The world is in trouble

Chapter 334 sold like hotcakes! A complete smash hit!
The Quantum Phone 2 has so many innovations and breakthroughs this time.

So much so that there was a point where it lasted less than two minutes.

That's a fully laminated screen.

The world's first fully laminated product.

Early smartphones had a drawback: there was a gap between the outer screen and the inner screen. On the surface, this didn't affect usability, but it created a sense of distance between the phone screen and the user, especially between the user's fingers, as if the screen were sunk inside the phone.

Lin Xiao wanted to solve this pain point when he was working on the Note, but the technology was not mature at the time.

Now, this process has finally been achieved.

It allows the cover, touchscreen, and interior to fit together tightly.

This wasn't clearly apparent at the launch event, but the impact is very noticeable when users actually use it, and the upgrade for users is enormous.

Only a fully laminated screen can give the impression that the image is directly floating on the glass.

In addition, there is a technological innovation.

Quantum Technology and XTA Semiconductor jointly released the Lightning 1.0 fast charging protocol, which directly boosts charging speed to 5V 2A.

10W fast charging may not seem like much a decade or two later, but in 2010 it was absolutely super fast charging, almost twice the industry standard.

But this feature was only discussed for less than two minutes.

Although the SOC has become more advanced and the power consumption ratio has decreased, the 1080P screen has become a major power consumer. In order to still maintain its top-tier battery life, the Quantum Phone 2 has directly increased the battery capacity to 2850 mAh.

The high-energy batteries of the same era were explained in less than a minute.

Despite the battery being increased by about 40%, the phone's thickness remained unchanged, still within 9 millimeters.

The most challenging aspects here are the design complexity and the precision of the workmanship.

Along with the release of the Quantum Phone 2, the X System 2.0 was also launched.

One of the major features introduced in this x2.0 is the voice assistant.

To enable this feature, Quantum Technology also acquired the world's and China's best voice recognition solutions three years ago.

Although at this point it was far from being artificial intelligence, and was still quite formulaic.

but……

When Wu Di shouted into the Quantum 2 phone, "Hi, Alex, call my boss!"

The phone's smart assistant simply replied, "OK, I can do it."

Then, the phone automatically found the boss's contact in the address book and dialed the number.

After a while!
The phone in Lin Xiao's lap, which was sitting below, rang.

Suddenly all the cameras were pointed at his face.

He took out his phone and pressed the answer button: "What?"

Wu Di on stage: "No, it's nothing."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Then, Wu Di picked up his phone and said, "Hi, Alex, I want to take a selfie."

This time, we used Chinese.

The phone assistant replied, "Okay, I've opened the camera."

Then, the phone automatically turned on the front-facing camera.

"Don't blink, three, two, one!"

Filming complete.

A selfie of Wu Di appeared on the big screen.

Next, Wu Di demonstrated a variety of voice assistant functions.

This is just blatant showing off!

Do you think this voice assistant is really a necessity? Does it really bring a significant improvement to the user experience? Can it truly free up your hands? Not necessarily!

but……

This feature is so cool!
Moreover, quantum technology is the first of its kind in the world.

Apple's Siri won't be released until next year.

The entire audience, and audiences around the world, were once again stunned.

I was amazed once again.

Because I've never seen it before.

I rely on!

Crazy, completely crazy!
Quantum technology shouldn't be a matter of the future, or even next year.

Each of these innovations, taken out at random, could be a killer feature for a new product.

If you take it all out at once, how will you manage in the future?

....................................

Finally, it was the typical game introduction segment.

Each generation of Quantum flagship phones is accompanied by dedicated AAA games.

From Plants vs. Zombies, Protect the Carrot, Temple Run, Lightning Racing, Modern Warfare, and more.

It's fair to say that Fantasy Studio is a top-tier player in the mobile game industry.

Fantasy products are always top-notch.

In mobile games, whether on iOS or the X operating system, all of Fantasy Studio's games dominate the charts.

Of course, it still resulted in losses.

There are still not enough smartphone users, especially high-end smartphones.

Fantasy Studio has released dozens of classic mobile games to date.

Only a company as well-funded as Lightning Entertainment would continuously invest manpower and resources to create one high-quality product after another in order to build a strong content moat.

This year's two flagship titles are true blockbusters in the mobile game industry.

