More than a year after the launch of OPhone, China Unicom also released its own system called "Wo Phone". February 28, China Unicom held a conference in Beijing, officially announced the "Wo Phone" platform details, and United Tianyu, Samsung and other 7 manufacturers to launch the first world phone phones, is expected to start listing sales in late March. According to the reporter understand, the WO phone platform is not previously rumored based on the Android system for two development, but using Linux2.6 as the core, by China Unicom in 2008 began to organize research and development. Yimin, general manager of China Unicom, said that the current "Wo phone platform release is only the first step, I hope more partners to join the industrial chain, to help carry out the promotion and improvement of WO phone." Unicom is currently actively communicating with the handset manufacturers, hoping they will soon launch the mobile phone platform. "plans to push 1 million phone handsets this year, hoping to make up more than half of the world's brands," he said. Yi Yingtao, general manager of China Unicom Sales department, said in an interview with reporters. Nuclear Shishou project with the popularity of smartphones, mobile operating system is more and more important, the recent cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft also illustrates the importance of mastering the operating system on the smart machine. "The intelligent terminal operating system has become the core of the new ecosystem of mobile Internet, the next few years is the key period of the pattern formation, should make full use of China's huge market to seize the opportunity," Xi, vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said at the Walt Phone Conference. "The current mainstream smartphone system for Apple iOS, Google Android, as well as Symbian, Windows phone and so on." Zhang Zhijiang, general manager of China Unicom Technology Department and director of China Unicom Research Institute, said that there are two models for the development of the operating system, one based on Android and other platforms for two development, but this does not control the core technology, so Unicom chose another mode, that is, through the Linux kernel for independent development. According to Unicom, China Unicom began in 2008 to organize Shenzhen Kanghida, science and technology century, data, telecommunications, ZTE, Tianyu Communications, Peng-chi technology, and other domestic technology-based enterprises to start the 3G Mobile intelligent operating system and basic software platform independent research and development work. Chinese Academy of Engineering Academician, China Unicom Science and Technology Committee director Liu Yanjie revealed that the current WO phone's core research and development team is more than 200 people, as the national "nuclear Shishou" one of the results of the project, WO phone operating system development work has been the Ministry of Industry, Science and technology, NDRC, SASAC and other government Liu Yanjie also frankly, in the research and development team size and capital investment, the WO phone system and Google, Microsoft and other inputs than the gap is very large, "now the release system is only completed the first step, the second step is to the Wo phone in the Chinese market to promote." Zhang Zhijiang that the autonomous system is more conducive to the promotion in China, such as helping to reduce the development of mobile phone manufacturersThreshold and development cycle, but also to cover the financial, securities, medical, transportation and many other industry applications, and to meet the needs of the tablet and home TV multi-screen seamless collaboration. In the day's press conference, Tianyu, WA, Motorola, Samsung, Huawei, ZTE, TCL, HTC and other mobile phone manufacturers to show the first batch of the end products, including Tianyu and the two mobile phones have passed the Ministry of the network detection, into the production phase. Zhang Zhijiang said that the future Wo phone terminal is not only supporting the WCDMA network, there will be wcdma/gsm dual-mode, even CDMA200, TD and LTE network. Marketing torture reporter learned that unicom's wo phone will be similar to Windows Phone licensing mode, each cell phone charge 30 yuan. "But most of the mobile phones that were launched in the first batch did not collect money. "Zhang Zhijiang said. Yi Yingtao said that the current unicom has almost all of the handset manufacturers have had communication, in addition to Nokia because of the special issue still in the negotiations, other manufacturers have promised to launch the WO phone phones. One of the Sky Lang Tong's wo phone phones will be first listed in late March. In fact, the current mobile operating system is numerous, unicom how to persuade manufacturers to support such a new operating system? "We will give the best subsidy policy to wo phone," Yi Yingtao said. "Unicom's internal roughly will be the mobile phone terminal into the machine, 1500 yuan under the intelligent machine, more than 1500 yuan smart machines, star strategy terminals of these four types, respectively, to carry out the subsidy ratio of different charges." "Wo phone, regardless of pricing, will use the same as the star Strategic terminal as the highest subsidy." "Yi Yingtao said. In addition, Yi Yingtao stressed that Unicom will also use its own 120,002 channel outlets to the WO phone to promote the focus. However, Wang, director of research at Isuppli China, said the mobile phone maker's attitude to the company is likely to be "to give China Unicom face", the total sales of the national Smart machine last year more than 50 million units, Wo phone estimated that 1 million of the amount will not have much impact on the manufacturers. In Wang's view, another more important issue for unicom than persuading handset makers to join is how to build the eco-phone ecosystem. OPhone, which has been mobile based on Android for two times, has not done too well in this regard, and Unicom's new system is more difficult. Unicom's plan in this regard is through the existing "Wal-store" platform, the introduction of the application for the Wo phone app download, has launched 200 phone applications. The reporter learned that unicom also plans to release two updates per year based on market feedback, and launch the corresponding developer tools to support the development of the application of the Wo phone. However, Wang that the short-term phone may be limited to the low-end market, and not too much. In this respect, Yi Yingtao stressed that wo phone is not in the low-endPositioning, "We do not want to do the WO phone brand too low, now the initial stage is 2500 yuan below the model, the future will certainly cover the entire line."
