When Yui Aragaki saw the phone in Song Yi's hand fall to the ground, she couldn't help but let out a scream. Some fans who had just entered the live broadcast room couldn't help but ask what happened at the press conference.
Chen Zairong thought Song Yi would not make such a low-level mistake, and that dropping the phone might be a carefully designed part of the press conference. He lowered his head and chatted with Yu Zhenggen, the president of the First Planning Department, "Song Yi is really good at marketing. This phone drop will bring a lot of attention to Gaojin Electronics' new phone."
Song Yi calmly picked up the phone from the ground, and then comforted Jiang Xiuna, "It's okay, the phone is not broken, you can go down first."
Song Yi demonstrated the mobile phone in his hand to everyone, indicating that the phone in his hand was safe and sound. Although it fell to the ground from a height of more than one meter, the screen and metal body of the phone were not damaged at all.
Camera equipment from multiple positions at the press conference fully displayed the phone in Song Yi's hand. The LCD screen and aluminum alloy body looked extremely handsome.
Gaojin Electronics' inschool homepage was also live-streaming the event, and when they saw the full range of the Galaxy S1 phone in the live broadcast room, they couldn't help but comment on inschool.
"Wow, the metal body feels much better to the touch than the cheap plastic shell."
"This phone has no physical buttons, so how can I make calls or type?"
"The Galaxy S1 screen feels more premium than Nokia or Motorola's."
"I don't know what the official price of Galaxy S1 is. If the price is no more than $499, I will consider buying one. If it is too expensive, there is no need for me to buy it."
In addition to these unanimous positive reviews, there were also discordant voices in the live broadcast room.
"Although Gaojin Electronics is a subsidiary of SA Group, it has never been involved in manufacturing. Can you believe that a company that has been established for less than five years can make a good mobile phone? Aren't you afraid that such a mobile phone will explode while you are using it?"
"Is Song Yi too arrogant? Does he really think he can be successful in whatever he does?"
After everyone had a clear look at the Galaxy S1, Song Yi continued to introduce the phone calmly. "Just now, I was just joking with you. I wanted to test whether the Galaxy S1 is drop-proof. The result satisfied me, which shows that the R&D funds were put to good use."
"Of course, many netizens are watching our Gaojin Electronics' autumn new product launch conference at the same time. Some netizens will tell you that you will never be able to buy the phone in Song Yi's hand. In fact, it's just that the Galaxy S1 phone in Song Yi's hand is more resistant to falling, and the quality of other phones of the same model is not so good. Maybe he will buy a phone and then drop it again to show you, so as to prove that what he said is true."
Before Song Yi finished speaking, the audience was amused by him. They knew that what Song Yi said might become a reality. Maybe it would become a trend for some technology bloggers to smash Galaxy S1 during live broadcasts.
"In fact, you have already discovered that the Galaxy S1 phone has no physical buttons. Let me show you how to operate and use this phone."
"Galaxy S1 uses a slide to unlock. When we slide to the right, the phone is unlocked and enters the main interface of Galaxy S1."
"The four apps at the bottom are phone, text, camera, and browser. There's no need to go into detail about these functions."
"In addition to these basic applications, the Galaxy S1 phone provides music, video, inschool and SA game halls. Galaxy S1 users can listen to music, watch videos, log in to social networking sites and play games."
"The current operating system used by the Galaxy S1 is SuperOS 1.0, which supports nearly 100 mobile games. As the version is updated, the SuperOS system will provide consumers with a richer variety of applications."
Chen Zairong and Ju Guangmo in the audience were both thoughtful. It was obvious that Song Yi attached great importance to the SuperOS system, so he spent time to introduce the advantages of the SuperOS system.
Song Yi opened the video app on his Galaxy S1 phone, randomly found a movie called "Thieves Alliance", and started playing it.
He placed the Galaxy S1 phone horizontally and double-clicked the screen to see the full picture. Although the 3.5-inch display is not large, the clarity of the movie is very high.
