Chapter 353: Xphone debuts!
Lin Feng also wants to be like Old Joe, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, to hold a special product launch for the Xphone.
It does look like a dick that is!
However, Lin Feng is still self-aware, in the final analysis, Cool Wind is a newly founded company, and it cannot be compared with the old giant Apple in terms of industry influence, media and user appeal.
And Lin Feng himself, although he is now known all over the world in fame, when it comes to "Richard Lin", even in the United States, most people will "Wow, I know, that Chinese, the world's youngest billionaire!" ”
Just like in the previous life, the whole world knew about Xiao Za.
But that's it.
Steve Jobs spent the previous 30 years, from founding Apple in 1976 to redefine the personal computer, to the return of the king in 1996, using IMac to reorganize the country, using the iPod to subvert the global music industry again, and then in 2007, this time the release of the Iphone, claiming to redefine the mobile phone.
He has long been a "godfather" and "god" in the global computer and consumer electronics industry.
Lin Feng is now just making people feel "amazing" and think he is a business genius......
But it is far from Lao Qiao's kind of being respected and even admired by countless industry insiders and users from the bottom of their hearts.
This is the Iron Throne that Lao Qiao has created with 30 years of time and unparalleled achievements!
His historical position in the world's IT and consumer electronics industry is almost unmatched (except for Bill Gates).
Lin Feng didn't want to be like "Rebus", wearing the same black T-shirt and jeans as Lao Qiao, and holding a product launch conference that was almost exactly the same as the Iphone launch conference......
It will give people a feeling of "Dong Shi Xiao Feng", very LO!
He didn't want to be nicknamed "Limbus"!
When Xiaomi was released, Old Joe was no longer there, and Rebus could say that this was a tribute to Old Joe.
Now the Xphone and the iphone are competitors......
Steve Jobs is indeed the greatest man of his time in the field of smartphones.
But Lin Feng is not bad!
What he relied on was the innovation that took a decade to come up with with the brains of countless mobile phone designers, researchers, and engineers around the world (including Apple itself......
Every step forward in the smartphone industry is a massive amount of technological innovation and design innovation, which has cost tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in R&D funds from mobile phone manufacturers all over the world, and the direction and results obtained are all in Lin Feng's mind!
He may not understand technology, but he knows what the effect is, and naturally there are technology and R&D experts to achieve it.
It's a time difference!
No matter how great a person is, he can't break through the limitations of the times......
So Lin Feng thought, just use the product to speak!
At a top conference like 3GM, the Xphone was released so that all professionals in the industry could experience and feel for themselves the difference between XPhone and IPhone.
When the time comes, it is natural that there will be many people who are hostile to Apple to help the Xphone with publicity and promotion.
They wish there was a better product that could be used to compare to the IPhone.
proves that Lao Qiao's so-called "changing the world" this time is not much awesome.
You know, the release of the iPhone has brought too much pressure to everyone in the industry!
Maybe in Lin Feng's previous life, many people didn't know how shocked people were when the first generation of the iPhone was released......
Here are a few examples:
Within half an hour of Steve Jobs unveiling his star-studded new plaything, the iPhone was hailed as the god of mobile phones by countless bloggers.
"It's something we've been dreaming of for years: a music player, a camera, an email messer, a web browser, a mobile phone – all in one incredible and seductive box."
After witnessing Jobs' energetic display of that stunning moment, even the snarky observer was stunned.
"I couldn't sleep all night last night, and this Tuesday is so weird and weird, it's like we're in a hallucination that we're willing to be hypnotized...... For the first time in their lives, all those rock-cold technical columnists were staring at each other, as if they had reached a climax. Josh Quittner, editor of Business 2.0, commented.
In the past six months, Apple's iPhone has been the subject of 11,000 magazine articles, about 69 million searches on Google, people camping in front of Apple stores, and tech bloggers calling it "Jesus phones", all of which cannot but affect consumers.
Someone said: "I'm not waiting for IOS2.0 at all, you don't need new hardware to fall in love with the Iphone, let's put it this way, I met the iPhone like a teenager met his first Playboy" book"
Ars Technica, a well-known American technology blog, said: "We love the concept of the iPhone to death. Extremely easy to use, almost all functions can be mastered automatically; The interface is beautiful and user-friendly, surpassing any other mobile phone on the market (including smartphones), and it's pure fun to use. It's almost a perfect phone, the contract is bundled, and the price tag of $600 for 8GB is a bit hefty.
