Chapter 14 The Amazing 4 Cards, 4 Waiting
Chapter 14 The Amazing 4 Cards, 4 Waiting
But this is only the beginning.
"In Nigeria, our base stations are somewhat outdated, and there is no signal coverage in many areas. But in contrast to the base stations, we also have many base station service providers, so we often need multiple SIM cards when we go out."
Adebayo opened the back cover of the T1 to reveal four card slots.
"Different carriers require different SIM cards... Everyone knows how troublesome it is to change SIM cards. If you don't keep them safe, you'll lose them, which will cause even more trouble."
I believe everyone has experienced this problem.
Many people in the audience nodded in agreement. Having to carry seven or eight cards when going out, and the hassle of getting new cards every time, is incredibly difficult. You have to be careful when using them, but even so, losing cards is still very easy.
"TECNO T1, the world's first quad-SIM quad-standby phone. We don't need to carry a bunch of SIM cards with us. All four cards can be on standby at the same time, and you can switch between them easily. You can use whichever one you want."
This problem is completely solved!
The audience erupted in cheers.
Four SIM cards with four standby modes—this is a revolutionary feature in Africa, where multiple carriers operate.
Many Africans working across regions had their eyes light up instantly. If the photo they had just taken was nothing to them, this was definitely a pleasant surprise... and a reason why they had to buy Transsion products.
"That's fantastic! It can hold four cards, so I'll never have to switch cards again."
"The T100 was already a great experience, and this brand new T1 can even hold four cards..."
I believe this company truly comes to serve Africa; they are so dedicated and genuinely considerate of our needs.
"There's also the signal issue." Adebayo, seeing that more than half of the audience was already excited, continued to introduce the other features.
"In addition, the T1 also uses an enhanced antenna, which makes its signal reception 40% stronger than that of ordinary mobile phones in remote areas."
We tested it in the suburbs of Lax and on a farm in Abuja, and the T1 could still make calls even when others had no signal.
Another round of enthusiastic applause followed. Being able to make phone calls at a farm in Abuja was nothing short of a miracle... It was a desolate place, practically a green desert.
Many people cheered from the audience, but some still shouted, "What about charging? We have power outages here all the time... Without electricity, it's just a brick."
Adebayo smiled and pointed at the audience member: "That's a good question. The T1 is equipped with a 1600mAh super-large battery, which can last for a week under normal use."
If you want to keep talking, you can do it for more than 12 hours.
If you really have no power at home, you can come to our Transsion flagship store, where we provide professional charging rooms.
Each charge costs only $0.2, with a monthly usage cost of less than one dollar, and includes 10 free charging sessions.
This means that wherever there's a Transsion store, your phone will always have power.
The huge, bright red word "Free" appeared on the big screen, and the entire venue erupted in cheers as thousands shouted: "Transsion is a great company that serves the people of Africa!"
This title is indeed not an exaggeration. The functions are all incredibly powerful, and most importantly, each one addresses their deepest pain points.
But then voices of concern arose, with some audience members in the front rows saying worriedly, "Such a nice phone must be very expensive, right?"
"Yes, it has four SIM cards, four standby cards, a huge battery, and it can still take such beautiful photos... It's even better than Nokia's flagship model, and it would probably cost more than $200."
"Then only the rich can afford it."
"You bunch of bumpkins, you're so narrow-minded. Flagship phones? My N96 cost me a whopping $1200..."
Give up, this phone was never meant for you...
"what?"
Adebayor heard these comments but did not stop them; in fact, many of the people in the audience were his underlings.
This was also a marketing method that Li Qing taught him...
After the scene quieted down a bit, he put on a troubled look and slowly said, "I know what you're thinking."
With such powerful features, the price must be very high.
To be honest, if we were to price this phone using traditional methods, and if Nokia had given it to them, they would have sold it for at least $800, or even more.
A series of disappointed sighs rose from the audience, and some people at the edges were even preparing to leave...
"But..." Adebayo raised his voice. "Transsion is a different company. We believe that technology should not only serve the rich. Even if you are an ordinary person, you can afford to buy and use it if you want to."
So we decided...
The onlookers, who were about to leave, were instantly stopped in their tracks by this remark. "Since we're already here, let's see it all the way through. What if we can afford it?"
Adebayor on stage continued to keep everyone in suspense, and when the price page appeared on the screen, the numbers were covered up.
"What is the price of the TECNO T1 in Nigeria?"
The animation slowly disappeared, and a huge $100 appeared!
Silence, an absolute silence lasting over ten seconds, was simply unbelievable for a launch event with tens of thousands of attendees. But the price of the TECNO T1 was equally unbelievable.
"To thank everyone for their support, we're also offering a $1 discount plus 10 free recharges."
So its final price is $99 plus 20 free charging sessions.
The cheers immediately spread from person to person, and even pedestrians a kilometer away could hear them.
"$99? My God."
"That's impossible. A used Nokia N73 still costs $200."
"Quad SIM, quad standby, super long battery life, and such great camera... and it's only $99. I can totally afford it at that price."
Once the excitement subsided a little, Adebayor signaled for everyone to be quiet.
"Yes, $99. Because Transsion believes every Nigerian should have a good mobile phone, but I know that $99 is still too expensive for some people."
He took a deep breath: "So we have another option..."
Another phone appeared on the screen, thinner and lighter with a simpler design.
"TECNO T80, dual SIM dual standby, 1000mAh large battery, three-day battery life."
The TECNO T80A version also features optimized photography; although the pixel count is slightly lower, portraits remain clear.
Its price is…
This time there's no more suspense; it will appear very quickly.
"30 US dollars and 35 US dollars."
This time there was no silence, only an immediate explosion.
At $30, this is practically the cheapest entry-level phone on the market, even more expensive than many used phones, but the Transsion T80 has dual SIM dual standby, optimized camera...
And Transsion's quality control and after-sales service!
