In fact, according to the rhythm of Qualcomm Inc's flagship processors in the past, after the Spring Festival holiday every year, mobile phone manufacturers will begin to compete for the right to launch Qualcomm Inc's flagship processors, and the wave of new phones will reach a small peak at the MWC (World Mobile Communications Congress) in late February.
But this year, an unexpected epidemic broke the usual pace of the mobile phone market. Factories in the upper and lower reaches of the industrial chain delayed opening and needed to wait for the resumption rate to increase, and offline channels were almost closed. After a number of technology companies announced their withdrawal from MWC, MWC organizer GSMA (Global Mobile Communication system Association) also officially announced the cancellation of MWC in the early morning of February 13, Beijing time.
As early as after the end of the Spring Festival holiday, mobile phone manufacturers, including XIAOMI, began to adjust the pace of product release under the special circumstances of the epidemic. XIAOMI became the first official to announce that the brand of flagship mobile phones would be released in the form of pure online live streaming. XIAOMI can't afford to wait this time.
Before the official release of the product, Lei Jun announced that XIAOMI's R & D investment is expected to be about 7 billion yuan in 2019 and more than 10 billion yuan in 2020. R & D investment is a necessary condition to support mobile phone brands to gain a foothold in the high-end market. XIAOMI tries to get rid of the stereotype that there was only high performance-to-price ratio with the R & D cost figures on the financial statements and all kinds of innovative technologies in front of users. XIAOMI 10 is a key step for XIAOMI to explore the brand.
