864. Gaming phones

The picture is not bad, the points that Zhou Fangyuan said before have basically been made.

The characters are a little Q, the picture is more delicate and exquisite, and the colors are bright and bright...... Basically, it meets Zhou Fangyuan's requirements.

The specific game hasn't been taken out yet, and it's expected to wait for a year later, and it's still in the final stages of development, but it doesn't matter, Zhou Fangyuan can still afford to wait for this time.

"In addition, Dong Zhou, this is what Engineer Andy specially instructed me to hand over to you. ”

The assistant said, and took out another device that resembled a mobile phone.

This is an e-reader, which is specially made within the Yuanfang Group, using the most advanced fingerprint iris double electronic lock, and a special password must be entered after opening. What can be transmitted with this small e-reader is basically the company's internal information with a high level of confidentiality, in other words, if this thing is lost, the consequences are unimaginable. To put it simply, the next generation of products of Yuanfang Group may be leaked in advance, and to put it more simply, it is not impossible to be directly targeted by other consortiums.

But now this reader is passed from Andy's side, and I think it should have nothing to do with the group's top management, and it should still be related to the Android system, or the products of smartphones.

Opening the reader, Zhou Fangyuan flipped through it, and sure enough, inside was Andy's plan for a new generation of mobile phones, including super-large screen smartphones, tablets, foldable phones, smart watches, game-specific mobile phones and other suggestions for future products...... This is the result of Andy's nearly a year at the helm of the Yuanfang Science and Technology Research Institute. Yes, the Yuanfang Science and Technology Research Institute has been established, which is more than 100 kilometers around Beitong City, in Kaiyun County, where Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother is the hometown. Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother, originally from Kaiyun County, was introduced by a matchmaker when she was young, met and married Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather, and then married to the surrounding areas of the city.

In Kaiyun County, Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother is still a local family, speaking of which, Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's family was also quite powerful back then. It's just that it finally declined for various reasons, but grandma's family is not bad, and it is a fairly large family in the local area. These things, Heavy Burden Ang Yuan didn't know in his previous life, and he didn't blame him, the main thing was that no one told him this. Even Zhou Fangyuan's mother didn't know these things, and grandma rarely told them about the old man's mother's family.

But in this life, with the rise of Zhou Fangyuan, the Zhou family rose rapidly in Beitong City, so these relatives in the corners came out in one fell swoop.

At best, it's called the integration of resources.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan didn't mind integrating the forces on his grandmother's side, he wouldn't let them enter the Yuanfang Group, but he could find a way out for them, and then the two sides would cooperate.

Are there any powerful industries in Kering County?

To put it simply, no.

But this is not entirely correct, at least, Kering County is the best yellow flower planting base in China, and the yellow flower of Kaiyun County is also a direct tribute in ancient times, and the common people could not see it at that time. There are also good hot springs in Kaiyun County, and there are actually a lot of hot springs around Beitong City, but most of the places are not easy to develop, and there are only a few places that are easy to develop. Grandma's mother's family, since it is quite powerful in the local area, it is actually a good choice for them to use an area that is relatively accessible to land-sitting households, such as hot spring development.

At the same time, because of such a relationship, Zhou Fangyuan simply put the Yuanfang Science and Technology Research Institute directly in Kering County.

Beitong City is not here, the development of Beitong City has been a little fast in the past two years, and more and more foreign populations are appearing in this city. And Andy himself asked to find a quiet place that was not easy to be disturbed by the outside world, and Zhou Fangyuan also fulfilled his wishes, so he put the research institute in Kering County.

Six months of infrastructure construction, four months of renovation, last month, Andy and they just moved in, and it is estimated that the internal space has been put in order, so they immediately came up with several plans.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at it, to be honest, these things have room for development, especially tablets, smart watches, and game-specific mobile phones are also good, but giant screen mobile phones and foldable mobile phones are meaningless, he drew an equal sign on these two items, which means to wait and see. Andy is now half a Huaxia Tong, and he can understand these meanings.

Turning off the reader and changing it to the assistant again, Zhou Fangyuan leaned on the back of the car, looking at the street scene outside, and his thoughts involuntarily and naturally spread.

