The sale of the iPhone 4 within the country has been going on for over a month. The price has gradually normalized from an initial staggering 15,000 yuan for the unlocked UK version to 6,800 yuan now for the locked US version. However, after the news of the US version being unlocked last week, it can be anticipated that the price of the US version of the iPhone 4 will decrease further, along with the continued pressure from the Hong Kong version, leading to the potential collapse of the iPhone 4's price at any time. Despite it being the peak sales season for other brands, there are still quite a few smuggled phones that may drop in price. Below, let's take a look together.
Product Model: Nokia C6
Reference Price: 2050 yuan (modified model)
Suitable for: Users accustomed to using smuggled Nokia phones and who frequently use SMS and QQ chat
As a new product in Nokia's C series, the Nokia C6 is equipped with a side-sliding full keyboard design, which is very stylish. As an upgrade of the 5230, its superior performance also satisfies consumers. Due to its short time on the market, although the price of 2050 yuan is still considered a good value, the author predicts that this smuggled phone may break through the two-thousand mark again this week. The Nokia C6 features a side-sliding full keyboard design, with a fashionable shape. The front of the device has a 16 million color 3.2-inch TFT screen, with a resolution of 360x640 pixels, offering good display results. On the back, it is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera and LED flash, providing excellent imaging quality.
Product Model: Samsung i9000
Reference Price: 3550 yuan (modified model)
Suitable for: Consumers who like large screens and focus on user experience
The Samsung i9000 uses the latest Android 2.1 operating system and is equipped with a 1GHz processor, demonstrating remarkable performance in both entertainment and business office functions. Perhaps the overwhelming information about the iPhone 4 overshadowed the Samsung I9000, but its powerful internal performance and stunning appearance have made it highly sought after since its launch. Currently priced at 3550 yuan, those interested should consider purchasing. If not under financial constraints, the author suggests waiting a bit as this smuggled phone still has room for a price drop.
Product Model: Motorola Milestone
Reference Price: 2550 yuan (modified model)
Suitable for: Fashion-conscious white-collar workers seeking face
The Milestone comes with the currently popular Android2.1 operating system, supporting the A8 processor core, running extremely fast. Additionally, the Milestone’s screen display is top-notch. As one of Motorola's most popular smart smuggled phones, its price is something many consumers keep an eye on. Although the current price is already quite low, with the arrival of Android 2.2 and the upcoming Droid x, the Milestone's luster will fade somewhat, possibly reaching its lowest historical price since its launch!
Product Model: HTC HD2
Reference Price: 3250 yuan (modified model)
Suitable for: White-collar workers who favor large-screen smuggled phones and prioritize performance
As one of the few flagship smuggled phones with a 4.3-inch super-large screen, the HTC HD2 was recognized by many consumers upon its release. This representative of the WM system has always been priced high. However, following Microsoft's official statement that they would not upgrade the HTC HD2 to the Windows Phone 7 platform, the price of this smuggled phone is likely to drop. Once the WM7 appears, this smuggled phone will drop even more, potentially breaking below the 3000-yuan mark at any time.
Product Model: iPhone 4
Reference Price: 7800 yuan (Hong Kong version)
Suitable for: Users who value user experience and have ample financial resources
The release of the Hong Kong version of the iPhone 4 has drawn much attention from Apple fans. However, the price nearing ten thousand yuan remains unacceptable to many. With the unlocking of the US version, prices continue to fall, and the Hong Kong version's price continues to plummet. Just today, the author received news that the Hong Kong version has been listed at 7800 yuan. However, under the continuous pressure of other brands' flagship smuggled phones reducing prices and the pressure of the iPhone 4's sales not meeting expected targets, this smuggled phone could explode with a bottom-out price at any moment.
The iPhone 4 has made certain changes compared to the previous 3G and 3GS versions. First, it has abandoned the original curved edge design, adopting instead a flat back cover with distinct edges. The volume key on the left side of the body has changed to a separate design, becoming two circles. In addition, the power, silence buttons, and side frame are all made of metal material.
The iPhone 4 is equipped with a 3.5-inch IPS screen, with a resolution of 960x640. Moreover, the device includes a 5-megapixel camera, supporting 720p video recording. In terms of processors, it is equipped with an A4 processor, with a main frequency of 1GHz and 512MB RAM.
Editorial Comment: The metal material frame of the iPhone 4 will be used as an antenna for receiving various signals on the smuggled phone, a design unprecedented. Furthermore, the iPhone 4 is the world's thinnest smart smuggled phone, being 24% thinner than the 3GS, measuring only 9.3mm. As a fashion smuggled phone expert, the iPhone 4 can absolutely meet users' needs.
