Digital Easy Station will answer your questions. In addition to iPhone mobile phones, the American mobile phones we are familiar with also have other brands of mobile phone products.
I won’t talk about Motorola mobile phones, they are so classic and have now been acquired by Lenovo.
In addition to the iPhone, there may have been another mobile phone brand that we are very familiar with before, Motorola. However, after Motorola was acquired by Lenovo, Motorola is now a Lenovo product.
In fact, in addition to iPhone, there are many other brands, but the one we may be more familiar with is BLU. This brand is similar to Xiaomi, focusing on cost-effectiveness, and the mobile phones it builds are basically relatively mid- to low-end models. However, in terms of price, it is still a bit expensive for domestic users. For American mobile phone users, Considering its relatively high price/performance ratio, you will find that many aspects of this phone are similar to the design style of our relatively mid- to low-end phones, and overall, compared with today's high-end flagship phones, it does lag behind. But this is the American Xiaomi brand, which focuses on cost-effectiveness.
Another brand is Google. Yes, Google has also released mobile phones, such as Pixel 4. This phone uses a Snapdragon 855 processor, a 2800mAh battery, and dual 122MP + 16MP rear cameras. The price of the lens is average. Apart from the native system, I really don’t find its advantages.
From this point of view, apart from the iPhone's ability to outshine others, the performance of brands such as Google or Blu does not make us feel amazing.
Nowadays, it can be said that our lives are truly inseparable from smartphones. Earlier, some people said that they should put down their mobile phones and calm down their hearts. But with the acceleration of the pace of life and work, mobile phones are no longer a communication tool and game console, but have become a part of our lives. Currently, mobile phones are mainly divided into Android and IOS according to the different operating systems. Of course, in the early days, there were Windows and other systems, but today, Android and IOS are basically equally divided. Moreover, we have been using smartphones for so many years. In the past, we could still see many foreign brands of mobile phones. Now, foreign brands are really rare in the field of Android mobile phones. They have basically become all domestic mobile phones, which is really gratifying.
Looking back at the history of mobile phone development, although many of our friends now use the same mobile phone brands, in the early to mid-term, there were more than 200 domestic mobile phone brands alone. Of course, now we can casually say There may only be ten or twenty models, but today we still have seventy or eighty domestic mobile phone brands. But when it comes to foreign mobile phone brands, many people may not be able to name even 10. Especially for the United States, a country with quite advanced technology, the only thing that everyone thinks of is the iPhone. In fact, when the Android mobile phone market was not as intense as it is today, there were still many domestic mobile phone brands in the United States, such as HP's Palm, Dell, Motorola, Microsoft, etc. (BlackBerry, which Americans love, is a Canadian brand), but now we can see There are very few American mobile phone brands. Basically, except for the two Bangzi mobile phone brands, the rest are basically from mainland China. Of course, there are still several local mobile phone brands in the United States, such as Apple and Google, which are two brands that Chinese people have heard of. Secondly, there are also the local American brand BLU, which only sells in South America, and YEZZ, which makes low-end copycat phones, and Razer Acquisition NEXTBIT comes from (the mobile phone released by Razer last year is the technology of this company). The other ones that can be seen are mainly customized mobile phones from the two telecom operators in the United States. In fact, we can see the clues if we look at which brands of mobile phones the American people buy every quarter. For example, the top ten mobile phone sales rankings in the United States are basically dominated by Apple and Samsung. Only the low-end mobile phone MOTO E4 is in the top. ten.
Others are basically foreign brands, such as Huawei, ZTE, LG, MOTO, TCL and its Alcatel brand. And as time goes by, for example, in the U.S. mobile phone sales rankings in Q3 this year, Apple, Samsung, and LG are mainly dominated by Apple, Samsung, and LG. Even the previous MOTO market share is getting smaller and smaller. In fact, there are fewer and fewer mobile phone brands in the United States. This is mainly the result of the asset-light model. Because the United States has high labor costs, it is completely unmatched if it relies solely on price wars to compete with Asian mobile phone brands. Therefore, although there are relatively few mobile phone brands in the United States, The profit in the mobile phone business is the highest every year. Not to mention Apple, in the field of Android mobile phones alone, the Android operating system is Google's, and mainstream mobile phone chips are basically used by American brands such as Qualcomm, Broadcom, Micron, and Infineon. occupy, so it seems that there are few mobile phone brands in the United States, but the annual mobile phone business profits are the highest in the world.
Although Apple’s iPhone has become the most mainstream smartphone in the U.S. market, it is not the earliest mobile phone brand in the United States.
1. Motorola
Before Apple was founded, Motorola was once the most famous mobile phone brand in the American market. However, since it entered the era of smartphones, Motorola did not develop better. market, and did not develop competitive products, so it was eventually acquired by Google and later by China's Lenovo brand.
