360 special-purpose phone official Weibo suddenly updated: Will the new phone be launched in May this year?

The long-silent 360 official Weibo account suddenly posted a post today: "Zhou Hongyi is going to make a new phone, what about me?" At the same time, the interactive process on Weibo revealed some interesting information: codenames AK47 and 0504. The industry speculates that Zhou Hongyi's new phone may be launched in May.

Why was the new phone released on May 4? Many netizens have read Zhou Hongyi's Weibo, and the most popular one is May 4, 2012. It is the same time as the 0504 reply of today's special attack. Looking back at that year, Zhou Hongyi announced that he started to make 360 ​​special attack machines the next day after publishing this Weibo. After three years, Zhou Hongyi has re-entered the mobile phone industry. When will he release his big move that he has been holding back for so long?

As early as 2012, 360 joined hands with many manufacturers including Huawei, Haier, TCL and Amoi, hoping to achieve "traffic conversion to sales" through 360's advantages, and successively launched a number of "360 special phones". Two years later, the current smartphone market is already in a state of red ocean competition. Zhou Hongyi once again entered the field of mobile terminal R&D and sales, and reached a strategic cooperation with Coolpad. Zhou Hongyi even revealed in an internal letter to employees that the reason for establishing a new company to make mobile phones is to deeply intervene in the underlying operating system and build a truly secure mobile phone.

As early as a month ago, Zhou Hongyi revealed at the 360 ​​internal annual meeting that the new phone will be positioned as high-end, and the price of the new phone may be as high as 5,000 yuan. People in the mobile phone industry said that all signs show that 360's new mobile phone products have been initially finalized and have entered the terminal debugging stage. The official Weibo of 360 Special Edition, which has millions of fans, has begun to update, which is very likely to be a preheating for the early launch of 360's new mobile phone. Then the question is again, what the hell is the code-name AK47?
