Chapter 768: Fans
On the high-speed train from Jiangcheng to Anshi, Xu Jun was happily brushing the goose station.
He uses the 4G version of the hyacinth card, and has opened a directional traffic package specifically for Ai Tucao and Swan Live Broadcast, even if it is not a real unlimited traffic card, it is basically enough.
In Egret Island, there are free IFIs everywhere he goes these days, which has helped him save a lot of traffic. However, the directional package is cleared by default, and the inexhaustible traffic cannot be saved to be used in the future, so he simply stayed on the train at this time and had nothing to do, so he simply took out his mobile phone and started the Internet.
Thanks to the frequent complaints of users across the country, the three major operators have increased the density of base stations along the high-speed rail, so the experience of using 4G Internet access on the high-speed rail is much better. The networks of virtual operators are all rented, and the network quality and "home" are completely consistent, so they can naturally enjoy this part of the dividend.
Of course, even if the base station becomes denser, if the mobile phone is not specially optimized for the characteristics of the high-speed mobile phone and frequent switching of the base station, especially to improve the way of searching the network, there will still be some annoying little problems. The mobile phone I used before I came had such a problem, and it was uncomfortable to watch videos and play games. So after arriving at Egret Island, Lao Xu decisively sold it to Bee for recycling, and then bought a 4G version of BP7 at a higher price, and by the way, he also signed a name with Atletico Madrid.
It's not that he chases stars much, but he thinks this is of great commemorative significance and worthy of autograph collection, after all, this is the first bee mobile phone to use bee's own baseband.
The baseband research of bees began very early, but due to insufficient technology accumulation, the product progress is one or two years behind the mainstream manufacturers. In order not to be dragged down, BP series mobile phones used third-party basebands from manufacturers such as Marvell, VIA and Qualcomm, but their own basebands were thrown into the feature phone market to play mob leveling.
It was not until now that the DAERDUO456, which supports 5 modes and 13 bands, is really mature and can be added to the Bee Heart 536 and applied to the full range of BP7 mobile phones.
It's just that because of the patent licensing, Big Ears does not support CDMA/2000, so the BP7 version of the full Netcom version also needs to be plugged in with a third-party baseband in order to truly realize the global access of the whole network. Bee's lack of high-profile promotion of "BP7 supports high-speed rail mode" may also have something to do with this, after all, it does not support high-speed rail mode when connecting to the telecom C network.
Because of more than 30 years of deep cultivation in this field, Qualcomm has accumulated a large number of technology patents with a market share of more than ninety, which allows Qualcomm to charge higher royalties for this function. Although it only accounts for about 1.5% of the price of mobile phones, this part of the patent cost still affects the product planning of mobile phone manufacturers, and then many users have the feeling that "once you enter the telecom, it is like the sea, and it is not easy to buy mobile phones from now on".
Not only the telecom is as deep as the sea, but also the users who use this kind of network abroad are also worried about the difficulty of buying mobile phones, which is actually more anxious than the user, and the trend of CDMA withdrawal and migration of users to 4GLTE around the world is happening.
In fact, from a technical point of view, it should be G-S-M that really needs to be withdrawn from the network, because the technology is outdated, the first generation of digital networks is plagued by fake base stations and copy cards, and security is very problematic, and CDMA from military technology is born with the advantage of confidentiality and difficult to be cracked. However, what is more embarrassing is that because of the earlier commercial use, the stock assets of G network in the world are also the largest, and at the same time, as a mature and expired technology, its maintenance and use cost is also the lowest, which makes operators want to stop it, but the knife that withdraws the network to eliminate and free up frequency band resources is first cut on the C network, which is not very backward.
The video stopped automatically after playing, Xu Jun was stunned for a moment and reacted, leaving a barrage of "After reading the commemorative 2016.06.11" to exit the playback interface, and said hello to the same seat next to him and went to the carriage bathroom, after watching the video for so long, the bladder said a little little pressure.
