Although they all use the Symbian system, they also use 300,000-pixel cameras, and they even have 8M of memory and Java extension mode, so they can install other programs.
But a very subtle detail makes these phones different.
That's the battery!
Samsung uses lithium batteries produced by its own company, Samsung Chemical.
In order to ensure that its mobile phone is slimmer and more competitive than Nokia in appearance, Samsung's battery capacity is not large, with a total of only 748 mAh.
To solve this problem, Samsung uses a removable battery, and the original mobile phone package comes with two batteries.
Users can replace the battery when it runs out of power.
But then again, whether it is Nokia or Ericsson, which one does not use removable batteries?
It’s just that Nokia’s original packaging only comes with one battery.
Moreover, it is indeed very inconvenient for users to carry a battery in their bag at all times.
Ericsson uses a Panasonic battery with a capacity of 830 mAh.
This kind of power is barely enough for light users, but since it is an Android-based smartphone, third-party applications can be downloaded, and Ericsson also positions its phone as a gaming and fashionable phone.
Then the user must spend a long time swiping the phone, and the 830 mAh power is simply not enough.
Now Samsung and Ericsson are curious.
Why can Nokia mobile phone batteries last two days?
At Nokia's press conference, there was no mention of lithium battery manufacturers at all.
There is no indication of the manufacturer of the lithium battery on the mobile phone's packaging case and instructions.
Ericsson even asked Sony and Panasonic, and the answer they received was that Nokia did not purchase its own lithium batteries.
To figure out why, Samsung and Ericsson looked for answers.
Finally, after disassembling Nokia's lithium battery, everyone finally discovered the secret.
After disassembling the lithium battery, in a very inconspicuous position of the packaging, there is the name of the manufacturer - Changtian Technology!
Four words in pure Chinese - Changtian Technology.
Under the four words of Changtian Technology, there is also a line of English - MADE IN CHINA.
Now everyone knows the answer.
Ericsson first tested Nokia's battery and found that the battery's capacity was indeed 1480 mAh, and its battery life was more than twice that of Ericsson.
Ericsson's business office also found out that the cost of the batteries purchased by Nokia was actually 40 yuan RMB each.
Ericsson was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Because Ericsson purchased Panasonic lithium batteries, an 830 mAh battery actually sold for about 70 RMB.
[Influence +20! 】
Ericsson's relevant experts once again verified the performance and related patents of Tianke's batteries, and the results were even more surprising.
Changtian Technology has made great achievements in lithium batteries. Many of its lithium battery patents are better than those of Panasonic and Sony.
Ericsson's senior executives patted their foreheads and felt a little annoyed. Why hadn't such a treasure company been discovered before?
The batteries purchased from Changtian Technology are not only cheap but also have good performance.
With such a fragrant lithium battery, why should you look for Panasonic?
Ericsson's senior management made a decisive decision and were ready to immediately send business representatives to Jiangzhou to purchase batteries from Changtian Technology.
The more the better.
Moreover, Ericsson believes that if its own battery is replaced by a battery from Changtian Technology, the cost of the mobile phone will be further reduced, and its price will be about 7% cheaper than Nokia's.
The current price of Nokia 7650 in the US market is US$1,000. If Ericsson can make it 5% cheaper, it will save a lot of money for consumers.
Just when Ericsson sent a negotiation team to Xia Guo, relevant media reports were also seen at Nokia headquarters.
Why are the configurations almost the same, but Nokia’s phones are more popular?
The main reason is the battery.
Ollila never expected that Nokia would win by a narrow margin in this competition!
And the victory lies in a very small detail - the battery.
At this time, Ollila suddenly thought of something very important.
He was shocked and quickly called Simpson to the office.
"When you signed a lithium battery supply contract with Changtian Technology, how was the contract agreed?"
Simpson answered very seriously: "It is an ordinary sales and supply contract. The first batch is the supply of 100,000 lithium batteries we signed. We also first transferred 4 million RMB to the account of Changjiang Technology, and Changtian Technology also agreed We delivered 10,000 to 20,000 lithium batteries within a week, and they did exactly that."
Ollila quickly asked: "Didn't you propose exclusive supply terms to Changtian Technology?"
Exclusive supply terms are actually monopolistic practices that many mobile phone manufacturers are willing to use.
For example, although Nokia's cameras are produced by a third-party company, they require exclusive certification from Carl Zeiss.
Carl Zeiss is a world-famous company that manufactures optical and optoelectronic equipment. The cameras certified by it are absolutely unique in the world and can be recognized by consumers.
Nokia originally signed an exclusive supply agreement with Carl Zeiss. Only the cameras of Nokia mobile phones can meet the certification of Carl Zeiss, and no other mobile phone manufacturers can obtain them.
Although Ericsson's mobile phone also has 300,000 pixels and uses Sony's high-quality camera, it has no way to obtain certification from Carl Zeiss.
So Nokia has an advantage when it comes to cameras.
Today Ollila learned that Changtian Technology, the only lithium battery supplier in the world, can produce 1,480 mAh batteries in such a small battery compartment.
Except for Changtian Technology, even the most advanced Samsung and Panasonic cannot produce lithium batteries of this capacity.
The only thing is monopoly.
Ollila was anxious now!
Nokia has not signed an exclusive supply agreement with Changtian Technology.
Then Changtian Technology can completely sell their lithium batteries to other mobile phone manufacturers, and Nokia's competitiveness will be greatly weakened.
Ericsson's mobile phones are cheaper than Nokia's. If Changtian Technology's lithium batteries are used, Nokia's competitiveness will be completely lost.
Ollila said anxiously: "When you approached Changtian Technology to sign a contract, why didn't you sign an exclusive public supply agreement?"
Simpson had some doubts, "The company didn't have this requirement back then!"
"You!" Ollila was so angry that she almost vomited blood!
He quickly added: "Did Changtian Technology put forward any other conditions when you signed the agreement?"
Simpson thought for a while and said: "Changtian Technology hopes that Nokia can jointly build a mobile phone production factory with them in Jiangzhou and transfer 30% of Nokia's global mobile phone production lines to Jiangzhou.
Let's make a rough estimate. If we want to follow Changtian Technology's requirements, Nokia will have to invest at least 4 million US dollars. "
Simpson also self-righteously claimed credit and said: "Jiangzhou City is an extremely backward city and does not have supporting production capacity. If we agree to Changtian Technology's request, then this investment will probably be lost.
With this money, we might as well buy Panasonic lithium batteries instead of Changtian Technology, so we did not agree. We did not report this absolutely unreasonable request to the head office. "
When Ollila heard Simpson say this, she felt dizzy and really wanted to vomit blood!
