Did Wang Feng make Xiaomi cry at the Meizu press conference on September 23?

On September 23, when you see Wang Feng singing on the stage, it may not be a concert or "The Voice of China", but a press conference for the launch of Meizu mobile phones...

Okay, as a technology media, let’s get back to the issue of mobile phones.

Following MX and Meizu Blue, Meizu launched a new high-end product line PRO, as well as a high-end mobile phone PRO 5 that uses almost all the parameters that can be stacked from the processor to the camera, but emphasizes that it does not compete on parameters.

Although some people are confused as to why the numerical codes in the product names of the new series are aligned with the MX series right from the start, it has to be said that Meizu has done a very "Xiaomi-like" job this time, and compared to Xiaomi, this job seems to have been done more beautifully.

What is the best phone ever?

Speaking of domestic high-end mobile phones, in addition to the Huawei Mate 7 and a certain titanium luxury product that "is so popular that I have no idea why", the top-end version of Xiaomi Note, which is called "the king of Android phones" in the advertising slogan, is definitely one that cannot be ignored.

It's a pity that this "king of phones" still has some regrettable aspects. For example, mobile phones that support fingerprint recognition are already sold for 899, but the "king of phones" still can't read your fingers; for example, the gorgeous 2K screen is equipped with the "power-hungry" Snapdragon 810 processor, which makes the "king of phones" have the potential to become "a fire in winter"; for example, when the screen and processor consume more power, the battery capacity of the "king of phones" is comparable to that of Xiaomi 4...

With the "king of phones" having "jumped into the pit" in front, it paved the way for the emergence of Meizu PRO 5.

The Meizu PRO 5 has a lot of highlights in its configuration. The 14nm process allows mobile phones with a 3000mAh battery to harness the potential of the Cortex-A57 architecture processor more easily. The Samsung Exynos 7420 processor with a running score of 70,000 is definitely a first-tier product in terms of performance. The LP DDR4 memory and UFS 2.0 flash memory can impress the "parameter party" with the details. The Sony IMX230 camera combines contrast focus, phase focus, laser focus, as well as the new 4G+ network, Hi-Fi and fingerprint recognition.

Frankly speaking, although Meizu still said "not competing on parameters" at the press conference, Bai Yongxiang introduced the phone's parameters one by one on the stage this time as if he was reading a parameter table, and people even felt a little stunned when they got to the Flyme system part. I wonder how Xiaomi felt when it saw this old rival who "ran a score to show his dissatisfaction" and finally won.

After Meizu's aggressiveness, Xiaomi is no longer under attack from all sides

In the domestic mobile phone market, Xiaomi's development is rapid and its success is quick. It grasped the needs of users and made what most people think is the right product at the right time.

But now, Huawei has become a technology leader with its breakthrough in self-developed processors. ZTE always appears magically in the hands of leaders. Up-and-coming companies such as LeTV and Qihoo have fully launched high, medium and low-end product lines as soon as they debuted. Finally, Meizu, which has always been behind Xiaomi, is catching up and surpassing it more and more obviously.

Judging from the new high-end product line PRO launched by Meizu, its performance parameters are stronger than the entire Xiaomi family. The increasingly bloated and complex Xiaomi MIUI system also gives the constantly improving Flyme an opportunity to overtake.

Putting aside side businesses like selling air conditioners, developing water purifiers and acting as an agent for mobile phone cards, what has Xiaomi done this year in its main business of making mobile phones?

Xiaomi released a high-end flagship phone that didn't even have fingerprint recognition, generated a lot of heat and consumed a lot of power. After Xiaomi sold MediaTek's flagship processor as cheap as cabbage, it was once again caught up in the screen replacement controversy and faced a crisis of trust. The day before Meizu's press conference, Xiaomi, which couldn't wait for Snapdragon 820, released a phone equipped with Snapdragon 808.

Therefore, the current situation of Xiaomi, the leader in domestic mobile phones, is no longer a situation where it has international giants like Apple in front and many domestic rivals chasing behind. Instead, it has gradually transformed into a situation where almost all rivals with a certain strength have begun to accelerate their sprint, leaving only Hammer, which makes a living by selling feelings, and "agricultural and sideline product" manufacturers such as Qingcong and Xiaolajiao.

On September 23, Wang Feng’s speech at the domestic mobile phone launch conference was to support “domestic high-quality products”, but Wang Feng said, “Xiaomi, the “domestic high-quality product”, how should you exist?