The title of the video he just watched was "The Truth About Hedy Rama, a beautiful scholar", ostensibly to cool down the popular "Rama myth" in the science and technology circle, but in fact, it was to sell popular science by taking advantage of the popularity of the topic of the first star in history. Then Xu Xiaojun was fooled, and together with hundreds of other netizens who entered the pit, followed the footsteps of the up master through history to learn more about the past and present life of radio communication technology.
Hedylamarr, an Austrian Jew, was a film actress active in the 30s and 40s. She was highly sought after by the tech community, calling her a great scientist and the mother of spread spectrum because she worked with composer Geeantheil in 1942 to design and patent an anti-jamming torpedo controlled by perforated paper tape that could automatically change the frequency of communication, and then donated it to the U.S. military.
However, the low performance of tube computers in the 40s could not achieve such complex coding patterns, and paper tape was not a reliable instruction carrier, so their invention was not of much practical value at the time.
It wasn't until the 50s that transistors began to be used, which made the performance of computers improve rapidly, and the communication idea of spread spectrum hopping really became a reality. Initially used for military communications, it was lifted in the 80s and evolved into today's CDMA civilian communications network, and the contributions of Heidi Lamarr and George Anthere were revealed.
As for the German-American composer Antyre, the avant-garde artist who valued machine rhythms and preferred to use pure machine sound as the material for his compositions, died early, missing out on the title of the father of spread spectrum. He died as early as 1959, when the CDMA was still a secret military technology, and with this buddy's aggressive personality, if he could survive until the 80s, he would definitely publish an autobiography and brag about it.
Happily, as people of the 20th century, the photographs of the two and their participating works have been relatively well preserved, so that later generations can avoid the trouble of imagining the portraits. Then the musician Antelle cups again, his black-and-white photos and his avant-garde music full of mechanical collision sounds, all of which are turned into scum in front of Heidi's film editing, as evidenced by the fact that Xu Jun can't remember what this guy looks like when he comes back from the bathroom.
Returning to his seat, he didn't continue to watch the video, but opened the backpack he was carrying with him and took out a mobile phone holder and a mobile phone case.
He attached the BP7 to the stand and clipped it to the armrest of the seat, reoriented the camera so that it was on his knees, and began to record video. After searching at the goose station just now, Xu Jun found that no one had released the unboxing video of the firefly star version, so he came up with the idea of grabbing this hot spot by himself.
Firefly is a mobile phone brand owned by Bee, but you can't see this brand of mobile phone in the market at all, because its positioning is different from "Bee" and "Anga", and it exists as a display sample and limited gift.
His starry sky version is a customized commemorative model for this star sea press conference, the phone case uses the so-called star map painting, and the patterns on the front and back covers are from different positions of the solar system photos. So the pattern of each mobile phone is different, after opening the box, Xu Jun specially picked up the mobile phone and pointed the back cover at the lens for five seconds, so that the Jupiter pattern on it can be accurately focused and recorded.
Then he turned the phone over, pressed the power button to turn it on, and a green firefly with a glowing tail appeared on the screen, flying and drawing a number "9" trajectory and quickly disappeared, and then the main screen with only 9 icons appeared on it, and the boot speed was fast.
This is also normal,The FFS Firefly system used by Firefly mobile phones is not an increasingly bloated intelligent system after all,The system has a small light screen, of course, it has a fast enough loading speed。
The so-called FFS is the former BEEOS1,At the BPA partner conference in April this year,Bee announced that the B1 system was renamed Firefly and operated independently,But it became just the name and version number,The original BEEOS1.9 became FFS9,Nothing else has changed。
After all, this is a system that has been iteratively updated over the years and has become very mature. 4G Internet access, picture beautification, voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, walking navigation...... The functions that can be added have been added, and other functions cannot be added if you want to, otherwise the power consumption will skyrocket and become a smart phone system that is charged once a day.
Although the high-speed rail runs smoothly and is claimed to be quieter than a car, it is still not enough for recording, so Xu Jun did not record the commentary content synchronously, but just silently displayed the mobile phone UI and took pictures of the main pages such as storage and system. Then he focused on the pre-installed apps, clicked on the icon to run each app in turn, and performed simple operations to give the viewer a simple understanding of the phone, and then he turned off the video.
