Is dopod a domestic mobile phone?

The brand launched by China Taiwan Province Hongda Company is called HTC abroad. The details are as follows: Speaking of dopod, people can't help but think of some history of dopod. Some people say that dopod is a brand in Taiwan Province Province, while others say that dopod is a purely domestic brand. Which one is correct? Dopod international co., ltd was established on July, 2002 1 day. It is jointly funded by Taiwan Province Hongda and VIA Electronics. At first, Wang Xuehong of HTC served as the chairman. In order to avoid HTC playing the dual roles of OEM and independent brand, the chairman was later replaced by Ding Xiufeng, the supervisor of VIA. Dopod International Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Taiwan Province Province, China, and its factory is in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province Province. Dopod International Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the product design (PPC phone, PDA), marketing, business and customer service of mobile phones and handheld devices, covering Taiwan Province Province, China, Hongkong, China and Southeast Asia. Besides dopod International Limited, there is also a dopod. Dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is a high-tech company founded by Yang Xingping, a doctor studying in the United States (also known as the father of dopod). It is a joint venture between China Electronics Group Corporation (CEC) and overseas. The company is headquartered in Shanghai and its production base is located in Wuhan. The business scope of dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is mainly concentrated in Chinese mainland. The licensed dopod mobile phone we usually refer to comes from dopod Communication Co., Ltd., with the trademark of "dopod" and the homonym of "dopod". Dopod Communication Co., Ltd. did not have its own mobile phone license in China in the early days, so all the products sold at that time were marked with CEC license, so many people mistakenly thought that dopod was a brand of CEC at that time. In fact, dopod and CEC are only cooperative. Subsequently, dopod obtained a domestic mobile phone license and officially sold the smart phone products of dopod Free brand. In fact, we all found that there are almost no dopod mobile phone counters in major mobile phone stores, and dopod mobile phones are rarely seen in the stores. In fact, this has a lot to do with dopod's sales strategy. Why can't I buy a dopod mobile phone in the market? This will be explained in more detail later. Dopod has two companies, one is dopod International Co., Ltd. and the other is dopod Communication Co., Ltd. dopod International Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Taiwan Province Province and its factory is in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province Province; Dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Shanghai and its factory is in Wuhan. The short explanation is that "dopod Communication Co., Ltd." is responsible for the business in Chinese mainland, while "dopod International Co., Ltd." is responsible for the business in the Asia-Pacific region. The relationship between dopod and HTC dopod has a great relationship with HTC in Taiwan Province province. Dopod is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HTC, and dopod is its own brand. Generally speaking, dopod's owner is HTC, which is responsible for operating dopod in China. HTC is an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) manufacturer in Taiwan Province Province, China, which designs its own products and brands other brands. HTC is mainly OEM, making customized mobile phones for major operators in Europe and America, and its products are not sold to the outside world. HTC owns two companies, dopod and dopod International. In order to make its two "dopod" survive in the fierce competition, HTC has also taken some powerful protective measures against them. Dopod's factory in Wuhan mainly focuses on parts, and the main parts of the machine are mainly purchased from home. The home here is naturally HTC. In fact, from design to production, HTC is responsible for most of them. This also explains why we often mention HTC in some comments. In fact, HTC XXX is the original model. Because it is customized for different operators, the name of the model that eventually goes to the operator is different. For a simple example, we usually say that the original models of dopod D900 and HTC are universal, while the customized model of O2 is XDA Exec, the customized model of T-Mobile is MDA IV, and the orange version is SPV M5000. Although the name is different in the end, it is actually the same thing. In addition, on the same basis, HTC will make minor adjustments according to the requirements of operators, such as configuration adjustment and design adjustment. A typical example is dopod 838. The Vodafone version has a square shell, while the T-Mbolie version is somewhat streamlined. In the eyes of many people, dopod's PPC smart phone is very awesome. In fact, it is not a dopod cow, but its owner, HTC. In fact, there are not many manufacturers of PPC and PDA in the world. 