the year to launch Web OS smartphones. September 18th,2012.
Google
against manufacturers such as Acer aboard "aliyun OS" following the
events of mobile, intelligent Terminal platform strategy begin to receive
domestic manufacturers are concerned about.
Executive
Vice President, ZTE he Shiyou, told Sohu IT yesterday in an interview revealed,
ZTE has started Web-based OS system independent innovation, first Web OS phone
is expected to be listed on overseas markets during the fourth quarter of this
year, China has started cooperation with Telecom operators to communicate.
ZTE Web OS aimed at "a rainy day"
Currently, ZTE most Smartphone products mainly uses the
Android platform. Prior to this,
ZTE was launched in June this year the first WindowsPhone phone V965W and 10%
of mobile phone sales this year are expected from a Windows Phone.
He Shiyou Sohu IT says ZTE has been operating systems
adhere to the multi-platform strategy, in addition to those already launched
Windows Phone 7.5 products, at the end of the year or early next year to launch
Windows Phone 8 phones and tablets.
He Shiyou, occupied Android Smartphone system
"half", the United States, Europe, as well as domestic carriers have
been discussing this issue. All
perspectives are not hope it will not be subject to a single operating system
itself.
Web OS is an open source system itself, the
main advantage is that regardless of the user's Android phone, or a Windows
Phone, primary users can connect to the Internet, browser, you can no longer
distinguish between platforms and applications. Such a model, future for carriers,
service providers and handset makers, will bring more convenience.
He Shiyou stressed that ZTE is to emphasize more openness
by the operating system, security, aimed at future guarantee that ZTE
constantly launches intelligent mobile phone products, so the underlying
software and chips are to "rainy day" and do related work.
Cottage manufacturers six months later to join the
quad-core mobile phone wars
ZTE Mobile currently has a product layout from high to
low, including Grand, Skate and the Blade of the three series. Yesterday, the ZTE released its WCDMA
Grand Era Edition quad-core mobile phone, cost around 2000 Yuan, plans will be
listed at the end of September or early October.
For smart phones, "quad-core wars" issue, said
he Shiyou, quad-core mobile phone is still in the country or in one of the more
advanced levels. Now Smartphone
price war in China is mainly focused on the dual-core products, mainly market
driven by the cottage. Cottage
truly joined quad-core mobile "shopping war" he Shiyou:
"estimates that there are about half a year of time difference".
Domestic high-end 4G dual-mode phone support FDD/TDD
function.
In August this year, Sunrise launched its first 4G in
Hong Kong, ZTE has said before, TD-LTE terminal will be introduced before the
end of next year in scale.
4G differences for the domestic market and other markets
issue he Shiyou Sohu IT says currently 4G will mainly include TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA
and GSM phone mode, products of the future will also be considered in a
subsequent module WCDMA.
From the perspective of foreign markets, because most
foreign carriers using FDD mode, so in terms of high-end products joining the
FDD supports roaming function or module, supports dual-mode features 4G.
ZTE WCDMA handset market strategy in the second half to
adjust
Starting from the third quarter of last year, China
overtook the United States as the world's largest smartphone market. At the same time, operators thousands
of smart policies, Internet business into the mobile phone industry, and
shanzhai "revival" effect, the domestic smartphone market is caught
in a fierce price war.
He Shiyou said, judging from the first half of the year,
ZTE WCDMA handset market faced great challenges in the country, mainly because
an increasing number of mobile phone manufacturers, the stronghold strengthened
the trend, but in TD-SDCMA and EVDO market is maintained relatively fast
development.
Currently, ZTE is the world's fourth largest mobile phone
manufacturers, v Chi master machine manufacturers. For domestic rivals press, he Shiyou,
ZTE do not care about the gains and losses in a market with local, more still
need to take into account the global market and the overall development of ZTE
handset first half of the year in the United States, Europe and Japan markets
accelerated significantly.
He Shiyou believes that "business is like running a
marathon," ZTE has been adjusted in the WCDMA market in the second half,
stressing that "healthy and sustainable positive development", many
manufacturers to compete on the same stage as ebb, survive itself depends on
the strength reflected at last.
Following is the record of an interview with:
The facilitator (Sohu IT art): dear all friends Hello, it gives me great pleasure today
to Executive Vice President, ZTE he Shiyou, total Hi Ho!
