Chapter 1015: Three Input Methods
The threat of Penguin, Nokia is the one that feels the most real.
They were ready to take on the Penguin Company before.
It's just that I didn't expect to wait for 8 months.
Still, that's fine.
Lopp was even happier.
If it had been 8 months ago, Lope might not have been too sure.
After all, at that time, Lopu didn't know whether Beyond the mobile phone could be recognized by the market.
At the same time, Loop was also worried at the time whether Penguin would launch its own product soon.
But that's all in the past.
Time has proven that Nokia's smartphones are real smartphones.
He has been recognized by the market.
At the same time, Nokia has also made a lot of profits after these 8 months of sales.
Now, Nokia has big ambitions to fight with Penguin.
Although, Nokia knows that in terms of overall company cash flow, Nokia is not as good as Penguin.
But Nokia just wants to tell Penguin that Nokia is the overlord in the mobile phone area.
On the same day, under the leadership of Nokia, a question about Meizu's smartphone was overwhelming and came instantly.
The first thing to question is the renderings of Meizu's smartphone.
The first thing for them is to talk about things with renderings.
According to the experts, this is just a rendering. What are the renderings, that is, they are not real photos.
He's just a computer-embellished photo.
Whether the real Meizu smartphone is so beautiful or not, and what it looks like, we don't know.
So, please stop this adoration for fans.
When you see the real thing, how do you evaluate it?
And that's just one of them.
Second.
The narrow bezel design of the Meizu smartphone.
Oh, do you think Penguin understands technology?
The world's well-known mobile phone companies, don't they consider the mobile phone bezel?
Do you know why the bezels of your phone are so wide?
You think that they will not know to do narrow.
This is because, the narrower the bezel, the more he cannot guarantee the security of the phone.
When your phone suddenly drops, the bezel phone is probably going to be finished immediately.
But those phones with well-protected bezels, even a few more drops, are fine.
Among them, Nokia mobile phones are an example of extremely stable security.
I guess that's something Penguin can't think about.
Third, Meizu smartphones have no button design.
Suffice it to say that Penguin is really too young.
Young enough to think that as long as he innovates, he can attract the whole world.
As long as there is innovation, such a product can be sold.
But as everyone knows, this kind of innovation without buttons has no meaning at all.
First of all, the first question, how will he type without buttons?
We certainly know that Penguin can use a virtual keyboard.
Yes, folks, although you may not know it now, we can explain it to you as well.
There are many companies that have considered keyboardless mobile phones, and they know how to implement them.
The answer is that with the virtual keyboard, he can implement the input problem.
This virtual keyboard is the keyboard that was touched with a stylus.
Obviously, Meizu smartphones will also use this technology.
But this technique is good that he can implement inputs.
However, he has one of the biggest problems.
His input efficiency is very, very slow.
Quite a few friends who have used the touch pen to touch, they have been responding. The touch pen looks new, but the typing speed is very slow, nowhere near as fast as the keystrokes. In the same way, we believe that the input of this touch virtual keyboard of Meizu smartphones is not much faster. Not only is it not going to be much faster, but we also think that he is prone to error.
Yes, probably many people don't realize this.
It's actually quite simple, how big is our screen?
And how big are our fingers?
If you operate it in the way of a capacitive screen like a Meizu smartphone, then he has to touch the virtual keyboard with his fingers. The contact area of the finger is undoubtedly much larger than that of the touch pen. Maybe the previous touch is only the problem of slow input efficiency that he may have brought to him, but he also has a small touch pen, but the accuracy of input has been guaranteed. However, this kind of finger, which is dozens of times larger than the touch pen, touches the virtual keyboard with him, we can't believe it, can he click on the letters?
Don't be at that time, this touch looks innovative, but with a finger press, God, why always press wrong.
Also, one more point.
Capacitive screen smartphones, he is not the first Penguin company to invent a patent.
As early as the last century, IBM introduced the first generation of touch phones.
But do you know why IBM's mobile phone failed?
The reason is simple.
It is because touch mobile phones do not meet our actual needs.
This is destined to be a product that looks beautiful, but does not work to use.
