Chapter 963: Attack on the Butterfly
"Hello!"
"Hello," Wang Shan nodded in return, explaining his intentions.
The clerk looked down and said with a smile, "Our store manager will be here soon, please wait a moment." ”
"Hmm," Wang nodded slightly, turning around the shop.
In addition to mobile phones and their accessories, you can also see tablets, laptops, game consoles, VR headsets, and even balance bikes and drones.
"Hurry, brother, help! I'm entangled!"
"Watch me fly bricks to save people!"
"Haha!
The shrill children's voice that had not yet changed its voice drilled into his ears, and Wang Shan raised his eyebrows, "It seems that it is not bad to change it to 'Internet café for primary school students'." ”
The mobile game is simple to operate, easy to learn and easy to learn, and the painting style is cute, which is easy to attract young players.
It is also logical that there is also a mobile phone experience store that is increasingly becoming an "Internet café for elementary school students", and the same is true here. Although many popular mobile games have not logged on to the Bee platform, the low display table specially prepared for children in the store is still full of friends who play games in groups. It can be seen that it doesn't matter what you play, what matters is who you play with.
took out his mobile phone and pointed it at the group of small pot friends, and before he could choose the composition, Wang Shan felt that someone was patted on the shoulder, and a sentence came from his ear, "What about it?"
Lao Wang's hand trembled, the phone almost fell to the ground, hurriedly grabbed the phone, looked back at the person, and found that it was the store manager who was waiting, and immediately complained: "Do you know that people are scary and scared to death? ”
"What are you afraid of?" the person who came looked indifferent, pointing to his feet, "What is this place? The mobile phone is broken and it is just sent for repair on the spot, and I will testify to you that it was not man-made." ”
"Forget it," Wang Shan shook his head, "It's better to save some money for bee insurance, if I don't have the money to go out of business now, who will cash out my marriage insurance in three years?"
"Did you buy that too? Did you choose flowers, milk powder or cash?"
"Flowers are too wasteful, cash is too little, or milk powder is the most affordable, I am a very pragmatic person. ”
As the Internet entered the insurance field, mutual insurance companies that were well versed in the "eyeball economy" soon brought innovative insurance types such as elderly insurance, menstrual cramp insurance, weather insurance, etc., and the marriage insurance mentioned by Wang Shan was also among them. If the user gets married after three years of taking out the "marriage insurance", the insurance company will pay the specified subject according to the agreement, usually flowers or cash, and the version of the bee insurance can also choose the baby milk powder set provided by Jiajing Food.
Letting Lao Wang into the staff passage, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "No wonder you are worried, if everyone chooses this way, Bee Insurance may really go bankrupt." ”
"Hehe, just talk about it casually," Wang Shan shook his head and denied, "Who doesn't know the relationship between bees and Jiajing? ”
"That's for sure," said the store manager in the back, "how can an insurance company do a loss-making business? Insurance companies are the least likely to go bankrupt." Have you heard of any insurance company that went bankrupt?"
Wang Shan stopped in amazement, thought about it carefully, and shook his head helplessly, "It seems that there really isn't." ”
Passing over the other party, the store manager said with a smile: "Insurance companies are the same as securities companies, mathematicians grasp a lot of them, and all of them are experts in studying probability. Unless there is a dense 'once in a century', natural and man-made disasters, and major customers need to pay a large amount of compensation or surrender the policy intensively, the insurance company may have performance problems. ”
"That's not right!" Wang Shan opened his mouth to deny, and said as he walked: "It's okay not to mention these, but I don't feel at ease when you say it, bee insurance is not an ordinary insurance company." ”
For insurers, customer diversity can spread risk and avoid being hit hard by the damage to one place or one industry. But bee insurance is different, follow the trend to launch marriage insurance, elderly insurance, weather insurance just to show his face in front of the people of the country, the real main business is still linked to bee products broken screen insurance, accident insurance, quality liability insurance. In this way, although the premium can be avoided from being earned by outsiders, it also leaves the related risks to yourself, and if something happens to the bee, the bee insurance will not be spared.
