On the evening of February 24, OPPO released several new products in one go, in addition to the OPPO Find X5 series, a new generation of flagship TWS headphones Enco X2, high-end tablets OPPO Pad appearance is also somewhat surprising, it is not difficult to see that OPPO released is not a single product, but an ecology.
For the above new products, I believe that everyone has a lot of questions. For example, what is the difference in configuration and experience of the Find X5 Pro version equipped with the Tianji 9000 chip? What is the reason for this discrepancy? Why did OPPO Enco X2 choose Hisaishi as a partner to co-tune? For example, oppo Pad listing node is relatively late, what the team has to consider, etc., taking the opportunity of this group visit, we saw OPPO's entire product team thinking in some details, and the truth behind some products also surfaced.
OPPO Find X5 series related
According to Xiao Lei's observation, at the group interview held on the evening of February 24, everyone did not have much idea about the Find X5 Pro product, but there were some questions about some differences and positioning between different versions of mobile phones. Especially in the image performance, OPPO Find X5 Pro Qualcomm Snapdragon Edition is actually much stronger than the Tianji Edition, not only has the self-developed chip Mariana X blessing, but also has advanced "suspension stabilization" technology, considering that their price is relatively close, this difference is indeed strange.
In this regard, Li Jie, president of the OPPO Find product line, said that in fact, there are many differences between the two versions of the mobile phone, there is a common reason: the mass production time of the Tianji 9000 chip is much later, and the adjustment of the independent chip is good for the adaptation of suspension stabilization technology, and there is not enough time to complete the Tianji 9000 version of the FInd X5 Pro.
Realistically, the better the Mariana X chip and suspension stabilization, the more unfortunate it is for the Find X5 Pro version of the Tianji 9000. OPPO is also well aware of the contradictions, he did not say that the forced search for compensation said that the Tianji 9000 version of this side of the "performance is also very good", for this difference they can make compensation is that the Tianji 9000 version of the Find X5 Pro is cheaper than the Snapdragon version under the same storage specifications.
There is another question about the Tianji 9000 version of the Find X5 Pro, we found that the Snapdragon version of the Find X5 Pro has multiple SKUs, but the Tianji version of the Find X5 Pro has only one SKU, and it is relatively high-ended, but it is cheaper than the Same Configuration Snapdragon Version Find X5 Pro in price. Such a SKU arrangement is bound to cause some discussion.
Li Jie said that the Find X5 Pro Tianji edition is actually relatively high because there is only one SKU, or even the Pro version is exclusive. As the debut of the Tianji 9000 chip, find X5 Pro Tianji version has a special significance, to a certain extent, its pricing also refers to the advice of partner MediaTek, OPPO and MediaTek agree that if Tianji 9000 needs to establish a high-end image, then the price must be high-end.
Li Jie added that in fact, OPPO has thought internally, is it directly to the Tianji 9000 chip to be placed in the 3000 yuan mobile phone, which is used for better impulse? However, the result of such an approach is that MediaTek's flagship chip plan will inevitably fail, so it is necessary to maintain a high-end image in the first model. In addition, in the future, it is not excluded that there will be other versions of mobile phones equipped with Tianji 9000, and there will be a people-friendly price, but that is the last word.
Returning to the self-developed chip Mariana X, some media have questioned whether the current practice of one machine double core (referring to SoC and self-developed chips) will continue, and Li Jie gave a positive answer to this.
He believes that the strategy of one machine and two core means that the combination of independent chips has more flexible space, and even in the future, when the cost is diluted and the self-developed chip is used on the 2,000 yuan level product, will it not allow the entry machine to obtain the imaging performance comparable to the flagship? Although this is only an assumption, it does have some room for operation.
At the same time, Li Jie believes that the industry's implementation of a two-core strategy of peers is becoming more, with the advancement of the trend of self-developed chips, the implementation of a two-core strategy on the market will also increase, OPPO is quite a bit of ahead of the meaning.
OPPO Pad related
As a new category launched by OPPO, OPPO Pad has unsurprisingly become one of the focuses of group visits, whether it is the characteristics of the hardware itself or some positioning in the industry, there is a lot of room for discussion.
There is a point that everyone is very concerned about, all the SKUs of the OPPO Pad are Wi-Fi versions, there is no cellular capability, for such an arrangement, Fan Hui, director of the Tablet Business Department, said that this is out of the judgment of user needs, the market will put the tablet computer under the Wi-Fi network or the majority, followed by the time problem, to put it bluntly, OPPO Pad is already late, if you spend time on some less important details, then it will definitely delay the fighter.
Another question is related to the future development of OPPO Pad, after all, the competition for tabletS is still relatively fierce, OPPO Pad wants to stand smoothly, how to live in the future? In this regard, Fan Hui said that although OPPO Pad has been listed, in fact, there is still room for optimization in many aspects, and the future oppo Pad is mainly in two aspects: application adaptation and interconnection.
At the same time, with the continuous strong market demand, the continuous improvement of the Android tablet ecology and the continuous evolution of the upstream system, OPPO believes that these are all factors conducive to the good results of tablet computers.
OPPO Enco X2 related
One of the big selling points of the OPPO Enco X2 is the sound quality, so OPPO invited Hisaishi to let the master tune, and it can be seen that it is prepared.
There are also many questions about the OPPO Enco X2 media, such as Xiao Lei felt very strange, why did he deliberately find Hisaishi Jean instead of other music masters?
Liu Baoyou, director of OPPO Audio Business Department, said that the purpose of inviting a master to tune is also very simple, that is, I hope to make oppo Enco X2's hardware capabilities fully utilized, and the style and concept of pure, natural and true restoration music will be implemented to the end.
For this reason, OPPO also revealed some behind-the-scenes stories, such as they and Hisaishi Jean have been in contact for nearly a year, and it took a long time just to persuade the elderly to tune the headphones. In addition, Hisaishi let the master in the tuning process to ask some questions so that they can quickly optimize and upgrade, when Hisaishi let the master are satisfied with the sound quality, OPPO knows that the headphones in the sound quality of the competitive standard.