The video of "Thieves" played by Song Yi happened to include the scene where Jun Ji-hyun ran into the art museum, which caused quite a stir at the press conference.
Zhou Yuncan, who was sitting in the center seat of the first row, looked very serious. He turned around and asked the assistant beside him, "Have you ever seen a mobile phone that operates like the Galaxy S1 before?"
The assistant thought about it carefully and said, "Absolutely not. The Galaxy S1 is a touch screen phone, which has a completely different operation method from Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and LG phones. This phone from Gaojin Electronics is definitely a disruptive innovation."
Zhou Yuncan was thoughtful when he heard his assistant say this, "It seems that Song Yi has indeed made an amazing new phone this time. But will users who are already familiar with physical keyboards really accept this touch-screen smartphone?"
After demonstrating the video function, Song Yi opened the SA map that came with the Galaxy S1. Song Yi zoomed in on the SA map, and everyone at the press conference could clearly see every district, every dong, every street, and even every community in Seoul.
SA Map also has a navigation function. You can choose to drive, ride a bike or walk. SA Map will quickly plan your route for you.
Galaxy S1 users in South Korea and Japan use SA Maps by default, Galaxy S1 users in mainland China use Baidu Maps by default, and Galaxy S1 users in other regions use Google Maps by default.
In order to ensure that the default map software for the Galaxy S1 series of mobile phones is Google Maps, Google will pay a fixed amount of fees to Gaojin Electronics every year to promote Google Maps.
Although Kim Tae-hee and Kim Hee-won did not go to the press conference, they have also been paying attention to Gokin Electronics' autumn new product launch.
"It seems that this press conference was quite successful. Song Yi said that the estimated global sales of the Galaxy S1 series of mobile phones will be between 5 million and 10 million units. Ouni, do you think he can achieve this goal?" Kim Tae-hee couldn't help but ask Kim Hee-won.
The price of Galaxy S1 is at least RMB 4,999, so 10 million phones would be RMB 50 billion. If the sales of Galaxy S1 series phones can meet expectations, then Gaojin Electronics will become the subsidiary with the highest revenue of SA Group. Smartphones will also become the core pillar business of SA Group.
"Song Yi has proved at this press conference that smartphones are smarter and simpler to operate than phones with physical buttons, and can also provide consumers with a richer and more comprehensive audio-visual entertainment experience. Putting aside other things, at least after seeing the demonstration video at the press conference, I'm quite interested in the Galaxy S1 phone, and I also want to try whether the Galaxy S1 phone can withstand drops." Jin Xiyuan joked.
Song Yi continued to talk at the press conference, "Many people told me that so-called smart phones have appeared on the market. Here are three smart phones, namely Motorola Q, BlackBerry and Nokia E62."
"In my opinion, none of these smartphones are smart enough. Their user interfaces are dominated by so-called physical keyboards that take up 40 percent of the screen space."
"Whether you get these keyboards or not, they take up space. And they're made of plastic and are fixed underneath the screen."
"So we decided to remove the physical buttons on our Galaxy S1 series phones and gave them a Home button. You can use the Home button to operate your Galaxy S1 just like you use a mouse to operate a computer. "When you slide the screen, you unlock the phone, just like the password on your computer. You can open an app by tapping it with your finger. If you want to return to the previous page or go back to the home screen, just tap the Home button on your phone. The Home button means 'Welcome home'!"
At this time, the members of Girls' Generation, who had finished their training for the day, returned to the company dormitory. Seo Ju-hyun couldn't wait to turn on the computer and entered the inschool live broadcast room of Gaojin Electronics.
My roommate Huang Miying was a little confused. "Xiaoxian, I know today is Gaojin Electronics' new product launch, but we are idols. Gaojin Electronics' new product launch doesn't seem to have much to do with us. Why do you care so much? Will Gaojin Electronics give each of us a new phone?"
Xu Zhuxian couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Ouni, this is our Chairman Song's first public speech. Don't you want to listen to what he has to say? Maybe if you learn a little bit, you can become a billionaire."
