Chapter 175 The End and the Future
Although Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ are not yet available on online channels such as Stardust Mall and Stardust official website, the new versions of the two mobile phones are already being shipped in large quantities at offline direct stores, authorized stores, and dealers.
.
This is also Chen Zifan's behavior of notifying him in advance and acquiescing to it. After all, the new version has been officially announced a long time ago. If it weren't for giving them a good ending, it would have been put on the mall directly on the day of the official announcement.
There is nothing to say about replacing the new battery. The employees at the Stardust after-sales center have received professional training and there will be no technical problems.
Unless you are keeping it and planning to sell it second-hand, if you use the phone for yourself, you can replace it with a new sodium-lithium battery for free, and it will not affect the normal functions of the phone and its waterproofing, battery life, and fast charging speed. Why not?
There is Stardust-Chenji in front, the new version... No! The standard version after the price reduction is the most cost-effective! Of course, Chen Zifan will not directly say the price reduction information at the press conference. The reason is very simple:
Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ will be reduced in price this year, while Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ will increase in price by RMB 1,000 next year. Is this gap a bit too big to accept?
Moreover, even if there is no price reduction, the product strength of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ is still there, just sell it, and there is no need to engage in similar promotions.
According to the usual style of Stardust Technology, the two mobile phones will have to wait at least until the Stardust 5 or even Stardust 6 series are released before they are completely removed from the shelves. It is still very early.
It can also be seen from the reaction of the audience that everyone has a very high degree of recognition for the new versions of the two mobile phones. Chen Zifan did not say much and reserved a period of time to play the promotional videos of the three new phones.
Starting from the second promotional video of Xingchen-Chenji, the main content of this promotional video is mainly based on "practical scenes", using concise ways and specific scenes to arouse people's interest in Xingchen-Chenji
.
This is also a routine used by Stardust Technology. Although it is old-fashioned, it is very easy to use. The promotional videos of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ new versions are also very similar, but there are fewer actual scenes and more of them are demonstrations.
Many consumers seemed to realize that this was the last appearance of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+. After the promotional video ended, the applause was very long.
They also suddenly felt a little emotional:
"I bought Stardust 3 for the first time, but before I knew it, I had already bought it for a year! But why is the money in my pocket the same as last year?"
"Me too!"
"Stardust 3+ is really easy to use! Especially in Haicheng, it's like a duck to water! I don't know when we will have this kind of 4G level there!"
"It's coming soon~ Mobile phones with such powerful configurations as Stardust 3+ will be eliminated, so the popularization of 4G is only a matter of time. The news some time ago said that it will be popularized nationwide by the end of next year!"
"Anyway, my goal is very clear. I will not buy Stardust-Chenji. I am only waiting for my Stardust 4!"
"Stardust 4 should also be a 4G phone!"
"Otherwise, no one will buy it! 3G is usable, but the difference from 4G is still a bit too big, and 4G mobile phones can be used for at least five years. 3G mobile phones will be eliminated soon, and you will have to spend money to replace them!"
"right!"
"Hey, it seems that Stardust Technology will not shoot separate commercials for my Stardust 3 in the future."
"What's this?"
"Buy early and enjoy early..."
When some people are still wondering which mobile phone to buy, it has been a year since they first purchased Stardust 3. At least during this year, they have not felt that there is any disadvantage in buying Stardust 3.
They have the necessary configurations and the games they should play. Smartphones have brought them a whole new way of life, as if they have opened the door to a new world.
Others have made more wealth through smartphones, such as the online ride-hailing drivers of Takumi Travel. As for price reductions and so on... they will only complain a few words if they know about it, and they won't take it to heart at all.
Electronic products...
In other words, not just electronic products, there is nothing in this world that will not be eliminated. After Stardust 3 was eliminated, there will be a stronger Stardust 4.
One thing they guessed quite accurately is that there is a high probability that Stardust 4 will not be a 3G mobile phone. After all, 3G is a transitional product and its existence in history is very short.
Now Stardust Technology [Analysis of Shanzhai] and [Synthetic Creation] have developed more complete 4G technology, and the government is also vigorously promoting it. Who still uses 3G?
Even two low-priced brands: Meilan and Redmi will sell hundreds of yuan 4G mobile phones within two years. In other words, next year will be a real 4G popularization storm, and 3G will soon be eliminated.
When the applause ended and the discussion in the audience gradually calmed down, Chen Zifan continued:
"After seeing our three new phones today, I don't know what you think. For me, Stardust 3, Stardust 3+...forget it, there is no need to say any more sensational words, we should all continue to look forward.
right.
I believe many people have seen our new product posters. When one product first appeared, everyone paid a lot of attention to it. It is Stardust Technology’s first electronic paper book: Stardust-Ink!"
Logically speaking, the exposure time of the drone Stardust-Margin is earlier than that of the electronic paper book Stardust-Ink, so it should be ranked at the front of the press conference. However, in terms of product popularity, Stardust-Ink is obviously higher
.
A considerable number of low-level consumers are not interested in drones at all. They only buy Stardust mobile phones because of the brand of Stardust Technology. The service is strong enough, the products are comprehensive and comprehensive, and they are very capable.
In short, no matter what their needs are, Stardust mobile phones can meet them, but for them, mobile phone cameras are sometimes dispensable.
