Chapter 188 [Becoming a God, Debut is the Peak]

It's a shock, just a built-in 3 million pixel camera is incomparably shocking, and the same shock is the industrial design of Azure-X.

Only mobile phone users who have been using a plastic keyboard can best feel how shocked they are when they see such an industrial design for the first time.

It's a reversal of their preconceived notions of smartphones.

Can a smartphone still look like this?

Could it be that this conference will really give birth to a revolutionary product that will shake the world?

The Western media couldn't help but be entangled, on the one hand, hoping to see Luo Sheng make a fool of himself, but on the other hand, he was really shocked.

Luo Sheng on the stage said: "In addition to these, there are some high-tech that cannot be seen, there are three most advanced sensing devices built into Azure-X, the first is distance sensing, it can sense approaching objects, so when you take the mobile phone to the ear to answer the call, it will automatically turn off the screen and touch sensing, which can save power, and secondly, it will not touch the screen by mistake because of the face touch screen screen when answering the call." ”

"The second is ambient light sensing, which senses ambient light conditions and automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to suit the current environment, resulting in a better user experience while saving power."

"Finally, there is the gravitational acceleration sensing, which can detect the transition from vertical mode to horizontal mode, this is really cool, and I will show you it later, forget it, and show it to you directly."

Luo Sheng, who was in the middle of the stage, turned around and walked to the workbench on the side after saying this, and the audience at the scene all polished their eyes, and the industry participants were more and more shocked.

Could it be that everything he said was true?

The press conference has already been arranged for this, and Luo Sheng rehearsed for three days for this press conference.

There are several Azure-X prototypes on the workbench to ensure backup, and there is also a special playback system that can transmit digital video, which can be placed on the projector through the connection cable and finally synchronized with the large screen on the scene, and the audience can clearly and intuitively see the prototype interface through the large screen.

Soon, a sub-screen popped up on the right side of the big screen, which was the picture of Luo Sheng operating the prototype, and he was holding a white prototype in his hand, but the black one was presented on the big screen.

At this moment, everyone focused on the prototype in Luo Sheng's hand on the sub-screen, and in the presence of everyone, he pressed the power button.

The screen is awakened.

At the same time, the synchronization screen on the big screen on the stage also lit up.

Luo Sheng stared at the prototype in his hand: "Do you see it?" The screen is awakened, do you see one of the icons below? Just tap your finger on the icon and swipe over. ”

After speaking, he demonstrated it on the spot.

More than a thousand pairs of eyes present witnessed this moment with their own eyes, and Luo Sheng tapped the screen and swiped to the right.

The phone is unlocked, and the main interface is presented.

This scene made the audience hear, and all the witnesses, whether they were mainlanders or foreigners, had an indescribable shock in their eyes at this moment.

It was only two seconds after two seconds of silence, and the audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause without warning.

"Oh!!"

The thunderous applause was mixed with excited shouts, and he slid lightly and instantly conquered everyone in the audience.

Although this mobile phone still seems very backward in Luo Sheng's eyes, this is the ultimate product that the Cote d'Azur can develop in just three and a half years, from scratch and with the current basic level of communication and semiconductors.

Although it still seems backward to him, it is because he has witnessed the vision of the next few decades.

And in this era, he slid lightly and drew an era.

It marks the era of smartphones in the truest sense of the word.

It also opened the era of mobile Internet.

A whole new era has opened the door to humanity.

At this time, Luo Sheng looked back at the audience, and then noticed that except for the thunderous applause of the audience, everyone stood up, compared to before, the audience was almost boiling at this moment.

Even harsh Westerners, Western media people who want to see Luo Sheng's jokes, have been conquered at this moment.

Luo Sheng looked back at the screen and said while touching the screen interface: "This is the main interface of Azure-X, let's experience the experience, click on the MusicSpace app icon to enter, and if you want to exit, press the middle year to return to the main interface." ”

It is worth mentioning that MusicSpace is still the inner version, but it is completely enough to cope with the current display needs, and the domestic version of Blue Star Music is still very different from it, and it is two independent applications after the spin-off and reorganization.

There are several icons below the screen, playlists, artists, music videos, more, etc., so how do you browse the list of songs? I'll show you how, you just need to touch the screen with your finger and swipe lightly, and there is a list of singers, for example, choose Avril, you need to click on it, here is all the work about Avril, super cool, isn't it? ”

Before Luo Sheng's words fell, the applause that had just subsided rose again, and the audience was once again sensational, with shouts and applause.

