#345 - Hammer T2

The Weibo posts from these digital bloggers were quite simple, consisting of just a picture from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and a very short statement.

"Recently, a new Huaxing Technology phone has been registered with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Seeing Huaxing Technology's official Weibo post today, it's very likely that Huaxing Technology will be bringing a new product soon!"

Now that netizens have received this news, they also have a look of disbelief on their faces.

After all, it hasn't been long since Huaxing Technology released the Hongmeng X series third-generation phone, and they didn't expect Huaxing Technology to release a new phone already.

Huaxing Technology's speed in producing phones is simply more impressive than a donkey in a production team.

Netizens don't know how to describe Huaxing Technology anymore, after all, the speed at which Huaxing Technology releases phones is still too fast.

This year, Huaxing Technology has released a total of six phones across three series, and with the upcoming release, that will be seven phones.

Huaxing Technology has released a total of seven phones this year. To be honest, it's not a small number, but it's not a huge number either.

After all, their friendly competitor, Dami Company, has also released three phones in the Dami 5 series this year, plus a Redmi phone and a Dami MIX phone, making it five phones released this year.

Looking at it this way, the number of phones released by Huaxing Technology this year isn't too many after all.

"Is it the Hongmeng X series?"

"You're thinking too much. How could it be the Hongmeng X series when it was just released!"

"Could it be that Huaxing Technology has developed a new series again!"

"I think it's the Star series or the Hongmeng S series. After all, both of these series have already released more than eight models!"

"I think it's the Hongmeng S series. Didn't you see Huaxing Technology's official Weibo post?"

"Didn't it mention a 'large cup' version? I think it's an upgraded version of a certain series, and the Hongmeng S series is the most likely!"

Netizens were full of anticipation and speculation about the phone that Huaxing Technology was about to release, guessing which series of products Huaxing Technology would be releasing.

… …

In the blink of an eye, December 10th arrived as scheduled. Luo Chui, the famous crosstalk actor of the press conference, met with all the audience with his Hammer second-generation phone.

As a supplier of accessories for this Hammer second-generation phone, Lu Haifeng was also invited to participate in this crosstalk event.

And Luo Chui did indeed contribute another meme during this crosstalk event.

"Long live Sister Li!"

That's right, Luo Chui made another mistake while presenting the product, and ultimately said the unforgettable phrase "Long live Sister Li."

Lu Haifeng sat in the audience watching this Hammer Technology press conference and didn't have much aversion to Hammer phones.

Besides being equipped with the processor and fast charging technology that he provided, the Hammer second-generation phone performed mediocrely in other configurations. The only thing that was impressive was its square, right-angled frame design.

This right-angled frame design continued the characteristics of the first-generation Hammer phone. Although it looked like it had a kind of engineering aesthetic.

However, because this phone has a right-angled frame design, it is prone to damage to the phone's casing after bumps and scrapes.

Besides this design being a bit of a highlight, there weren't many other highlights.

It is equipped with a front-facing 8-megapixel camera, a rear-facing 24-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens, plus a very ordinary LCD screen.

It can be said that this phone doesn't have many highlights in terms of configuration, but the price is very scary.

4+64GB: 3499RMB

4+128GB: 3999RMB

Lu Haifeng looked at the price of nearly 3,500 yuan. The Hammer second-generation phone still continued the price of the first-generation Hammer phone.

Lu Haifeng understood Luo Chui's helplessness very well. Although Hammer Technology is a mobile phone company, its main specialty is in system software.

In terms of configuring hardware, it doesn't have its own fixed channel vendors and OEM manufacturers at all.

Under this circumstance, Luo Chui needs to spend more money to purchase mobile phone components and also has to pay a large OEM fee to other OEM factories for production.

Therefore, Hammer phones have no advantage in the market at all and cannot become a truly mainstream brand.

After all, the defects of Hammer phones are still very large compared to other mobile phone manufacturers.

On the other hand, Luo Chui doesn't have enough connections like Lei Jun and cannot provide cheap and high-quality mobile phone parts.

He also doesn't have the strength to independently develop component technology. In this regard, other domestic mobile phone manufacturers are much better than Hammer phones.

In addition to the above reasons, the development direction of Hammer phones is also wrong.

Hammer phones have always valued system experience and mobile phone marketing.

It even tied Hammer phones to Luo Chui, which was not a very good marketing model in itself.

In terms of the UI system, although Hammer Technology belongs to the first tier of the current Android camp.

But the experience of the system is, to be honest, irrelevant when the configuration has not fully reached the top level.

In the Android camp, the first thing people look at is the configuration. When the configuration reaches the current top level, then they will compete with each other's UI systems.

Moreover, the advantage occupied by the UI system is not an absolute advantage. After all, now when each manufacturer releases a new UI function, other manufacturers will copy this new function completely within a year.

In addition, Hammer phones themselves lack enough funds to develop the entire company.

And Luo Chui has even taken on a certain amount of debt in order to obtain enough funds to develop the company.

It can be said that Hammer phones now lack enough funds for development and have entered a vicious circle.

Lu Haifeng is quite sorry for Hammer phones. It will be a very difficult thing for Hammer phones to succeed now.

"Mr. Lu, what do you think of the phone released today!"

After the press conference ended, Luo Chui asked Lu Haifeng.

In Luo Chui's heart, the status of this phone is very important. If this Hammer T2 phone can achieve his goals, then their Hammer phones still have a chance.

If Hammer phones fail again, then Luo Chui and Hammer Company will only be strangers.

Lu Haifeng listened to Luo Chui's inquiry, thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "The Hammer T2's mobile phone system is the strongest system I have ever seen in the Android camp!"

When Luo Chui heard Lu Haifeng's words, the corners of his mouth also slightly decreased. Obviously, he heard that this was Lu Haifeng's euphemistic way of speaking.

However, Luo Chui didn't say anything more. In his opinion, he had made all the preparations, so what awaits him next can only be left to fate.
