Chapter 43 New Ideas for Buying a Machine
What kind of new mobile phone to buy, for Sun Cheng, this is really a big problem. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For him, who doesn't use his mobile phone very often, maybe it would be good to buy another feature phone.
But now the concept of smart phones has become more and more popular, and the increasingly fierce battle between 'mobile Internet and traditional Internet who is the future' around the world undoubtedly clearly shows that it has come to a point in time.
Because he has the ability to connect to a computer, Sun Cheng naturally hopes that the traditional Internet will not decline.
But he is not the kind of stubborn person, only from the trend of more and more young people around him using smartphones to surf the Internet, Sun Cheng still vaguely grasps the corner of the future, and sees that the rise of the mobile Internet is an inevitable trend.
The trouble of choosing lasted until he came to the electronic city near the school, walked from the first floor to the fourth floor, and walked around almost the entire electronic goods hypermarket, Sun Cheng returned to a mobile phone store he had visited before and picked out a Nokia N8 mobile phone.
"How do you sell this phone?"
In the end, after using Nokia for a few years, Sun Cheng was deeply impressed by this European brand, so when buying a mobile phone, the first thing that came to mind was the brand he was familiar with.
In charge of the Nokia N8 counter was a young woman who looked to be in her twenties, and when she saw someone asking for her mobile phone, she had a good memory and looked at the young man in front of her, and quickly remembered that he had also walked around the store before.
Thinking that the other party was likely to have the intention of buying a mobile phone, she suddenly came to her senses and greeted enthusiastically: "Sir, you are really good eyesight, and you immediately took a fancy to one of the two best mobile phones in our store." This Nokia N8 sells for 4799 yuan, it uses the upgraded version of the new Symbian S60V5 - Symbian 3 system, and now the purchase also comes with a pair of Bluetooth headsets. ”
Although I don't know what the hell Saipan 3 is, when it comes to Saipan S60V5, Sun Cheng has some impressions.
The Nokia 5300 he used before was equipped with the Symbian S40, and his roommate's Nokia 5800 was using the Symbian S60V5.
In the past, Sun Cheng had checked on the Internet and knew that although these two systems belong to the same Symbian series, the former is based on the Java platform of the mass market, which is for low-end feature phones, while the S60 series serves the mainstream semi-intelligent and intelligent terminals.
I've heard that there are different versions of Saipan such as S80 and S90, but I don't know what the difference is.
Sun Cheng nodded, although he felt that the price was a bit high, but after thinking about the quality of Nokia, he felt that it should not be a problem to buy a mobile phone for three or five years, so he asked directly: "Can I get a prototype here, I want to give it a try!" ”
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Obviously, the mobile phone store also knows that it is impossible for people to buy such a valuable mobile phone without even trying, so they have also prepared a batch of prototypes for trial.
The saleswoman shouted to the back, and soon a young man with thick-bottomed glasses came over with a Nokia N8 that had been turned on.
"Sir, please try it, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me!"
"Thank you!"
Sun Cheng took it and fiddled with it directly, he had also used the third child's 5800 before, so it was not that he had not used a smart phone.
With the Nokia 5800 used in the past as an analogy, after groping for a while to feel the performance and screen sensitivity, Sun Cheng was quite satisfied.
However, he was not in a hurry to buy it, because he remembered that the saleswoman had just mentioned that the Nokia N8 was just one of the two best phones in their store, and he couldn't help but become a little interested in the other phone, and then asked: "The N8 feels okay, I remember you mentioned it just now, it is just one of the two best phones in your store." So what is the other one? ”
"It's this iphone4, but its price is a little more expensive, the 16G memory version is 6488 yuan, and the 32G memory version is 6999 yuan!"
Good guy, through the tempered glass on the counter, Sun Cheng was startled when he glanced at the two small things with a delicate design, one black and one white, which were placed inside.
As soon as the saleswoman mentioned the name of the mobile phone, he immediately reacted, knowing that she was talking about the Apple mobile phone that had recently caused a huge sensation at home and abroad.
However, because the Internet has been flooded with news about it recently, Sun Cheng also noted that its price in the United States of America is only four or five hundred dollars, which is equivalent to three or four thousand national dollars.