These applications are all produced by bees, although B1/FFS supports deducting micro 1 Bo payment 1 treasure, but these three national software do not appear in the pre-installed list, because this is the place that bees leave for themselves.
After mainstream manufacturers have withdrawn from the feature phone market, the B1 system, which continues to be updated and has a large number of software support, has become the best choice for feature phone manufacturers and users, and it has also made bees unconsciously harvest a large market with a greater number than smart phones. It's a pity that the price of feature phones is low, and the profit of a single machine is meager, and bees actually don't make much money from this market. The reason for its continued existence is more to cultivate user habits and experiment with new technologies.
The trend of migration from feature phone users to smart phones is inevitable, so it makes sense to cultivate usage habits in the era of feature phones.
B1 also makes a great contribution to the hardware technology of bees, and the polishing and maturity of the big ear baseband is also inseparable from the long-term use and positive feedback of countless B1 users. The reason why it is strong in power consumption control and weak signal communication, but lags behind its peers in downlink rate indicators, is the mark left by feature phone users.
So strictly speaking, the first Bee phone to use a baseband with big ears is not actually the 4G version of BP7, but the first generation of Firefly phones two years ago.
At that time, Bee Heart Semiconductor cooperated with Bee System Software and external mobile phone manufacturers to jointly create a 4G feature phone that uses a full set of Bee software and hardware solutions. This is done to demonstrate to third-party mobile phone manufacturers, Bee is only ready to transfer technology to sell solutions, and has no plans to bring this phone to market.
However, the plan could not catch up with the change, and the phone was later leaked online, causing quite a reaction. As the first 4G feature phone, it easily hit the pain points of many 4G users who need a long-lasting mobile phone, and its excellent design has attracted some users who need high-end feature phones.
Bee did not respond to the user's call to officially bring it to market, after all, the shrinking market value of feature phones is not suitable for turning back, but it has not completely ignored it. They first registered the Firefly trademark for this series, and then invested more design resources to operate the "sample machine" series. Every year, Bee launches a number of new Firefly phones with both performance and beauty, and then gives them away as limited souvenirs, such as this Starry Sky Edition.
"Classmate, what kind of mobile phone are you, it looks like a feature phone?" Seeing Xu Jun finish shooting, the young passenger sitting next to him asked.
In fact, he had noticed Xu Jun's behavior a long time ago, at first this person should have been BP7, and a pair of horizontal dual cameras in the middle of the back were very recognizable, and he couldn't recognize the straight keyboard machine that he took out later. He endured it for a long time, until the other party began to pack his things, and then he opened his mouth to ask.
"This one, it's a bee's firefly, a souvenir from participating in the event," Xu Jun replied with his head up.
Seeing the other party's eagerness, he handed over the mobile phone in his hand again, asking the family to take a good look, anyway, there are still a few hours before the train arrives at the station, and he is not afraid that this person will snatch the mobile phone and run away.
"Star Sea Commemorative Edition," the young man took the phone, and the young man whispered the laser inscription on the back, "You participated in the bee's Star Sea press conference?"
"yes," Xu Jun nodded, "I'll go back to school when the event is over." ”
"Back to school?" The man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Jun, looked up and down for a while, and then shouted in a low voice: "You are the Prince of Taishan?"
Xu Jun was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he pretend to be unintentional and asked, "Hmm, can I say that you recognized the wrong person?"
"That's it!" the young man handed his phone to Xu Jun, then took out his own phone, "Can you take a photo?"
Before Yuan Yangren went back, he had already sorted out the interview video and posted it on the Internet. Then this video was watched by a ghost animal up owner and transformed into "Ape Man Loves Tarzan", which received 40,000 views and thousands of comments in one day. Originally, 40,000 was completely insignificant compared to 600 million netizens, but the probability is so wonderful that he just met a "fan" who had watched this video.