Huang Miying hugged Xu Zhuxian and kissed her on the cheek, "Zhuxian, you know I'm not as smart as you, and it's impossible for me to become a billionaire. But our Xiaoxian is so smart and insists on studying. As long as our president is willing to protect you, you will become a billionaire sooner or later, and then I will be the roommate of the billionaire."
Xu Zhuxian was a little unhappy, "What a billionaire, that's really ugly. Ouni, even if I have money, I can't share it with you. You can't rely on others, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. It's better to have it yourself than to have it by others."
Song Yi has already started to introduce the configuration information of Galaxy S1. "Galaxy S1 uses the A1 processor developed by our Gaojin Electronics. The RAM of the phone is 128Mb. There are two versions of ROM storage, 16GB and 32GB respectively."
"Without adding an SD memory card, the Galaxy S1's RAM and ROM storage space are far ahead of the mainstream models in the current mobile phone market."
"In order to further provide Galaxy S1 series users with more mobile applications, the Galaxy S1 series has launched the APP Store. Every registered Galaxy S1 user can log in to the APP Store to download various approved and safe applications. Every month, the App Store will select various types of high-quality applications and give developers huge cash rewards. I also hope that more and more outstanding developers will join the work of the App Store."
"The Galaxy S1 series phones use Sony's CMOS sensor, with a 300,000-megapixel front camera and a 2-megapixel rear camera. To facilitate backup and storage of important data such as files or photos, the Galaxy S1 provides 5GB of cloud storage space for all registered users for free."
"You can upload photos or files to SA Cloud Disk Space. Even if you accidentally format all the data, you can still restore the photos or important files you saved in the cloud space through SA Cloud Disk Space."
"After midnight tonight, the Galaxy S1 will be officially available to consumers around the world. Users who have successfully placed an order through the official website of Gaojin Electronics will receive their phones within 7 to 15 working days."
"Of course, after all this introduction, you must be more concerned about the pricing of the Galaxy S1 phone, which will be announced later. Let me first introduce to you another consumer electronics product developed by Gaojin Electronics, the Superalloy sports bracelet."
As soon as Song Yi finished speaking, everyone at the conference expressed their dissatisfaction. They said that Song Yi was torturing them. Many guests who came to attend the Gaojin Electronics Autumn New Product Conference today had already planned to buy a Galaxy S1 for their family. But Song Yi actually put the official price, which everyone was most concerned about, at the end, which really whetted people's appetite.
"Actually, people who know me well know that I am quite keen on running. I hope to have a small electronic product that I can wear with me to record my exercise status at any time. It was with this idea that the Superalloy sports bracelet was born."
"The Superalloy sports bracelet can be connected to the Galaxy S1 series mobile phone via Bluetooth mode, and upload your every exercise situation to your health application."
"The Superalloy fitness tracker can record the duration of your exercise, the type of exercise, your heart rate, your anaerobic exercise time and the time distribution of aerobic exercise."
"The Galaxy S1 series of mobile phones' health apps include many fitness experts and professional fitness coaches who can provide you with a step-by-step fitness plan," Song Yi continued.
When Huang Meiying heard what Song Yi said, her eyes lit up, "This sports bracelet is suitable for me, so I can do some targeted fat-reducing training. Can this Superalloy bracelet only be connected to the Galaxy S1 phone? Do I have to change to a new phone for this sports bracelet?" Huang Meiying blinked, a little distressed.
"The official price of this Superalloy sports bracelet is $19.9. The bracelet has a real-time positioning function. If you accidentally fall and are unable to move on the ground, the Superalloy sports bracelet will also help you call the emergency contacts on your mobile phone and notify your family to help you."
When Chen Zairong saw the Superalloy sports bracelet on Song Yi's wrist, he thought Samsung Electronics would be able to launch a similar product in less than two weeks. However, the official price of a Superalloy sports bracelet is only $19.9, and one million sports bracelets cost less than $20 million, which does not bring much profit to Samsung Electronics.