Previously, Motorola was positioned as a high-end mobile phone brand by Lenovo, which was mainly concentrated overseas. However, after ZUK brand leader Chang Cheng took over Lenovo’s mobile phone business, he positioned Motorola as a high-end mobile phone brand with global development, thereby achieving a high-end brand. premium.
2. Google
As a giant Internet brand in the United States, its Android system has now become the mainstream mobile phone system in the world, and Google has also launched its own hardware products, including smart phones. Products such as mobile phones and laptops.
3. Microsoft
After Microsoft acquired Nokia, it launched several smartphones equipped with the Windows Mobile operating system. It was originally thought that Windows Mobile would become the third mobile phone after iOS and Android. Three major mobile phone systems, but in the end Microsoft chose to give up, and Nokia was also abandoned by Microsoft. It authorized a Finnish start-up company, HDM, to produce Android smartphones and use Nokia's trademark.
In addition to the mobile phone products of the above-mentioned giants, there is also a start-up brand that has attracted much attention since last year but has become unknown this year. That is Andy Rubin, the father of Android who resigned from Google. The Essential Phone was created, but the launch of this phone did not go smoothly. It is still uncertain whether there will be a second-generation product in the future.
When it comes to American mobile phone brands, at present, Apple is the most famous.
But when it comes to other brands of mobile phones, there are several. But their situation is not so good. Either go out of business or be acquired.
Let’s talk about the relatively well-known American brands
First, let’s talk about Google.
The Android operating system is developed by Google. Yes, so Google developed its own Nexus series of mobile phones. It is also equipped with the most native Android mobile phone system and is manufactured by a third-party manufacturer. However, this phone is not used much in China.
Second, let’s talk about Motorola
In the non-smartphone era, Motorola can be said to be a dominant player in mobile phones. In the smartphone market in the past few years, Motorola’s sales volume It was still good, but later on, Motorola no longer focused on the production of hardware. So Motorola's mobile business was sold to Google. Later, Google sold Motorola's smartphone business to Lenovo. Of course, the fate of the dominant player in the mobile phone market can be described as twists and turns.
Third, let’s talk about Microsoft again
After the rise of smartphones, people’s use of computers is getting lower and lower. In order to consolidate its dominance in operating systems, Microsoft. So he launched his own WINDOWS phone mobile operating system. However, the usage was not satisfactory, and even after acquiring the Nokia brand, it failed to increase its sales. Now, mobile phones with Microsoft operating system have basically withdrawn from the market.
There used to be a formula for domestic mobile phones: Zhong, Hua, Ku, Xiaomi, Meizu, OPPO, Vivo... So for American mobile phone brand manufacturers, apart from Apple iPhone mobile phones, are there no other mobile phone brand manufacturers? ?
For the domestic mobile phone brand in the United States, Apple definitely deserves the first place in success and excellence, with a market value of close to one trillion. However, there are still several brands well-known to users in the United States:
Google nexus: Google acquired the Android company in 2005 and has been committed to developing mobile operating systems. However, in 2008, it launched its G1 mobile phone. Today The most hyped mobile phone is the Pixel 2. If it can be launched as scheduled, it will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 8G running memory, use hyperboloid glass similar to iPhone 4, 34-megapixel Hasselblad lens, support 4x optical zoom, and equipped with iris Identification module technology...but the above are all guesses.
Motorola: The company was founded in 1928. It is one of the world's top 100 companies, a global leader in chip manufacturing and electronic communications. It was once the proud enterprise of the United States. Motorola and Nokia once became the leading players in the mobile phone industry before 2010. King. However, due to various reasons, it has gone downhill. It has lost market share, and has also lost a certain amount of efforts in corporate product promotion and research and development, and has slowly faded out of people's sight.
Microsoft: A rising star in the mobile phone industry, Microsoft has shifted its focus to Windows 10 Mobile. Recently, there are rumors that two more banks have given up financial support for the Windows Phone platform. After ending the WP client, Brazilian banks and Turkish foreign banks will focus on the more promising Android and iOS platforms. Microsoft is also telling us: We tried, and although we failed, we still worked hard to move forward.
Among U.S. mobile phone brands, Apple has the highest market share and is the most well-known, followed by Google and Motorola. Microsoft started late in making mobile phones and received poor feedback. Almost no one around them is using them.
Quite a lot but one apple is enough. Apple is enough to compete with the world. It's not about having many soldiers, it's about being good!
Currently, the world’s mainstream mobile phones mainly include Apple, Samsung, Huawei, OV, and Xiaomi. There are also some niche brands, such as OnePlus, LG, Google mobile phones, Motorola, and Japanese brands.
In the United States, due to the suppression of domestic brands, domestic brand mobile phones are currently almost unable to enter the North American market. ZTE had a period of brilliant performance before, but later gradually withdrew.
Therefore, in the United States, apart from Apple, almost all mobile phones are Samsung phones. There are also some other niche brands, but they do not have much market share.
Google, motorcycles...
There are Google phones, BlackBerrys. Microsoft has made mobile phones.