More and more viewers are getting more and more excited.

An industry insider at the meeting muttered to himself: "I'm stupid, subverting my perception of mobile phones." ”

At the same time, Luo Sheng spoke again, and the applause fell.

"Click to go to the playback screen and look at this gorgeous album cover, a very beautiful and cool female singer, I like this little rock witch, she is as cool as Azure-X and has no friends."

The scene suddenly ushered in a burst of laughter, Avril is still one of the most popular female singers in the world.

Luo Sheng showed and introduced: "Here is the volume control, there are more cool operations, now show you to see, click on the album cover to turn around to display the lyrics, click on the touch to return, what's even cooler is that whether it's in the album cover interface or the lyrics interface, as long as you double-click continuously to display all the works under the same album list, the operation is very simple, of course, you can also click on it by clicking on the [album list] in the upper right corner, you can play as you like." And to return to the main playlist, there is a more personalized function, click to create a personal favorite playlist, check the song and you're good to go, it's very simple. ”

Luo Sheng just turned his head to look at the audience when he said this, and people once again offered warm applause and screams.

"Let's take a look at the video function, enter the Blue Star Video app, it's still an internal beta version, and the official version will be completed before the product goes on the market, but I think it's already perfect, but we need to be more perfect, OK, let's get down to business, put a video."

When entering this display link, the backstage staff and engineers all sweated, and silently thought in their hearts: Boss, don't order online videos, I'm really worried that the network can't stand it.

"Click the icon in the bottom right corner to play it in full screen." Of course, Luo Sheng did not click on the online video, but opened the offline video, and the movie "Titanic" was playing at this moment.

Luo Sheng introduced while operating the interface: "There is also a touch screen playback function, so we can play a whole movie, this is Azure-X, super cool, right?" ”

"Oh——!"

There were people at the scene who shouted and applauded again.

Luo Sheng smiled at the audience and said: "I once showed the Azure-X mobile phone to the boss of a supply chain partner, and then I asked him how he felt. "I'm hooked from the moment you first swipe to unlock the screen," he said......"

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter, and now everyone is extremely excited, all of them are amazed and shocked by this work.

It can be said that this new product launch conference has opened a new door to their imagination, and an industrial electrical product can also be designed so beautiful and cool.

"Without further ado, let's move on to the next part, where I'll show you Azure-X's most revolutionary telephony feature. What is a god-level app? The answer is that being able to make a phone call is a god-level app. Luo Sheng looked at the audience with a look of disbelief, everyone looked at him, that confident side, no one laughed at it now, even those foreigners who had the heart to watch jokes before had to be convinced.

He's really showing the world how he's redefining smartphones, and it's happening right now.

"It's incredible, isn't it? Can Azure-X make phone calls? And how troublesome is it to make a call on most mobile phones? It's all a key-by-key press, most people don't actually have a phone number in their address book, they basically use the recent call log as the address book, how many of you here are like this? I'm willing to bet more than half of it. ”

Many people smiled slightly, and the person who laughed was obviously right.

"So, we're going to give you a different way to use your contacts, you can download all your contacts from PC and Mac to Azure-X, and then you can have the contact information of each contact at any time."

Luo Sheng said methodically:

"Azure-X uses the most popular international standard, GSM and its derivatives, and will also introduce support for 3G and other cool features in the future, and of course Azure-X also supports wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities."

When I heard the Bluetooth function and Wi-Fi function, there was another round of warm applause.

Luo Sheng continued to operate and introduced: "In addition, I want to show you a few other things, phone functions, photo albums, calendars, text messages, Internet functions, etc., which are ordinary functions in other mobile phones, but in Azure-X, they have become extraordinary, so that these ordinary functions have been an unprecedented evolution." ”

"First of all, enter the phone function,There are several icons below,Personal favorites、Recent calls、Contacts、Dial keypad,The way to browse the address book is also to slide the list,Click on a list of contacts,There are his details、Email、Phone number, etc.; This is an SMS text message, there can be several conversations, in the form of a conversation, and you will receive a reminder every time you receive a new message......"