Finally, let's talk about the price.
Although Penguin has not announced the price of Meizu smartphones for the time being.
But with the pee of Penguin, you don't have to guess to know that this will be another $1,000 smartphone.
$1,000.
Think about the prices of other phones around the world.
At $1,000, he is twice the price of Nokia's surpassing phone.
At the same time, it is also 4 times the price of other ordinary mobile phones.
It's normal to think about it, though.
Penguin is not an orthodox hardware company in the first place, and they never consider the feelings of users.
If they could, they wouldn't have launched some virtual goods.
Everyone knows that the virtual goods developed by Penguin that don't need a penny can also be sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Even, some tens of thousands of dollars, have also had.
Speaking of which, if you are still willing to pay for this mobile phone, then I can only say to you, rich and capricious.
Nokia's response can not be described as forceless or unprofessional.
Their riposte directly hit the Meizu generation's once puzzling problem.
Including how he typed without buttons. Even his narrow bezel technique has nothing to criticize him. In fact, of course, they know that this bezel technology is a classic. It's just that when attacking others, you have to keep your eyes open and tell nonsense. Moreover, what they said is not unreasonable. Indeed, the narrower the bezels, the less it is possible to guarantee the security of the phone.
Major forums, as well as major traditional media newspapers, including some television media, have reprinted this commentary.
There are media who watch the excitement, and they were also very interested in such commentary news for a while.
Needless to say, it's a fight.
Naturally, they like to watch the fight.
As soon as the discerning people saw it, they guessed that this was a fight between Nokia and Penguin.
The Meizu smartphone launched by Penguin is aimed at Nokia Beyond.
And some such comments, although they are not exposed to Nokia, but they should also be Nokia.
One is a mobile phone overlord, the other is an Internet giant, but it is also a new electronic company.
The two companies will collide with what sparks, they are very much looking forward to it.
Therefore, these media who watch the excitement can't wait for the two of them to fight.
Moreover, they are still on the sidelines, fanning the flames to their heart's content.
What penguin Zhang Ning has always looked down on Nokia.
He also said that Nokia was going to drive the penguins out of the mobile phone market and so on.
How to say, how to have a topic.
Undoubtedly, such comments, such topics, have successfully attracted the public.
After the appearance of Meizu smartphone renderings, people also have more thoughts.
What if I buy it back and don't type well?
I'm very resistant to stylus typing, and I feel better with my fingers, but when I think about it, my fingers are so big, and the screen is so small, how can I type. 26 letters, can you hold it accurately?
It looks like another phone that is easy to break.
Buy it or not, let's see first.
Some of the audience shook their heads.
However, for this, Penguin Company opened a positive response the next day.
This response is not an official announcement from Penguin.
Again, it is not a response to such comments.
Penguin's response was a short video.
The video clip is of typing using a Meizu smartphone.
You can see it in the video.
More than a dozen friends participated in the filming of the video.
The first to star is a man who is texting a friend.
Originally, there was no keyboard in the SMS interface, but when I clicked to enter, a virtual keyboard suddenly appeared.
Moreover, he is also a 26-letter English full keyboard.
Soon, this friend directly used his right finger to touch the 26 English letters.
Words and letters kept knocking out of his fingers.
It only took a few seconds for a sentence to be typed out by him.
Look at the speed, it's not slower than typing with a key.
It's even a lot faster.
In order for everyone to see more clearly, the camera once again zooms to the screen where the friend is typing with his fingers.
The picture is clearer.
One can even see the moment the friend's right finger touches the screen.
Just a little light, like a dragonfly dotting water, one point away, no sound, no sound, but the screen has been under the touch of a finger, constantly tapping out the letters, words.
The text messages are also constantly being edited.
The second person to perform typing was a woman.
This woman is still typing by touch.
However, unlike this friend, the female actor does not use a full keyboard with 26 letters.
He uses nine keyboard inputs.
The so-called nine-keyboard is also the keyboard seen in traditional mobile phones.
Such a keyboard does not correspond to one letter per key, but three letters in a single keyboard.