"Don't worry," the store manager said with a smile, "Even if this happens, there will be a reinsurance company behind." Isn't the insurance company of the insurance company used to share the risk?"
"That's right," Wang Shan nodded in agreement, "I just don't know what the insurance ratio is?"
"I don't know, I'm just a little store manager. ”
While talking, the two of them had already come upstairs, and the store manager pointed to the room not far away and said, "Don't talk about this, let's hurry up and get down to business!"
"Hmm!" Lao Wang had nothing to do, put away his laughing expression, and quickly entered the work state.
The relationship between the machine house and bees has always been very good, and you can always get first-hand news. The reason why he came here was to receive an invitation from the latter to come and experience several new devices of the bees on the spot.
The first is to have his equipment checked by the secrecy officer next to him, and he can only enter the testing chamber with a small number of approved tools, and then he signs a non-disclosure agreement not to reveal the specified content until the MC begins. When everything was done, Wang Shan said goodbye to the store manager and walked into the testing room, taking his camera and all his tools.
The interior is very simple, with no windows or extra decorations on the walls, three tables and a chair on the floor, the first two tables are placed with new equipment and testing tools waiting to be experienced, and the one against the wall is placed two sets of delicate miniature sand tables.
Retracting his gaze from the racing simulator in the corner, Wang stepped forward and found five mobile phones, three laptops, two tablets, and an introductory manual with the words "confidential, internal documents" printed on the table.
Without rushing to move a few machines, he picked up the manual and sat down on the chair next to him, flipping through it.
There is a brief introduction to these devices in the manual, the main parameters, core selling points, etc., which seems quite boring, but also implies bright spots.
After reading it, Wang Shan nodded clearly, the reason why a racing simulator is here is really to facilitate the test of the new car eye protection mode.
The processor and memory configuration of the Bee 7A have remained unchanged, but they have not received much criticism, and they are still regarded as the excellent mobile phone of the year by the media and users, which is not only due to the AI artificial intelligence chip and All-Screen full screen, but also inseparable from the many contributions of infrared sensors. The latter brings a new lip unlock, more mature gaze locking, and more reliable eye protection functions to the Bee 7a, all of which are excellent technologies that directly hit the pain points.
Judging from the information revealed in the manual, it is clear that the bee has no intention of making the 7a stand out, and these products behind it are also equipped with these technologies.
It is not surprising that the bees will do this, because of the earthquake and other reasons, the Sony IMX sensor, AMOLED screen, UFS flash memory, and LPDDR4 memory used in flagship mobile phones have been out of stock and the price has increased, making the relevant manufacturers miserable.
Although the component self-sufficiency rate is ahead of its domestic counterparts, bees still need to purchase memory chips, and in the face of the shortage and price increase of high-end chips, they dare not follow the example of a certain one, and blur the problem by optimizing the flash memory use experience, so they can only find ways to dig other selling points, hoping to divert consumers' attention.
"I wonder if the patent problem has been solved?"
Putting down the manual, Wang Shan wrote down this sentence in his notebook, planning to ask someone after he went out.
Bee 7A became popular before it was sold, and major companies jumped out to claim the patent, threatening to sue if they didn't pay the money.
The reason for this is that many of the technologies used in 7A are not original, and have long been registered as patents by other companies. Samsung launched a phone with eye-tracking technology four years ago, and Apple filed a similar patent in '08, but neither was able to promote it. The use of cameras to collect lip language passwords and the use of mobile phone sensors to combat motion sickness are not the first of their kind to bees, all bees do is to exert their ability to turn decay into magic, so that these technologies can mature quickly.
However, the patent rule is that the patent is first applied for and first benefited, and advanced technology is premised on backward technology, and then bees are approached.
Although many people on the Internet are spreading the joke that "you have to get on the car early, and you can't regret the ban", Wang Shan doesn't believe that Bee 7a will really be banned and punished. The companies that found the bees this time are not patent hooligans who want money, they are likely to exchange patents for technology, and they should not come to the point of hurting each other.
