Chapter 783: New Flagship
Shen Mo was about to speak, when the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang with an email arrival prompt, and when he picked it up and read the contents, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"What's the matter, smiling so silverly?"
"Of course it's a good thing!" Mr. Shen replied subconsciously.
"Oh," Wu Panwei smiled and dragged a long voice, and then asked several questions with a crackling voice: "Is there a new girl who promised you to come out to meet?" How is this P friend, what does he look like, is his figure good? Hmm? Not a beauty, is it possible that you will eat handsome guys and little fresh meat now?"
The smile on Shen Mo's face froze suddenly, and then he scolded angrily: ", I don't talk to you, a guy with prostate fluid in his head!"
The other party immediately retorted and pointed to the R glasses on the table, "Then may I ask this pure Mr. Shen, who developed this 17+ game?"
The latter was speechless for a moment, his face obviously hadn't cultivated to his home, so he could only smile awkwardly, "I don't have any female P friends, and there are no male P friends, it's our game that has passed the review." ”
"The boss next door sent an email saying that he had passed the bee inspection and would log in to the store the day after tomorrow, and wished us good results. ”
Hearing this, Wu Pan didn't look very excited, "Isn't it already over, why do you have to delay it for two days?"
General Manager Shen spread his hands, "I don't know, maybe the process hasn't been completed yet." The official notice will not come until the day after tomorrow, and he is now informing us that it is actually a violation, but no one can take care of others. ”
"That's right," Wu Pan shrugged, "It's good news, general manager, don't you arrange a celebration?"
"Okay, wait for the next meal, one bowl of instant noodles per person, 200 flavors to choose from!"
Wu Pan gave Shen Mo a thumbs up again, "You're amazing!"
In addition to the braised beef noodles sold all over the country, there are actually many varieties with local characteristics, which are usually only sold locally and are rarely seen by outsiders. Fortunately, with a well-developed online shopping system, you can buy Norwegian herring and Argentinian yerba mate at your fingertips, and it is certainly not difficult to buy other flavors of instant noodles that are not sold locally. Shen Mo had bought two hundred boxes of instant noodles with different flavors before, and he had planned to change the taste for everyone to taste fresh, but he overestimated the amount of food eaten by the crowd and the consumption rate was much lower than expected, so he had to use various opportunities to launch a battle to try to eat them before the expiration date.
Just when Shen Mo and the others were having difficulty choosing between eating sauce-flavored pork bone noodles or boiled beef noodles, in the bee garden office a few kilometers away, Atletico Madrid was also facing a choice question.
On his desk, several electronic gadgets are sitting side by side.
Just now, when Atletico Madrid was using them to experience the R game, he accidentally found that "Super Penetration" had been reviewed, so he willfully sent an email to notify Shen Mo.
After all, the biggest driving force behind the game's success is someone else, and a little bit of selfishness is not a problem at all.
After doing his personal business, Atletico finally started his work, and the scrutinizing eyes swept over them, and his task now is to select a main product from among them, give it the maximum promotion resources, and hope to create a new hot spot.
At this moment, Ma Dong is like an emperor who is reviewing the rules of his ministers and looking for the most beneficial policies for the country and the family, which is his privilege as the head of the entire group, and no one can take away it.
In front of him, four headsets were lined up, which were new products sent by Bee Mirage, each with a different focus and a more or less changed appearance.
The familiar ones are the N1A and N3A, which are facelifts that have been updated with hardware for the corresponding products, with lighter weight, longer battery life and more comfortable wearing, but there are no major functional changes, so the A representing the enhanced version is used as an additional number.
The other two look a little heavier and are completely newly designed. The designer added a full 4G communication function to it, which can be plugged in to make phone calls, use iFi and data networks to watch videos online. As de facto glasses mobile phones, they could have gotten a brand new model of the N, but Mirage came up with the N1 and N3.