Actually, gaming phones are good.

Gaming phones, as the name suggests, are mobile phones that combine the functions of ordinary mobile phones and are specially designed and manufactured for running games, generally have their own operating system and exclusive games, and are integrated or equipped with game buttons or handles, and their software and hardware are optimized for running games, similar to handheld game consoles, but classified as mobile phones. To put it simply, the game mobile phone is a new thing born from the mobile phone and the handheld, inheriting the call characteristics of the father's mobile phone, and carrying the game gene of the mother's handheld, but its essence is still a mobile phone.

In fact, gaming phones are not a new thing for a long time.

On October 7, 2003, the world's first dedicated smart mobile gaming terminal finally entered the stage of global simultaneous release, which was the N-Gage produced by Nokia. Despite the wave of criticism from the day the N-Gage was born, there is no doubt that the N-Gage is blazing a new path, although from the very beginning, the N-Gage did not sell well.

At the time, Nokia was the leader of the mobile phone market, and its actions were enough to influence the direction of the world's mobile phone industry, but on the other hand, the launch of N-Gage was a bold attempt for the burgeoning mobile game industry, and whether it succeeded or failed, it also had a significant impact on the future of mobile gaming. N-Gage is more than just a mobile phone, it represents a new mode of mobile gaming. People should be familiar with N-Gage, and even as early as May 14-16, 2002, Nokia exhibited the N-Gage at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, which attracted a lot of media attention.

N-Gage has changed the traditional perception that mobile phones are not suitable for gaming, and its gaming performance is on par with Nintendo's GameBoy, and thanks to the built-in Bluetooth chip, mobile users can freely play online games within 10 meters, and N-Gage can also allow users to play online games through mobile networks. Nokia announced the official launch of the Chinese version of the N-Gage mobile game service platform. Domestic players can log in to the N-Gage mobile game service Chinese website to download and experience a variety of the latest N-Gage mobile games.

In addition, a smart gaming phone launched by NOKIA in 2004 is an improved model of N-Gage based on the famous S60 system. The N-Gage QD has redesigned the look and feel of the phone to make it more responsive to mobile games. In addition, the length of the phone has been reduced from 133.7mm to 118mm, and the thickness has been increased compared to the past. In addition, the QD weighs 143 grams, which is also heavier than the N-Gage's 134 grams. Of course, the improvement of N-Gage QD in terms of ease of use and userization is still relatively obvious, especially the mobile phone has improved the card insertion mode, supports the hot-swap mode, and also supports the game auto-start and OK key game start mode.

NG is even the world's first mobile phone dedicated to gaming.

Then there is a 3D non-smart flip game phone called KV3600 released by LG in the previous life, with dual screens and dual keyboards, the inner screen resolution reaches the QVGA (240×320) level, and it has a 1.3 million pixel camera with MP3 playback function. KV3600 uses ATI's w2320 processing chip, and the polygon drawing generation rate is nearly 5 times higher than that of mobile phones of the same period, claiming to be the world's fastest 3D gaming mobile phone in 2005.

In previous lives, there were many, many more mobile phones like this, so I won't give examples here.

After entering the era of smart phones, the concept of the earliest game mobile phone in China was proposed by a certain east.

In 17 years, a certain east released the standard of game mobile phones, which can meet the operation needs of mainstream mobile games and e-sports, and have targeted optimization or design of user experience, which is the first mobile phone category customized by Chinese consumers. At that time, the scale of mobile game users in China had reached 523 million, which meant that more than 1/3 of Chinese people were playing mobile games, and the game mobile phone industry was booming. Especially with the birth of phenomenal mobile games such as "Onmyoji" and "Glory of Kings", the mobile game market has ushered in a real explosive period.

However, in the market at that time, there was no special "game mobile phone", and the mobile phone could naturally play games, but the mobile phone was more inclined to daily comprehensive use. Gamers clearly want to go a step further and "esports-grade" phones dedicated to gaming.

