In a single flagship store in London, a group of journalist partners were going to the offline store. The hot shopping scene in front of them also surprised them, but they were not shocked.

"sure."

The young man named Barrett nodded happily, not at all timid when facing the camera.

Reporter: "How much did the equipment you purchased cost?"

Barrett: "I bought two, a 4GB model for €499, which I helped my friend snap up, and a 16GB model for myself for €699, for a total of €1198."

Reporter: "Are you satisfied with the price of Azure-X?"

Barrett: "Honestly, I'm not happy with the price, it's really too expensive for me as a less wealthy person."

Reporter: "Why do you still buy a product that is not satisfied with the price?"

After hearing the reporter's question, Barrett pondered for a moment and then said: "Because I really like this phone, although in my eyes it still has some flaws and the price is super expensive, I paid attention to the AOS developer conference, but I didn't wait for AOS2.0 at all, you don't need new hardware to fall in love with Azure-X, because AOS1.0 is enough, wait until the software is updated...how to say it's hard to describe in words emmm..."

With a tangled face, Barrett suddenly had an inspiration and immediately said: "Let's put it this way, when I first met Azure-X, it was like a teenager who met the first "Playboy" in his life, yes, it was This feeling, this is the sexiest tech product I've ever seen, it's not too nice~~"

reporter:"……"

After a while, the reporter who interviewed him gave him an embarrassed yet elegant smile, and quickly passed the topic and asked again: "What's your opinion on the experience of Azure-X?"

Barrett replied without thinking: "I think one of the biggest technical achievements of Azure-X is that users can easily swipe content by touching the screen with their fingers. The first experience of touching the screen is wonderful, the high-resolution screen is gorgeous , Helvetica has never looked so good on screen. Everything is super fast and responsive."

Barrett hurriedly added: "When you drag something, whether it's a swipe to unlock your phone, or a zoomed-in photo or web page, the action of dragging follows your fingertips, so far I haven't found Azure-X in the UI. Which element of the interface doesn't make people feel super happy, and it's all true, that matters!"

The interview came to an end soon, and the reporter from BBC caught a few consumers for a brief interview, all of which were well received.

"Clyde, have you sent the interview video back? How many of the recorded content are negative reviews? Upload all negative reviews online."

"I see... oh, it's unbelievable, it's all rave reviews, rave reviews."

"What? Not a single bad review?"

"It's like this, if you don't believe me, come and see."

"Damn it, what's an international joke? Did the frontline reporter secretly collect Luo Sheng's money? Hurry up and find some nurses. I want bad reviews, preferably long reviews, understand?"

"This...is this really good?"

"I am the editor-in-chief and I have the final say. I have to do things when I receive money. This is the basic professional ethics, OK?"

"Okay..."
