If you don’t understand, just ask, what is the difference between a mobile phone that costs more than 1,000 yuan and a mobile phone that costs 6,000 or 7,000 yuan?

It is said that mobile phones are getting more and more expensive. The price of domestic mobile phones, which were once known for their cheapness, has now soared to 6,000 or 7,000 yuan, which surprised many people. Many people think that domestic mobile phones are sold at this price, and if they have 6,000 yuan, wouldn’t it be better to buy an Apple phone?

Insiders will tell us for sure that the current Apple phones are not necessarily better than domestic flagship phones. In other words, there is some reason why those domestic phones that cost 6,000 or 7,000 yuan are so expensive. Let's talk about why those 6,000 yuan phones are so expensive, and what are the differences between them and phones that cost more than 1,000 yuan?

First, the quality control is different. The more expensive the price, the better the quality control.

Even a mobile phone novice who doesn't know much about the business can clearly tell which phone is more expensive when seeing a phone that costs 6,000 or 7,000 yuan and a phone that costs more than 1,000 yuan. Mobile phone novices may not understand the configuration of mobile phones, but we can also see the essential difference between the two types of mobile phones from the appearance. The appearance of the 6,000 or 7,000 yuan phone is not only more exquisite and beautiful, but also has a smaller screen border and a clearer screen. Moreover, these expensive mobile phones also feel extraordinary. Sometimes they are made of materials such as ceramics or plain leather, which makes it easier for us to recognize them.

Ordinary mobile phones that cost more than 1,000 yuan cannot afford such high-end materials. The quality control of mobile phones that cost 6,000 or 7,000 yuan is higher, which not only means that they are more beautiful and feel better, but they are also more durable. Ordinary mobile phones that cost 1,000 yuan may break their screens after being dropped a few times, but mobile phones that cost 6,000 or 7,000 yuan are not easy to break because they use more advanced screen materials. Of course, there is no need for mobile phone users to test their own mobile phones.

Second, the hardware is different and there is a clear gap in configuration

The most obvious difference between a 6,000-7,000 yuan phone and a 1,000 yuan phone is of course the hardware configuration. The flagship phone uses a flagship-level configuration and is equipped with a more powerful processor, while the performance of the 1,000 yuan phone is obviously not as smooth as the flagship phone. Today's flagship phones are equipped with advanced fast charging functions as standard. Although the 1,000 yuan phone also supports fast charging, the charging speed is obviously not as fast as that of the flagship phone.

The biggest advantage of flagship phones is still photography. All the camera kings in the mobile phone industry are flagship phones. 1,000 yuan phones can't squeeze in because their hardware is far behind that of flagship phones. Not to mention that flagship phones also have special photography optimization technologies, and sometimes even cooperate with professional camera manufacturers to truly achieve professional-level photography.

Third, the overall strength is different, and the flagship phone has fewer shortcomings

We said above that the configurations of phones priced at 6,000 to 7,000 yuan are different from those of phones priced over 1,000 yuan. Some users may argue that some phones priced at 1,000 yuan now have the same configurations as flagship phones. This is indeed the case. For example, the popular Redmi K40 this year has a starting price of less than 2,000 yuan, but it is equipped with a Snapdragon 870 chip, and its hardware is basically comparable to some phones priced at 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. But even if the processor is the same, the overall experience of the Redmi K40 is definitely not as good as that of a flagship phone priced at 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.

The Redmi K40 has obvious shortcomings in terms of fast charging, supporting only 33W fast charging, while those phones priced at 4,000 or 5,000 yuan can easily support 65W fast charging, and even support wireless fast charging. In addition, the Redmi K40's camera performance has also been criticized, which is not the case on flagship phones.

Although the current domestic flagship phones are indeed overpriced, we must also see that those phones that cost as much as 4,000 to 5,000 yuan or even 5,000 to 6,000 yuan do have many real capabilities. Their advantages in screen, fast charging and photography are far beyond the reach of even Apple. So would you buy those high-priced flagship phones now?
