They're all Samsung phones and they're just a portion of Samsung's 2020 line up.

它們都是三星手機，而且只是三星2020年產品線中的一部分。

This is just the flagships.

這只是旗艦產品。

And they're just the ones that Samsung is releasing in the US It is the galaxy s 20.

而這些只是三星在美國發布的是galaxy s 20。

Yes, 20 plus 30 s, 20 ultra s 20 Fan edition, the note 20 and the note 20 ultra.

是的，20加30s，20超s 20範版，note20和note20超。

That is six phones and it doesn't even count phones like this thing right here.

那是六部手機，還沒算上像這裡這樣的手機。

This is the A 51.

這就是A 51。

Samsung's pushing this in the US now, too.

三星現在在美國也在推這個。

There's also the A 51 5 g a 75 g.

還有A 51 5克一75克。

Oh, yeah, there's folding phones to there's the Z fold to in the Z flip five g.

哦，對了，有摺疊手機到有Z摺疊到在Z翻轉五克。

It's kind of impossible to keep track.

這是種不可能的跟蹤。

So here's a question.

所以，這裡有一個問題。

Why does Samsung make so damn many phones now?

為什麼三星現在做了這麼多該死的手機？

The reason this question matters to me is I just got finished reviewing a couple of Samsung.

這個問題之所以對我很重要，是因為我剛剛評測完幾款三星。

Father reviewed the Galaxy note 20 which is overpriced of 1000 bucks for what you get out of it.

父親評測了Galaxy note 20，它的價格過高，達到了1000塊錢，而你得到的卻是。

And then I also reviewed the galaxy s 20 note the galaxy s 20 F e the fan edition, which is a great value for the price.

然後我還評測了galaxy s 20 note the galaxy s 20 F e the fan edition，這款產品性價比很高。

It's 6 99.

這是699。

It's a plastic back shirt, but you get 120 hertz screen.

雖說是塑膠背衫，但卻有120赫茲的螢幕。

You get three pretty good, Samsung told megapixel cameras.

你得到三個相當不錯的，三星告訴百萬像素相機。

It feels kind of like the whole package, but it also feels like a package that's a little bit more like a beefed up a Siri's phone than a tone down s Siri's phone.

感覺有點像整套方案，但也感覺是一個有點像加強版的Siri的手機，而不是調低版的Siri的手機。

And it sends me into thinking about philosophical experiments like this ship of thesis.

而這讓我陷入了對哲學實驗的思考，比如這艘論文的船。

It's this thought experiment where you've got a boat and the master breaks.

這就是這個思想實驗，你有一條船，主人壞了。

So you replace the mast.

所以你要更換桅杆。

Is it still the same boat?

還是那條船嗎？

Well, then the keel breaks in your place.

好吧，那麼龍骨就在你這裡斷了。

Akil, is it still the same boat?

阿基爾，還是那條船嗎？

If you replaced literally every single plank and rope on that boat at the end of it, when you replace the last part, is it still the same boat you started with?

如果你把那條船最後的每一塊木板和繩子都換掉，當你換掉最後一個零件時，它還是你開始時的那條船嗎？

E don't know.

我不知道

Well, okay, apply that to this s 20 f e.

好吧，好吧，把它應用到這個S20 F E。

If you get rid of the s 20 screen and go with the screen, that's a little more like a Siri's.

如果你把s 20螢幕去掉，用螢幕，那就更像Siri的了。

It's still in s phone.

它還在S手機裡。

If you get rid of the fancy camera module on both the more basic camera module.

如果你把花哨的攝像頭模塊上的兩個比較基本的攝像頭模塊都去掉。

Is it still in s phone?

它還在S手機裡嗎？

If you replace everything but basically the processor with slightly less expensive parts, does it still count as an s phone?

如果除了處理器外，其他的都換成價格稍低的零件，還能算作s手機嗎？

Sure, Samsung decided to call it a nest phone.

當然，三星決定將其稱為巢手機。

What we actually should do, instead of just noodling on bad philosophical thought experiments, is actually try to categorize these phones.

其實我們應該做的，不是一味地在糟糕的哲學思想實驗上胡思亂想，而是真正嘗試對這些手機進行分類。

So there's a few different ways we could do it.

所以我們有幾種不同的方法可以做。

Now.

現在就去

One way to do this categorization thing is just by screen size.

歸類這件事，有一種方法就是按螢幕大小來做。

It's no longer the case that bigger screen means better phone.

現在已經不是螢幕越大就代表手機越好的情況了。

But in theory, you should build a look at the screen size and have a pretty good guess of which phone it is.

