Wang Teng returned to the stage with a smile and began to speak. ”Our next new product is the Moss Smart Speaker 2.0. Like the Qingcheng D2, Orange C3S, and Yaocheng X1, it comes equipped with the latest version of the Moss Intelligent Voice Assistant. As for its design, please look at the big screen!”

With that, he silently pressed a button on his controller, and a high-definition image of the Moss M7 Smart Speaker appeared on the screen.

Compared to the first generation, the Moss M7 had changed drastically. Its cylindrical shape was replaced with an L-shaped design, featuring a seven-inch touchscreen on the front with the speaker located below it.

It had a rich built-in application ecosystem, including music, videos, and audiobooks, and came with a five-megapixel front-facing camera that could be used for video calls with other users.

Anyone, from the elderly to children, could use simple wake words to command the Moss M7 to play movies, music, and radio.

It was no exaggeration to call it a leap-forward upgrade!

The Moss M7 was priced at 999 Hua Yuan!

Next, Wang Teng introduced the Alexa A7 Smart Speaker. Aside from the application ecosystem, there were no significant hardware differences between the two.

The Alexa A7 was priced at 269 US dollars, only 70 US dollars more than the first generation, yet the user experience was several levels better.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that once the Moss M7 and Alexa A7 hit the market, the 1.0 version of the smart speakers would most likely be phased out, becoming an ignored product eventually swept into the dustbin.

Furthermore, Wang Teng also took the opportunity at the conference to explain for the first time why the Alexa A7 was priced higher than the Moss M7.

In short, due to the exorbitant app licensing fees in the North American Region, the price of the Alexa A7 had to be increased for cost reasons.

The implication was clear: it wasn’t Orange Technology trying to rip you off; it was your own local app developers who were to blame.

And with that, the two-and-a-half-hour new product launch finally came to a close.

Wang Teng then held a live drawing for 400 lucky audience members, giving away 100 Qingcheng D2s, 100 Orange C3Ss, 100 Yaocheng X1s, and 100 Moss M7s.

The moment he stepped off the stage, he was swarmed by a crowd of media representatives from all over the country.

”President Wang, why wasn’t an Aurora OS version of the Yaocheng X1 released? Does Orange Technology plan to stop iterating on the Aurora OS?”
