Smart terminal market popular dual system

Recently, new products in the smart terminal market have frequently appeared. Looking at these new products, it is not difficult to find that the dual system is quietly popular. On the smartphone side, there are Xiaomi's MIUI and native Android systems, as well as the soon-to-be-released Fujitsu F-07C Symbian and Windows 7 systems.

The introduction of dual operating systems can integrate the needs of different users, allowing terminal manufacturers to become more competitive and gain a larger market. On the other hand, there are certain problems with the dual system. Therefore, when manufacturers use dual systems to compete for users in the terminal products, they should be careful to be self-defeating.

Dual system products popular terminal market

The release of Xiaomi mobile phone has caused a lot of turmoil in the mobile phone industry.

It can be seen that in the terminal market of mobile phones, tablets, televisions, etc., dual operating systems are becoming popular.

Dual system integration of different user needs

In the smart terminal market, the competition is getting hotter. Nowadays, in addition to whether the application function is powerful and the appearance is fashionable and sleek, whether the operating system is convenient and easy to use has become an important and even the most important indicator for users to choose products. In order to meet the consumer demand of users and expand market share, smart terminal manufacturers pay more and more attention to the operating system.

However, in the highly competitive operating system market, all major operating systems have their own "fan group", support for Android, and nostalgia for WM, favor Apple iOS and &hellip ;… In addition, some domestic manufacturers independently developed operating systems have also gained a lot of attention from local users. Therefore, in order to win a bigger market, how to make its own products meet the different needs of different users in different operating systems has become an important issue that manufacturers have to consider.

The introduction of dual systems can be combined with the needs of different users, allowing users to switch between the two operating systems. For manufacturers, the risk of user loss due to a single operating system can be reduced. Cover different users on a larger scale to increase market share. In addition, for the user, it is also possible to run a program that is temporarily incompatible on another system on one system, and obtain more and more powerful application functions without changing the usage habits of the original operating system, and the manufacturer can also enhance the program. User stickiness.

For example, the Fujitsu F-07C is equipped with the Symbian system and the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. Window 7 is the same as the one we use on the computer, so users who are used to working on the computer can F-07C is used as a computer.

Competing for users to be careful and self-defeating

Although dual operating systems can win more market for manufacturers and bring more powerful application functions to users, there are certain problems in dual system products. .

First of all, dual systems can cause a waste of performance. Products with dual operating systems will consume a lot more power than general end products. For example, for ViewSonic 10pro users, when Android 2.3 runs on Windows 7, users only need to click Android nuclear power to switch between office and entertainment, which means that the tablet is running Android. It will also continue to support Windows services, which will increase battery consumption. Therefore, many people in the industry believe that the most important part of the operating system is system optimization. Practical, fast and power-saving is the king.

Secondly, if the compatibility and switching between the two operating systems cannot be done well, it may cause trouble for system maintenance. After users run or install some software on one operating system, if the software does not need to be used in another system, when switching to another installation system, it will cause the software to be redundant, redundant but not deleteable. Over time, it will cause trouble for users to use the software normally, and it is impossible to maintain the system.

In addition, some terminal products may make the original features of the products greatly reduced in order to take care of both operating systems. This kind of "demolition of the East Wall to make up the Western Wall" is really not very clever, and in the end it will even be worth the candle.

Therefore, although the dual operating system sounds tempting, terminal manufacturers are only trying to attract users while continuously optimizing the system and making more compatibility and switching between the two operating systems. Well, in order to truly transform the dual system into an advantage, it will give users a better experience and distance from other vendors.
