Bill Gates was excited, he didn't expect to have the opportunity to invest in Matrix, and anyone with a discerning eye could see how much potential Matrix had.

It's only the first day of the Mphone2 launch, but just by getting his hands on the Mphone2, Bill Gates knows that it will definitely be a big success in the Americon consumer market.

Even after 2,000 years of the bursting of the Nasdaq bubble and the attack on the Twin Towers of 2,000 and 1 years, Ameriken is still the country with the strongest spending power on the Blue Star, and the price of $749 is indeed too high compared to other mobile phones.

Almost 1.5 times the price of a Nokia smartphone, but what if you don't think of it as a phone? Mphone2 and Nokia are two different tracks entirely.

Bill Gates believes that as long as consumers go to Matrix's offline stores to experience the Mphone2, most will think that the $749 price is worth the money.

It's not that there is no cost performance if it is expensive, but there is no cost performance when it is expensive.

For example, the Pixel 4XL launched by Google in the later generations, that was the era of the launch of iphone13pro, Google's Pixel 4XL dual camera plus a large forehead, the camera sensor is still using Sony's IMX363, some people may have no concept of IMX363, this is the camera sensor used by Xiaomi Mi 6, so backward that I don't know where it is.

is such a product, there is also a big bang in the full-screen era, the starting price can be as high as 899 US dollars, the top configuration is only 6+128G, and the price is 999 US dollars.

With this kind of pricing and this kind of cost performance, it's no wonder that Google's Pixel series is not cool.

Mphone2's pricing, configuration, and era are combined, and the cost performance is simply amazing, all of which are the most advanced technologies at the moment.

After listening to Zhou Xin's answer, Bill Gates hesitated for a moment and said: "No problem, I know which people are really influential in Washington, and I will help you think of a complete solution."

If you really want maximum security, then you have to divide the line between light and dark, and on the surface it is to make political donations to these people in power today, and you can not offend both sides like me, and give them the benefits on the surface, as you did before.

The other line is deeply tied to a few families, I am very clear about the potential of Matrix, but for others, they may not be so clear, it is better to put Matrix on the market, so that they can intuitively see the expansion of paper wealth in the process. ”

Zhou Xin can understand what Bill Gates meant: "Yes, the outside world may think that Matrix can become the Nokia and Motorola of the new era, but in fact, in my mind, it will be a consortium of Microsoft, IBM, and Yahoo in the new era." ”

Bill Gates asks, "Is the potential of smartphones really that great?" ”

Zhou Xin nodded: "Smartphones will go with personal computers to seize consumers' time, I don't know if you have observed the users of Mphone1 in daily life, after the birth of Mphone1, the time spent by consumers on mobile phones has increased significantly, according to the background statistics of MOS, the average time spent by consumers on Mphone is as long as two hours per day."

This number will rise significantly after the launch of Mphone2.

Smartphones will become more and more important and even surpass the PC market. ”

After hearing this, Bill Gates felt a sense of urgency in his heart, because he realized that if Zhou Xin's logic was followed, there would still be big loopholes in the operating system edifice built by Microsoft.

The winner of the smartphone, if the smartphone operating system wins to counterattack the desktop operating system, Microsoft may really be bitten off a part of the market share.

This is the crisis of the future, and the biggest opportunity in front of us is that Matrix wants to bring in investors and share the cake.

Just as Bill Gates was looking for investors for Matrix, the tsunami caused by the launch of the Mphone2 began to slowly sweep across the United States.

Because the Mphone2 uses a lot of advanced technology, it was difficult to keep the cost down at the beginning, and the Matrix stock was limited.

With the launch of Mphone2 in the first month, from Americon to Maple Leaf Country to Neon, almost all of them are crazy about this product, and all of Matrix's offline stores only have prototypes, and even stores are frequently robbed in California.

The success of the first-generation Mphone has made companies in the upstream and downstream of Matrix's supply chain willing to bet with Matrix that the second-generation Mphone will ship just as much, or even more, so that even if the Mphone stock quantity is small, Matrix can keep the cost as low as possible.

