Google's charging levels divide all mobile phone manufacturers using the Android system into four different tiers!
The first tier naturally includes Samsung, and their charging standard is $4 per Android phone sold, payable to Google!
The second tier includes other foreign manufacturers and some domestic manufacturers!
The domestic manufacturers in this tier include Xiaomi and Lenovo!
These manufacturers only need to pay Google $8 for each Android phone sold!
The third tier includes many domestic manufacturers!
This includes Huawei, Huaxing Technology, Blue Factory (Vivo), Green Factory (Oppo), Meizu, and others!
These domestic mobile phone manufacturers need to pay Google $15 for each Android phone sold!
The fourth tier includes some lesser-known mobile phone manufacturers!
Most of these manufacturers are shanzhai (knock-off) brands!
These brands need to pay Google $20 for each Android phone sold!
Of course, after releasing this statement, Google also announced that phones running the Android system would receive approximately four years of Google Android system maintenance and optimization!
This would allow Android users to use a smoother and more practical Android system!
As soon as Google released this statement, the entire domestic mobile phone circle was in an uproar!
Google's statement is very beneficial to Samsung!
After all, Samsung phones are already expensive, and the fee they need to pay is only $4!
This isn't a very large number for Samsung!
Conversely, the pressure on domestic mobile phone manufacturers is enormous!
Most domestic manufacturers are in the third tier!
This means that domestic mobile phone manufacturers have to pay Google $15 for each Android phone sold!
Converted to RMB, this fee is close to 100 yuan!
Currently, most mobile phones used by consumers in China are budget phones costing around 1000 yuan!
It can be said that about 50% of consumers in Daxia (China) use phones in the 1000 yuan range!
Originally, Qualcomm was already extracting a 'Qualcomm tax' of 2.5% of the phone's price!
Now that Google is also charging for the Android system, the combined cost of these two fees will raise the cost of budget phones to another level!
This time, Google's fourth tier is clearly intended to exclude those lesser-known mobile phone manufacturers!
Preventing them from using the Android system, thereby elevating the status of the Android system!
However, domestic mobile phone manufacturers don't pay much attention to Google's so-called four-year optimization of the Android system!
After all, after the Android system entered China, various mobile phone manufacturers customized and optimized it, basically breaking away from Google's optimization!
Robbery!
Now, when various mobile phone manufacturers saw this statement, the first word that came to mind was these two!
Lei Jun of Xiaomi Corporation wasn't too happy that Google announced that Xiaomi's level was one level higher than other domestic mobile phone manufacturers!
On the contrary, he had many complaints!
After all, Xiaomi has always had a tangled relationship with Qualcomm!
Now, Google is forcibly raising Xiaomi's level to the second tier, which is better than all domestic mobile phone manufacturers!
This situation will inevitably affect some consumers' views on Xiaomi!
Moreover, most of the Redmi series phones under Xiaomi focus on extreme cost-effectiveness, with very little profit!
Now, the sudden addition of a fee to be paid will have a very large impact on Xiaomi's Redmi digital series!
If the Redmi series wants to maintain its original position, it will either have to reduce the configuration or increase the price!
Google's announcement of Android fees has indeed put tremendous pressure on various mobile phone manufacturers!
After all, the pricing of domestic mobile phone manufacturers isn't very high!
Google's charging for the Android system isn't a good thing for domestic mobile phone manufacturers!
"General Manager Lu!"
Li Jun, as the head of the software department, now had a solemn look on his face!
He looked at Lu Haifeng with a calm expression!
Google announced that it would start charging in March, and now it's already the end of October!
This means that Huaxing Technology only has less than four months!
Upgrading the original Hongmeng TOS system to a point where it can replace the foreign Android system within four months is basically a difficult task!
Li Jun and the others aren't completely confident that they can truly promote the new Hongmeng TOS system in the international market!
"As the saying goes, 'new beginnings come after destruction.' If they hadn't given us this pressure, how would we have a chance to rise again!"
"Our Hongmeng TOS system started development three years ago, and it has been in development for three years!"
"If we choose to give up because of such a small setback, it would be very unworthy!"
"I believe that domestic mobile phone manufacturers will greatly like our Hongmeng TOS system!"
Lu Haifeng looked at Li Jun and Wang Jianguo in the office, with a calm expression on his face!
Under this circumstance, he already had a solution to this matter in his mind!
In Lu Haifeng's view, Google's move is a huge blow to domestic mobile phone manufacturers!
And the current situation is a good opportunity to vigorously promote their new system!
Although Lu Haifeng hopes to firmly control the Hongmeng TOS system within the mobile phones under Huaxing Technology!
However, he also understands that eating alone isn't a good thing!
Now that Google has come up with such a trick, it allows him to see the simplest way!
Unite with other mobile phone manufacturers and strive to make the Hongmeng TOS system defeat the Android system!
"It just so happens that this year, Huaxing Semiconductor also started designing the latest 7nm process technology processor!"
"We can use this opportunity to unite other domestic mobile phone manufacturers!"
Now, Lu Haifeng already had his own idea in his heart!
Now, it's not just Huaxing Technology that needs to impact the global market, but other domestic mobile phone manufacturers also need to impact the global market!
Now, Lu Haifeng's vision has also changed from the most basic capitalist to an entrepreneur!
In his heart, Huaxing Technology is the leader of domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and also the pearl among Daxia's mobile phones!
Huaxing Technology not only wants to bring its own mobile phones to the world, but also wants more domestic mobile phones to be used by consumers all over the world!
As the saying goes, 'A riot of color is spring.' The more responsibility Huaxing Technology can have, the greater its achievements will be!
And now his responsibility is to bring domestic mobile phones to the world, and let global consumers know the level of Daxia's manufacturing industry!
