Chapter 466: Smart Phone
With the crazy expansion of smart phones, the style of mobile phones is gradually unified, all of them have become straight appearance, manufacturers can only do a little bit of modification in the details, such as in order to avoid being accused by Apple of infringing on the rounded rectangular patent, the four corners of the front of the mobile phone are changed to oblique angles or right angles, and for example, to change to a larger and thinner screen, for example, Samsung has launched a large-screen mobile phone with an oblique length of 5 inches and 6 inches.
But at this point, it's basically the end, after all, the manpower area is limited, everyone's pocket width is also limited, and the screen size will become a 7-inch small tablet if it is larger.
The next thing is to try to reduce the bezel area and increase the screen-to-body ratio, so that the mobile phone with a big face has a smaller head.
This is also the reason why all-metal shell mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, after all, the hardness of metal materials is higher and can support narrower and thinner bezels and shells, and the metal back cover also looks more noble after all.
Now in front of Atletico Madrid, a small two, two large and three mobile phones, without exception, use metal shells, reflecting the unique luster of metal under the light.
They are naturally the next generation of mobile phones from Bee, and the smaller 5 fan ni continues the tradition with a 4-inch screen, designed for users who like lightweight mobile phones, because of the use of ultra-narrow and ultra-thin design, the overall silhouette is smaller than that of mobile phones with the same screen size.
Next to it is the bee that uses a 5.5-inch large screen5+ and5D,The former is basically an enlarged version of the screen6Fanni,The width and thickness of the bezel remain the same,On the contrary, it looks more "slim",And the latter is"Fa Fu"The left and right upper and lower bezels have become a lot wider,The thickness has also increased a lot。
In addition to the difference in body size, the front appearance of the three mobile phones is basically the same, the top and left are the bees"family"Binocular cameras,In the middle is an earpiece covered with a slender dust net,At the same time, there is a distance sensor、Light sensor and noise-canceling sub-microphone,Then the largest piece in the middle is the mobile phone screen,Below is the microphone and sub-earpiece that are also covered by a slender dust net,There are no three diamond entity keys unique to Android mobile phones,There is no Apple-style home button。
This is not only to further expand the screen-to-body ratio, but also to avoid patent disputes, the front home button, and the integrated fingerprint recognition module are also Apple's design patents, and infringement must be investigated. Most of the Android phones with fingerprint recognition on the market now place them in the upper middle part of the back of the phone, so that when the device is held in one hand, the index finger can easily sweep the identification area to unlock the phone.
These three mobile phones are also equipped with fingerprint recognition function, but it is not integrated on the back, but placed on the side, although the slender scanning area makes the device can not directly enter a complete fingerprint, but among them, the bee "self-developed" fingerprint reader can completely complete the identification work with a broken fingerprint, only need the user to trouble when first enabled, carefully enter the fingerprints of a few commonly used fingers.
And unlike the optical and capacitive types on the market, Bee fingerprint recognition uses a more powerful and costly ultrasonic recognition function.
The optical collection is the fingerprint photo and the database comparison, so you can be deceived by the photo, the capacitive collection is the surface 3D structure of the fingerprint, the difficulty of cracking is much higher, you need to use silicone and the like to make a three-dimensional fingerprint film, and the fingers are wet when you usually use it, and the wrong posture angle may lead to recognition failure.
And these problems are not a problem for the more penetrating ultrasound, which is why Atletico chose it as the identification solution.
In fact, bees have carried out research on fingerprint recognition several years ago, but at that time, the cost has not been reduced, and the appeal of the bee brand is not high enough to support the high price, so it can only be stored as a technical reserve, and iPhone5S leads the trend of fingerprint recognition, and a number of Android flagships are also equipped with fingerprints, and the east wind they have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived.
Previously, due to problems in implementation coordination, the Bee 5 mobile phone released at the end of last year did not have time to catch this train, so Bee can only speed up the launch of the next generation of mobile phones, and intends to launch a new generation of mobile phones in early May.
The three mobile phones of this generation all use the 320 series SOC chips that have been adjusted and upgraded in architecture, of which the CPU and GPU have not been greatly changed, but the number of cores has been slightly increased to pile up performance, and the biggest change is the addition of support for 4G and fingerprint recognition. This generation of processors still chooses the 28nm process, and has not adjusted the process to pursue the 16nm or 14nm that has been initially mass-produced.
