Looking at domestic mobile phones in 2021, the competition of various brands seems to be fierce, but in fact, they have completely become a vassal of foreign technology companies, and the "comprador" enterprises commonly known as netizens are basically stereotyped, and the final winner is still dominated by US technology.
Many people are accustomed to the starting price of four or five thousand yuan for domestic flagship mobile phones, and many reasons have been recognized by the public through unscrupulous media brainwashing. For example, with the progress of the chip process, the research and development cost increases, and the yield rate decreases, which has become the reason for the price increase. In fact, the development trend of the digital industry itself is that the more advanced the technology, the lower the cost. Where did the media people who wrote such articles come from? Although it cannot be taken for granted, it is reprehensible!
At the end of the year, the hardware gap between the xiaomi 12 and the xiaomi 12 pro just released is obvious, but the starting price of the xiaomi 12 has come to 3699 yuan, compared with the original intention of the 1999 yuan era, it is now impossible to hear the voice of Lei Jun, who is "good goods and cheap".
For example, the glory separated from Huawei, the glory Magic3 after the change of Qualcomm Snapdragon core, the phone itself is not outstanding, but in the name of Huawei Mate50, with the design elements of Mate40, it also sold to a high starting price of 4599 yuan, and the pace of honor 6 following xiaomi was also 1999 yuan. Consumers hold their trust in Huawei and take a shot, but there are not a few regrets.
"Impact high-end" itself is a pseudo-proposition, iPhone12, iPhone13 series of the starting price are falling, one is that its own price is very high, and the other is from the hardware itself performance improvement, it is not big. Whether it is chip performance or photo quality, there will be no qualitative change.
Needless to talk about Apple's own A-series chips, the United States Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, Snapdragon 888, Snapdragon 888 Plus, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 itself performance improvement is not obvious, do not mention what research and development costs, simple change only, do not mention Samsung, TSMC's processing costs, how high can this cost price be?
There are few high-priced accessories in the procurement process of a mobile phone, and the basic accessories are even cheaper. Why domestic mobile phones, in the name of impacting high-end crazy price increases, one is their own profits, the other is that they are just a comprador, and the master behind is short of money.
Sanctioning Huawei, the beneficiary is not who Apple is, not who Qualcomm is, and who is not the core of the US technology? The development of digital products itself is a process of increasing the amount without increasing the price, but now it is the opposite, basically the process of reducing the amount and frantically increasing the price. To put it bluntly, there is no core strength.
Of course, these domestic mobile phone brands are also trying to change, such as vivo's self-developed V1 ISP chip, OPPO Mariana MariSilicon X image mobile NPU chip, and Xiaomi's charging chip. Although these chips can not be said to be unimportant, but after all, it is not a core chip, Qualcomm's processor changes, basically these chips are useless. Why say so, Huawei HiSilicon Kirin chip, in fact, it creates the entire chip system, which is more terrible. You use Qualcomm chips, people are also a system, people chip system itself if there is a strong image strength, charging efficiency, do you have to use your self-developed electricity? Then again, the United States can't help but ban whom Huawei!
In addition, in addition to the core technology leader who manipulates the price increase, it is also the market environment, and now the mobile phone performance is indeed strong, and the frequency of replacement is also reduced, in order to maintain profit margins, raising the price of a single product is also a last resort. However, the merchants to the public penetration is, buy my flagship, you are a high-end consumer, haha!
Brand awareness is really not good. After all, where is Apple's brand value, even if the initial price is reduced, the so-called bad street brand is still high-end. Huawei is so miserable, the newly released mobile phone is not a 5G mobile phone, many consumers still tolerate its new 4G products, it is so stubborn. Although you have 5G, the experience is not OK, and consumers just don't recognize it.
2021 is not to be politely said to be the year when the prices of comprador enterprises continue to rise, and the year when working for the main son is the hardest.
