February 9 news, realme official website shows that just released on January 3 GT2 Pro mobile phone, the price of 8GB + 256GB version, has been directly reduced from 4199 yuan to 3699 yuan.
The price drop is fast, and it seems to have been a major hard injury for Android flagships. After only one month of release, the price has directly dropped by 500 yuan, which will indeed make users who bought at the original price of the first time a little unhappy. Like other brands in similar sharp price reduction promotions, often send some TWS headphones to compensate for the first user, I don't know if realme will follow up this operation.
Like the iPhone 13 mini at the beginning of the listing, the secondary market also quickly broke, but the official channel has not been much price reduction, generally the platform subsidies price reduction promotions. The official direct sharp reduction in price is still more uncomfortable for the first user.
The poor retention of the Android flagship is not only in the hardware configuration, XiaoLei believes that the software product is not strong enough. For example, Xiao Lei wants to connect the mobile phone directly to the car machine, but it has to be said that Carlife is too difficult to use. Xiao Lei himself found a cracked version of Carlife, which can directly map the entire mobile phone to the car interface, but the connection process is relatively cumbersome. It is also an App for folk gods to use love to generate electricity, when connecting to the car machine, the mobile phone is very hot, and the comprehensive use experience is not good.
At that time, Xiao Lei very much wanted to spend hundreds of dollars to find an iPhone 6s to throw in the car specifically for CarPlay. From this, you can get a glimpse of the reasons for the high retention rate of the iPhone, and if the Android flagship wants to improve the retention rate, it also needs to start from the software side.
In addition, Xiao Lei personally likes the design of the GT2 Pro camera module, and the three lenses are symmetrical to see horizontally. It's just that the signature design on the right side of the lens module is a bit complicated, and Xiao Lei personally prefers a concise design, and it may be better to remove this piece.
GT2 Pro is really the first real sense of the high-end product, the main camera uses the IMX766, which is OPPO, OnePlus and other flagship mobile phones are also using sensors, it can ensure a high enough amount of light intake. At the same time, the pixels will not be particularly large and will not put too much pressure on the SoC. Realme and OPPO have always been relatively independent, such a strategy makes realme have more room for development, and the current market share growth momentum is very strong.