AnandTech: The iPhone may not be perfect (largely only EDGE support), but it's undoubtedly the furthest device going in the right direction. Today's great product will have a huge impact on the industry, and the average user will slowly realize that change is coming.
The New York Times: "Whether it's propaganda hype or fair reviews, it's fair to say that the iPhone is revolutionary." Despite its flaws, it's smart, it's stylish. It does what other phones can't do before, and it lacks most of the features of feature phones. The phone is so beautiful and slim that the Treo and BlackBerry are dwarfed. Swiping lightly on the glass screen is so elegant and concise. The software experience is the greater success it brings, which is fast, beautiful, menu-free, and extremely simple to operate. You'll never get lost, and at all times you'll be freed up by the Home button, which uses the various functions through the 16 icons on the home page.
The editor of Time magazine commented: "The email and web browsing experience is incredibly beautiful, and the crisp music and video playback experience is a plus." Apple has brought to the market a revolutionary device: a smart and sensitive touchscreen, creating a new user interface that perfectly matches it. My three-year-old daughter was able to learn to unlock her iPhone and make phone calls with it in an instant. ”…………
Yes, Lin Feng's upcoming Xphone is about to be released, and he has to face such an opponent.
Apple's iPhone has already set off a craze around the world, and although it has not yet been officially launched, it has long been famous.
It's not that no one is unhappy with the Iphone, it's just that you can't find a better smartphone than it......
Lin Feng just wanted to give them this opportunity.
Because, the Xphone is coming!
…………
At the GSMA Mobile Congress 2008, there was a lot of activity.
Operators and mobile phone manufacturers from all over the world appeared here to show their latest products and technological achievements to customers all over the world.
A series of conferences and forums have also been held, and industry bigwigs have sat down to discuss, conveying their respective companies' predictions of industrial development and confidence in new products to the outside world.
On the first day of the conference, the hottest news was undoubtedly LTE, a technology known as 4G.
Ericsson, Nokia Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent and others have made related announcements, and Qualcomm has also announced that it will launch LTE multi-mode commercial chips.
China Mobile, known as the world's largest operator, also announced that it will join the LTE camp and support LTE (Long Term Evolution) testing!
3G and even 4G networks have become the general trend.
However, the next day, a product launch event completely changed the hot topic of the Barcelona exhibition!
At 2 p.m. on February 12, at the AS-201 conference venue, Xmobile, an emerging smartphone manufacturer, held a product launch conference.
Officially released to the outside world: the new generation of smartphone Xphone!
In the afternoon, Xmobile's booth and the AS-201 venue where it was located were crowded with tens of thousands of manufacturer representatives and users.
Lin Feng wore a blue casual suit and black slacks, and walked heroically to the product launch platform specially built for Xmobile.
A large LED screen for the presentation has been prepared on the press deck.
A team of nearly 100 engineers from Coolwind from Silicon Valley and China has made preparations for the product release in advance. Including nearly 100 Xphone mobile phone prototypes that will be unveiled at the booth, IFI network construction and 3G antenna signal enhancement on site.
Andy, Wang Hao, Li Yinan and other heavyweight R&D leaders were all present.
Xmobile also invited many related partners, such as Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs, Google CEO Schmidt, Samsung Vice Chairman Li Runyu, etc., as well as some Internet companies, such as Facebook's Xiaoza, Titter co-founder Jack Dorsey, etc.
Lin Feng used all the resources he had previously laid out this time, and he was ready to make a splash and shake the world when the Xphone debuted!
"Thank you for coming, today, I am very honored to introduce to you here, our Xmobile company after 3 years, the new generation of smart phones, Xphone!"
As soon as his words fell, a photo of Xphone appeared on the big screen.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but let out an exclamation, "Wow! ”……
The sound echoed and swept through the hall, and there was a dizzying sense of shock.
Yes, the Xphone that is being released now is very different from the "spy photos" that appeared in many media before, the photos used to compare with the Iphone, and what people imagine China to look like!
If someone who is reborn like Lin Feng will find that this Xphone is so much like an enlarged version of IPhone4?
Or, there's a more similar example from the outside, and that's the Samsung Note4!
