Chapter 131 1998 is an attitude
Next up is the camera. To ensure a stunning product launch, the BOM cost was mainly spent on the screen and processor.
As for the camera that most people don't need, they naturally opted to equip it with only one.
A 200-megapixel rear main camera is sufficient for scanning QR codes.
Lei Jun only briefly mentioned the areas where they couldn't win, and quickly moved on to the next key point.
"Regarding RAM, we have adopted the industry's most advanced solution, which is currently used by almost no other manufacturers."
1GB of RAM…
Many people in the audience were stunned when they saw the large, bold yellow lettering on the stage.
This rice is going to go crazy with memory usage.
"Currently, the mainstream choice in the industry for the 2000 yuan price range is still 256MB of RAM, while those willing to invest in higher-end components opt for 512MB."
Some unambitious manufacturers are even still using 128MB of RAM.
But we, the rice producers, are going to start rolling it up; we want to change the status quo of this industry and force them to upgrade.
Several mobile phones appeared on the big screen, and all their hardware specifications were listed.
Huawei's two phones and Apple's 3Gs were compared, and Xiaomi's 1GB of RAM is the strongest configuration in the industry.
"Fruit still uses only 256MB of memory; one grain of rice is equivalent to four pieces of fruit."
"Hey, didn't you hear what Mr. Lei said? Some unprogressive manufacturers are still using 128MB; that's equivalent to eight of them."
"I can't even imagine how high the profit margin for fruit really is..."
"Mr. Lei, you're selling at a loss. How can you compare it to fruit?"
"It seems Honor's profits are quite substantial..."
"I initially thought they were pretty conscientious, but it turns out... rice is the most conscientious one."
Lei Jun explained it in great detail, down to the meaning of each number.
Besides being able to run smoothly now, 1GB of RAM can keep the system running smoothly for three years without lagging.
No matter how laggy Android is, having more RAM can directly solve the problem.
However, when talking about batteries, he omitted the charging speed.
"We've used a massive 2000mAh battery, and with MIUI's power-saving optimizations, it should last a full day with normal use."
Here, Lei Jun is once again comparing himself to Apple, and as for Honor...
Under the Leibniz comparison method, this step does not involve this object.
But when Lei Jun mentioned the battery life, some people in the audience started asking, "Is there fast charging...?"
"We want fast charging, even if it's just a modified universal charger."
"The Mi phone supports battery replacement, which is much more useful than fast charging."
"That's right, and Mr. Lei said he'd sell it for 1999, what more could you ask for?"
"But the Honor phone next door is only 1999 yuan, and it even has fast charging."
However, no one answered these questions anymore. After explaining all the configurations, Lei Jun once again walked to the center of the stage to explain the system.
"Now, the most important part."
"Two months ago, we officially released the first version of the MIUI system. At that time, it was a small-scale internal test, but I did not expect it to be so popular. On the day of the release, we had more than 2000 registered users."
Everyone was very meticulous; on the day of release, they found over 50 bugs. This made us incredibly excited, but also a little guilty about our work…
Fortunately, our fans believe in us and continue to support our work.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, MIUI has released 14 versions to date, fixing 829 bugs and adding 39 new features based on everyone's suggestions.
On the large screen behind them, various bugs and the IDs and avatars of Mi Fans who raised questions flashed by.
When the audience member, MiTu06, saw his image appear on the big screen, he immediately stood up and excitedly cheered.
"I raised that input method issue myself, and Mr. Lei replied to me immediately. I didn't expect it to be featured at the press conference."
"Bro, really?"
"It must be true. Lei Jun himself replied. If you don't believe me, go check the MIUI community."
Lei Jun, standing on the stage, slowly paced back and forth: "I'm not saying these things to show off, I just want to express how much our Mi Fans are..."
He smiled, paused for a moment, and then said, "Very good."
"Because of your support, rice is what it is today. Thank you for the first batch of sparks."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply!
The large screen behind them also displayed MIUI's current registered users: 28...
As a domestically developed UI, this achievement is truly remarkable, especially considering that the company's first product has not yet been released.
The fans in the audience immediately stood up excitedly and began to cheer for Lei Jun.
After all, their actions made Lei Jun very proud.
"However, we will not get carried away. Our MIUI will continue to improve. The release of the first product does not mean that my focus will shift to mobile phone manufacturing."
MIUI is equally important.
For a long time to come, Mr. Hong and I will remain the main people in charge of MIUI. If you have any questions, please feel free to tag me, and I will answer them as soon as possible.
As MIUI is our first product, we will provide long-term service and resolve any issues as soon as possible.
Are you all satisfied?
It's fortunate that Shen Fei wasn't at this press conference, otherwise... otherwise he would have told him about Emperor Jin Fan's tactics...
If the original MIUI was worthy of being recorded in history for its smooth performance and explosive popularity, then MIUI 12 and 12.5 are equally worthy of being recorded in history...
"satisfy!"
"Please announce the price quickly!"
"It must be 1999..."
Lei Jun closed his eyes and listened to the cheers of the Mi Fans. In that moment, he forgot all his troubles and the targeting from Honor of Kings!
They forgot about suppressing the transmission.
"I believe the next part is the moment most Mi fans are most concerned about, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer and let's go straight to the final price announcement."
The price announcement segment adopted the same style as the Honor Play1 launch event, with prices starting to roll.
2999, 2799, 2599... Each time the price was reduced by 200 yuan, and the speed of the reduction became slower and slower.
The students from Kyoto University in the audience immediately became excited; it really was 1999.
With the students leading the way, the shouts from below the stage grew louder and louder: "1999, 1999!"
But Lei Jun didn't listen. The numbers on the stage kept changing, and he suddenly pressed the pause button.
The numbers on the big screen stopped at: "1998".
1+4GB: 1998 yuan.
Supports up to 32GB of memory expansion.
The moment the price was announced on stage, a deafening roar of cheers erupted.
Some excited students even stood up and high-fived, while the more excited ones hugged each other.
Lei Jun stood in the center of the stage, watching the reaction from the audience, his eyes also slightly warming up.
He recalled that when the Honor Play was released three months ago, the price of 1999 yuan drove everyone crazy and made him extremely angry, but now Xiaomi's price of 1998 yuan is 1 yuan cheaper than his.
This one dollar represents his attitude, his retaliation!
Glory will surely be trampled under his feet.
After the audience calmed down a bit, he raised his hand to ask the fans to be quiet.
"Some say that the 1999 yuan price range has been taken over by competitors' Play series, but we need to understand the difference between mid-range and flagship phones."
The screen displayed "Yao Play" as equivalent to a mid-range device...
The three key elements of a flagship phone are listed above: flagship screen, flagship processor, and flagship RAM.
"I believe that seeing these things will make everyone understand that our first-generation Mi is a true flagship phone."
With its 1.25GHz Dragon processor, this is truly a flagship phone built for enthusiasts.
He paused for a moment: "Of course, this 1 yuan difference is our sincerity."
Just as everyone was full of anticipation, waiting for Lei Jun to announce the sales date, he suddenly laughed awkwardly.
"This product smells really good, but I'm sorry to tell you some bad news..."