He Shiyou: Sohu, you and friends, everyone!
Moderator: ZTE WCDMA version was just released Grand Era quad-core
mobile phone, the product price is approximately how much? When it will be available for sale in
the Chinese market?
He Shiyou: Grand Era price around 2000 Yuan, a product must be a
value for money very good. We
hope that consumers will eventually recognized, to a lot of use instead of
putting it into a superior product. Expected
to be available for sale at the end of September beginning of October in the
Chinese market.
Moderator: remember the Blade V880 launch event, you told me that
this phone does not make money. Quad-core
mobile Grand Era sale at months of 2000, we earn money?
He Shiyou: should say this phone is phone of ZTE's top products,
first of all, the product must be making money if the company does not make
money, products of the enterprise would not be necessary to do so. Businesses serving the people is what
needs to be done, but serving the people cannot remain free.
Moderator: communications exhibition begins in Barcelona, from
February, global smart phone manufacturers started the "quad-core"
mobile phone war. In the domestic
market, international manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, domestic manufacturers
such as ZTE, Huawei, HTC and millet's quad-core mobile phone price war has hit
less than 2000. Your "multi
core" mobile phone price wars do you think?
He Shiyou: quad-core mobile phones in the country or are in a
leading position.Domestic price war now mainly dual-core level, mainly due to
the cottage market driven.Cottage currently quad-core solution is still
relatively small, I estimate there are about half a year time lag.
Moderator: Grand Era what hopes and expectations in sales?
He Shiyou: TD has been pushed before the Grand Era format, today
made a WCDMA version will also launch China Telecom EVDO version. Publish this product we want to face
the world, hoped that the concept of mega product shipments.
ZTE's brand, of course with increased the strength of ZTE
connection channels, e-channels with industry, and like GOME and suning, large
chain stores such cooperation, we also do user experience online shop building. Experience the building of shops we
also with suning, the construction of some large chain stores, while both
through the online electronic channels of sales. We hope that consumers would be more
convenient to purchase ZTE phones more convenient user experience shop
products, buy feel what is before and after use, before deciding to buy.
Moderator: Google last week stopped publishing aliyun Acer mobile
phones, has also raised concerns about domestic smart phone manufacturers a
multiplatform strategy. You think
on this issue? Huawei has made
began to back up their phone system, ZTE is there a plan?Will independent OS?
He Shiyou: ZTE has been operating systems adhere to the
multi-platform strategy, ZTE phones is currently based mainly on Android
platform, while also launching a Windows Phone 7.5 mobile phones, expected late
this year or early next year to launch Windows Phone 8 phones and tablets.
In addition, ZTE has started Web-based OS system
independent innovation, goes on sale in overseas markets and operators during
the year. ZTE has been supporting
multiple operating systems, aliyun thing, of course, that there are other factors,
we inconvenienced evaluation.
Overall, the future mobile Internet companies, including
content providers and handset manufacturers, in the scramble for business
applications, as well as ownership, we will further intensify the
contradiction. Most important
also to emphasize the combination of hardware and software, this is the most
important. If only the software,
not hardware, ultimately is difficult. Or
if you have the hardware, no software, no. ZTE
will in terms of hardware and software applications to do overall planning and
consideration.
Moderator: we know that HP bought Palm, launches a Web OS.
He Shiyou: we all know that the original code was open, shared, but
different manufacturers in this basis, then do the secondary development and
application are not the same. Web
OS, of course most important is system application based on different
consumers, whether you use Android cell phone, or a Windows Phone, future
applications will be Web-based mode of the OS will be shielding the operating
system, including the operator. Please
do not make the distinction between platform and application, many content
providers, first developed Android version is Windows Phone formats. If you later after passing the Web OS
development.
You do not need to be concerned about my back, Android
is, or what other mode. Such a
model, future for carriers, service providers and handset makers, will bring
more convenience.
Moderator: controversy between Google and aliyun one focus is
"aliyun Android environment, frameworks, and tools", do we also
encounter the same problem in the future?
He Shiyou: Web OS itself is an open source operating system,
globally, including the United States and European carriers, even our domestic
carriers are also being explored. All
perspectives are not hope it will not be subject to the operating system
itself. Cell phone manufacturers
do not want this, operator does not want this, content providers is also true,
of course, that there is a process.