With network support,Users can enjoy wonderful R online videos and ordinary videos no matter where they are,Of course, you have to prepare unlimited data cards for them in advance,After all, the bitrate of R video is higher than that of ordinary HD videos,Traffic overhead is naturally quite large。
In normal times, N3, which can move the user's house as quickly as possible, will definitely be favored by Atletico Madrid, helping Mirage to get scarce promotional resources from him. This time, however, Atletico's eyes simply swept over them and returned to the cheap headset on the far left.
Its appearance is the same as the custom glasses brought back by Wu Pan, but there are more eye-catching bee mirage LG on it, but it is not a new product sent by Mirage. Although Bee designed the Rreay glasses, it was never made for this low-end entry-level product, which was so marginal.
In fact, this thing was found casually by Atletico just now, in order to promote its own R brand, Bee customized a lot of it to give away, and there is naturally no shortage of this thing in the chairman's office.
Because of the relationship of playing "super transparent", a small hole has also been dug in the front of this glasses, and you can see the back shell of the mobile phone and the camera inside.
Take out the phone inside, this is a new product from Bee Mobile. With it, the new N series can only stand aside, after all, R is only the future.
The back of the phone is still the curved metal back cover that bees are used to, and the iconic dual camera module is arranged horizontally at the thickest midline, which is different from the past, this time with some decorative elements on the outside of the camera module. The kidney-shaped lens cover glass is located on both sides like bright insect eyes, and the simplified mouthparts underneath and the curved antennae pattern on the top make the whole module look a lot like the head of a bee LG. Underneath the bee's head, there is a laser-etched calligraphy "one", a simple stroke but the head corner is full of vitality, obviously a master's handwriting.
Nodding satisfactorily at his calligraphy, Atletico flipped the Beene phone over.
You can see that the shape of the front is even stranger, its "forehead" is missing!
The upper part of the phone is directly with a narrow bezel, and you can't see common modules such as cameras, handsets, and distance sensors.
The whole phone feels like a whole screen, with only a thin "chin" at the bottom, and the overall look is quite eye-catching.
This is not the first time that Bee has used a knife on the forehead of a mobile phone, as last year's BP6 was first unveiled with the forehead cut off and made into a unique separable camera module. In fact, ten years ago, Atletico Madrid used this kind of separable design when he made his first mobile phone, but at that time he used a copycat motherboard and a male mold shell, and the appearance was not as stunning as the later products.
In order to maintain visual balance with the forehead that only has the earpiece and the sub-microphone left after unplugging the camera, the designer took advantage of the trend to reduce the chin length of the BP6, and as a result, he accidentally created the world's highest screen-to-body ratio mobile phone, as long as the camera module was unplugged.
However, in the end, this eye-catching design failed to really bring to consumers, the camera module and chin became shorter, the necessary components could not be omitted, and the increased integration level exceeded the processing capacity of mainstream foundries, which seriously dragged down the yield rate.
In the end, due to cost pressure, Bee Mobile had to cancel the separable design of the mass-produced version and urgently adopt a more traditional and conservative backup solution to save the day.
This kind of behavior of "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep" naturally attracted strong criticism from the media and users and protests of returns, and the initial sales were greatly affected, putting Bee and Atletico Madrid under considerable pressure for this. Fortunately, the combination of B6 system and BH436 processor is powerful enough, and a little bit of unfavorable public opinion will be reversed, coupled with Xiaolong810's timely divine assistance, in the end, this mobile phone that has experienced twists and turns has achieved good results that have broken through the past.
Although the radical split design failed, the designers at Bee Mobile took inspiration from the Sharp Aqrysal phone and intend to continue to improve the design and turn it into a truly ultra-high screen-to-body ratio, and Atletico's No. 1 phone is the result of 18 months of making.
As the inventor of the world's first LCD computer and LCD TV, Japan's Sharp has unparalleled strength in LCD technology, and has developed a unique screen "crystal glass panel" with beveled edge cutting for this mobile phone, which can hide the black edge of the screen (shading layer) to the greatest extent with the lens effect of the protective glass, presenting an amazing "bezel-less" effect.
However, Sharp made the mistake of traveling a hundred miles on this phone. They specifically customized the screen to reduce the bezels, they moved the front camera downward, and they eliminated the earpiece and replaced it with a bone conduction sounder, all in order to increase the screen-to-body ratio, which was already close to success, but these efforts were ruined by the phone's "big chin" and cheating configuration.
