On April 15th, at the Smart World S7 conference, Yu Chengdong remarked that the reason for using a phone holder is the inadequacy of in-car navigation systems.

He joked, "At first, I didn't understand why some cars still need to be equipped with phone holders, but later I realized that it's because their in-car navigation functions are not powerful enough and need to rely on phone navigation."

This statement won enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience, and the PowerPoint presentation on site also displayed "Strong heart, no need for a holder." s_3ec0a4028533444bb58d7f2a9ce9fa88.jpg Subsequently, Lei Jun posted on Weibo, stating that Huawei's Yu Chengdong had teased the design of Xiaomi's SU7 original phone stand at their press conference, initiating a poll: "Do you support having an original phone stand in the car? Why do you think we should make an original phone stand?"

This sparked intense discussions among netizens and within the industry, highlighting the fierce competition in China's new energy vehicle industry.

Yu Chengdong reposted on his own Moments, stating, "When Lei mentioned the phone stand during the SU7 launch, I believe domestically produced smart electric vehicles' in-car navigation systems will have no issues. Xiaomi originates from smart phones, so there should be no problem with in-car navigation."

He believes that the real issue lies with some international smart electric vehicle brands and traditional fuel vehicles, while the SmartEdge S7 does not require a phone stand and offers excellent navigation experience. Mobile apps can be fully integrated into the in-car display through the super terminal, making it very convenient.

He emphasized that Xiaomi's entry into the automotive industry will bring more vitality, and he believes that with everyone's efforts, China's smart electric vehicles will be better tomorrow.

This topic also highlights the beginning of Lei Jun and Yu Chengdong's second transformation, with expectations for increased friction in the automotive industry. s_aab65ab6db26416b8eaa65cfee235db0.jpg
