Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On February 16, the Samsung Galaxy S3 came, with Snapdragon 800 processor, Android 4.0 system, equipped with a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED capacitive screen, and the price in China is 4999 yuan.

Starting with the Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung's mobile phone voice assistant also came.

Last year's S2 was hailed as the most successful Android phone in the world, but even so, the sales volume was not satisfactory, and it was stunned by Chinese mobile phone brands. Now Android 4.0 claims to increase the fluency by 1.8 times, and with the Snapdragon 800, see It can be concluded that this time Samsung feels that the possibility of turning around is coming.

Immediately after the press conference, the publicity investment was increased, and the market was bound to be regained.

After Samsung, LG, and HTC released new phones one after another, and people in the industry can tell at a glance that these companies have cooperated, because everyone is pushing the combination of Snapdragon 800+Android 4.0.

For a while, China's domestic mobile phones seemed to be dying in the public opinion. In fact, Samsung's strategy is also very simple. They don't really want to crush Huaxia mobile phones with this combination, as long as they can do almost the same. .

Under the same premise, using your own marketing advantages to conduct indiscriminate public opinion guidance, it is really difficult for users to distinguish between similar products. In many cases, users just follow the public opinion.

See which mobile phone everyone says is better and the price is similar, then buy it.

After all, apart from Hongmeng, Huaxia's other brands have not successfully established their own strong user stickiness.

In March, there were indeed some Chinese manufacturers who were caught off guard and finally adjusted, and they began to meet with you one after another.

The first press conference was Meizu, and the mobile phone Meizu brought was Meizu pro5. Not surprisingly, Meizu pro5 uses the MX1 processor, which did not bring any surprises to the public.

Meizu did not spend too much energy on the processor, and the focus of the entire press conference was on the system.

"From the perspective of intuitive functions, Meizu pro5 also began to support fingerprint recognition, face recognition and smart voice assistants for mobile phones.

Looking at the interface of pro5 again, we adopt a flat style, with a card layout and brand-new color elements, the interface is sober and simple.

At the same time, we have added natural transition animation effects to make up for the visual tearing caused by interface switching. Our side-sliding menu, drop-down hover, upward-swipe to unlock, smart keyboard and other functions can make the operation of large-screen mobile phones easier. more interesting”

The Meizu spokesperson first gave a general presentation of the system interface and basic functions. When the press conference got to this point, many people always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn’t tell for a while. People were listening attentively. Time is easy to ignore thinking.

The stage continued to chat about the system, "Let's talk about a common problem of smartphones in the past two years, the phone freezes.

Smartphones will freeze after using for a period of time. This can be said to be the most concerned thing for smartphone users. We must first understand that the freeze of mobile phones is mainly due to configuration and system reasons.

Needless to say how to solve the configuration problem, the configuration of the 800 mobile phone and the 8000 mobile phone must be different.

It can be said that how to solve the system problem is the focus now. The important point here is the malicious launch of a large number of applications, and even many times it is a joint crime.

In response to this problem, we optimized the process management code of the Vientiane system to limit the startup behavior that is not allowed by users. Of course, considering the attributes of different applications and the needs of different users, we will also provide self-start management, and users can Set the auto-start behavior of the application.

In addition, some applications are allowed to run in the background. When the user turns off the screen and the mobile phone is in standby mode, these applications can wake themselves up periodically to monitor whether the server has a message to send to the user.

For this reason, we also optimized the code of the wake-up module and introduced a synchronous wake-up mechanism to make the wake-up cycle of the background application consistent. "

When the release came to this point, the strange feeling in more and more people's hearts became more and more serious. What's going on? What's wrong?

Until someone at the scene shouted directly, "Isn't Meizu a mobile phone?"

yes!

It finally dawned on everyone, isn’t Meizu a mobile phone maker? Why do you keep talking about what kind of system we designed and what kind of system function we optimized?

At this time, the protagonist of today's Meizu press conference appeared,

"In fact, Meizu users have not been using pure Vientiane system in recent years. When we obtained the authorization of Vientiane system from Vientiane Technology, we will make various optimizations for Vientiane system from the beginning.

After several years of understanding and cognition of the Vientiane system, we finally decided to launch a deep customization system based on the Vientiane system, the flyme system. "

Speaking of which, the Meizu press conference began to give a more comprehensive introduction to the flyme system, from the development process, to the development team, to the core advantages, and finally even shouted the slogan that the flagship model will not be stuck in three years.

It is not a big deal for future generations to be free of cards for three years, but in 2012, it is really a challenge to say that it is really a challenge.

After the press conference, Meizu's flyme system really became the subject of heated discussions in the market. When it comes to in-depth customization systems, everyone will naturally think of Xiaomi. As expected, just three days after the Meizu conference, Xiaomi's conference came.

At Xiaomi's press conference, the very classic MIUI V4 also came. The reason why MIUI V4 is classic is firstly because it is the first third-party ROM based on Android 4.0 in China. Of course, this life has become based on the Vientiane system.

Secondly, MIUI V4 added voice assistant, free desktop, MiCloud and other functions, and opened the Xiaomi App Store, and Xiaomi's system ecology began from then on.

However, things are not over yet. Another three days later, at the Huawei press conference, Huawei's in-depth customization system EMUI came, and three days later, Nubia's in-depth customization system nubia UI also came.

In the tide of Chinese mobile phone conferences in March, the in-depth customization system of domestic mobile phone brands has become the biggest highlight, and this highlight is simply hitting Samsung's fate.

Samsung's mobile phone technology is really durable, and its brand power can basically resist, but the biggest problem is the system. Samsung is somewhat belatedly aware of system problems. In fact, after 2016, Samsung made a thorough improvement to the Android system. Changing the tradition of Samsung's mobile phone system being poor, but in 2016, Samsung had a blast, at least in the Chinese market, it was lost, even if the Samsung mobile phone system after 2016 was indeed much better.

But now it is 2012, and whoever uses the Samsung mobile phone system in 2012 knows.

At the end of March, mobile phones went on sale one after another, and users responded.

"The optimized system is really much smoother than before. I feel that the Meizu mobile phone uses the Hongmeng system."

"Xiaomi's system is also very good, and it's not a loss to start with."

"I didn't expect Huawei to be able to make the system so well. In my impression, Huawei is also a company that focuses on hardware."

"This time the MX1 works very well with these deeply optimized systems."

"MX1 itself is a custom processor, and the mobile phone manufacturers in the Vientiane camp have released a deep customization system. The effect must be extraordinary."

"The Vientiane camp has almost launched its own deepin system this year, but the Android camp has made little progress. Now Qualcomm's chips can't show any advantages. How do I feel that Android is going to be cold?"

"The main Android gameplay has been directly confronted with Vientiane from the very beginning. It can only be head-to-head with Vientiane, and it will also be used as a positive comparison by the market. Originally, Android has always been inferior to Vientiane. Now with the support of mobile phone manufacturers, I think Few people will choose Android phones in the future.”

Perhaps as a person from another time and space, it is difficult to imagine that Android was the first to lose in the mobile phone system war, but this is what will change after the historical process is rewritten.

Just like netizens said, Android just happened to match up with Vientiane, so with the rapid development of Vientiane, Android can only cool down first.

With the arrival of April, the situation became more and more clear. At this time, some people in the United States began to worry, "The entire mobile phone system market will not be monopolized by China in the future."

"Google is a company that can only brag. It is completely expected that Android will lose, but when it comes to making systems, we in the United States have an absolute trump card."

In early April, a hot topic appeared on Twitter in the United States: #起微微软#.