If you can’t even use your phone to take pictures, why buy a drone? Just to fly into the sky and record videos?
Although drones are actually used for a wide range of purposes, they have nothing to do with ordinary people.
Therefore, Stardust-Margin is only targeted at a small group of people with relatively strong financial capabilities. From a practical point of view, Stardust-Margin is a non-rigidly needed product. Some people may question that Stardust-Ink is not a rigidly-needed product either!
The original smartphone Stardust 1 was not a strictly needed product, but who would dare to say that today’s smartphones are not strictly needed? The same is true for Stardust-Ink. It is not a newly needed product, but its audience is wider.
And there is a very important point, that is, its battery life is too exaggerated! An electronic paper book with only one day of battery life is definitely not a necessity, but if it has a battery life of more than thirty days... then it is a necessity product!
Even if it is not a rigid need, it can become a rigid need!
As we all know, Chinese people are very capable of doing homework, studying, etc. To put it more simply, people need to constantly improve to live a better life, and reading is the simplest way to improve, although it may not be useful.
But what does that matter?
Chen Zifan only needs to establish a certain "relationship" between Stardust and Ink Paintings and consumers, and use products to describe bright prospects to them. For example, tablet computers are required for postgraduate entrance examinations, and instill similar concepts.
In fact, whether you can succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination is not necessarily related to whether you have a tablet computer, but you see, others have tablet computers and are reading online classes all day long. If you don't have a tablet computer, you can only read books by yourself.
The same is true for Stardust-Ink. For others who have Stardust-Ink, it is like taking a library with you when you go out. You can read whatever books you want, but you can only take one physical book with you when you go out, and it is very large.
And the operating experience is obviously worse.
So what do you choose?
Others use their free time to study to improve themselves, expand their knowledge, increase their knowledge, and can talk eloquently in many situations because they have a huge reserve of knowledge, but you don’t have these things when you need them!
Will you miss a lot of opportunities?
Maybe what you missed was the opportunity to jump from poverty to wealth. Will you regret it?
This is a typical way of creating anxiety and then creating demand. Chen Zifan and Wang Jinli both like to use this method to stimulate product sales. This is not an aboveboard method, but it’s okay~
The strength of Stardust-Ink's own hardware and software products is there, and you won't lose money if you buy it!
This is indeed the case. After hearing about Stardust-Ink, many viewers at the scene cheered. Even many consumers watching the Stardust press conference in front of various screens couldn't help but get excited.
This is an electronic paper book from Stardust Technology!
A monster that is rumored to last more than a month!
And the blessing of Huaxin Bookstore!
A perfect mobile library!
Coupled with the fast USB charging, why else buy a Kindle? Isn’t it a good idea to buy Stardust-Ink?
Before Chen Zifan could say anything, they had already taken care of themselves. Chen Zifan himself did not expect that he had underestimated people's desire for books.
After the cheers, the lights of the Xinghai Stadium were adjusted again. At the same time, all the big screens were playing Stardust-Ink's promotional video. Like Stardust-Chenji, the introduction was still based on parameter introduction.
Of course, there are only two things that attract them most: long battery life and a large number of genuine e-books!
The promotional video is very simple, but the amount of information in it is very large. Many people have never seen the Stardust-ink poster at all, and they had no interest in e-paper books at first, but after the promotional video is played...
My opinion has completely changed!
There is only one thought in their minds:
This TM is a real electronic paper book!
Chen Zifan did not care that the sound at the scene had not quieted down this time. After the lights came on, he took a Stardust-Ink and started to introduce:
"What I have in my hand is a white version of Stardust-Ink, and there is a black version in front of me. As the saying goes, black on white, black and white are more simple and can better reflect the theme of ink.
Stardust-Ink is different from any of our previous products. As you can see, it comes with a stylus and protective cover. The stylus is stored in the upper right corner of the fuselage and can be taken out at any time when using it.
.
The original protective cover is made of customized kraft paper material, which not only ensures the hand feel, but also provides very good protection for electronic paper books.
The front of Stardust-Ink is equipped with a 7:5 ink screen. Its size ratio is almost exactly the same as that of a book. The screen size is equivalent to a 32K sheet, which is the size of A5 (half of A4).
Since Ink Screen cannot achieve a pure black screen, you can see that the lock screen interface of Stardust-Ink Screen looks like this... After unlocking, its main interface icons are fixed and cannot be adjusted.
Let me tell you something about product development. The screen of Stardust-Ink is a "reduced layer screen". In order to achieve the effect of the screen being as white as paper, we even removed the capacitive layer at the beginning.
In other words... the original Stardust-Ink cannot be controlled with fingers, but now Stardust-Ink, as you can see, I can slide it with my hand and click it at will to operate it!
The reason is very simple: fingers are our innate and most convenient touch tools. If you can use an electronic paper book by borrowing a stylus, what is the difference between it and the previously eliminated button-function machines?
Our efforts on the screen go beyond that. In order to provide a better display effect, we have self-developed a 16-level grayscale algorithm, which can simulate a 256-level grayscale display effect, making it more delicate and vivid!
And the ppi value of this ink screen exceeds 300, reaching 326, and the display precision is even better than that of real books! At the same time, its refresh rate also breaks through the limit of the original ink screen!
