Under the enthusiasm of capital, blockchain concept companies and products emerge one after another. The mobile phone industry is no exception. Recently, mobile phone manufacturers including Candy, Changhong, and Lenovo have successively released blockchain mobile phones, but this move has raised questions. The reporter noted that the current blockchain mobile phones are brands that do not have an advantage in market share. Jingxi, a senior analyst at IDC Terminal Systems Research Department, said that the big mobile phone manufacturers have not announced their involvement. From the actual usage scenarios, the relationship with the blockchain is not large, and more is staying in concepts and publicity. “Mobile phones launched by brands like Candy, Changhong and Lenovo are not blockchain phones.†Cao Yu, founder of the Energy Blockchain Lab, said in an interview with this reporter that “the blockchain on the mobile side is particularly difficult to do. The industry even believes that it is impossible to make a mobile blockchain system in this year and next." Recently, Lenovo launched its first blockchain mobile phone, the Lenovo S5. This is another mobile phone company that launched the “blockchain mobile phone†after the candy mobile phone and Changhong mobile phone. Throughout the above three blockchain mobile phones, Lenovo's main security, candy and Changhong are selling with the hot "mining" function. It is reported that Candy Creation Edition blockchain mobile phone is a mobile phone positioned as a combination of "mobile phone + blockchain wallet + mining machine". This phone can get "Candy Points" on a regular basis without any extra work. This credit can be used to redeem goods and services specified in the candy store and app market. In terms of candy, this is not a virtual currency nor a transaction, but it cannot limit third-party trading points. The phone is priced at 3,999 yuan. In fact, the industry has already questioned the “blockchain mobile phone†with “mining†function. In Cao’s view, whether or not to use blockchain technology is to clarify what consensus mechanism is used for this product. How many nodes are public chains, alliance chains or private chains? This is the key. If there is nothing, it is not a blockchain. The other industry's "blockchain mobile phone" Changhong R8 Kirin mobile phone also sold for 2999 yuan, is also a mining phone, just open the Unicorn APP in the phone, click the start button to ensure that the mobile phone network is smooth, WiFi Under the 4G network, mining can be achieved to obtain Eucalyptus. It did not explain to the public which nodes the blockchain mobile phone utilized, and did not explain how the user obtained the Ukrainian currency. When the reporter asked a salesperson of Changhong mobile phone how to get more Ukulecoin, the salesperson said that there is no unified standard, it is recommended to charge mine, keep the network and signal unblocked. In a WeChat group called "Youke Smart Choice - Changhong R8 Kirin User Group", our reporter learned that a user has dug 240, 380, 1400, 1000 Yuke in the first four days. “There were 900 excavations in 5 hours before the fourth day, and only 100 were dug in the last 3 hours.†Unicorn is an ecosystem of mobile trust networks, followed by a variety of applications around the UIC ecosystem. According to Guo Dexuan, chairman of Changhong, Changhong R8 Kirin mobile phone is the first Unicorn blockchain mobile phone developed by Changhong Communications for Unicorn. Based on the POW consensus algorithm, device fingerprint technology, and LBS location service, it is a mobile phone that can mine, and can use the blockchain to record information such as fingerprints and geographic location. In addition, the reporter learned that the user-excavated premium coins can be used to download the paid apps in the UIC application market and pay for value-added services in the application. A salesperson of Changhong Mobile said that the project will be on the exchange later. Another user bought ten Changhong R8 kylin mobile phones in succession for mining. He expressed his deepest expectation for the subsequent development of the ecosystem and ICO (first currency issue). Lenovo said that Lenovo's blockchain mobile phone is the main security, Lenovo S5 in the encrypted secure payment space - Z space payment area system from the bottom of the use of "blockchain" technology, a number of patents escort, solve payment security The problem is to protect the user's account, password and online shopping security, and support the blockchain technology from the bottom. This makes payments safer. The industry has also raised doubts about the encryption security used by Lenovo phones. Cao Yu believes that the problem of blockchain security is not in the same dimension or category as the security