#420 - Price Butcher
At Huaxing Technology, Chang Cheng, the head of the Hongmeng S series, was also watching Honor's product launch event!
When Zhao Liangyun said that the Honor 8 Plus phone would be the most powerful phone under 3,000 yuan, a look of disdain appeared on Chang Cheng's face.
The most powerful model under 3,000 yuan? You're probably still dreaming!
In Chang Cheng's mind, the title of the most powerful performance under 3,000 yuan belonged only to the Hongmeng S series he was in charge of.
Honor's launch event made many netizens excited!
However, after the launch event, its sales formed a sharp contrast.
From the end of the launch event to the next morning, the sales of the Honor 8 series phones were not as popular as people had imagined.
Overnight, the Honor 8 phone, as a thousand-yuan phone, only sold about 2,000 units!
As for the protagonist of last night's launch event, the Honor 8 Plus phone, because Zhao Liangyun claimed that this phone had the strongest performance under 3,000 yuan!
So the sales of this phone were okay, with a total of about 10,000 units sold overnight!
Honor's head, Zhao Liangyun, had expected this result to some extent, but he didn't expect it to be so bad!
But after thinking for a while, he understood that after all, Honor phones still had Xiaomi and Huaxing Technology behind them.
As everyone knows, Xiaomi's phones and Huaxing Technology's Hongmeng S series have always been synonymous with cost-effectiveness.
Now, the product launch events held by Honor, Xiaomi, and Huaxing Technology, these three rivals, are very close in time.
This has led many consumers to compare prices and choose the product that best suits them.
After figuring it out, Zhao Liangyun said to his assistant with some relief: "Fortunately, we came up with enough selling points this time, otherwise it would be difficult for Honor to have a chance to stand out in this war!"
Zhao Liangyun felt very fortunate about the Honor 8 Plus phone being equipped with the Kirin 830 processor, the latest research and development by Hisilicon.
After all, in his opinion, the comprehensive level of this Kirin 830 processor, the latest research and development by Hisilicon, is very strong.
This processor is even comparable to the flagship processors on last year's mainstream flagship models.
This Kirin 830 processor will become the biggest selling point of the Honor 8 Plus phone.
Zhao Liangyun felt relieved precisely because the Honor 8 Plus phone had this processor.
Even if the sales of the Honor 8 series phones are not very good now!
In the future, the Honor 8 Plus phone can rely on this Kirin 830 processor, which is comparable to last year's flagship processor, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it!
As Honor showed its strength, Xiaomi also launched two products the next day.
This time, Xiaomi did not hold a product launch event like Honor, but directly put the products on the Xiaomi official website or various online stores.
When Xiaomi announced the prices of these two products, the eager netizens were stunned!
The starting price of the Mi Hong Note 2 series phone is only 899 yuan!
The upgraded version of the Mi Hong Note 2 phone, the price of the Mi Hong Note 2 Pro phone also reached an amazing price of 1599 yuan.
This time, Mi Hong phones truly demonstrated the word cost-effectiveness!
2+16GB: 899RMB
2+32GB: 999RMB
The price of Xiaomi's Mi Hong phone did stun the onlookers!
After all, Xiaomi only released a 799 yuan Mi Hong series low-end phone at the beginning of the year, but unexpectedly, they released another one now!
At Huaxing Technology, Lu Haifeng was also stunned when he saw the price announced by Xiaomi!
"Xiaomi is forcing other manufacturers to die!"
When Lu Haifeng saw the processor equipped on this phone, he was directly dumbfounded!
This processor was sold to Xiaomi by him at a price of 450 yuan!
After deducting the price of this processor from the Mi Hong Note 2 phone, the manufacturing cost of other accessories is only 449 yuan.
899 yuan phone, is Xiaomi selling the chip and giving away the phone?
Huaxing Technology executives, Liu Jianyu, Chang Cheng, and others were also shocked by Xiaomi's pricing.
This phone is equipped with the Qinglong 710 processor, and the Honor and Blue-Green phones equipped with this processor all start at a thousand yuan!
This time, Xiaomi is probably going to sit firmly on the title of price butcher.
Apart from this Qinglong 710 processor, the other aspects of this phone are very ordinary.
Xiaomi has applied most of the cost of the Mi Hong Note 2 phone to this processor, and it is impossible to give anything good in other aspects!
This time, in order to save costs, Xiaomi reduced the size of the phone to 5.1 inches and used a 720p screen.
Since the size of this screen is relatively small, the graininess of the screen at this resolution is not as serious as everyone imagined.
In terms of cameras, in order to save costs, the Mi Hong Note 2 phone is equipped with a 12-megapixel front camera and an 18-megapixel rear camera.
It can be said that the rear camera equipped on the Mi Hong Note 2 phone is even more backward than the front cameras of many phones.
In terms of battery life, this time Mi Hong phone is relatively conscientious, equipped with a 4000 mAh large battery and supports 10W fast charging technology!
In addition to these basic configurations, the Mi Hong Note 2 phone still has an infrared function!
Although the price of the Mi Hong Note 2 phone is very close to one thousand yuan, its performance is a genuine hundred-yuan phone.
However, all consumers understand that this phone performs mediocrely in terms of configuration, but it is equipped with an extremely powerful Qinglong 710 processor!
Currently, none of the phones on the market equipped with this processor are less than a thousand yuan!
So the price of 899 yuan does attract some consumers!
These consumers are students who do not have much money or users who do not care much about the camera!
So for them, this phone is very cost-effective.
Even these shortcomings are not shortcomings at all in their eyes!
The 5.1-inch screen is just right for operating the phone with one hand.
As for those cameras, anyway, they buy them back to scan codes, what's the use of higher pixels!
Of course, some netizens also think that if you can add 400 yuan to get the camera and 1080p screen on the Honor 8 phone, it is actually very worthwhile.
However, with the starting price of 899 yuan, Xiaomi has indeed secured the title of price butcher!
At Huaxing Technology, when Lu Haifeng saw the price of the Mi Hong Note 2 phone, he had to admit that Lei Jun was a ruthless person!
This so-called ruthlessness is not only ruthless to other mobile phone manufacturers, but also ruthless to his own company.
Being able to sell the Mi Hong Note 2 phone equipped with the Qinglong 710 processor for less than a thousand yuan, even if the other configurations of this phone are poor, Lu Haifeng has nothing to say!