Mr. Lei has been a vice president at Matrix for some time, and his main job now is supply chain management. To be honest, before taking on the role of Matrix executive, Lei Jun did not have much experience in supply chain management.

Only the process of establishing Excellence.com can barely be related to supply chain management, but there is still a big difference between a supplier of books and a supplier of electronic components.

Lei Jun entered the role quickly, Matrix's suppliers are located in different countries on all continents around the world, Lei Jun is very talented in supply chain management, and can finally achieve what he wants to achieve, which makes Zhou Xin feel that talents are talents even if they change their environment.

It is precisely because of Lei Jun for supply chain management that the price of Mphone2 can be pressed to $749, otherwise it will have to rise by at least $100.

"It's no secret that every time Newman's company launches a new product, whether it's software or hardware, it's going to be a big event in Silicon Valley. The overwhelming gossip, eye-catching press conferences, and the growing fan base have all come so mightily. That's true for Quora, it's true for NewPay, and it's true for Mphone.

However, this time the Mphone2 is even more sensational. Compared with the first generation of Mphone, Mphone2 began to warm up as early as the Mphone developer conference half a year ago, and all kinds of rumors filled the Internet throughout Ameriken.

The Mphone2 could be Newman's most successful launch. On the first day of online booking, we saw that Matrix and AT&T's servers were squeezed to down, and the delivery times were frequently delayed due to high demand.

Queuing parties from all over the country began to set up camp in front of the Matrix store.

We have a lot to expect from the second-generation Mphone, and it is doing its best to achieve them: the A2 chip with better performance and more power saving, the new multimedia decoding chip, the latest Bluetooth technology, the rebirth of the industrial design, and the 3G network......

But the most surprising thing for us is not the above content, but the screen, a whole screen with multi-touch, Mphone2The most significant change is the screen, from the screen plus the keyboard to the screen plus a home button.

The huge change in industrial design has led Mphone to completely reshape the feel of the phone, and this change is eye-catching enough. Newman defined the design of the Mphone2 as a product of the future at the Mphone2 launch event, and when the editors of Wired magazine got their hands on the Mphone2, we thought Newman's definition was a bit conservative.

Mphone2 is not the product of the future, it is the product of the future. It's hard to imagine that in the third year of the 21st century, we will be able to say goodbye to the mobile phone form of the past two decades. After using Mphone2, I went back to using other brands of phones, and it was really hard for me to accept.

With bloated keyboards, sluggish operations, boring mobile apps, and stuttering 2G networks, other brands of mobile phones, even if they were the top flagships before, look so weak and vulnerable in front of Mphone2.

I know the question is now that everyone is: is Mphone2 really as invincible as it is on the web forums? Is there any moisture in what Newman said at the launch? Are Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, and other mobile phone manufacturers really vulnerable in front of Matrix? We'll answer these questions one by one, so read this detailed review slowly!

Compared with the curvature, plasticity, and silver edges of the Mphone1, Matrix has made the body and surface of the new Mphone more detailed and complex. From design aesthetics to manufacturing processes, Newman and Matrix's design team have revolutionized the way we think about a mobile phone.

The case of the Mphone2 consists of three basic parts: two smooth, high-strength glasses and a stainless steel strip that surrounds the perimeter. It's clear but it's not simple, and the Mphone2 has added some small details, such as the volume buttons, which are divided into two separate buttons from the original integration, marked with +/-, and the notch in the metal band plays an important role in improving the wireless signal.

The Mphone2 is significantly thinner than the Mphone1, reduced from 12.5mm to 9.8mm, but the weight is still the same as the original 137g, making the whole phone more compact both visually and in grip.

We can't describe how high-end the design of the Mphone2 is. In contrast, even the Mphone1 feels cheap and bloated, and the Samsung S1 phone, which has just been launched, has become more like a product of the last century.

As mentioned earlier, the Mphone2 has three main parts, the front is made of extremely solid glass, and the Matrix website claims that it can be compared to sapphire in terms of strength, which is 30 times harder than plastic.

There is a narrow slit in the glass above the screen for the handset and the front camera, and the home button below has a similar design.

