Chapter 25 Beginner's Unboxing Review
$149
At $149, it's $50 more than the TECNO T1, placing it in the mid-to-high-end market, but it's still significantly cheaper than expected.
It still offers great value for money and remains within reach of ordinary people who make a little effort to purchase it.
"In addition, everyone present today can purchase tickets at a special price of $139 with their admission ticket."
The scene went wild, with people rushing to the temporary sales point set up outside the venue, and the line instantly stretched for hundreds of meters.
This time, the user base has shifted from being predominantly female to a 60/40 male-to-female ratio, representing significant progress. Battery life and strong signal strength have become key factors in attracting male users.
Backstage, Shen Fei looked at the scene and said to Li Qing next to him, "Notify the factory to start full-speed production."
In addition, the first batch of goods is about to arrive at the port. Pay attention to the cargo scheduling. The second batch of goods should be shipped out as soon as possible and arrive in these more than 20 countries within a month to consolidate our market as quickly as possible.
Assembly plants in Africa also need to be started properly.
An assembly plant is a must, not only for better efficiency, but also as a form of endorsement and a way of giving back to the local community.
After all, making money also requires upgrading.
Of course, Africa is too chaotic, so Transsion will only build an assembly plant there, and the scale will not be too large. The real core will still be based in China.
"Understood." Li Qing's hands were trembling with excitement because she still had a report in her hand.
"Mr. Shen, we've achieved our goal ahead of schedule... 5% market share in Africa. Our department just checked the statistics, and our shipments have already reached 5% market share in Africa."
Breaking 15% this year is absolutely no problem.
Shen Fei nodded, and the system notification sounded appropriately:
Main Quest: Press the attack, 95% complete.
The goal of achieving a 5% market share in Africa is expected to be reached within 24 hours, and the recycling and dismantling center will be ready soon...
It seems there is a discrepancy between the system's sales figures and the data from Transsion's internal statistics. While he was studying this data discrepancy and the recycling and dismantling center, his attention was drawn to something else.
The newly appointed secretary, Li Ziqi, rushed over and reported in a low voice: "President Shen, something has happened in China. Li Xiangdong of Bird Mobile, along with twelve suppliers, issued a joint statement accusing Transsion of unfair competition by poaching their employees."
They also filed a complaint with the relevant authorities, requesting an investigation into Transsion's product qualifications...
A mocking smile instantly appeared on Shen Fei's lips. Sure enough, they came; their methods were still so lousy…
If MediaTek were among these suppliers, he might pay a little more attention to Li Xiangdong and think more highly of him.
The result was still just as stupid.
"Oh, right, boss, there's one more thing..." Li Ziqi hesitated slightly. "That tech blogger, Xiaobai, just released a review video of the T1."
"What's the evaluation?"
"You...you should see for yourself."
When Li Ziqi handed him the laptop, Shen Fei's attention wasn't on the review video, but rather on the playback device in front of him.
This brick is still not as good as a tablet... It seems that the next product can be a tablet, and we can also try out some cutting-edge technology to enhance the center's capabilities.
The laptop was still playing a review titled "Is the TECNO T1, hailed as an 'African miracle phone,' really worth buying?"
The person in the video is a young man in his twenties. His voice has a unique charm; it is clear and bright, full of vitality, and has a touch of everyday warmth.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaobai. Today I'm going to review a very special phone, the TECNO T1."
Looking at its appearance, you can probably tell that it's not much different from a regular feature phone, and could even be classified as a knock-off.
So what makes it so special?
Its manufacturer is a Chinese brand, but it doesn't currently sell domestically; instead, it focuses on the African market. My friend brought one back from Nigeria, and after using it for two weeks, he's had a good experience.
Next comes the standard review interface. First, you open the packaging and throw all the accessories inside into the trash can...
This has been a long-standing tradition of his channel.
Then it was displayed: Transsion's exclusive quad-SIM quad-standby technology.
He disassembled the TECNO T1 in front of the camera, removed the battery which was noticeably larger, and then carefully installed the quad-SIM card and quad-standby.
"This is a unique feature that Transsion designed for the African environment; the four SIM card slots are really awesome."
This is a unique feature designed by Transsion to meet local needs. I've also done some research on this, and the patent has already been applied for. I believe Transsion will continue to focus on this area in the future.
At this moment, some comments also appeared at the top of the video...
"The area is sparsely populated and communication is underdeveloped..."
"Geography students upstairs can leave now. This is a digital channel, not a study channel."
"This feature seems pretty fun; the Sea King is in luck now."
"What a load of rubbish! You can't use all four card slots at the same time."
Amidst the humorous comments in the live chat, the video quickly moved on to the photo comparison segment. Xiaobai's connections were quite good; he found three people: a white person, an Asian person, and a black person.
The devices tested included the Apple 3G, Nokia N95, and Transsion T1.
The result was unsurprising: when filming Black people, the Transsion T1 completely outperformed them, and even had a slight advantage when filming Asian people.
"Transsion's deep skin color optimization algorithm is really impressive." Xiaobai pushed up his glasses. "I consulted a friend who works on image algorithms about the current version, and he said that this algorithm is at least two years ahead of the industry."
But here's the problem... Why doesn't Transsion use this technology in China? With this algorithm, it could easily crush other knock-off phones.
Perhaps it could even become the king of knock-off phones, like Bird.
The comments section was filled with questions like, "Why?"
In the second half of the video, Xiaobai also took apart the box and analyzed the hardware cost for question 1.
"The chip is an old friend of everyone, the MediaTek MTK6225 platform. This chip is the exclusive chip for counterfeit phones."
Aside from its lackluster performance, this chip actually offers excellent value for money. It can make phone calls, send text messages, and take some basic photos.
Aside from being subpar, there are no other problems. This is why, despite its powerful algorithm, the T1 only uses a basic 50-pixel camera.
However, considering that this phone only costs $99! No, it's already $99... even a knock-off phone like this in China isn't cheap.
You can type "Africans are suffering!" in the chat.
The following evaluation was more professional. He carefully analyzed the motherboard: "It has some of its own designs. It's not a direct purchase of MediaTek's solution. The antenna layout is also very professional."
The battery has a capacity of 1600mA, which is the actual capacity and not exaggerated. The overall battery life is very good. Because of this large battery, its standby time can reach about 10 days.
The overall build quality is slightly better than domestic knock-off phones.
So I also wonder, Transsion can clearly make good products, why do they go to Africa? Is it really a treasure trove there...?
At the end of the video, Xiaobai Evaluation said to the camera:
"I've loved playing with gadgets since junior high school and have been a product review blogger for three years now. I've seen too many manufacturers boast about their cutting-edge technology, only to have their products turn out to be terrible."
Transsion was one of the few companies that surprised me. They didn't say much, but the product truly solved the user's problem, so my rating for it is...