"Galaxy S1 series mobile phones, Superalloy sports bracelets and App Store are the new autumn products that Gaojin Electronics will release today. If Nokia is the leader in traditional mobile phones, then we at Gaojin Electronics have redefined smartphones today and ushered in a new era of touch screen smartphones!"
"My speech today is over, thank you everyone." Song Yi bowed to everyone in the audience and was about to leave.
At this time, the audience was not satisfied, because the price of Galaxy S1 series phones had not been announced yet. Everyone was anxious, because they couldn't wait until midnight to check the official price of Galaxy S1 on the official website of Gaojin Electronics, right?
Song Yi stopped teasing everyone and began to announce the official prices of the Galaxy S1 series of mobile phones.
The Galaxy S1 phone supports 3G network. The official price of the Galaxy S1 series phone with 16GB of memory is US$599, and the official price of the Galaxy S1 series phone with 32GB of memory is US$699.
Chen Zairong looked at the 599/699 dollars on the big screen and felt that these two figures were extremely dazzling. Except for the high-end W series phones, few Samsung phones are priced above 499 dollars. Gaojin Electronics directly set the price of the Galaxy S1 series phones at 599 and 699 dollars, which obviously shows that it has great confidence in the newly launched Galaxy S1 phone.
Luxshare Technology President Xia Qiuai also attended Gaojin Electronics' autumn new product launch conference. She had seen the real Galaxy S1 series mobile phones in advance.
Gaojin Electronics' autumn new product launch conference was obviously a great success, and more and more people have noticed that Gaojin Electronics is about to release the Galaxy S1 series of smartphones.
Xu Zhuxian couldn't help but take a deep breath when she heard the price of the Galaxy S1 series mobile phone announced by Song Yi. She is not yet an adult, and she doesn't know whether her mother Liu Huiying is willing to buy her such an expensive mobile phone.
The Galaxy S1 phone has the inschool app pre-installed and supports 3G network, so she can get a 3G phone card from SA Telecom and log in to the inschool website anytime and anywhere, and can also contact Song Yi through the inschool app. Compared to when she was a child, she now prefers to communicate with Song Yi through inschool.
Song Yi’s reply to Xu Zhuxian’s message may not be so timely, but as long as Song Yi logs into the inschool website and sees Xu Zhuxian’s message, he will find a time to reply.
Gaojin Electronics' autumn new product launch conference has officially ended, but Yui Aragaki's live broadcast has not ended yet. She just showed off her unique skills in the live broadcast room by completely disassembling a brand new Galaxy S1 series mobile phone. She then explained the hardware configuration of the Galaxy S1 series mobile phone, the function of each small module in the body, which company's hardware products were used, etc., to popularize the excellence of the Galaxy S1 series mobile phones to the fans in the live broadcast room.
After finishing the live broadcast, Yui Aragaki began to pack up the live broadcast equipment and then looked for Song Yi. Song Yi said that he would send her back to Moon Geun-young's villa after the autumn new product launch conference. Yui Aragaki knew what would happen tonight, and although she was a little nervous, she had made sufficient preparations.
Guests who thought they could get along well with Song Yi came to say goodbye to him, and Song Yi greeted them one by one. Chen Zairong, accompanied by Yu Zhenggen, walked up to Song Yi.
"It is indeed a great idea that Gaojin Electronics can think of making mobile phones with touch screens. However, this idea cannot be patented, and it cannot be exclusive to the Galaxy S1 series of mobile phones."
“Perhaps your company Gaojin Electronics has applied some new technologies and processes, but as long as Samsung Electronics is willing, we can produce a smartphone comparable to the Galaxy S1 series in two or three months at most. At that time, how will Gaojin Electronics, as a pioneer, respond to the challenge from Samsung Electronics?” Chen Zairong asked calmly.
The Galaxy S1 costs $599, isn't that expensive? Compared to the iPhone, probably.