Moderator: last week, I interviewed the Minister of miit Miao
Weimiao, Miao said about TD-LTE a year licence. ZTE TD-LTE phone has been released in
Hong Kong before, when did the earliest publication?
He Shiyou: actually, we released a product in Hong Kong last month,
ZTE TD-LTE at home has also been associated with the miit, China Mobile
cooperation.
When can China listed 4G TD-LTE phone, depending on the
4G amount of licence issuance and 4G network construction in China. From the ZTE itself, our technology
and product problem does not exist at present. Primarily a national time of licence
issuance, construction of carrier networks, we will be the first time
cooperation with China Mobile and other relevant departments, 4G services for
Chinese consumers as soon as possible.
Moderator: TD-LTE published in domestic phone will be compatible
with FDD and WCDMA?
He Shiyou: currently at home that block, 4G cell phone models will
mainly include TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA and GSM. Except,
of course, outside the block, China Mobile also supports the WCDMA standard in
overseas markets. We will also
take into account in a subsequent module WCDMA products.
From the perspective of the domestic market, because the
network of China Mobile has a TD, so TD-SCDMA is certain to be supported. Course products also support roaming
users roaming outside the overseas, in addition to other supporting WCDMA
standard, also taking into account the support FDD mode. Because many overseas countries,
mostly FDD 4G,3G is more complicated. Mode,
of course, the more to chip manufacturers, rival manufacturers will make a lot
more difficult, while increasing costs.
Moderator: zhongxing is currently the world's fourth-largest
manufacturer of mobile phones, v Chi master machine manufacturers. But Huawei and Lenovo also punches in
the domestic market this year, Huawei and even make smartphones shipped 60
million the year, how do you think ZTE in the next keep their shipments and
market share advantage?
He Shiyou: ZTE in the first half of the year, especially on the
domestic market, especially in the WCDMA market, still faces a great challenge,
because this market trend is clear to cottage, number mobile phone
manufacturers are also so much more.
Overall, the first half of the year, ZTE WCDMA market is
also affected by a number of effects. In
June this year, I also mentioned that greater impact in the WCDMA market,
domestic carriers such as China Unicom is also limited to Terminal control. So we at home that block, in
particular in the WCDMA market, were certain effects in the first half. Of course we TD-SDCMA, EVDO or keep
the better development of the market.
In addition to domestic, our overseas development is very
fast, especially in the high-end market is developing very fast, as we have in
the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan have witnessed rapid development
of regional markets. Our smart
phones in our global export over 8 million units in the second quarter.
I think that after enterprise's development is like a
marathon, ultimately, it is the embodiment of strength. ZTE has been adjusted in the WCDMA
market in the second half, stressing that "healthy and sustainable
positive development." Enterprise
competition like the ebb, many manufacturers of competition results and finally
survive is the embodiment of strength.
So I think I do not care about the gains and losses in a
market with local, we also take into account the global market and overall
development.
Moderator: ZTE the domestic manufacturers develop earlier Tablet PC
manufacturers, but almost all the China-made Android Tablet manufacturers
general sales conditions. ZTE in
the flat next plans?
He Shiyou: I firmly believe that the Tablet PC development still
have a big advantage in the future, there is currently some Tablet user
experience gap. We now use a
Tablet mostly video, entertainment, or Internet tablet can really resolve the
cloud services in the future, the tablet computer will gradually replace the
existing computer. If you can
take that time to further enhance, this time Tablet user experience will be
further enhanced.Windows8 like we see today, flat panel and style used on the
computer are integration. In
addition to Windows8 system changes, I believe Android Tablet there will be
some improvement.
So from this perspective, tablet computer is an existing
computer in the future one of the alternatives to evolution, there is no
dispute. Just saying this market
include Apple iOS, there is a wide gap in the cloud services. Cloud services is to have a process,
if this step, users can not limited download speeds, unlimited, and number of,
these technologies solved, I believe the tablet will have a broad market.
Moderator: due to time reasons, we interview
here, thank you, what is the total, Sohu, hope you can come be our guest.
He Shiyou: thank you, thank you, our dear all friends of Sohu. Welcome focus on Sohu, also concerned
about ZTE, also to ZTE's future development we all more opinions, thank you.
