beam of light illuminated the stage, Shen Fei instantly appeared.

"Hello everyone, we meet again. Today's launch event will be an epoch-making one!

And when the leaks came out a few days ago, I said that we might once again change the landscape of the mobile phone industry?

However, the Android system we use for a fee might not be able to keep up in the short term—everyone knows their actual code is a bit bloated—so we are once again recommending that all partners use our system, which is free, open-source, and very reliable!"

A round of loud applause immediately erupted from the audience, especially when they heard Shen Fei recommending Taishan System once again...

Taishan System was now at version 5.0, having gone from catching up to being completely in the lead. However, although it was very mature, domestic manufacturers still firmly chose Android.

At this moment, the bullet comments in the live stream also began to fly by rapidly!

"Stop talking about Taishan System, hurry up and bring out the phone!"

"Sigh, if Taishan System is so good, why don't domestic manufacturers dare to use it?"

"Chip manufacturers don't support it! Besides, if they really chose a domestic system, then the chips, screens... seriously, if they chose Transsion for all the parts, wouldn't that be working for Shen Fei?"

"Then you're proud to work for foreign manufacturers!"

"You can't say it like that, at least it's a bit safer..."

The debate about the supply chain in the live stream broke out again, and after waiting for a while, Shen Fei finally got to the main topic.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to talk about the product; instead, he followed Lei Jun's example and started telling a little story.

"Before the launch event starts, I would like to share a little story with you all.

This summer, I took my wife to the hospital."

On the big screen, images of Shen Fei holding Zhang Mingzhu's hand on their way to the hospital appeared.

"We weren't going for a check-up; we were visiting a friend's child.

The child is only 12 years old, but their eyes are already highly myopic, at 430 degrees.

The doctor said it was because they had been looking at mobile phone screens since they were young. The screen was too small, the text was too small, and they had to get very close, so over time, their eyes were ruined."

A picture appeared on the big screen.

It showed an old children's ophthalmology clinic with an eye chart on the wall, and a little boy sitting in front of an examination instrument with his chin on the rest, eyes wide open.

"I sat in the hospital for a long time that day.

It wasn't just these children; there were even more middle school and high school students, and of course, even more adults.

Later, I chatted with the doctor, and they said that 10 years ago, the myopia rate for elementary school students was only about 5%, and for middle school students, it was about 10%. Now, this proportion has increased fourfold.

Then the doctor sighed and said that it was just because conditions were better now that students could access electronic products, and those mobile phone manufacturers...

The doctor scolded them for quite a while. I don't know if he recognized me or not, but he just went on... after all, I am considered a celebrity."

Here, Shen Fei also laughed.

His laughter also drew a round of laughter; after all, as the founder of Transsion Technology and having appeared on CCTV, his fame was quite high.

Although Shen Fei had kept a low profile since getting married... the probability of being recognized by a local doctor in Guangzhou was still quite high.

"I believe our marketing department has already explained the concept of a Full-screen Display to everyone, so let's not just talk about technology; let's talk about why we wanted to make a Full-screen Display."

Shen Fei gently pressed the remote control, and the same text appeared on the screen.

Then, some questions from the audience appeared below...

"We saw the questions everyone raised. Some say the Full-screen Display is for aesthetics, others say we did it for a sense of technology.

But for me, the Full-screen Display is about making the screen bigger and the phone smaller.

With the development of society, it's impossible to completely keep children away from electronic products. How to make them more eye-friendly is a question we have been thinking about."

Speaking of this, Shen Fei added: "Technology is not for showing off; technology is for making people live better."

The applause from the audience lasted for a long time, and then Shen Fei spoke again: "So today, with the transsion s5, the era of the Full-screen Display has arrived."