Therefore, at that time, a certain east integrated the R&D and production capacity of mobile phone brands, the supply capacity of industrial chain manufacturers, the game R&D capabilities of game companies, the upstream chip technology capabilities of telecom operators, and the data research capabilities of data agencies, and jointly formulated them with China's Quality Monitoring Center and the Research Institute under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The benefits of this are, of course, enormous.

For users, the selection criteria for an "e-sports mobile phone" are defined to improve the integrated mobile game experience; for the industry, a certain east launched the first mobile phone category customized by Chinese consumers to build a game ecosystem; for brand owners, a certain east big data user portrait to build an information bridge between brands and users, promote reverse customization, improve production and operation efficiency; for the society, it will realize the reshaping of the smart supply chain and promote "production by sales" , and then promote the transformation and optimization of the traditional supply chain, and contribute to the adjustment of supply and demand structure.

All in all, the benefits are enormous.

Now, Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth has certainly changed the world, but some things will not change. For example, the advent of gaming mobile phones, only this time the people who came up with this concept became Andy's team.

This doesn't matter, smartphones have developed to a certain extent, and gaming phones are bound to appear.

As I have said more than once, the development of smart phones has greatly improved the utilization rate of fragmented time by human beings, and mobile phones are light and fast, and you can play anytime and anywhere, which is something that neither PC nor computer games can do.

In fact, with the development of smartphones, after reaching a certain level, further segmentation is inevitable.

At present, there are many types of smart phones, such as "music phones" with built-in HiFi chips, and "camera phones" that add large lenses specifically for taking pictures.

As the mobile gaming industry becomes more and more developed, it is only a matter of time before "gaming phones" that emphasize performance and gameplay appear.

If a flagship mobile phone with full function and performance is an undergraduate, then a junior college student who is more focused on the development of a certain direction like music, photography, and game mobile phones. Although the configuration of flagship phones is also top-notch, gaming phones focus more on the development of hardware optimization and software functions for games, making them take the gaming experience to the next level. In short, the relationship between flagship mobile phones and gaming mobile phones can be understood as: flagship mobile phones are responsible for easy use, and gaming mobile phones are responsible for fun. However, under the overall situation of the multi-directional development of smartphones, from the perspective of ordinary consumers, do we really need a mobile phone specially designed for "playing games"?

Just like NG back then.

However, although NG's game concept is good, its essence is still mobile phones. Although Nokia's concept was quite advanced, limited by the design of the time, the NG gaming experience was not as perfect as it was ideal: the feel of the buttons on the hard board, the abandonment of the configuration of the camera, and the cumbersome way of changing the cassette all greatly reduced the experience of players. But none of the above is the main reason for stifling NG's future, the most fatal thing is the content and price, although Nokia has gotten the enterprise cooperation between EA and Gameloft, but this does not mean that NG has a bright future.

Some players who have bought NG said that the game on this mobile phone is like an enhanced version of the mobile game, and it is mainly concentrated in EA and Gameloft, although there are many but few good works. In addition, cracking work was on the rise at that time, and cracking mobile games were flooding the Internet, and more users would rather choose free games than mobile phones customized for games.

Therefore, even if Nokia launches NGQD with a new design and N-Gage 2.0 online game platform concept in the later stage, it will not be able to save Nokia's broken gaming phone dream in the end. But Nokia's dream of gaming mobile phones is shattered, it doesn't mean that this dream can't be done, at least in the future that Zhou Fangyuan has experienced, gaming mobile phones have become the choice of many young people when buying mobile phones. And the game phone is not that it is not easy to use for daily use, it can only be said that he is better at playing games and can be used daily, but it is definitely not as convenient as those mobile phones that are good at daily use...... But the problem is, even e-sports has become legal, and the state has begun to support it, isn't it reasonable and legal to buy a special mobile phone specifically for the sake of gaming?

Andy has a very good foresight, which is a good thing, since he proposed it, Zhou Fangyuan certainly supports it.

This market is too big, there are thousands of types of customers, you can't guarantee that all customers are the same, in fact, customers can't be exactly the same. As long as there are differences between customers, personalized customization is valuable, and game phones are compared with ordinary mobile phones, even if they are specially customized, they naturally have their way out.