Clash Royale.

The school is in ruins.

In this world, miHoYo probably doesn't exist anymore, because all the core members of the company are now at the Fantasy Studio of Lightning Group.

Although games like Plants vs. Zombies and Temple Run were once extremely popular.

But the games that truly ignited the mobile game craze were the Honkai series, Honor of Kings, PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact, and others.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Fantasy Studio will dominate half of the mobile game market in the future.

The next focus for Fantasy Studios will be the mobile version of League of Legends, as this is their key to making money.

………………

Finally, the price is announced.

The Quantum Phone 2 has increased in price by 600 yuan compared to the Quantum Phone 1 and 1S.

Standard version: 4599; PRO version: 6599.

Moreover, there are no major changes in the appearance design alone.

It still uses the classic design.

This time, however, the metal frame comes in an additional color, adding a light gold border to complement the rose gold.

However... given its appearance, users worldwide have almost no complaints.

Because this design is just too classic.

Most importantly, you don't have to worry about lacking recognizability at all; once you buy a new phone, others will be able to tell at a glance.

Because it has a fingerprint sensor on the front, and the screen-to-body ratio has been greatly improved, and most importantly, there are two cameras on the back.

Therefore, the need to show off is not hindered at all.

..........................................

After the press conference ended.

Many video review creators haven't even had a chance to upload their videos yet, but global tech media outlets are already reporting on it extensively.

"The most exciting technology product in the past two years."

"He is truly changing the world."

"What he gave us far exceeded our expectations."

"Compared to it, all competitors become mediocre."

Almost all major global tech media outlets gave the entire launch event high praise and commended the Quantum Phone 2.

Following the mainstream media reports, countless video review bloggers celebrated.

Almost all content creators worldwide have reviewed this phone from various perspectives.

"Fingerprint recognition is truly a great innovation."

"Before using it, you might not notice the difference. So every time you still enter a password or draw a line to unlock, it doesn't feel cumbersome. But once you use fingerprint recognition, you'll know there's no going back." "Because it's so much more convenient, so much more natural, and even so much more secure than previous unlocking methods."

"In addition, I think the biggest improvement and innovation in user experience is the fully laminated screen."

"The feeling of the image floating on the glass was wonderful, and the feeling of zero distance between the finger and the icon was wonderful."

"This year, Apple launched a 640P screen and claimed that it was a Retina display. But that's not true. The Quantum Phone 2 is the real Retina display."

"This is the first time I've realized that a mobile phone screen can be so clear and so detailed."

"And the color of this screen is also top-notch. This almost confirms a rumor in the tech industry that the best screens are supplied to quantum technology first, then to Apple, and finally to Android."

"Sharp, the father of LCD screens, has shown tremendous vitality in recent years. Although LG is catching up very quickly, there is still a certain gap between it and Sharp."

"With 1080P resolution, Sharp's top-notch technology, full lamination, and a higher screen-to-body ratio, the Quantum Phone 2 not only crushes its competitors the moment it lights up, but also makes people feel that it's not a product from the same era."

"The year before last and last year, global users did not have a clear concept of smartphones, and the vast majority of users did not even know what the best one was."

"But this year is really different. The moment you turn on your phone with your fingerprint, you know... this is the best in the world!"

........................

Because this product is so popular and generates so much buzz.

Therefore, these video bloggers have gained huge traffic; a mobile phone review video was even divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.

It seemed as if they wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to explain things clearly at the press conference.

These content creators compared their products with competing products from various functions and perspectives.

Watch ultra-high-definition videos, play games, and so on.

In every aspect, it is a huge leader.

The biggest advantage of iOS was originally its native operating system.

For the quantum phone, this is also the native system. Although it is open source and allows other manufacturers to customize it, for the quantum phone, it was completed bit by bit by engineers from both sides.

Even... when designing the chip, compatibility with the X system was fully considered.

In terms of photography performance, it still manages to achieve remarkable results.

Firstly, the algorithm developed in collaboration with Leica has certain advantages.

Most importantly, it is a whole generation ahead of the industry in the most basic CMOS.

The relationship between quantum technology and Sony is too close, especially after Kazuo Hirai became chairman of Sony, the priority of quantum technology within the Sony Group has been further enhanced.

