443: Chapter 443 Finding "Pigeon" to Endorse Glory
At this moment, Lei Jun was once again pinning his hopes on this large sum of money; it was the lifeline that could allow him to crush Honor and defeat Transsion.
After all, he had bet everything on them; how could Qualcomm and TSMC dare to drop the ball now...
Perhaps one day, Xiaomi would become an international brand just like Apple!
Lin Bin watched Lei Jun, who was giggling incessantly, not knowing what wonderful vision he was thinking of, but compared to his furious state just a moment ago, this condition was at least better.
He didn't say anything more!
But soon his fantasy was shattered, because Zhao Ming started firing shots again.
"This time, our entire honor 8 series comes standard with a massive 5400mAh battery. Combined with the extreme energy efficiency of the Taishan 920s and the LCD screen, the overall battery life reaches an astonishing two and a half days."
Sitting in the back, Shen Fei watched the launch event and even suspected whether Zhao Ming was a "hater."
But thinking that "Gege" wasn't that famous yet and was still a complete nobody in the entertainment industry.
However, this actually gave him an idea: to invite him to be a spokesperson...
After all, just because he was a nobody now didn't mean he would be one in the future. If he could sign a long-term contract in advance, it might save a significant amount of money!
And this could also count as an angel investment in "Gege."
Just as Shen Fei was preparing to satisfy his own twisted sense of humor, the audience at the venue gasped again.
"In contrast, our peers are still using batteries just over 3000mAh, and some manufacturers are even using batteries with only 2000-plus mAh."
"Especially a certain Snapdragon 801 model, where battery life is usually only 3 to 4 hours. In particular, a certain Note series requires three charges a day as the norm."
"If you don't carry a 20000mAh power bank when you go out, you wouldn't dare to leave the house at all."
[Apple: Actually, that's not true. I'm still using a battery starting with the digit 1, and the battery life...]
"Haha, but what should I do if I can't laugh? After all, I bought the xiaomi note series, and after using it, I immediately became a Xiaomi hater..."
"Zhao Ming was still being conservative; the competing brand's Note series can be used to fry eggs directly."
"Snapdragon 801, the eternal inner demon of all manufacturers. It can't be optimized, it really can't be optimized!"
"Such obvious disparagement, can't you tell? What kind of Smartphone can last two and a half days? Isn't this just pure bragging?"
"I suppose only the fans of a certain company could passionately believe it?"
The PPT on stage also flipped to charging.
"After talking about battery life, let's talk about our other major advantage: the honor 8Pro is the first to be equipped with 33W super fast charging."
"To charge this large 5400mAh battery, it only takes 30 minutes to go from zero to 70%."
Of course, this segment couldn't be without disparaging competitors, so before Zhao Ming could react, he turned his head to look at the big screen, where two columns appeared.
"One of our competitors A is still insisting on their ancestral 5V 1A 5W fast charging. What kind of concept is this?"
"You plug in the charger before going to sleep at night, and it won't even be full after charging all night."
"If you forget to charge it at night, you have to charge it for at least an hour before you can go out. Combined with their excellent signal, otherwise you'll be unreachable, and no one will know where you've gone."
"Of course, our competitor B isn't much better; they are still insisting on using Qualcomm's Micro USB fast charging solution, but it only supports 18W fast charging at most. With their technology, it can only stabilize at around 12W, and it takes a very long time to fully charge a battery."
Many people in the audience nodded, especially those who were currently using Xiaomi phones, who also nodded instinctively.
After all, in other aspects, Honor might be smearing them, but in terms of charging, Honor was indeed far ahead.
With the same 18W rating, Honor was just much faster, and most importantly, their batteries were even larger!
This was just impossible to compete with!
"But if you use the honor 8, and wake up in the morning to find it has no power? You don't need to worry at all..."
Zhao Ming's tone became very infectious at this moment.
"Just plug in the charger while you're brushing your teeth, and in just 20 minutes, it's enough for you to use for a day."
"From now on, say goodbye to the bad habit of leaving the charger plugged in all night, and you won't have to carry a brick-like power bank in your pocket every day."
Thunderous applause rang out again, and many complaining voices in the live stream chat started up again!
"The fast charging technology is indeed good, but why isn't anyone else updating theirs?"
"Blue and Green say: even without it, we sell very well!"
"Xiaomi says: Shen Fei stole so many of our solutions, and he still wants us to pay to buy his solutions? How is that possible? We might as well wait for Qualcomm to open-source!"
"The person above didn't say it that harshly, but Xiaomi really has to look at Qualcomm's face; otherwise, if they cut off the chip supply, that would be troublesome!"
"It doesn't need to be that harsh; just throttling the software program is enough."
Zhao Ming continued to flip the page, and the front rendering of the honor 8Pro appeared on the big screen again.
"Next is one of our biggest surprises this time."
As soon as his voice fell, an unlocking animation appeared on the screen.
A finger gently touched the bottom of the screen, and a soft circle of light quickly spread out. The lock screen interface unlocked rapidly within 0.2 seconds, and the naked eye couldn't see any lag at all.
"Second-generation Under-display Fingerprint unlocking, global debut on the honor 8Pro."
The corners of Zhao Ming's mouth turned up completely, like a victorious rooster.
"As a second-generation technology, it not only improves the unlocking speed but also greatly enhances security."
Amidst the audience's confusion, a slow-motion comparison video appeared on the big screen. On the left was the transsion s5, with an unlock time of 0.33 seconds, and on the right was the honor 8Pro, with an unlock time of only 0.23 seconds.
"Everyone might think this difference is nothing, just the time it takes to blink."
Zhao Ming on stage changed back to that serious engineer look, carefully explaining these issues to all the audience.
"But this 0.1-second improvement is the result of our engineers spending three whole months optimizing the unlocking speed from 0.33 seconds to 0.23 seconds."
"Why do this? Because good technology must be better with each generation."
"Honor cannot let down the technical foundation they gave us, and even more so, cannot let down the consumers who believe in us."
Just as all the audience members were preparing to applaud, Zhao Ming suddenly changed his tone, and his voice became aggressive.
"Unlike a certain competitor, it's 2014, and they're still playing with rear fingerprint unlocking. Every time you unlock it, you have to turn the phone over and touch the back cover, which is both inconvenient and ugly."
"I won't mention which company it is; everyone knows in their hearts."
There was another burst of laughter and applause. After all, Apple had its own fingerprint unlocking method, so this little unlucky guy could only be Xiaomi.
However, the cursing from everyone didn't last long, because four question marks appeared on the stage, with the name of a phone in front.
At the same time, a mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Ming's face!
"This time, our honor 8 digital series not only has very sincere specifications but the price is the same as well."