Because of the extra camera module, the jaw of this phone is a bit larger than usual, resulting in a screen-to-body ratio of only 78.21%, which is amazing but not scary, after all, there are a lot of Android phones on the market with a screen-to-body ratio of around 75%. What's worse is that Sharp doesn't hide the virtual button at the bottom of the native Android, and the presence of this large black bar further weakens the user's perception of a high screen-to-body ratio.
And the worst thing is the carrier customization strategy of this phone. Carrier custom phones have always been synonymous with low-to-mid-range, and this stunning-looking phone is no exception, in order to reduce costs, it uses a plastic body and a 720P screen, a 1.2Ghz quad-core processor and 1G memory, which was only at the mid-range level at the time. While this results in a lower price (less than $300 for a contract), it keeps out those who are trend-chasers, after all, the Android camp has always been fast and unbreakable, and the configuration is low.
It's just that the Japanese don't have a long memory,A2It was launched last yearA2It actually followed the original operator customization strategy and mid-range design,The screen is still 720P、The shell is still colorful and big plastic,Even the processor has not changed,Only added1GB memory。
As a result, for various reasons, this product has always been a little bit hot, already amazing but not surprising enough, failed to fully stimulate users' desire to buy, and neither became a hit nor boosted Sharp's performance. The Japanese company can only continue to fall into the quagmire of losses, empty of the world's advanced LCD panel technology, but can only rely on the sale of headquarters buildings and European and American branches to obtain cash flow to beautify the performance statement, and later was acquired by the boss of Tukang Guo as a whole, ending up with a layoff and integration.
With a light press on the bottom of the screen, the screen automatically lights up and unlocks, and Atletico examines their new product.
In order to show that he is responsible for his willfulness, he announced in a high-profile manner after the B6 head change incident that he would no longer meddle in the mobile phone design business and let others play at will. Anyway, he still maintains control of the system and the processor, and he is not afraid that they will smash the brand by random racing.
In fact, the team that designed the flagship for the first time was still a bit conservative, which led to the mediocre performance of this year's BP7, relying entirely on the advantages of this system and hardware to eat the opponent. Fortunately, although this mobile phone has few bright spots, it is mature and stable without dropping the chain, unlike the Samsung Ne7, which has been recalled around the world and destroyed the end, a misstep has become a thousand hatreds. The various incidents surrounding the latter are far from being easily lifted by Samsung's recall and apology.
If BP7 can only give 79 points, Atletico Madrid feels that the new mobile phone in his hand can hit 95 points, which is a good achievement of the original goal of a high screen-to-body ratio flagship.
The reason for the five points deduction is because Atletico feel that the team is too conservative and unprogressive in some areas.
The original plan was that the B1 should have a screen-to-body ratio of more than 90%, and then they did achieve it, and were clearly happy with this number and were not willing to pursue higher numbers further. If you use a harder ceramic material to make a one-piece body, the screen-to-body ratio can also be increased by one or two percentages. However, the low yield of the ceramic body of the bee watch still scared everyone, and directly passed this scheme.
As for the phone, it gave up its own butterfly scheme and turned to Sharp for customization, but it was set from the beginning. The production capacity of the butterfly screen is limited, and if you want to increase the production capacity, you need to invest in expanding the production capacity, which will take a while. Forcing bees to embark on the route of dual flagships, the new machine adopts LE panel, which can effectively alleviate the constraints on the production capacity of the butterfly screen on sales.
Of course, Sharp's rich experience in the production of narrow bezel screens is also valued by bees. The two generations of A bezel-less mobile phones before and after have not become popular, but Sharp has accumulated sufficient production experience, and the cost is far from being comparable to other screen manufacturers.
In addition,B1There are not too many highlights in other functions,In addition to the front camera in order to save space50000000 pixels of outdated configuration,The rest is basically on par with BP7,The only bright spot is that there is one more AI chip that can provide better performance for voice assistants and mobile games,It's blue。
