Jobs's greatness is beyond doubt, but he never does market research when making mobile phones, because he thinks that although consumers are the theme of using mobile phones, they are not clear about the current level of technology development, what technology can be used for, and they can't predict that the next slogan will change the direction of the whole industry.
Therefore, Jobs doesn't need to know what the market demand is, just need to hear consumers say, "Oh, my God! That's great! " That's enough. Dual speakers on mobile phones are such a function.
In fact, the development history of dual speakers in smart phones is not long. If we want to trace back, it is 20 16, and as a leading manufacturer of dual speakers, it is still Apple that we are familiar with.
IPhone 7 is Apple's 10 generation mobile phone, which was released in San Francisco on September 8, 20 16. There are many trend-setting places on iPhone 7, such as canceling the headphone jack, wireless headphones, dustproof and waterproof, and dual speakers.
Apple mentioned at the press conference that the iPhone 7 adopts a dual speaker design, which supports a higher dynamic range stereo sound, and the volume is twice that of the iPhone 6s. In addition to the traditional speaker at the bottom of the fuselage, the other speaker is at the receiver position above the fuselage.
In addition to the big upgrade in volume, the sound quality of the dual speakers has also been greatly improved. The tolerance for sound will be higher, the range will be wider, the resolution will be stronger, and there will be obvious bass effect and surround sound effect, especially when listening to some complex symphonies, the timbres of various instruments can be clearly distinguished. On the contrary, a single speaker sounds dull. If you want to make a metaphor, it's like a voice locked in a speaker.
Of course, in actual use, it is generally said that dual speakers are also advancing with the times, that is, when playing chicken-eating mobile games, you can hear the direction of footsteps without headphones. Watching a video on a horizontal screen, only one side is noisy, which is also very uncomfortable. It is no exaggeration to say that dual speakers are more practical than 5G at present!
Although two speakers are not an order of magnitude better than a single speaker, there is also a problem. Auditory amnesia is the easiest. If you don't compare the two mobile phones, it's hard to see the difference. Therefore, many people will ignore the dual speakers when buying a mobile phone. Why do you want to make an extra horn? Didn't I use this horn well, too?
In fact, for many users who are used to using a single speaker, a single speaker is enough to meet their needs. In Jobs' words, this is "the demand reflected by the market", but when users experience dual speakers, they will be moved and say, "Oh, my God! That's great! " This is to make products that surprise users, and I think it should also be the goal of manufacturers.
However, although the dual speakers caught fire on the iPhone 7, the best thing to do was not Apple, but Xiaomi. Xiaomi is not the first one to make dual speakers in China, but Xiaomi is the best one so far. It can be seen from the time difference of this sentence that Xiaomi has put a lot of effort into dual speakers.
Xiaomi's dual speakers should be launched in this year's Xiaomi 10 series, especially Xiaomi 10 pro. In the words of netizens, it is "you can take out your mobile phone to play music when dancing in the square dance", and even be dubbed "Xiaomi Music Mobile Phone" by netizens! This is actually a compliment from netizens and a high evaluation.
At the same time, the audio score of Xiaomi 10 pro on dxomark is still the first in the world, even surpassing many game phones that pay attention to external playback, which shows how much effort Xiaomi has made in the function of dual speakers.
In the latest Redmi K30S speed commemorative edition, Redmi is also equipped with super-linear dual speakers, and has also obtained the sound quality certification of Hi-Res high-quality headphones, which is comparable to CD sound quality. I don't know how many people Redmi's high-quality dual speakers will attract, but it will definitely add a lot of color to the mobile phone.
And it is also an effective function to enhance the experience. In addition to the dual speakers, the X-axis vibration motor Redmi is also arranged for you. Xiaomi's hard-core functions such as NFC and infrared will naturally not fall.
In my opinion, Xiaomi's efforts in user experience can still be seen. Redmi K30S Extreme Commemorative Edition is an example. Even if users don't care about the arrangement of dual speakers and X-axis motor, many people may be attracted by the special price of "dual11"2299, but they will still be moved by the experience of using dual speakers and X-axis motor.
As a "double 1 1 special machine", Redmi K30S speed commemorative edition also gave the answer with actual sales, and sold 654.38+10,000 units in one minute. Seize the good opportunity, grasp the needs of users, and add points to the experience after use. The progress of Xiaomi is visible to the naked eye.