But it was such a mobile phone, which was sold at a high price of nearly double in China, and the moment he reacted, he even had the idea of turning around and leaving.
Is this a black shop?!
The saleswoman obviously grasped the change in the expression on his face, and hurriedly explained: "Sir, Apple's mobile phone has just landed in China, because the sales are really hot and the supply is seriously insufficient, so we now have the goods in our hands to raise the price and get the goods from the dealer." Of course, if you're not satisfied with the price, you can buy it a few months later! ”
Who still buys it a few months later!
Sun Cheng muttered in his heart, he was going to take an N8 and leave directly, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity about this mobile phone that has been mythologized by domestic and foreign media, so he asked: "Take one and give it to me!" ”
"Okay!"
The young man with thick-bottomed glasses immediately ran over and took a white iphone4, and the moment he reached out to take it, Sun Cheng was immediately shocked by the cold metal sensation from his fingertips.
"Huh!"
Holding it in his hand and gently checking it, and looking at the exterior design carefully, he quickly understood that it was not for nothing that this phone continued to sell well around the world.
Although the N8 is also an all-metal body, just looking at the exterior design, the iPhone 4 has a more industrial aesthetic than the N8.
After opening the phone, he clicked in, and after trying several mobile apps in a row, he already had a choice in his heart.
"If you can give me some discounts, I'll buy an iphone 4!"
He raised the white phone in his hand and said to the saleswoman.
Although the price is more than a thousand more expensive than the N8, and Sun Cheng only tried it for a short time just now, he still quickly decided to buy this phone.
It's not a good look, just now he deliberately tried the mobile phone in double open, multi-open, running several software at the same time, obviously felt that the iPhone4 still has room for performance, and the same flagship machineN8 is not so smooth, and even slightly stuck.
Sun Cheng has been studying system optimization recently, and naturally understands that this situation means that the system software and hardware optimization of iPhone4 is much stronger than that of N8, which makes him interested.
Since yesterday he deduced the speculation about the mysterious light sand, in order to verify, in the evening he found half of the vulnerabilities about the domestic operating system - Kirin version 7.0 were exposed on the Internet, Sun Cheng is actually ready to temporarily give up the idea of continuing to develop a desktop-level operating system.
However, after temporarily abandoning that immature entrepreneurial work, Sun Cheng has now felt that he may have found a new opportunity.
For example, develop an operating system for mobile devices, especially smartphones and tablets.
The more Sun Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, because although the exposure rate of mobile operating systems has always been far less than that of desktop operating systems applied on computers, in terms of coverage, operating systems for mobile devices are more widely used.
For example, drones, projectors, digital cameras, video cameras, mobile phones, tablets, and even various smart home appliances and even cars actually need to design a separate operating system for them.
It's just that in the past, no giant has noticed this, so manufacturers have developed different systems for their own products.
Texas Instruments has developed an operating system for its own projectors based on the Linux open source system; Nokia acquires Saipan; Apple was born, iOS and more.
There has never been a company like Microsoft that has developed a universal operating system for mobile devices with the same needs.
In a sense, Sun Cheng has always felt that Google, a foreign search engine giant, has shown a high degree of foresight in this field.
As far as he knows, Google acquired a company called 'Android' a few years ago, and developed a mobile-oriented operating system based on the Linux open source program, and announced that it would open source the system, trying to dominate the market.
Countless thoughts flashed in Sun Cheng's mind one by one, he looked at the saleswoman with joy in her eyes and an extremely embarrassed face, and continued without waiting for her to speak: "You think about it first, if not, call your boss to come out and talk to me." You know, I don't just want to buy an iPhone 4, I need a Nokia N8 and a phone with Android! ”
With the idea of developing a mobile operating system, this trip to buy a mobile phone is no longer purely for him to buy a mobile phone, and the price that he originally felt was black enough is not so dazzling.
“…… Do you really want to buy three phones at once? ”
The saleswoman looked happy, and even the glasses guy standing next to him couldn't hide her surprise, and they all looked at him incredulously.
"That's right!"
After Sun Cheng nodded and confirmed, the saleswoman first asked him to choose an Android phone to determine the total price, and after thinking about it for a while, she quickly offered him a preferential price.
