After seeing this news, Lu Haifeng thought it was perfectly normal for Huawei to hold a global launch event in Paris, Europe, and didn't find anything wrong with it.
Lu Haifeng said to Liu Jianyu, "It seems we need to establish a certain position in the international market as soon as possible!"
Huawei's launch event served as a wake-up call for him.
Lu Haifeng planned to expand his布局 (buju, strategy/layout) from China to other regions around Da Xia (China) this year, striving to gain a certain market share in areas like Japan and South Asia.
They had already reached a cooperation agreement with Japan, and Lu Haifeng also planned to send people to South Asia to investigate the market, preparing to expand into the South Asian market.
The next day, Huawei finally held the launch event as scheduled!
Due to the time difference, Huawei's launch event was held in the evening abroad, while it was during the day in China.
That day happened to be a weekday, not a weekend, which resulted in fewer domestic consumers paying attention to the launch event.
In order to know the enemy and know yourself, and be invincible in every battle, Lu Haifeng also made a special effort to watch Huawei's international launch event.
What impressed Lu Haifeng the most about this launch event was not Huawei's announced achievement of being the third in global sales, nor the performance of the new processor in the Huawei P9 phone!
But rather Yu Dazui's "fluent" English as the keynote speaker at the launch event.
When Yu Dazui spoke English, the Da Xia people might understand some of it, while foreigners had to guess!
At this launch event, Huawei announced with great fanfare that its global mobile phone shipments last year were 190 million units, second only to Apple and Samsung!
Huawei's sales in the domestic market last year were very good, ranking second in the country!
Huawei still had a good performance in the international market, and it deserved its ranking as third in global shipments.
Looking at the Huawei P9 phone launched this time, Lu Haifeng had to admit that it was a very excellent product, and it was worth Huawei holding a global launch event for it.
Last year, the Huawei P8 phone's screen, camera, performance, and battery life could all be said to be relatively powerful.
But compared to the Huawei P9 phone, the improvement was not ordinary!
This time, the Huawei P9 phone used the most common notch screen design, equipped with a d screen from BOE!
This screen had a resolution of 1080P, and the color gamut and brightness were not directly announced at the launch event.
But Lu Haifeng could also guess that the quality of this screen should not be as good as Samsung's screen!
However, compared to Huawei's previous products, the screen used in the Huawei P9 should be the best screen among all previous products!
In terms of processor, this time Huawei did not use the Kirin 930 processor that everyone imagined, but the Kirin 925 processor.
This processor added two large cores compared to the Kirin 920 processor, which further improved the performance of this processor.
The power consumption of this processor was slightly higher than the Kirin 920 processor, but it could be roughly ignored, but the performance was improved by 46%.
And the Huawei P9 also followed the current mainstream flagship models by adding the so-called ufs2.1 and LPDDR4X combination mode.
The performance can be said to be significantly improved, definitely more powerful than the previous generation Huawei Mate8 phone.
The Kirin 925 processor on the Huawei P9 phone can be said to have added wings to the Huawei P9.
In terms of camera, Huawei used lenses co-developed with Leica.
The sensor used Samsung's latest sensor, and for the first time, RYYB imaging was used in the algorithm, and optical image stabilization was equipped.
This also meant that the Huawei P9 phone would be stronger than its competitors in terms of night scene photography, and the Huawei P9 also used the so-called night scene mode for the first time.
In terms of camera, the rear camera still used a 40-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel wide-angle lens!
In terms of the front camera, the Huawei P9 phone used a notch screen design, so it was equipped with a 24-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel virtual depth-of-field lens.
In terms of battery, the Huawei P9 phone was equipped with a large 4000mAh battery!
However, this time Huawei did not use its most proficient dual-cell fast charging technology, but used Qualcomm's fast charging technology, which made the fast charging reach 30W fast charging!
Infrared, NFC, linear motor, and Huawei's strengths in communication technology were all fully demonstrated on the Huawei P9 phone!
It can be said that the configuration of the Huawei P9 phone was very good. In Lu Haifeng's view, there were not too many shortcomings, and it fully met the standards of a flagship model.
However, the Huawei P9 phone still lacked something in the high-end flagship model, which was the most common wireless charger!
Therefore, although the Huawei P9 phone was excellent in all aspects, it did not reach the top level, and it was still one step away from a high-end flagship.
This time, the pricing of the Huawei P9 phone was in Euros.
The Huawei P9 phone had a total of three different storage specifications, and the price was not as cheap as imagined.
The 4+64GB version started at 649 Euros.
The 4+128GB version started at 699 Euros.
The 4+256GB version started at 749 Euros.
According to the current domestic exchange rate, the price of this phone was in the range of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.
Domestic manufacturers have to pay a certain tax when selling mobile phones abroad, so the pricing must be much higher than in China!
Half a day after the European Paris launch event ended, the Huawei P9 phone was officially launched in the domestic market and announced its price.
The low-end version of the Huawei P9 phone was priced at 3999 yuan!
The regular version was priced at 4499 yuan! And the top configuration was 4899 yuan.
Now, Huaxing Technology occupies the highest-end position in the domestic mobile phone market, and other domestic manufacturers can only temporarily be content with ordinary flagship prices.
The price range from 3,500 yuan to 5,000 yuan will be the most competitive pricing range for domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
The emergence of the Huawei P9 phone made the domestic mobile phone market a little more lively.
However, Lu Haifeng did not pay too much attention to the development of the mobile phone market, because now Huaxing Technology and Audi Motors had many things for him to do.
Let's talk about Huaxing Technology first!
This year, Huaxing Technology's Hongmeng X series has been independently established as a new brand, so what needs to be independent next is the Hongmeng S series.
The Hongmeng S series will focus on cost-effective models in the future. In the past, the Hongmeng S series withstood a lot of pressure for the Hongmeng X series, and made many sacrifices for the Hongmeng X series to move towards high-end flagships.
Now the Hongmeng S series can also go to the market and become a new brand!
As for Audi Motors, the new car delivery ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow!