In fact, the next-generation 410 series SoC with higher performance using 14nm process technology is already being designed, and the new generation of CPUGPU cores is also being designed, but it has not been fully invested in research and development, after all, even if it is done now, it still has to compete for the capacity share of the 14nm production line, and the bee may not be able to beat Qualcomm's tyrants.
Speaking of Qualcomm tyrants, there are also a lot of entanglements between the Bee 6 mobile phone and Qualcomm.
First of all, the 4G baseband chip patent can't bypass Qualcomm Huawei and other communication giants, which is why the bee 5 failed to grab the 4G reason, other manufacturers can directly use the ready-made Qualcomm SoC, but the bee has to get the authorization first, and then develop its own chip, of course, the listing cycle is a lot slower.
secondly,Among the three mobile phones this time,5Fanniand5+All use a new generation of butterfly screen technology,This reflective display technology from Qualcomm Optoelectronics has finally been eaten by bees,The resolution of the new generation of screen has not only reached the mainstream level of LCD screen,At the same time, the color ability has been further improved,Although the number of colors、Color gamut breadth、Brightness and other indicators are completely inferior to conventional screens,But the actual naked eye experience,It is likely that the butterfly screen has a slight upper hand。
This is naturally the result of the bee's "pleasing to the eye" display technology has been greatly improved,In this era of looking at faces,Even the display screen must have a brain,The screen with its own beauty function asks if you are afraid?
So from a hardware point of view, this generation of mobile phones is actually an enhanced version of the bee5, the core hardware is basically unchanged, but it has changed from 4 cores to 6 cores, the performance has increased by 50%, the screen has been replaced with a homemade butterfly screen, and at the same time 4G network support and fingerprint recognition function have been added.
In terms of software, the version number of the operating system that matches it has finally been upgraded to Bee System 5, and it will basically be the same in the future so as not to be called bad.
The new system greatly enhances biometrics and artificial intelligence, with the former being able to identify users through a variety of technologies such as fingerprints, faces, and voiceprints, enabling fast unlocking of mobile phones while enhancing security. The latter allows the system to integrate and use these technologies well, giving play to the effect of 1+1>2, after judging the user's identity through face brushing, fingerprint and voiceprint recognition, all personalized settings including the "pleasing to the eye" display will be automatically switched, which not only protects privacy, but also makes the mobile phone more "smart".
Yes, smart, the first impression that the bee 5 system brings to the experiencer is that it is smart, not dull, and knows how to read words and colors.
Although the original name of the smartphone is "Killing Horse Wind Smartphone", most mobile phones are not "smart" enough, Android's frustrating and crazy background self-start, iOS various tangled small functions are missing, etc., have been criticized by users.
Through long-term testing and polishing, Bee has successfully integrated artificial intelligence technology and mobile phones, so as to truly endow mobile phones with "intelligence". Looking at the three mobile phones, Atletico Madrid's face was full of smug expressions, although their appearance has not been greatly upgraded, but the inner essence has changed a lot.
Now, they have the ability to simply observe words, colors, perceive the environment and adapt to changes, through voiceprint and expression analysis, the system can identify the user's current mood and mental state, "bored" to push you a variety of messages to help you pass the time, "sleepy" automatically prompts the user to take a break, "irritable" automatically adjusts the memory management mechanism to enhance fluency, so as not to hurt the pond fish by the angry user and fall angrily......
At the same time, in addition to these "little cleverness", the new generation of bee 5 system also has a disease recognition function, which can automatically send messages or make calls to preset emergency contacts when the user has epilepsy, vomiting, calling for help and other conditions.
There is no doubt that this function is for the elderly machine, and the bees have always been very interested in these market segments, so naturally they will not forget to run to get a piece of the pie.
Although they use a special coprocessor to manage the sensor, the sensor will still bring additional energy consumption if the sensor is in standby mode for a long time, and the sensor will work to collect information, the system automatically identifies and responds automatically will also bring longer CPU usage time, plus the two extra cores of the new mobile phone, the power consumption will be greatly increased.