The appearance design of the rounded rectangular shape, the front is a whole glass screen, the 4.5-inch screen is larger than the IPhoned 3.5-inch screen, and the design of the rounded corners looks round and elegant, which is very beautiful.
The side is a straight silver aluminum alloy metal frame design, and the back is also an aluminum alloy back shell, which looks atmospheric and stable.
The black "X" logo with a knife-like light is in the center of the back shell, with a camera and LED flash in the upper left corner of the back shell, and a maple red "Maple Leaf" icon in the upper right corner, which is the corporate logo of Cool Wind.
Compared with the curved back shell of the iPhone, the flat back shell of the Xphone looks cooler in terms of design!
"Thanks to our designers, the Xphone has a near-perfect look ......, I love it very much, and of course, it feels great in the hand!" Lin Feng said, took out a black Xphone from the inner pocket of his suit, and held it up to signal to everyone.
This scene made people start to applaud enthusiastically!
Well, Lao Qiao took it out of his jeans pocket, and Lin Feng took it out from his suit pocket.
He's hinting vaguely: more middle-class users, you can install your phone like this......
You know, most of the people who can really afford to spend as much as $500-600 on an iPhone or Xphone are middle-class!
"Now, let's take a look at how the Xphone performs."
Lin Feng did not choose to connect the mobile phone to the big screen on the demonstration table, but adopted the method of directly operating in his hands, and the camera on the scene directly reflected the picture he operated on the screen.
Although it is not as professional and technical as it appeared at the iPhone press conference, it is more vivid and direct, real and credible.
He pressed the Home button at the bottom of the screen, and the screen lit up.
It was discovered that at the lower end of the front screen of the Xphone phone, there is an oval button that represents the home button like the Iphone. At the same time, the two virtual button icons lit up on both sides of the home button are the return button and the menu function key.
The lock screen that lit up on the screen, Lin Feng chose his favorite starry sky picture, the dark blue starry sky and the bright and shining stars, which were impressive.
The most surprising thing is the Xphone's swipe unlock feature!
Lin Feng used his thumb to swipe from left to right to enter the UI interface of the mobile phone.
This was the most creative design of the iPhone back then, and now it has also brought a lot of impact to the people on the scene.
It's cool! Isn't it?
The UI interface displayed on the screen is slightly different from that of the IPhone, mainly due to the Android system carried, using the design of the Android secondary interface, the eye-catching position above the home page of the primary interface, is the weather, time, telephone, text message, camera and other common applications, with a built-in Google search box in the middle.
In addition, the most striking one is an App Store (app store).
Mobile phone, text messages and other common functions Lin Feng does not have much rendering, and there is not much difference between this aspect and Iphone.
He focused on the Appstore, a feature that Apple hasn't had time to launch yet, and it's also a big selling point for the Xphone.
"We are very pleased that Xphone has reached cooperation with many software and Internet companies around the world, and thousands of different apps can now be downloaded from Xphone's app store." As he spoke, he opened the App Store.
Under Lin Feng's instructions, the design of the App Store is very mature, including many categories such as social networking, games, audio, video, tools, entertainment, etc., which is very clear.
"Facebook, Youtube, Titter, Mixi, ......, the most commonly used social and entertainment software can be downloaded directly. In addition, we provide a lot of games, Xphone screen and Android system, which can support people to easily carry out various mobile game operations, in the near future, Vavle, Blizzard and other well-known game companies will cooperate with Xphone to develop mobile games based on Android system! ”
There was a round of applause from the audience.
You know, Facebook, Youtube, Titter, these are the most popular Internet applications now, and these companies are exactly the companies that Lin Feng once invested in, which is not available on the Iphone, but everyone is excited about the content!
At the same time, Lin Feng also knows that for European and American users, sending and receiving e-mails is a very important mobile phone function, which is also the reason why BlackBerry can be popular in Europe and the United States.
So he also explained the function of the mailbox.
"Xphone will provide built-in mailboxes including Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL, and the system directly presets support for these mailboxes, just fill in some email account information; As for other mailboxes, you can choose to add others in the menu, and set parameters such as IMAP, POP, and Exchange to realize mobile email services......"
In the end, of course, he does not forget to show his strengths.
The last picture of the speech is a PPT, on which the parameters of the Xphone are directly marked.
And these parameters are the fatal blow to the Iphone!
