Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 427 Glory: Skill Makes You Crazy

After everyone argued for a while, Lin Bin suddenly mentioned the telecom operators, and everyone's attention shifted to the operators' subsidies.

After all, rice is the only crop produced in Kyoto, so there are local subsidies available.

"Why don't we also launch a few 4G mid-range models? We can do it through carrier purchases or cooperative promotions!"

The bulk of the profits comes from operator procurement!

"Last year, our mid-range phones sold very well. Although they didn't sell on e-commerce platforms, the carriers actually sold millions of units."

The profit from one of them is equivalent to that of three Note 3s. Why don't we start a few projects?

Is it just a gimmick to use 4G phones?

Lei Jun frowned. Those phones did not match his public image, but he could not refuse the profits... So they had always been very discreet, never advertising online, but they were indeed shipping out phones like crazy offline.

It's fair to say that most of last year's profits came from these mobile phones.

Lin Bin also noticed his thoughts: "Old Lei, everyone does it this way offline, you don't need to feel guilty."

After all, we are trying to save our users. If we don't release these products using the Fire Dragon 6 series, users will have to spend more money to buy even worse products.

We don't need too much conscience; we just need a little more than our competitors.

Others echoed this sentiment, launching into criticisms of the competitors' actions.

For example, Transsion's 2-series processors and the stripped-down configurations of Transsion's S-series processors—even though those products aren't sold in China, Transsion's actions prove they have no conscience.

They have a little more rice!

After a long discussion at the end of the meeting, a relatively promising path was finally found for rice.

But after they all left, Lei Jun put the Xiaomi Note3 on the table aside.

He flipped the phone over, placed it face down on the table, and picked up his personal phone.

The iPhone 5s has a pretty good Touch ID, but of course it can't compare to his other phone, the S5 Pro. For daily use, I still prefer the iPhone.

After all, he bought Transsion only to learn advanced technology for a fee; he hasn't forgotten his roots.

I haven't forgotten how telepathy was used against him...

But at 10 p.m., Honor's official Weibo account posted a poster with a golden light cutting down from the upper left corner against a dark blue background. At the end of the light was a faintly visible number "8".

The accompanying text was also full of confidence: "In the 4G era, who will rise and fall?"

See you in January?

Although mentioning "two fathers" in real life might be met with disdain or even abuse, Honor does indeed have two "fathers," and each of them is a top-notch technical expert.

"The Honor 8 is here. Does this confidence really mean they don't take their competitors seriously?"

"Zhao Ming isn't pretending this time; he's directly challenging the entire industry. It seems the two old men have given him some good stuff."

Rice: Stop cursing, stop cursing, I'm already dead!

"Let's guess the processor. The Kirin 920 and TaiShan 920 are definitely on the list. As for the price... it should crush all the competitors."

"Hey buddy upstairs, don't be in such a hurry... this configuration isn't ready for that yet."

Lei Jun didn't post this Weibo message or make any comments. Without the help of any external forces, they no longer have the qualifications to challenge Honor.

Although the online battles continue, he is actually very clear about the situation.

After all, the confidence that Glory possesses is something he lacks.

After all, they have two powerful backers; they can just give them some chips and they'll be able to use 4G as soon as the license is issued.

Unlike them, they still have to wait for Qualcomm's approval.

At 11 o'clock, Lei Jun picked up his phone and sent a message to Lin Bin: "Meet with Qualcomm tomorrow and tell them that if we can't negotiate the price of the Dragon 801, Xiaomi will consider switching to MediaTek entirely."

After sending the message, he replied: "Even if MediaTek's performance is a bit worse, as long as the audio transmission is enhanced, it is still better than Qualcomm's performance."

He put down his phone and let out a long sigh. Trying to use one enemy to devour another, but does Da Mi really have that kind of capability?

…………

May 12st!

The promotional posters for the Honor 8 have been out for several days, but the online buzz hasn't died down; in fact, it's only gotten hotter.

Digital chat site has started another round of leaks, but this time the information is so detailed it doesn't seem like casual chat; it's as if an insider deliberately released it.

After all, as everyone knows, the Digital Chat Station... is purely an internal account!

However, the specifications of the standard version of the Honor 8 are indeed impressive:

The standard version does not use a full-screen design; it has a regular six-inch screen, but it does include an in-display fingerprint sensor and features a 1080p screen with Z2 material.

In terms of core processor, it is equipped with a Taishan 920s processor (six cores). Although its performance has been cut, it is still very good in the 2000 price range.

The Honor 8 Pro features a full-screen display, a new Kirin 920 processor, and supports 33W fast charging.

"Damn, Honor has really gone all out this time. These two processors have only been released for a short time; previously, it would take at least six months to get them... Now..."

"Don't be so surprised, upstairs. It's almost New Year's, what's so special about last year's processor? *doge*"

"Full-screen displays and in-display fingerprint sensors have all been implemented, isn't that right? When did Honor start enjoying such good fortune?"

Zhao Ming: There's a saying in the tech world: as long as you have enough powerful connections, you're powerful enough.

"Forget it, I'll just wash up and go to bed tonight, then seriously consider it. If it doesn't work out, I'll really go sell rice!"

"With this starting at 2499, Lei Jun could really open his own general store."

Meanwhile, Zhao Ming's personal Weibo account continued to post content. He posted a video in which he was wearing a Honor brand T-shirt, sitting next to the stage of the Shenzhen Spring Silkworm Stadium, holding an Honor 8 Pro in his hand.

The figures moving about in the background suggest that Honor is making preparations for the launch event...

The tone in the video was nothing like the gentle tone Zhao Ming usually uses in interviews; instead, it was a passionate desire to crush all competitors.

"Someone online asked if the specifications of the Honor 8 are true or false?"

I can tell you all with certainty... I don't know either. After all, there hasn't been a press conference yet, and we haven't gotten our hands on any technical information. As for the information from the Digital Chat Station, just treat it as a joke and wait for the press conference.

I can tell you all that the Honor 8 has really incorporated a lot of advanced technologies this time, and it's really great.

Our internally planned initial shipment volume is 2000 million.

At the end of the video, he smiled at the camera and gave a thumbs up: "Some manufacturers are still clearing out their 3G inventory in the 4G era."

All Honor models are in stock! See you on January 5th!