Luo Sheng showed these functions to the audience one by one, showing that he could choose his favorite music as a ringtone, he showed that he could choose his favorite photo as a desktop wallpaper or lock screen wallpaper, and he showed how to make a call with an Azure-X mobile phone......

During this period, the process of the display was interrupted by applause and shouts from the scene one after another, and everyone did not expect that this conference would become like this, and it would be shocked beyond measure.

"There's no doubt that we've redefined smartphones."

Luo Sheng came to the middle of the stage: "Now let's look at the Internet function of Azure-X, which is a very important part of Azure-X. We have rich HTML mail, it is the first time in the world that there is a rich mail application on smart mobile terminal devices, you can use any IMAP or POP3 mail service, it will connect with your favorite email service, you can put everything on the server, Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Mac Mail, Google Gmail, etc. ”

"OK, without further ado, I'm going to show you more incredible features, an Internet world that runs in your hands, and a product that can put the Internet in your pocket."

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into warm applause.

"It's the best browser in the world that we use on our phones, not a wap browser, but a real browser, and it runs on Azure-X." Luo Sheng said here, walked to the workbench again and picked up his mobile phone.

“emmm…… Just choose the blue space social networking site, load it, and see if it's super cool? It's not like your existing smartphone gives you a wap version of the blue space at all, what you show on Azure-X is a full blue space page, you can swipe up and down, these views can see the whole page, but the text is too small, so we designed a double-click operation, you just need to double-click on any area to zoom in on that position, you can also expand and shrink by touching the screen with two fingers at the same time, just like that, and more importantly, this is our patent, and we want to protect these patents. ”

After speaking, Luo Sheng demonstrated it on the spot, and the scene once again resounded with warm applause.

Luo Sheng smiled and said to the audience: "If you have ever used the so-called browser on your mobile phone, you will understand how cool it is, there is no harm without comparison, this is a revolutionary breakthrough, from now on your mobile phone has a real Internet, portable mobile Internet." ”

There was thunderous applause again, and some people in the industry also realized a very important problem in the shock.

Mobile Internet!

The world is about to change!

At this moment, the participants in the industry realized that an unprecedented new outlet was coming.

The Internet industry is about to usher in an unprecedented subversive innovation, and Luo Sheng's slide has opened a new era in the Internet industry!

As the applause fell again, Luo Sheng also put down the prototype and returned to the middle of the stage again, holding a small remote control in his hand.

"Many mobile phones on the market do not have a good battery life, but we have achieved eight and a half hours of battery life, which includes phone calls, videos, music, Internet access, and if you listen to music, you can last 26 hours, which is much better than the previous smartphone."

"There are so many revolutionary features that I can't explain them all in the limited time at the launch event, but there are a lot of innovative technologies in Azure-X, and we have done the best in every aspect of our design, at least more than 5 years ahead of the industry."

When Luo Sheng said again that he was 5 years ahead, the people present no longer had the same mentality of questioning and even sneering as before.

On the contrary, the launch has continued to this day, and after witnessing this series of groundbreaking features, they feel more than 5 years ahead.

At this moment, Luo Sheng's voice resounded throughout the press conference.

"We have multi-touch screen technology, we have our own design of the AP processor, excellent power management, AOS operating system based on mobile devices, exquisite and beautiful industrial design, three advanced sensing devices, desktop-level application ......"

"In the past few years, we have devoted ourselves to research and innovation, and at the same time, we have invested frantically, and the advent of this work has cost 11.85 billion yuan, which is only the cost of R&D investment, if you want to calculate the total cost of 2.08 billion US dollars on a global scale, excluding exchange rate changes, it is equivalent to 16.7 billion yuan."

"But we think it's worth it, and we have filed 287 patents for Azure-X, and we want to protect these inventions, and we want to protect the intellectual property that our more than 7,000 engineers have worked hard to create over 1,280 days and nights."

"Azure-X is like putting your life in your pocket, putting the Internet in your pocket, when you take it out of your pocket, it's your life, and when you hold it in your hand, the Internet is in the palm of your hand."

"Wow!!"

The thunderous applause and shouts interrupted Luo Sheng's words again, and the applause lasted for a long time.

The Internet is in the palm of your hand!

Luo Sheng's words are too shocking, forcing Glena Man, and what is even more shocking is that he has created the world's most perfect and cool smart mobile terminal equipment so far, no one expected that this "Internet giant" crossed over to play with mobile phones, and it turned out to be the peak of his debut.