problem solved in the conventional sense. Encryption security does not have to be tied to the blockchain. Security in the conventional sense refers to how to prevent hackers from cracking passwords and not being hacked. For payment, the payment needs to be encrypted and encrypted separately. “The blockchain security solves the payment security of banks and Alis. Banks provide transactions for users. Users are transparent to banks and Ali. Who can transfer money and transfer money? Banks and Ali can see one. Clearly, but because the blockchain is essentially a public account book, with decentralization and transparent synchronization of multiple nodes, it solves the problem that I don’t need Ali and regular banking institutions to realize such a payment system. No one can Peek at your cards," Cao Yu told reporters that secure encryption is not an application scenario for blockchains. Blockchains are used to form distributed, decentralized consensus, and encryption security is not too big. relationship. For specific technical details and these doubts, our reporter has consulted Changhong mobile phone and Lenovo, and Lenovo mobile phone said that “there is no other information at presentâ€. Changhong mobile phone communication company refused the interview of this reporter because the mobile phone blockchain mobile phone of Changhong was in its infancy. It is worth noting that the above three mobile phone brands have a small share in the domestic mobile phone market. Changhong mobile phones and candy mobile phones are all small mobile phones. The share of the former giant Lenovo in the domestic smart phone market has also fallen out of the top ten. Lenovo’s press conference was also interpreted by the outside world as an announcement that Lenovo’s own brand officially returned to the mobile phone market. The fact is that the mobile phone brand owners have played blockchain concept mobile phones, which are generally considered to be hot spots or gimmicks. Blockchain may not be a shortcut for Lenovo. At present, the big mobile phone manufacturers have not announced their involvement in this field. Before that, Huawei sent a “blockchain mobile phone†in the industry. It was also confessed by Yu Chengdong, chairman of Huawei Terminal: “I have never heard of it.†According to industry insiders, the blockchain technology on the mobile side may be more difficult. Cao Yu told this reporter that they found that many application scenarios are not needed and are not suitable for blockchain. "After large enterprise evaluation, it is considered that the application of blockchain in mobile phone operations is too complicated, and the business model design is difficult. In addition, it still needs to face The trend of strict regulation, so the big companies gave up the idea, and some small companies think that the blockchain is good, I hope to speculate." In the view of Sun Yanxi, the president of the First Mobile Phone Research Institute, at the current stage, the blockchain mobile phone is too far away from the general public. It is difficult to use the blockchain, and users can not speculate on the currency. Blockchain mobile phones can make up to Some applications of the mass contact blockchain, not all people will buy this phone. After the shuffle of the smartphone market in the past year, the domestic smartphone market has changed from the previous inverted triangle to the current T-type and oligopolistic market. The top five smartphone manufacturers account for nearly 80% of the market share, and the survival of small-brand mobile phone manufacturers. The pressure is getting bigger. After the rapid growth of domestic smartphone sales in 2015~2016, the domestic smartphone sales fell back to -11.6% in 2017, and the sales growth rate in the first two months of 2018 even dropped to -26.2%. As early as 2015, China's smartphone market has turned from a growth phase to a stable development period. The Chinese smartphone market has also matured and high growth is difficult to sustain. Forward-looking Industrial Research Institute estimates that China's smartphone sales will reach 450 million units in 2018, and the overall growth rate shows a downward trend. The mobile phone industry has entered a new round of winter. In today's fierce competition in the mobile phone market and serious homogenization, various mobile phone manufacturers are striving to differentiate themselves. Jingxi said that at present, blockchain mobile phones cannot be the mainstream driving force for the mobile phone market. The user's immediate needs are still focused on the screen, camera, etc. These are the main focuses of big manufacturers. A domestic mobile phone manufacturer engineer believes that it is king for mobile phone manufacturers to do a good job, experience, and design. Kindwin Technology (H.K.)