70% of the global smartphones using Windows Mobile (including PPC and Smartphone) come from Taiwan Province Province, mainly HTC and Shenda. They all started OEM from the iPAQ era and mastered some technologies. HTC was authorized by Microsoft Windows CE at the beginning of its establishment, and then exhibited the world's first WIN CE handheld computer at the CES exhibition in the United States, which was highly recognized by Microsoft, and the cooperation between the two was further strengthened. Now HTC is the main customer of Windows Mobile, monopolizing 80% of the market share of Windows mobile phones. As mentioned above, HTC is an ODM (original design manufacturer, designing its own products and other brands) manufacturer, specializing in the production of branded smartphones for European operators. We often have French orange, British O2, German T-Mobile and so on. But in fact, HTC customers are far more than those mentioned above. In addition to smart phones, HTC also produces mainstream PDA products, such as HP IPAQ series, Compaq, plam, Dell, Fujitsu-Siemens, etc. These products are also produced by HTC. Parallel windows mobile phones sell well in China. Why? Because the price is cheap and the quantity is sufficient, imagine that there are only a few people who can afford a few thousand yuan or even ten thousand yuan of smart phones in China, and the price of parallel smart phones around 2000-3000 yuan is more attractive and affordable, after all, this price is still affordable for many people. It should be said that there is a hidden rule in China that people who buy smart phones from dopod generally choose parallel imports. So how many parallel mobile phones does China need to supply the China market? These parallel mobile phones are all owned by foreign operators. Operators don't sell their customized mobile phones abroad, but come to China to sell them? In fact, this is related to foreign sales methods. After signing a network use agreement with an operator abroad, the operator will give you a mobile phone. Of course, this will depend on the package you choose. The more expensive the packaging, the better the machine. Then the mobile phone given by this operator has a probation period, which is generally 14 days, which is two weeks. If you are not satisfied with this mobile phone during this period, you can return it to the operator or replace it with a mobile phone that you think is satisfactory. Other people's second-hand mobile phones can't be sold any more, so they can only be handled at a low price. This kind of machine is generally called 14 in the domestic parallel market. Its color is almost brand-new and it can be sold as a new one, but the price is much cheaper than the new one. After all, it is a machine processed by the operator. Dopod mobile phones sold in parallel in China are generally of this type 14, and few are brand-new, so this type 14 will also be defined as brand-new mobile phones in parallel market, otherwise, how can the price be so cheap? In fact, this kind of parallel mobile phone has a great impact on licensed mobile phones in dopod, and dopod also hates it very much, because these mobile phones are sold at half price, and many people buy parallel mobile phones in dopod instead of regular licensed mobile phones. In fact, at present, many parallel mobile phones in dopod are not licensed in China, which means that dopod sells only a part of HTC products, and more new machines are sold to Europe and America. From dopod to HTC, and from HTC to "Double dopod". HTC, the boss behind dopod, is the world's largest OEM manufacturer of windows mobile smartphones, monopolizing 80% of the market share of windows phones, and doing OEM mobile phones for many telecom operators around the world, with business all over the world. I believe that after reading this article, many people will have a very deep understanding of dopod and HTC. Some people may be completely dizzy after reading it, and they don't know who is who. Let's simplify the complicated things. The main points of this paper are as follows: 1. The relationship between dopod and HTC: dopod is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HTC. Second, the relationship between HTC and dopod: HTC has two dopod, one is dopod International Co., Ltd. and the other is dopod Communication Co., Ltd., dopod International Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Taiwan Province Province and its factory is in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province Province; Dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Shanghai and its factory is in Wuhan. Third, HTC is the world's largest OEM manufacturer of windows mobile smartphones, monopolizing 80% of the market share, providing OEM smartphone services for major telecom operators in Europe and America, including all-round services from design to production. Only the operator's LOGO will appear on the final product, not the LOGO of dopod or HTC, but the products sold in dopod all have the LOGO of "dopod". Fourth, HTC is not only the OEM of smart phones, but also the largest PDA OEM in the world. Most of the PDA of HP, plam and Dell come from HTC. 5.HTC provides customized mobile phones for major telecom operators. Under the condition that the general functions are basically unchanged, the configuration or appearance will be modified according to the requirements of operators to meet different needs. 6. Knowing HTC and its operation mode, the cooperative relationship with foreign operators and the sales mode of foreign operators, you can naturally understand why there are so many customized versions of windows mobile smartphones in China. In fact, these machines are all made by HTC.
