Re: [id-android] WTI : Motorola is the first manufacturer to beat the specs race

Kalo baca review dari The Verge di http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/5/4588922/moto-x-review kayaknya sekali secara hardware wise Moto X ini ga ada apa-apanya dibanding S*msung dkk, minimal cukup bisa bikin reviewernya terkesan tuh... tinggal liat aja apa pengguna awalnya sama terkesannya dengan para reviewer ini... kalo iya, berarti strategi rebranding Motorola berhasil :D

Iya, article-nya sepertinya mau ke arah kesuksesan. Sampe ditangan konsumer baru kelihatan performance aslinya. Tapi saya sendiri ragu sih bisa ngalahain performance penjualan samsung. Atau bahkan bisa ngalahin performance nexus device, ini lebih ke arah gimmick. Tadinya saya pikir akan dijual dengan harga medium, tapi kok malah di set ke high end phone yg kalau dibandingkan spec-nya jauh banget (dual vs quad). 

Kalau dengan harga medium bisa jadi entry phone utk orang2 yg baru pindah dari feature phone ke smartphone. Pasti puas dan penjualan tinggi walau margin kecil. Soalnya ini sesuai dengan strategi Google utk sebanyak2nya membuat orang mempergunakan internet dan google services. 

Kalau nanti setelah ngeliat demand pasar yg gak tinggi, lalu harganya diturunkan misalnya $200 jadi $100, kasihan yg udah beli duluan. Pasti sakit hati, terus brandnya tercoreng. Kesimpulannya gak paham nih strategi marketingnya :P

Kalo gitu istilahnya mustinya "Avoid the specs race". Ini baru cocok utk arti gak ikut2an. Kalo "beat" kesannya lebih hebat/sukses dibanding device2 yg balapan specs... imho.

Beat the spec race bukan berarti sukses di pasaran. Penulisnya hanya
bilang bahwa Motorola nggak ikut-ikutan perang spek.