What is the biggest impact that Azure-X phones have had on the audience?

That is, before seeing this work, they think that the current popular smartphones, such as Motorola and Noki, are very good and perfect.

However, when I saw Azure-X, I immediately lost any interest in the product that I had been full of, and I wanted to go up and grab the prototype for myself, and then throw the plastic keyboard machine in my pocket into the trash.

Once again, it confirms the saying that there is no harm without contrast.

This transformation took the time of a press conference, and this transformation was not for one person, but for everyone.

At this time, Luo Sheng on the stage paced and said unhurriedly: "How should we price such a perfect product?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was extremely concerned.

"What is the price of these devices in general? The most popular iPod in North America has sold hundreds of millions of units, and if I remember correctly, the 4GB Nano is priced at $199 USD, about ¥1598 without exchange rate changes. And what about smartphones? Motorola, Penmai, Nokia are usually around $299, about ¥2,400, and people spend $499 or ¥4,000 or so for this combination, so how much does Azure-X cost? ”

"Let's compare carefully, Azure-X is much easier to use than them, I don't think anyone will object, there is music, there is video, there is a multi-touch interface, there is Wi-Fi, there is a super browser, there are desktop level applications, you can use Bluestar Technology 'family bucket' and so on, these things are generally worth four or five hundred dollars or four thousand dollars. So, how much higher should we price Azure-X than it? ”

When domestic people heard this, they also secretly smacked their tongues, this product is good, it is perfect and impeccable, and the only imperfect thing is that it is too expensive.

According to Luo Sheng's tone, I am afraid that it is more expensive than winning the brand machine of the international factory now, at least at the rhythm of more than 4,000 yuan.

I am afraid that not many domestic consumers can afford such an expensive mobile phone, you must know that many mobile phones are cheap copycats.

The senior industry insiders present were surprisingly unanimous in their belief that if the Cote d'Azur company wanted to recover its costs, it would be impossible in the domestic market for a short period of time, and it would only rely on the international market.

In fact, it is true that Luo Sheng's main focus is on the overseas market, and he is currently mainly attacking the European market.

"There are so many revolutionary features on Azure-X, so how do we price them? The 4GB model is priced at ¥3999 in China and $599 in China. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was surprised, and the applause was thunderous.

The international version is a full $100 more expensive, which is equivalent to more than 800 dollars.

This offer was very surprising to people, especially the foreigners on the scene, the price was $599 USD, and the most expensive was about $688 US dollars, including the tariff of about 10~15% on electronic products.

Definitely not cheap, but acceptable.

It can only be said that the consumption of developed countries in Europe and the United States is strong!

Luo Sheng continued, "We also have a 16GB model, priced at ¥5,999 in China and $799 in international. ”

This time the audience secretly smacked their tongues, even if this price is placed in Europe and the United States, as an electronic product, it is also a very high price, it can be said that Azure-X is very expensive, but as an epoch-making disruptive technology product, it cannot be said that it is not worth the price.

With such an expensive price, it is definitely one of the most expensive smartphones in the world to date, and some people can't help but wonder what will happen to the sales of this product after it is released.

I'm afraid there won't be too many people buying it.

In fact, Luo Sheng is not worried about sales at all, it is natural that the mobile phone industry is fiercely competitive, but the market size is also huge, it is not surprising that the sales volume of the mobile phone industry in the global market this year will reach 1 billion units, which is more than three times the sales of computers.

With such a large volume, Luo Sheng gave the Cte d'Azur company a sales target of about 10 million units for Azure mobile phones at the end of this year and next year, which only accounts for 1% of the entire market share.

What's more, Luo Sheng has full confidence in the product itself, and there will be no direct competitors in the next one to two years, as for those smartphones with plastic keyboards, none of them can play in front of Azure-X mobile phones.

Finally, Luo Sheng announced: "So when will it be put on sale?" It will be released simultaneously worldwide on December 24. ”

The press conference continued here, basically coming to an end, and as Luo Sheng announced the specific release date, the scene once again resounded with warm applause.

And this press conference ended with Luo Sheng's speech of less than a minute at the end.

The news was reaching the world at an astonishing rate, almost overnight, and the whole world was stirred, and the news of the Criviera's new product launch took the headlines around the world the next day.
