Chapter 1351 New players enter the field

In August, Zhu Qiushui was out of confinement, and Boss Jia finally didn't have to be trapped at home. He set off for the United States and began to prepare for the press conference of Daqian 3 mobile phone.

For various mobile phone manufacturers in later generations, what Boss Jia hates the most is what press conferences they hold. Can’t they honestly publish product data?

Just make some fancy stuff.

But when Boss Jia really became the boss, he liked this press conference very much, especially when his phone had any functions that transcend the era. Boss Jia felt very happy to be able to introduce these functions on the stage.

Moreover, the effect of the press conference is also very good, which can bring huge sales to its products, and the audience is very happy to watch it. Why not do it?

The only thing that is unhappy is probably Boss Jia’s routine, which was learned by Motorola and Nokia, and they also like to hold press conferences. This is very unhappy!

Is this considered plagiarism? Can you sue one?

This year, Nokia and Motorola have held three or four mobile phone press conferences.

Well, in the era of feature phones, it is very common for a brand to launch multiple models every year.

It's not like this now. It has to be launched with 12mini, 12pro                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   �

For example, throughout 1997, until August, Motorola had launched seven different models, while Nokia had a little less, but there were also six.

Most of the new models launched by these two companies this year have added game functions, and Nokia has obtained Nintendo's game license and has obtained many Nintendo's classic GB games porting licenses.

Motorola obtained Atari's license. This former game overlord is still alive and is launching a game console, just surviving.

But I didn't expect that the games they originally had in the pixel era could actually create a good profit for them.

After all, mobile phones these days can only add some pixel games to the game.

However, afterwards, many professionals were sarcastic in the media that this was completely copying Daqian's mobile phone. It was simply embarrassing to have the independent innovation spirit that Americans should have.

Well, Americans actually criticize their own people for plagiarizing the creativity of Chinese people. This is simply unimaginable in another world.

So Motorola and Nokia both worked hard to launch a brand new super phone to completely destroy Daqian's arrogance.

But this year it is obviously impossible to let the three of them gather together to hold a press conference at the same time. In the end, Nokia got the first move and released the Nokia 8810 on June 8.

This is a phone that makes Nokia extremely proud, first of all, in terms of appearance.

After launching the flip phone last year, Nokia made another breakthrough this year and launched the world's first slide phone. It seems that Nokia is going to fight on the cover to the end.

Compared with the flap, the sliding cover is obviously more cool. For a moment, the Nokia 8810 attracted countless fans just because of this appearance.

However, this time, Nokia is not just polishing the appearance. There are many new features that Nokia is proud of on this phone.

First of all, the alarm clock function. Although display time is already standard for all mobile phones, installing the alarm clock on a mobile phone is the first, which is indeed Nokia's innovative function.

Then there is the function of the calculator, which is also the first time that it appears on the phone.

In addition, there is a notepad. Although this notepad only allows users to enter no more than 27 English words and make up 8 records at most, it is a real notepad that can help users record some key information when they cannot find paper and pen.

Anyway, Nokia has put a lot of effort into the new phone this time, and both the appearance and functions are very perfect. Although the final price is the same as last year, it is $2,999, but it is indeed a lot of improvement compared to last year. No one said that the price is wrong.

Then there was the press conference held by Motorola, but obviously Motorola miscalculated because their new phone actually collided with Nokia again.

Motorola also designed a slider function phone this time, but unfortunately, the final style of the phone was similar to Nokia. If you don’t rely on the color and some details, many people can’t even tell which of these two phones is who.

In fact, the research and development of these two mobile phones began simultaneously, and there was no problem of who copied whoever. However, because Nokia was released first, Motorola became very passive, and the mobile phone that was finally released was accused of plagiarism.

Fortunately, Motorola is still innovative in terms of functions. Although it collided with Nokia on the alarm clock and calculator, Motorola has no notepad yet!

But Motorola has a voice notepad!

Although users cannot use text to record things, they can turn on the recording function and record a voice to remind themselves that this is not as tall as Nokia.

Moreover, since he returned from China, Christopher seemed to have a clue and no longer thought about the price that he could not lose to Nokia, especially when he learned that Nokia's new phone was still $2,999, Christopher scored $2,499 per unit, which was directly cheaper by $500.

In an instant, Motorola's new phone exploded. Although it was released two weeks later than Nokia, it took only one week to catch up with the Nokia 8110.

Nokia was shameless and announced the event directly, and the price was temporarily reduced by $500. It was so angry that customers who spent $2,999 to buy Nokia 8110 wanted to jump off the building.

However, although Nokia and Motorola are fighting fiercely, they still stared at Daqian, because Daqian's latest mobile phone has not been released yet, God knows whether Daqian 3 will launch any new features that are against the sky.

However, Daqian 3 has not appeared yet, and two brand new competitors suddenly come.

One is Sony, which strongly announced its entry into the mobile phone market and then launched the world's first music phone.

Well, don't get me wrong, it's not BBK, which focuses on sound quality. On the contrary, the sound quality of this music phone is very bad, but it can play a whole song and can store up to 12 songs, making it the world's first mobile phone that can play song music.

This was a perfect black technology at that time, but it seems normal to think that Sony itself is the world's first-class electronic music tycoon, and it seems to be able to launch a music phone.

As a result, Nokia and Motorola had not enjoyed the limelight for a long time, Sony successfully snatched them all away.

However, Sony's popularity has not been stolen for long, and the second entrant has arrived.

On July 10, 1997, Samsung also announced the launch of its latest phone: Samsung Galaxy.

Does this phone have any selling points?

In fact, there is no selling point. Although it is a slider, a game function, a calculator and alarm clock function, it was the flagship configuration at that time, but it looks a bit ugly, and these hot functions have been released first by others.

However, Samsung phones have another huge advantage, that is, their price.

Samsung Mobile announced that the price of their mobile phones should not be 2499, let alone 2999. Even the 1499 of the previous generation of mobile phones has exceeded, and they only have US$1,299 per unit.

Wow, this price advantage is simply amazing and can be compared with Daqian Mobile 3.

Especially the Samsung brand itself is more popular than Daqian, which makes many users who were originally waiting for Daqian 3 unable to help but buy a Samsung Galaxy.

In a moment, four competitors appeared in the mobile phone market. The mobile phone market in 1997 was booming. Since June, the total global mobile phone sales in a single month have exceeded 5 million units, more than double the same period last year.

Coupled with the entry of major electronic companies around the world, many people have discovered that the mobile phone era is really coming.
