Following this came the matter of the phone's camera. The camera of the Da Mi M1 smartphone used the same 8-megapixel Sony lens as the Geek S1 smartphone.
However, the front-facing camera was upgraded from a 300,000-pixel lens to a 1-megapixel Sony lens, a significant increase in pixels.
As for the phone's photography algorithms, Gao Nian was not stingy and directly gave the Da Mi M1 smartphone the photography algorithms from the Geek S2 smartphone.
Afterward, Gao Nian also deeply tuned the Da Mi phone's 8-megapixel rear camera and 1-megapixel front-facing Sony camera, perfectly unlocking the performance of these two cameras.
It could be said that if the 8-megapixel and 1-megapixel cameras weren't inferior to the Geek S2 smartphone's 12-megapixel and 8-megapixel cameras,
then the Da Mi M1 phone's photo quality would definitely be on par with the Geek S2 smartphone.
However, unfortunately, the difference in camera pixel count was undeniable. The 12-megapixel and 8-megapixel combination was simply superior to the 8-megapixel and 1-megapixel combination.
Therefore, the Da Mi M1 smartphone's photo quality still had a significant gap compared to the Geek S2 smartphone.
Of course, even so, it was still in a guaranteed winning position against other 8-megapixel and 12-megapixel phones.
After the selling point of phone photography, the Da Mi M1 phone didn't have any other exclusive black technologies, so it could be seen as a stripped-down version of the Geek S2 smartphone.
As for what consumers thought?
They naturally liked the Da Mi M1 smartphone quite a bit, because the stripped-down version meant it was cheaper, meaning they could afford it.
As for the prices of these two phones?
In the following press conference, Gao Nian successively announced the prices of these two phones.
Among them, the 16GB standard edition of the Geek S2 smartphone was priced at 4299 yuan, which, according to the current exchange rate of ,
converted to US dollars, would be 632 US dollars.
As for the 32GB high-end edition of the Geek S2 smartphone, the price was much higher, rising to 5299 yuan, which, according to the exchange rate of ,
would be 779 US dollars!
"Hiss!"
Many people at the scene couldn't help but gasp when they saw this price.
They didn't expect the Geek S2 smartphone to be so expensive; it simply exceeded their imagination.
After all, the previous generation Geek S1 smartphone's standard edition, at its cheapest, had been reduced to 1999 yuan.
As a result, the current Geek S2 smartphone's standard edition directly rose to a full 4299 yuan. Wasn't this too exaggerated?
Moreover, the high-end edition actually cost 5299 yuan. This price was simply too expensive, causing many people who were originally prepared to splurge to withdraw their hands.
Regarding this, Gao Nian wasn't flustered in the slightest.
Because the previous life had already proven that even such a high price couldn't stop consumers' enthusiasm for shopping.
Because when the iPhone 4S smartphone entered the domestic market in its previous life, the price reached an astonishing 4999 yuan and 5999 yuan.
Therefore, the Geek Technology Company's quotation at this time was already considered very benevolent.
It could be said that if it weren't for the consideration of increasing the market share of the Geek smart phone system and suppressing the Nokia N9, which was priced at 4599 yuan and 5699 yuan,
then Gao Nian really wanted to learn from the iPhone's pricing of 4999 yuan and 5999 yuan and then earn generous profits.
Because even with such a high price in its previous life, Apple had sold a full million phones globally in more than a year.
The price of the Geek S2 smartphone at this time was only 4299 yuan and 5299 yuan, greatly lowering the barrier to purchase, and sales would naturally be higher than the iPhone 4S in its previous life.
Of course, the price introduction segment ultimately wasn't completed. Next was the price introduction segment for the Da Mi M1 smartphone.
Compared to the Geek S2 smartphone, which mainly targeted the high-end market, the Da Mi M1 smartphone targeted the mid-to-low-end market and was also a smartphone specifically targeting the Nokia 5230 smartphone.
Therefore, in terms of price, the Da Mi M1 smartphone was enough to drive people crazy and enough to make people take out their money.
As for what the price was?
The 8GB standard edition of the Da Mi M1 smartphone was priced at 2499 yuan, which, converted to US dollars, was only a mere 367 US dollars.
As for the 16GB high-end edition, the price wasn't too expensive either, only 3299 yuan.
Compared to that super-practical 16GB of super-large space, this was simply too profitable. It could install a lot of games.
From then on, there was no need to consider the reality that the phone couldn't hold too many large games, and one would ultimately need to delete this game before being able to play another game.
So, after the people at the scene saw this price, they all cheered for Geek Technology Company, directly calling Geek Technology Company awesome.
After all, if they couldn't afford the Geek S2 smartphone, could it be that they still couldn't afford the Da Mi M1 smartphone?
Many people could still afford the Da Mi M1 smartphone if they gritted their teeth, so they all thanked Geek Technology Company.
After the press conference ended, Geek Technology Company immediately opened up sales permissions for the official website store and online shopping channels.
Allowing consumers around the world to purchase the Geek S2 smartphone and Da Mi M1 smartphone through the Geek Mall and online shopping platforms such as TaoBao, Jingdong, and Amazon.
Subsequently, the outbreak of the shopping frenzy directly shocked countless people, causing the media that night and in the following days to discuss this matter.
Because the online shopping sales channels had only been open for 10 minutes, the sales volume of the Geek S2 smartphone had already exceeded 100,000 units.
However, the sales volume that was the most fierce was still the Da Mi M1 smartphone, which only took 5 minutes to break through 100,000 units in sales!
Of course, whether it was 5 minutes or 10 minutes, it was actually just a topical meaning.
The truly decisive parameters still depended on the sales volume of the entire day in the future and the next few days.
So, after the news that 100,000 phones were sold in 5 minutes and 10 minutes was reported by domestic and foreign media, countless people were paying attention to the subsequent sales results.
They all wanted to know how fierce the Geek S2 smartphone and Da Mi M1 smartphone were and how high the sales volume was.
Among them, Geek Technology Company also officially announced that starting from 8:00 AM tomorrow morning, Geek Appliance stores would officially sell the Geek S2 smartphone and Da Mi M1 smartphone!
So, the phenomenon of lining up to buy phones in the middle of the night had not only appeared in the Beautiful Country but had also appeared on the land of China.
In the middle of the night before the official sale of the Geek smart phone, many consumers who couldn't wait to own the Geek S2 smartphone or Da Mi M1 smartphone also went out to line up in the middle of the night in advance.
Among them, some people who owned smart phones naturally took photos and videos.
Uploading their pictures or videos of themselves and others lining up to buy phones in the middle of the night to platforms such as Geek Short Video, Weibo, Twitter, Facebook, and Youku, which caused Internet controversy for a time.
Some people felt that this matter was a promotional activity of Geek Technology Company, and those people who lined up to buy phones in the middle of the night were all people who were paid, all models.
But more people still believed this matter.
After all, when the Geek S1 smart phone was launched in the Beautiful Country last year, it caused the people of the Beautiful Country to line up in the middle of the night in advance.
It was just that although there was no lining up in the middle of the night in China, it also caused the phenomenon of Geek Appliance stores being crowded.
Under such circumstances, they naturally believed that the matter of those people lining up to buy phones in the middle of the night was real.
And time passed slowly like this. On the fourth day after the release of the Geek S2 smartphone, on the morning of August 14, 2009,
Geek Technology Company officially announced the three-day sales results of the two phones!
