Chapter 187 The Pleasure of Kicking Down the Door
Early morning of April 16th
A new mobile phone has been quietly launched on the Chrysanthemum Factory Mall.
Featured on the homepage with simple words: Enjoy the series, starting at 799 yuan.
The simple yet powerful "GG" instantly made the product a bestseller.
The first batch of orders sold out within minutes of the link being listed.
In Xiaobai's unboxing fan group, someone posted a screenshot of their purchase.
"Brothers, look what this is!"
"Holy crap, 799? This feature phone should be pretty good for old people?"
Many people subconsciously thought that Huawei had picked up its feature phones again, after all, this one costs 799.
Some people believe that Huawei is facing the same situation as the rice company.
"Where did the person upstairs buy their counterfeit goods?"
"It's true, I just checked the official website and it's confirmed to be a new product."
"Could this be the product that Big Mouth was talking about before, the one that everyone could afford?"
After all, it was just revealed a couple of days ago that the product they mentioned wouldn't have a launch event for is one that everyone can afford, and it will be available soon...
It naturally attracted a lot of criticism at the time, but now... it's actually quite good.
"It sold out in less than 10 minutes."
Inventory levels are low, so it seems we're not making any money; overall, we haven't stocked up that much.
The group admin, Xiaobai, has posted an update.
"I looked at the product introduction, and as everyone says, the profit margin for this product is probably not that high; it's purely about making money from the delivery."
However, with a stockpile of 50 units, it's unlikely to be just a gimmick.
Let's wait for the later shipments.
This product is a dream come true for students! After all, it uses the MTK6573, so its performance is guaranteed. I'm going to buy two to test it out.
…………
The next day, Xiaobai turned on the device early and went to the offline store where she usually got her goods.
But the product's popularity still exceeded his expectations.
As he walked in, the familiar salesperson spread his hands and said to him, "Brother Bai, we're out of stock."
After visiting three stores, he finally found a flagship store.
"This is already the largest store; surely we won't run out of stock again."
With anticipation, Xiaobai pushed open the door to the store.
Looking at the two cell phones on the counter, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There were two phones on the counter: a Enjoy Plus for 799 yuan and an Enjoy Pro Max for 999 yuan.
As he entered, the salesperson approached him: "Sir, would you like to look at your phone?"
Xiao Bai nodded: "Enjoy, can I watch it? Is it in stock?"
"Sir, we have it in stock." The salesperson handed him the standard version.
Xiao Bai took it and her first impression was that it was light.
It's estimated that they used a plastic mid-frame, a plastic back cover, and the worst possible configuration in all aspects.
But price isn't an issue.
He opened the settings and glanced at the parameters.
3.7-inch screen.
The Mtk6573 processor.
128MB RAM
1GB of storage space
2000mAh battery
This configuration... Instantly, he got caught up in the nitpicking of tech bloggers again, calling it a "king of junk".
128MB, 1GB.
This configuration would have been mainstream two years ago. Now, it's definitely electronic waste.
He looked up and asked, "What about the Pro Max version?"
The salesperson then handed over the Pro Max version, which still had a very plasticky feel.
Seeing that he was quite sensible, the salesperson handed him a comparison chart.
The Pro Max version's processor has been upgraded to the MTK6575, just like the standard version.
The RAM starts at 256MB, and the storage space has also doubled to 4GB.
The novice unboxing once again got stuck on a minor detail: 256MB is still not enough.
He asked the salesperson the age-old question: "Is this phone...smooth?"
The salesperson smiled readily.
"Sir, that depends on what you want to compare it to."
If it were priced at 799, it would be absolutely smooth, after all, it uses the same processor as the Honor Play series, which is much better than feature phones in the same price range.
It's perfectly adequate for everyday use and even light gaming. While our domestic TaiShan system is very smooth, it can't change the fact that its RAM is too small, resulting in some lag.
Of course, if you want to compare it to a flagship phone, then it is indeed electronic waste.
But at this price point, if you can make calls, use QQ, and play some light games, isn't that enough?
Xiao Bai was a little surprised when he opened the box and looked at the salesperson. He didn't expect the other party to explain it to him like that.
Shouldn't we just focus on the selling points?
But when he looked at the group of students next to the other sales assistants, he suddenly had a sudden realization.
The target audience for this phone won't mind the price of 799.
Didn't the Apple 3GS released last year also use 256MB of RAM?
This level of memory is already considered high-end for a budget phone.
"I'll take both the Plus and the Pro Max. They should still be in stock, right?"
"Yes! But the inventory isn't very sufficient; the management hasn't stocked up enough."
While waiting for Xiaobai to unpack her product, she observed the other people entering the store.
The Mate 2 series has indeed received a lot of attention, but many young customers are captivated by the Enjoy series.
…………
The test video was officially launched at 8 p.m.
Xiaobai sits in front of the camera after unpacking the product, with two phones placed on the table.
"Friends, today we're testing Huawei's newly released Enjoy series."
To get these two phones, I visited three different stores this morning before finally getting them for my fans.
Asking for a triple like isn't too much to ask, is it?
Next came Xiaobai's classic unboxing segment: "The standard version is 799 yuan, and the Pro version is 999 yuan. For a smartphone, this is the standard price for electronic waste."
What kind of answer will Huawei deliver? Let's take a look.
To save money, Brother Bai only wanted the beginner version.
In actual purchasing decisions, I still recommend buying the top-of-the-line version. It's only a little over 200 yuan more expensive, but the experience will be significantly upgraded.
Xiaobai unpacked the box and recommended it to netizens as he did so.
However, to his surprise, there was an extra spare battery inside the Enjoy Plus packaging box.
He picked up the battery and looked at the camera with a shocked expression.
"This really isn't just for the sake of the show, I had no idea he would send spare batteries?"
A battery would cost at least twenty or thirty yuan...
Based on my experience, Huawei probably doesn't make much money, and now they're even giving away a battery. This is going to drive other manufacturers crazy; they can't even keep up anymore.
The screen was filled with comments praising Huawei's awesomeness...
"Holy crap, that's outrageous..."
"Is this really not just for the show?"
"No, upstairs, I bought one today too, and it does come with two batteries. The salesperson even told me that there was no need to buy spare batteries in the short term."
However, since each battery only costs 35 yuan, I bought two more.
Playing with four batteries in turn is absolutely awesome!
The video quickly moved to Xiaobai's classic unboxing segment: he placed the two chargers nearby and then threw them directly into the trash can.
"Ye Qing is back!"
"I saw Xiaobai throw the charging head into the trash can again..."
"Why not keep the Enjoy Series items and give them away to our fans?"
Seemingly anticipating the audience's thoughts: "The actual user experience of this phone is indeed quite good."
However, this blogger has many phones, so this "concubine" won't get any favor. In that case... I'll be giving away prizes in the comments section in three days.