但理論上，你應該建看一下螢幕尺寸，就能很好的猜到是哪款手機。

Okay, but you just can't.

好吧，但你就是不能。

We're gonna play a game.

我們要玩個遊戲

I'm gonna put two phones down and set a timer and then see if you can guess which Samsung model it is by the time the timer runs out.

我要把兩部手機放下來，然後設置一個計時器，然後看你能不能在計時器耗盡的時候猜出是哪款三星手機。

How'd you dio?

你是怎麼做到的？

That's not that easy, right?

沒那麼容易吧？

I mean, I reviewed every single one of these six phones, and it's not easy for me.

我的意思是，我對這六款手機的每一款都進行了評測，這對我來說並不容易。

And if we find other ways to try and categorize them on other specs.

而如果我們找到其他的方法，嘗試在其他規格上進行分類。

Besides screens, it gets even more complicated.

除了螢幕，它變得更加複雜。

I mean, trust me if we tried to make a spreadsheet of all the camera specs and differences in storage and RAM and so on across all of these phones, you need like a 50 inch monitor just to get a look at the spreadsheet.

我的意思是，相信我，如果我們試圖使所有的相機規格和差異的存儲和RAM等跨所有這些手機的電子表格，你需要像一個50英寸的顯示器只是為了得到一個看在電子表格。

So I don't think it's specs or screen size.

所以我覺得不是規格和螢幕尺寸的問題。

There must be some other way to characterize all these phones and make sense of them, and I think it's like a high level product category kind of thing.

一定有其他的方法來描述這些手機的特點，讓它們變得更有意義，我認為這就像一個高層次的產品類別的那種東西。

At the very top of Samsung's product hierarchy are the folding phones, the Z fold to five G in the Z flip five g, these air Samsung's high technology show off phones.

在三星的產品體系中，最頂級的是摺疊手機，Z摺疊到五G中的Z翻轉五G，這些空中三星的高技術炫耀手機。

Then there are the ultras, these air like a new tier of flagship for Samsung, and it's where they put their most expensive, most experimental features.

還有就是超極本，這些空氣就像三星的新層級旗艦，他們把最昂貴、最實驗性的功能放在這裡。

That stuff used to go to the note, but now it goes to the ultras.

這些東西以前都是記在紙條上的，但現在卻記在了超聲上。

Then there's the regular flagships, the S 20 and the S 20 plus.

還有就是常規的旗艦機，S 20和S 20 plus。

Samsung says that early buyers go for the ultras and then later buyers go for the regular ones.

三星表示，早期的買家會去買超音波，後來的買家會去買普通的。

Now the note.

現在的筆記。

20 should fit in with those.

20應該符合這些。

But again, I think the note 20 is kind of overpriced, and the screen is underpowered for to pay for it.

但我又覺得note 20的價格有點高，而且螢幕也不夠給力，不適合為它買單。

It honestly feels more like a fan edition phone.

說實話，感覺更像是一款粉絲版手機。

So it fits in this new mid range with the galaxy s 20 f B, which is 700 bucks.

所以，它適合在這個新的中檔與galaxy s 20 f B，這是700元。

Then you've got a serious phones which hits like every conceivable price point on down toe.

然後，你已經得到了一個嚴重的手機，它打像每一個可以想象的價位上向下的腳趾。

I don't know, 100 bucks or something.

我不知道，100塊錢什麼的。

As a product categorization strategy.

作為一種產品分類策略。

This is kind of a mess.

這是一種混亂。

I mean, it makes sense when I explain it to myself, but I also can't help but feel like I just made it up myself.

我的意思是，當我向自己解釋時，它是有道理的，但我也不禁覺得是我自己編的。

And in reality, I think there's a much simpler explanation.

而實際上，我認為有一個更簡單的解釋。

Its price, and actually this is kind of inside baseball, but I try not to watch too many other review videos before I do my own.

它的價格，其實這也算是棒球裡面的一種，但是我在做自己的評測視頻之前，儘量不要看太多其他的評測視頻。

So after we finished this video, I want to go check out what Marquez Brownlee had to say about the galaxy s 20 f E.

所以在我們看完這段視頻後，我想去看看馬奎斯-布朗利對銀河系20英尺E的看法。

And it turned out that he makes ah lot of the same points in his video, so shout out to a great minds think alike and I will link his video down in the description below.

而事實證明，他在視頻中也提出了啊同樣的觀點，所以喊出了一個偉大的思想相同，我會在下面的描述中把他的視頻鏈接下來。

Let's take a look at the prices that Samsung charges for its five G phones in the US We're just gonna look at base prices, keep it simple.

