Recently, the industry has announced that Google will unify its mobile phone interface because Google's Android mobile phone manufacturers are scattered because it does not control the lifeblood of the entire industry chain like Apple's iPhone system. Despite Google's denial, questions about whether Google should unify its mobile phone interface have aroused great interest.
Because of its openness, the Android platform is the fastest growing and most popular among participating manufacturers and users. It is the biggest challenger to the iPhone. Once the interface is unified, many Android vendors may be embarrassed, the setting is far away from Google.
Therefore, I think this is definitely not worth the candle. Google is better off this idea. Google may have business plans on how to think about it, but it cannot blindly imitate Apple's iPhone. This is especially true in the global market and in the Chinese market.
What kind of mobile phone interfaces do Chinese consumers need in the future?
First, the mobile phone interface is as simple as possible, and the function is "silly ". In the future, smartphones will dominate the world. Smart phone advantages include touch screen and point-to-point operations. As long as you touch the screen with your fingers, you may respond immediately. Phone books, text messages, emails, the Internet, games, and settings all have a desktop, which is dazzling. When you are not careful, you can call and send text messages, many people are cautious about smartphones. As we know, China has gradually entered the aging country, and mobile phone sales space is still large, from white-collar and business people to middle-aged and elderly people and urban and rural groups. People who are used to fixed-line phone calls are inconvenient to use their mobile phones. Therefore, the mobile phone interface should be as "dumbfounded" as possible ". For example, the cool n930 has a dynamic weather forecast and video display effect. The weather in different cities, such as sunny days, cloudy days, and rainy days, is vividly on the screen. The Nokia n8 mobile phone can still view the time in the standby mode, so that people who have never used the mobile phone can use the mobile phone without reading the manual, this is very user-friendly.
Second, the design is attractive, but it must be practical. Apple's design was successful because it was calculated based on the palm size of people around the world. It makes most people feel comfortable with their mobile phones. Even Steve Jobs admitted that whether the product design is successful determines whether the product can bring a good user experience ...... At present, Motorola's Moto blur, Samsung's touchwiz, and Lenovo's phone's four-pronged, UI (User Interface) are indeed outstanding. However, we have to mention that the design of the two cell phones is worth learning from. Coolpad 8910 is inspired by Dali's famous painting "the eternal memory". The UI is full of fantastic charm. In practice, n930 adopts the stacked card-like information browsing mode on the plug-in desktop, when you flip pages, users will see similar 3D lifelike effects, which is an example of beautiful appearance and use.
Third, the mobile Internet, and the terminal return to the PC. China has over 0.8 billion million mobile users, nearly 0.5 billion million Internet users, and nearly 0.25 billion million mobile Internet users. It is estimated that the number of Internet users may exceed 2013 in 0.5 billion. Today, Weibo is everywhere: whether at the airport, at bus sites, subway stations, or on trains, surfing the internet with mobile phones or playing games. However, there are still many mobile phones that cannot access the Internet. Therefore, I think many smartphones have the most basic features of PCs on the mobile phone interface and can display multiple pages at the same time. At the same time, integrate QQ, MSN, fetion and other instant messaging tools on the same interface. Previously, China Telecom launched four-Channel 3G internet mobile phones, Lenovo, cool and other domestic mobile phone manufacturers to integrate Internet applications on terminals. I think this direction is correct, it is also the trend of mobile Internet connection in the future.
In my opinion, the android system will not be squashed by a single-stick iPhone only when Google firmly controls the Chinese market. Although the Chinese mobile phone market is not mature in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, it is very large. In addition, compared with India, Africa and other regions, Chinese mobile phones are still in the leading position in terms of price and design. Chinese old culture has a long history. on the mobile phone interface, we will be able to introduce new things and design mobile phones that meet Chinese habits. Therefore, Google should continue to adhere to the openness of Android, so that the mobile phone interface is full of flowers, leaving more space for Chinese mobile phone manufacturers to create.