But what's interesting is that the battery life of the new mobile phone is longer than that of the previous generation of mobile phones, and it's not surprising that 5+ and 5D have a larger capacity of battery life, but after slimming, the battery life of the 5 fans ni has still increased a lot, which is very powerful.
This is naturally the credit of changing the screen, the butterfly screen is a reflective display, itself does not emit light, by adjusting the thickness of the micromotor unit corresponding to each pixel on the screen to change its interference to the reflected light offset interval, thereby changing the color of each pixel, thus forming a color picture.
Although most of the technical indicators of the butterfly screen are lagging behind the LCD or LED screen due to the limitation of the principle, its own non-luminous light makes the energy consumption of the screen much smaller.
The LCD screen itself does not emit light, usually a white backlight is installed on the side of the screen, and the phase change liquid crystal is controlled by the TFT (thin film transistor) circuit to block the illumination channel corresponding to the red, blue and green three-color filter, so as to present different proportions of red, blue and green ternary color light, and finally mixed into the specified color in the human eye, and OLED, Self-luminous screens such as A-touch LEDs directly use red, blue, and green LED light-emitting diodes to form pixels, and produce different proportions of ternary color light by adjusting the brightness of each group of different color LEDs, and finally mix them into target colors in the human eye.
This is also the reason why the LED display is more energy-efficient than the LCD screen, the LCD screen is a "subtraction", which reduces the lighting white light to other colors, while the LED is an addition of direct ternary color light mixing.
Therefore, for the LCD screen, the white light theme is more power-efficient, and the LED uses an all-black background to save power, because the former uses the white theme to do less "subtraction", while the latter uses the pure black area can turn off the LED to do less "addition".
Of course, the most power-saving is reflective displays such as e-ink screens (electrophoretic screens) and Qualcomm sunflowers, which do not emit light by themselves, but instead use ambient light.
However, both technologies have their own drawbacks, the principle of the electrophoretic screen is not suitable for displaying a variety of colors, and the use surface is very narrow.
Although Qualcomm Sunflower crushed the electrophoresis screen in terms of color number refresh rate, it was far away from the LCD screen, and the low yield rate led to high cost, so that it never found a manufacturer willing to use it.
On the contrary, the first generation of sunflower technology was purchased, and on this basis, the bee butterfly screen modified by magic was a preliminary success, and even the mass production order of Qualcomm's new generation of sunflower was handed over to the bee OEM. Through the exchange of technology, the sunflower and the butterfly each absorbed some of the strengths of the other and became more attractive.
After exploring on two generations of Shenchuan mobile phones, Bee not only polished the "pleasing to the eye" display technology, but also broke through the problem of yield rate and greatly reduced production costs, which is why the new generation of mobile phones generally use butterfly screens.
And the butterfly screen has no backlight, and there is no need to reserve a black-edged BM area at the edge to prevent light leakage like the LCD screen, which can naturally make the mobile phone frame narrower, which is why the mobile phone frame using the AM screen is narrower than the LCD screen mobile phone.
This is also the reason why the bezels of 5D mobile phones should be widened, this mobile phone focuses on DIY self-assembly, and the screen cannot only provide a choice of butterfly screen and AM screen, so it should be made wider to accommodate changes.
5D is not actually the first modular mobile phone of Bee, in the past, I tried to let the directly operated SURE store help users replace and upgrade the mobile phone parts, and finally it was discontinued because of the difficulty of implementation, until three years later, the main user hand-assembled Bee 5D was reborn.
The new 5D has a complete set of accessories that cover most configurations and have redesigned interfaces, and it is very rich in content, from the processor, sensors, and battery, to the screen and case, there is nothing that cannot be replaced. Of course, because the shell kit is just a change of material and appearance, the general size of the 5D mobile phone will basically not change, unless there is a new design in the future.
5D is the second most expensive mobile phone in Bee Games so far, second only to C1, and the reason why it took the trouble to create such a niche model is naturally to cultivate fans. Although the all-carbon mobile phone of the C1 is high enough, after all, the production is limited and too far away from the user, and a D-series mobile phone with infinite upgrades like an airplane can undoubtedly do more.
