Chapter 557 Before the release of Honor 5

The release of Qinglong 5 chip has had some impact on the sales of IPhone6. Many people in China are paying attention and are skeptical about whether this chip can surpass Apple A5. After all, just looking at the parameters, the gap between Qinglong [-] and A[-] is not big. .

It can be said that Honor 4plus is a relatively failed product. If it had not been recognized for its full network capabilities and outstanding camera capabilities, it would have been surpassed by Honormate, which uses Qualcomm chips.

But after the release of Samsung Galaxy SIII in May this year, it became a hit. By the beginning of November, global sales exceeded 5 million units.

荣耀的几款手机呢？Honor4Plus和Honormate分别卖了3800万和3200万，剩下几个旧款和WP手机一共卖了2000万。2012年还有不到60天这一年就要结束了，荣耀手机销量达到9000万台，超过1亿应该没有任何问题。

Qu Li had to admire his luck. If Samsung did not swing between Android, WP and self-developed operating systems, and Nokia developed slightly faster, the more hip-slim Honor 4 Plus would never have the sales it does now.

There are still some selling points for the soon-to-be-released Honor 5. Full Netcom is very important, followed by facial recognition unlocking and a brand-new data interface, which was later called the type-c interface.

As early as September this year, when the IPhone9 was released, Apple launched its own LightningDock interface with a transmission speed of 5Mbps.This interface is essentially developed based on USB480, and Honor's interface is based on the USB2.0 standard released in November 2008, with a transmission speed of 11Gbps.

There is no doubt that Honor interfaces without front and back will appear in all products, from mobile phones, tablets, laptops to cameras, drones...

In addition to hardware upgrades, there are also operating systems. KOS's Klun voice assistant has finally reached the level of Siri, and there are also upgrades to the Android system.

"Our mobile phone is great!" Sanjay Jia is confident. Honor 5 has many innovations and has almost no shortcomings except the operating system.

"Should we increase investment in WP mobile phones?"

Qu Li had a headache after hearing this. His influence is getting bigger and bigger because of his insistence that WP7.5 uses the same Windows NT kernel as the Windows system, which increases the connection between PC and smart phones. WP mobile phones actually have For many fans, the sales of Samsung and Nokia's WP mobile phones are good, and the sales volume of Honor's WP mobile phones has reached 1000 million units. Although it is not as good as Android, there seems to be no suspense about surpassing BlackBerry.

"Okay!" Qu Li finally nodded.

"Use the flagship released by Qualcomm or Qinglong 2?"

"Of course it's Qinglong 8064." Although Qu Li knew that Qualcomm APQ4412 was named the best chip of the year, Samsung Exynos 3 was second, and Qinglong [-] was almost at the bottom. Fortunately, Nvidia's Tegra[-] chip.

Honor is the staunchest supporter of Qualcomm. Even if it has self-developed chips, it still insists on using Qualcomm chips. However, the old manufacturers such as Moto and Nokia are different from some domestic companies. There are actually a large number of companies using Nvidia, Intel, Marvell, etc. Off-brand chips cause various compatibility issues in mobile phones, including applications.

Honor was originally in a big crisis this year and might be overtaken. However, the title of Android King did not fall to others. It all relied on its peers to support it. Samsung Electronics regrets it very much. The production capacity was not enough during the critical period, and the hit model only sold 2000 units. Thousands of units.

Sanjay Jia left Beijin and stopped talking about Windows 8 tablets. The relationship between Honor and Microsoft has always been good and bad. Microsoft wants to take advantage of Google. Sanjay Jia feels that having one more choice may not be a bad thing.

But even if Qu Li didn't know that Android could win, he wouldn't choose WP. Mobile phone companies can't modify the WP desktop. At most, they can pre-install a few apps. With this kind of treatment, it's better to develop a self-developed system.

If given a choice, Qu Li would not even produce a win8 computer. Microsoft's system is too advanced. It is actually designed according to the operating logic of tablets, but the power consumption control is not as good as Android.Do you want Honor to produce a notebook with a touch screen function?

You must know that the selling point of Honor notebooks is not innovation, but fast boot-up speed and long battery life. It is a fashionable and stable productivity tool, not a game toy.

From Honor’s all-network-connected smartphones, tablets to notebooks, the attributes of productivity tools are very obvious, while the entertainment attributes are added to the camera capabilities and peripherals such as drones and balancing vehicles.

Consumers may not have noticed, but Honor’s brand image has been gradually established with excellent products and publicity. For example, many consumers have never used Honor’s drones, but they all know that Honor has the best consumer-grade drones in the world. Human machine and balance car.

"Microsoft has objections to our lack of cooperation." Lei Jun continued to persuade Qu Li

"Didn't you tell us our reasons?" Qu Li was a little unhappy with Honor's weakness, but Honor was not Apple, and cooperation and compromise would be a long-term choice.

"I said it, but they insisted that this is an innovation..." Lei Jun

"But the risk is too great. Our principle of making high-quality products is very likely..." Qu Li was at a loss for words.

The saying that Honor’s products must be high-quality products may have never been realized. The first Android smartphones and WP phones, as well as the first-generation laptops, are not excellent, at least not compared to the IPhone.

"Forget it, keep talking." Qu Li said angrily.

"Our Find series are promised to be Microsoft products..." Lei Jun said about their plan. The digital series is a self-developed chip, the mate series is a Qualcomm chip, and the Find series is a WP system.

"Are we really going to use machine-sea tactics?" Qu Li resisted tenaciously.

"The user experience of Honor5 is not as good as that of IPhone5..." Lei Jun emphasized

This is a fact that Qu Li knows but is unwilling to accept: the WP system is excellent, but mobile phone manufacturers lack the initiative. The Android system is more flexible and has a complete user ecosystem, but the gap with IOS is still obvious at this time.

You can't get the same level of user experience with better chips and hardware configurations. What else can Honor do besides giving consumers more choices?

"Qualcomm will release a new flagship chip in January next year, the Mate mobile phone will be released in the middle of the year, and the self-developed chip Find series WP8 mobile phones and tablets will be released in the first quarter of next year."

Lei Jun is working hard to release a new phone every quarter. In the second quarter, he released the mate series mobile phones plus note version. In the third quarter, he released the Find series Qualcomm chip Win8 mobile phones and laptops. In the fourth quarter, he released digital flagship phones including note version.As for the specific month of release, we will make a judgment based on market sales.

"Can our chip department be responsible for its own profits and losses?" Qu Li finally thought that self-developed chips did not receive preferential treatment. It is not a good thing to use Qualcomm chips in large quantities to increase costs, but I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing.

"Our tablets only use self-developed chips and baseband chips..." Lei Jun's tone faded.

"They still have to make a profit, even if it's a small profit."