On the left side of the phone are new volume buttons, a newly designed mute switch, and a slit near the bottom. On the right is the card slot for the calling card, and there is also a slit near the bottom.

At the top are the power and sleep buttons, as well as the headphone port, and on the other side is a new noise-cancelling microphone.

In my opinion, the headphone jack of the Mphone2 may be a failure, because it is equipped with the most advanced Bluetooth technology also from Newman, and the Mphone does not need an extra headphone port, and the role of the headphone jack can be perfectly replaced by Bluetooth headphones.

At the bottom, you'll find the speaker, main microphone and charging port. The back of the phone is the same high-strength glass, with the only notches being a new HD camera, LED flash, and Matrix logo.

Overall, Mphone2 is ahead of all other phones on the market in terms of industrial design.

Compared to those very expensive products, like Vertu, it is better in design.

And the Mphone2 doesn't just look great, the materials used also feel extraordinary. When we first started testing, we were very worried about it being dropped or lost. This is more or less because Mphone2 is so beautiful to hold.

Especially with its whole screen, by now you should already know that the Mphone2 has a brand new screen. Due to its high resolution and pixel density, Matrix named the 3.5-inch ultra-fine screen myretinal imaging.

At the same size, the new screen achieves an ultra-high pixel density and an 800:1 contrast ratio. Newman talked about the adaptability of the screen itself to touch at the press conference, without talking too much about the resolution and clarity of the screen, in fact, we can see from the official website that this screen is claimed to be close to the recognition ability of the human eye.

It's safe to say that we've never seen a more detailed, clear, and pleasing screen on any phone.

It's not just the rich colors and deep black levels, you can't see the pixels on the screen at all. Well, you can see through the microscope, but you can't see any form of aliasing when using it normally, except maybe for apps that haven't updated the picture.

The text rendering is incredibly clear, and on other phones users will see lines and lines of pixels, which are perfectly readable on the Mphone2, but only through a microscope.

The screen is fascinating, even more so when looking at photos or videos, and the detail in the moving images is particularly stunning."

It is extremely rare to see editors praising Mphone2 in major tech magazines, and a very small number of magazines criticizing Mphone2 also focus on price:

"Newman's pricing is a wrong choice, I don't doubt that Newman's pricing will be supported and purchased by a large number of Newman and even Mphone itself, and I don't doubt that Newman will be commercially successful, and the peers who used to suspect Newman's business judgment errors will not have similar ideas in the 21st century, no matter how stubborn they are.

The mistake I'm referring to is pricing, Newman's pricing has left low-income people behind, and people who survive on handouts and free food have lost the opportunity to experience cutting-edge technology, even in the age of personal computers, there are businesses to meet their needs.

But after entering the era of smart phones, Newman made a decision, other mobile phone manufacturers will quickly follow, Newman price 599 US dollars, then we price 499 US dollars, no company considers reducing the price to less than 200 US dollars, no company wants to occupy the low-end market.

The word smartphone seems to have been associated with high-end and expensive since its birth, and Newman has reinforces this impression in the pricing of the second-generation Mphone, which is not good news for low-income people, which will affect Newman's social evaluation."

Even if there is criticism, this criticism is focused on such aspects, for Silicon Valley's consumer groups dominated by programmers, scientific researchers, and engineers, they are eager to worship Zhou Xin after seeing Mphone2.

"It's hard to imagine that this is the Mphone2, if it were a Nokia, it would have to be at least the Mphone10."

"I love Newman to death with other consumer electronics manufacturers, and he shows me how rare it is to have a consumer electronics manufacturer that doesn't squeeze toothpaste."

"Mphone2 is here, and I don't want to talk to non-Mphone2 users anymore."

"I've been queuing up at Matrix's offline period store on time at 7 a.m. every Friday for two weeks in a row, but why hasn't it been my turn yet?"

There is even a smuggling service dedicated to the California area, where the Mphone2 is snapped up from offline stores in less developed areas of Ameriken, and then brought to California to resell to California consumers, and the resale price can increase by as much as $500.
