Chapter 1351: New Players Enter

In August, Zhu Qiushui was out of confinement, and Boss Jia finally didn't have to be trapped at home, and set off for the United States to start preparing for the launch of the Daqian 3 mobile phone.

For all kinds of mobile phone manufacturers in later generations, what Boss Jia hates the most is what kind of press conference they have, can't they honestly publish the product data?

Clean all the bells and whistles.

But when Boss Jia really became the boss, he liked this conference very much, especially when his mobile phone had any cross-era functions, and he felt very cool to be able to introduce these functions on stage.

And the effect of the conference is also very good, which can bring huge sales to its products, and the audience is also very happy to watch, why not?

The only thing that is unpleasant is about Boss Jia's routine, which has been learned by Motorola and Nokia, and they also like to develop it, which is very unpleasant!

Does this count as plagiarism? Can you sue one?

And this year, Nokia and Motorola have held three or four mobile phone press conferences.

Well, in the age of feature phones, it is very common for a brand to launch multiple models every year.

It's not like now.,What a 12,But also with 12mini,12pro 12promax What the whole family bucket launched,People are serious about the launch,A variety of models,And it's basically different from appearance to shape。

For example, throughout '97, until August, Motorola has launched 7 different models, while Nokia has a little less, but there are 6.

Most of the new models launched by these two companies this year have added game features, and Nokia has obtained Nintendo's game license and has obtained porting licenses for many Nintendo classic GB games.

Motorola, on the other hand, has been licensed by Atari, the former gaming overlord who is still alive and launching consoles, just surviving.

It's just that I didn't expect that their original games in the pixel age could still create a good profit for them.

After all, this year's mobile phone can only add some pixel games or something.

However, afterwards, many professionals said that this is completely a copy of Daqian's mobile phone, and it is a shame that there is a little bit of independent innovation spirit that Mi people should have.

Well, the people of the United States would criticize their own people for plagiarizing the ideas of the Chinese people, which is simply unimaginable in another world.

So Motorola and Nokia are all working hard to launch a new super phone to completely defeat the arrogance of Daqian.

It's just that this year, the three of them got together to hold a press conference at the same time, which is obviously impossible, and finally Nokia took the lead and released the Nokia 8810 on June 8.

This is a phone that Nokia is extremely proud of, first of all, in terms of appearance.

After the launch of the flip phone last year, this year's Nokia broke through again and launched the world's first slide phone, and it seems that Nokia is going to fight to the end on the cover.

Compared with the flip cover, the slide cover is obviously cooler, and for a while, with this shape, the Nokia 8810 has attracted countless fans.

However, this time Nokia is not just polishing the appearance, on this phone, there are many new features that Nokia is proud of.

The first is the alarm clock function, although the display time is already the standard configuration of all mobile phones, but the alarm clock is installed on a mobile phone, it is the first, this is indeed an innovative feature of Nokia.

Then there's the calculator feature, which is also the first new feature to appear on smartphones.

In addition, there is Notepad, although this notepad only allows users to enter no more than 27 English words and make up to 8 records, but it is a real notepad that can help users record some key information when they can't find pen and paper.

Anyway, Nokia has really put a lot of effort into the new mobile phone this time, both the shape and the function are very perfect, although the final price is the same as last year, it is 2999 US dollars, but compared with last year, it is really progressive, but no one says that this price is wrong.

Then there was the press conference held by Motorola, but apparently, Motorola miscalculated because their new phone actually collided with Nokia again.

Motorola also designed a mobile phone with a slide function this time, but it is very unfortunate that the final style of the mobile phone is similar to Nokia, if you don't rely on color and some details, many people can't even tell who is who in these two mobile phones.

In fact, the research and development of these two mobile phones started simultaneously, and there is no question of who copied whom, but because Nokia released it first, this caused Motorola to become very passive, and the final released mobile phone was accused of plagiarism.

But fortunately, in terms of function, Motorola still has innovation, although it has collided with Nokia on the alarm clock and calculator, and Motorola does not have a notepad yet!

But Motorola has a voice notepad!

Although users can't memorize things with text, they can turn on the recording function and record a voice to remind themselves, which is even taller than Nokia.

And since returning from Huaxia, Christophe's head seems to have opened up, and he no longer thinks about what price he can't lose to Nokia, especially when he learned that Nokia's new machine is still $2999, Christophe hit the price of $2499 a unit, which is $500 cheaper.

Motorola's new machine detonated the audience in an instant, although it was released two weeks later than Nokia, but it only took a week for sales to catch up with Nokia 8110.

Nokia was also embarrassed, and directly announced that it would hold an event, and the price was temporarily reduced by $500, and the customer who spent $2999 to buy a Nokia 8110 wanted to jump off the building.

But don't look at Nokia and Motorola are hot, but they are still keeping an eye on Daqian, because Daqian's latest mobile phone has not yet been released, God knows if Daqian 3 will launch any new features against the sky.

It's just that Daqian 3 hasn't appeared yet, and two brand new competitors have suddenly arrived.

One is Sony, who made a strong announcement to enter the mobile phone market and then launched the world's first music phone.

Well, don't get me wrong, it's not backgammon that focuses on sound quality, on the contrary, the sound quality of this music phone is very bad, but it is capable of playing an entire song, and it can store up to 12 songs, making it the first mobile phone in the world that can play song music.

This was an out-and-out black technology at the time, but it seems normal to think that Sony itself is the world's first-class electronic music boss, and it seems normal to be able to launch a music mobile phone.

As a result, Nokia and Motorola didn't enjoy the limelight for long, and Sony successfully stole them all.

However, Sony's limelight didn't last long, and the second entrant came.

On July 10, 1997, Samsung also announced the launch of its latest mobile phone: Samsung Galaxy Galaxy.

Does this phone have a selling point?

In fact, there is no selling point, although it is the same slide, it has the same game function, has a calculator and alarm clock function, it is a flagship configuration at that time, but it looks a little ugly, and these hot functions have been released by others.

However, Samsung phones have another huge advantage, and that is the price.

Samsung Mobile announced that the sale price of their mobile phone is not 2499, let alone 2999, and even the 1499 of the previous generation of mobile phones has broken through, and people only need 1299 US dollars per phone.

Wow, this price advantage is simply against the sky, and it can be compared to Daqian mobile phone 3.

In particular, Samsung's brand itself is more than Daqian, which makes many users who were originally waiting for Daqian 3 can't help but buy a Samsung Galaxy Star.

All of a sudden, there were 4 competitors in the mobile phone market, the entire 97 years of the mobile phone market can be described as a boom, starting from June, the total sales of mobile phones in a single month, has exceeded 5 million units, more than twice as much as the same period last year.

Coupled with the entry of major electronics companies around the world, many people have found that I am afraid that the era of mobile phones is really coming.

And last year's third place in mobile phone sales, the total sales are second only to Nokia and Motorola, what kind of answer will be given this year?