This kind of keyboard has the advantage that it does not need to display all 26 letters like an English full keyboard. Because, it's too much of a position. And, maybe for some people who don't have very flexible fingers, they will feel that the 26 letters are distributed in various places, and they feel that there is some inconvenience in manipulating. Although in fact this is not the case, as long as the use is customary. The input mode of the 26 English full keyboards is faster and more convenient than the 9 keyboard. But still, to take care of these people, Meizu smartphones also offer nine keyboard inputs.
Obviously, for this kind of nine-keyboard input that everyone is more familiar with, this seems to be a little simpler.
He doesn't need more precise input. And, for the screen size, the nine keyboards also look a lot bigger.
At the very least, you might feel that you can't make a mistake that way.
And people don't feel that it's going to be wrong.
After all, the entire screen is divided into nine keyboard grids, each of which is very large in size.
As long as there is no problem with the eyes, he can operate it.
In fact, it is.
The second female friend also typed very smoothly when using the nine keyboards.
Just a light touch, word by word, letter, are exemplified.
Again, he's so fast that it's no different from typing with a key.
After the second place, it is the third place.
The third is a middle-aged man.
It seems that the middle-aged man is not very good at typing, and he also finds it troublesome to type with a keyboard.
However, Meizu smartphones still meet their input needs.
After the full keyboard and the nine keyboards, Meizu smartphones provide another input method - handwriting mode.
Yes, handwriting mode.
This model is more innovative than the so-called full keyboard and nine keyboards.
And what is called handwriting mode.
As the name suggests, it is a handwritten mode.
In other words, he doesn't need to press keys, you just need to write with your fingers, or write letters, and that's it.
As for where to put your hand to write, it's also very simple, put it on a writing board.
You have to ask where the tablet is, on the phone screen.
Yes,You can see,There is a box for the mobile phone input method,You just need to write in this box。
The middle-aged man was quick to make a demonstration.
What he wants to type is hello.
He wrote the letter hello directly on the phone board.
At the same time, the system also quickly recognized the handwritten hello, and it barely took a moment for the hello to be distinguished, successfully entered, and turned into a text message.
Although in terms of speed, handwriting mode is a bit slower than the 9th keyboard type, and even slower than full keyboard type.
But there is no doubt that the emergence of the handwriting mode has brought convenience to many people.
He made many friends who couldn't type finally be able to use text messages.
At least, you can not fight, but you can write directly.
This is convenient for many middle-aged and elderly people.
This is the third place.
Fourth place.
The fourth bit does not bring another input method.
The fourth person is performing in different ways and using different input methods.
He started with one-finger input.
Then, after one-finger input, the friend used two fingers.
For example, 26 all-English keyboards.
Use one thumb on each side, and each thumb on one side.
Once again, the typing speed has improved.
After the fourth, there is the fifth.
The fifth is a Chinese.
He used the pinyin input method, and what he typed out was Chinese characters.
Next, he used the stroke input method.
The sixth is a Japanese who uses a Meizu smartphone and types in Japanese.
Then, Korean, German, French...... A series of languages are written through Meizu smartphones.
9 minutes, the whole video is only 9 minutes.
Nine minutes later, the entire video ends.
When this video is released, the whole world is no longer calm.
I didn't expect the touch input to be so fast.
It's really an eye-opener.,Support all-English keyboard,Also support nine keyboards。
The most powerful thing is that it supports handwriting.
I used to think it was slow to touch and type, but now that I look at it, it's very fast, it's very fast.
After this video comes out, I want to see who dares to say that touch typing is slow.
Those who doubted Penguin before, let me die.
Don't look at what company Penguin is, do you think they're going to push a semi-finished product to you to use?
No need to say more.
With only one video, he not only responded to his previous doubts, but at the same time, once again promoted himself.
Moreover, the intensity of this propaganda is even more popular than the previous propaganda.
In particular, when people see several input methods displayed by Meizu smartphones, it is not a certainty.
That's just amazing.
Transcendence also says that it is a real smartphone.
Can it be compared to a Meizu smartphone?
Not to mention anything else, just taking the typing, beyond can only use the keys to type, he can't be in English yet.
Can't speak all in English, can he write by hand?