The latest CMOS sensors not only have higher pixel density but also larger sensor size, representing a significant improvement over the previous generation.

Therefore, this directly leads to a result.

The generational gap in photographic quality.

Of course, Sony's historical advantage in mobile imaging will be overtaken by Samsung and Huawei in a few years.

However, in the past few years, Sony had a huge advantage in this area.

........................

Three days later!

Quantum Technology has finally released its sales figures for the first 24 hours.

160 million units worldwide! (Including pre-orders)
Finally... quantitative change led to qualitative change.

Through three generations of mobile phone development and brand building, we have achieved significant progress.

The quantum phone finally got the answer Lin Xiao wanted.

The sales on this first day far exceeded those of all its competitors this year.

It's much, much better than the 100 million I expected.

Then, Quantum Technology announced these sales figures!
The global technology and mobile phone industries were once again shaken.

We knew these sales figures could be high, but they're actually this terrifying?
This is more than double the first-day sales of the previous flagship Quantum NOTE.

It also surpasses this year's sales champion, the iPhone 4, by a significant margin.

It's many times better than Google's flagship Nexus One.

Based on this first-day sales data, the total sales of this phone over the entire period are very likely to exceed 30 million units.

Next, the American TV station conducted a survey, randomly interviewing users who purchased the quantum phone from carriers or stores that specialize in quantum phones.

What kind of phone did you use before?

"Quantum 1S".

What kind of phone did you use before?

Samsung I7500.

Motorola Drios.

Nokia 5800.

They interviewed approximately 300 samples and ultimately reached a conclusion.

At least in the US market, only 30% of users who bought the Quantum Phone 2 were Quantum Phone users.

20% are users of other brands of mobile phones running the X operating system.

25% are Android phone users.

10% are Apple phone users.

15% are feature phone users.

Then, the TV program came to a conclusion.

"Perhaps our sample size is not large enough, but at least in the US market, a small number of Apple users and a considerable number of Android phone users are switching to quantum phones."

"Apple still has a certain competitive advantage due to the success of the iPhone 4 and the three-year usage inertia of the iOS system."

"But Android might be in big trouble. Because a quarter of the users who bought the Quantum Phone 2 were Android users."

"Because of the excellence of the Quantum Phone 2, this migration may be irreversible."

Next, quantum technology released updated data.

The Quantum Phone 2 series sold over 400 million units in its first week!

Unfortunately, Quantum Technology is not listed on the stock market, otherwise its stock price would have skyrocketed.

However, this can be reflected in the price of another stock, namely Google's stock price.

It has been falling for several days in a row.

Although its market capitalization is still very, very high, it remains strong in other aspects.

………………

Microsoft, on the other hand, was extremely grateful that it had acquired Motorola.

Two months later, they will launch their first flagship Windows Mobile 7 phone.

The existence of quantum technology has brought the smartphone revolution forward and accelerated the process of intensification.

Today, almost everyone is convinced that feature phones are doomed!

Seeing the booming sales of the Quantum Phone 2, Microsoft felt that it had caught this wave of popularity; if it had waited another year or two, it might have been too late.

Just look at Nokia; it remains the world's number one mobile phone vendor this year, with total shipments still exceeding 4 million.

However, Nokia's stock price has already begun to plummet.

Historically, Nokia's stock price reached $9.25 in September.

By October, Nokia's stock price had fallen to just $6.70 per share.

In just a few months, its market value has dropped by more than a third, and now its total market value is only $239 billion.

The key point is that this is a trend, and it will continue to fall, and continue to fall.

........................

10 Month 30 Day!
Quantum Technology has issued another announcement.

The Quantum Phone 2 series achieved total sales of over 1200 million units in its first month!

The entire mobile phone industry and the entire technology industry went crazy!
This trend is terrifying.

Moreover, mid-range phones equipped with the X2 chip, such as the Coolpad K2, and a whole host of low- to mid-priced phones with updated SoCs and screens are about to sweep the market.

In response to this trend, LG issued a statement.

Next year, LG will focus its smartphone production on the X operating system.

This is the first time an international giant has made a formal statement.

Samsung finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Samsung Group's Lee Jae-yong made an official visit to South Korea, focusing on quantum technology.

Another arrogant giant has finally given in.

………………

Note: That's all for now. I'd really appreciate your monthly votes, thank you!