我們來看看三星在美國五款G手機的價格 我們只看基本價格，簡單點。

And we're also going to round up a penny because ending a price in 99 cents is stupid.

而我們也要四捨五入，因為以99分結尾的價格是愚蠢的。

So here we go.

所以在這裡，我們去。

All right.

好吧，我知道了

The Z fold two is 2000 bucks.

Z折二是2000塊錢。

Then there is easy flip five g for 14.

然後就是輕鬆翻轉五克為14。

50.

50.

The note 20 ultra is also 14 50.

note 20 ultra也是14 50。

The S 20 ultra is 1403 es, 20 plus is 1200 the S 20 and the note 20 are each $1000.

S 20 ultra是1403 es，20 plus是1200 S 20和note 20各1000元。

The S 20 f is $700 A 71 5 g is 6 50 a 51 5 g is 500.

S 20 f是700元 A 71 5 g是6 50 a 51 5 g是500。

I think that that price breakdown really is the best explanation for why Samsung makes so many variants of its flagship phones.

我想，這個價格分類確實是三星為什麼要做這麼多變種旗艦手機的最好解釋。

It means that when you go to buy a phone, Samsung has won at the price that you want to spend and Justus Importantly, it has one that's competitive with whatever other phone you might have been thinking of buying iPhone pixel 51 plus whatever.

這意味著，當你去買手機時，三星已經贏在了你想花的價格上，Justus重要的是，它有一個與你可能一直在考慮購買iPhone pixel 51 plus什麼的其他手機的競爭力。

There's always a Samsung phone that's just a little bit cheaper right next to it.

總有一款三星手機就在旁邊便宜一點。

Or there's one that's a little bit more expensive, but with better specs Now, looking at that price breakdown if you don't count the Z full to the biggest gap in this whole lineup is just 300 bucks, and I personally think it should actually be smaller than that because the note 20 shipping price at 100 bucks.

或者還有一款價格更貴一點，但是規格更好的 現在看這個價格明細如果不算Z全到這整個產品線最大的差距也就300塊錢，我個人認為其實應該比這個小，因為note20的出貨價格在100塊錢。

But that's another story.

但這是另一個故事。

The other thing to think about with all these prices is that their launch day prices all of these phones end up getting discounted.

這些價格還需要考慮的是，他們發佈會當天的價格所有這些手機最後都會打折。

Carriers offer two for one deals or huge incentives to trade up.

運營商提供二選一的優惠，或者是鉅額的優惠政策來換取。

Or sometimes the price just drops and often really, really quickly after launch.

或者有時候價格就這麼降了，而且往往真的很快就推出去了。

One of the big trends this year is that everybody wants to offer new phones at all of the price points instead of just having consumers by the older model.

今年的一個大趨勢是，大家都希望在所有價位上提供新的手機，而不是隻讓消費者按老款來購買。

Apples actually rumored to be doing something like that with the next iPhone, and it's already done it with the Apple Watch SC.

其實傳聞蘋果會在下一款iPhone上做這樣的事情，而且它已經在Apple Watch SC上做了。

But really, Samsung has led the way with this strategy.

但實際上，三星的這一戰略已經領先了。

It has been doing it for years, and the truth is that with maybe one galaxy note 20 exception.

它已經做了很多年，事實是，也許有一個galaxy note 20例外。

All of these phones are really good for their price, especially if you can find one of those really easy to find discounts.

所有這些手機的價格都非常好，特別是如果你能找到那些真正容易找到的折扣。

So why does Samsung make so many phones?

那麼三星為什麼要做這麼多手機呢？

Because it's really good at mixing and matching parts to hit every conceivable price point.

因為它真的很擅長混搭零件，打出各種可以想象的價位。

Basically, Samsung makes this many phones because it can, and it doesn't care if there's a clearly differentiated line of easily distinguished product categories.

基本上，三星之所以做這麼多手機，是因為它能做，而且它不在乎是否有一條清晰的、容易區分的產品類別。

Samsung just wants to sell you a phone at any price.

三星就是想把手機賣給你，什麼價格都可以。

I know.

我知道，我知道

Yeah, okay.

是啊，好吧。

Uh huh.

嗯哼。

Let's just take a breath.

讓我們深吸一口氣。

Everybody, thanks so much for watching.

各位，非常感謝大家的觀看。

Let me know.

讓我知道。

Did we figure out the right way to categorize all of these phones?

我們找出了對這些手機的正確分類方法了嗎？