"Seeing how determined they looked, maybe an agreement had already been reached. ”
Coming to the table, Wang Shan looked down at the products.
According to the introduction in the manual, in front of him are C4 mobile phones, BP8 mobile phones, BBQ notebooks, and a new generation of bee tablets, all of which are new products that are intended to be unveiled at the MC Mobile World Congress at the end of the month. The total number of units reached 10 due to the differences in the versions of the system and the main accessories.
Among them, there are three versions of the fourth-generation "carbon tube" processor C4 mobile phone, LCD, butterfly, multi-sided screen, and BP8 equipped with bee heart 626 has less multi-faceted screen version, only LCD and butterfly screen, and the resolution is also 4K. The world's thinnest BBQ notebook is available in three versions, the ultra-thin Concept Edition, the Ordinary Edition with an inseparable screen, and the Standard Edition, which is slightly thicker. The two tablets are also equipped with 626 processors, with rounded butterfly screens and right-angle LCD screens respectively, and they can also be connected to keyboards to act as notebooks.
Light up these devices in turn, take screenshots to record the current power and time, Wang Shan installed the running program he brought and ran it, and then stood aside and looked at these products.
Obviously, Bee has put a lot of thought into these products, not to mention the black technology carbon tube processor used in the C4, and the 10nm process Bee Heart 626 used in other products is also remarkable. In addition, bees also generally use infrared sensors and full-screen designs on these devices, which are quite eye-catching together. Especially for the concept version and the regular version of the BBQ barbecue, the screen part looks unusually slim, which is more beautiful and shocking than the pictures on the Internet.
Ten devices use a total of four screens: full LCD, right-angle LCD, full butterfly, multi-faceted butterfly, LCD is naturally from a third party, but the latter two are from the bee's BDI butterfly display company, the latter contracted most of the highlights, it can be called "attack butterfly".
The butterfly screen is based on IMOD interferometry modulation display technology, which is inherently simple in structure, small in thickness, and low in power consumption. On the premise of having a reference object,It's easiest to transform it into a full screen,It's more troublesome to make a multi-faceted screen,And the display effect is not as good as a pure curved screen,I feel that the bee is in a hurry。
What really surprised Lao Wang was the new energy-saving mode of the butterfly screen.
The butterfly screen has always used a display mode similar to a DLP projector, and each pixel rotates to display red, green, and blue three seed pixels, and then mixes them into specific colors on the user's retina according to the proportion of time occupied by each color. This mode is the easiest to implement, with one color for each pixel, and the display is delicate and accurate, with the only problem being the extra energy consumption that comes with constantly switching sub-pixels.
Compared with LCD, a large power consumer, this part of the energy consumption is not high, and it can be used as a selling point. But if the opponent is replaced with the increasingly mature AMOLED, the butterfly screen will be a little unbearable, the power consumption is not necessarily much less, the color is not as bright and rich as others, and it is even more urgent in the dark light environment.
and self-luminous OLED specific brightness and saturation, naturally the egg is not self-sufficient, but fortunately, the energy-saving potential of the butterfly screen can continue to be tapped. As long as the sub-pixel arrangement mode similar to that of an LCD display is adopted, the red, blue and green sub-pixels are displayed separately for a group of three pixels, thereby greatly reducing the energy required to maintain the picture, and with the local refresh technology, the overall power consumption can be greatly reduced, at the cost of wasting pixels and reducing resolution.
The 1080p screen abandons 2/3 pixels, and the actual resolution will be reduced to 1109x624, which is worse than the 1280x720 standard on low-end mobile phones.
It wasn't until BDI finally mass-produced 4K resolution mobile phone screens that it finally had the opportunity to waste pixels for power consumption. The 4K screen turns on the energy-saving mode, and the resolution will drop to 2367x1248, which does not look outdated. The resulting reduction in power consumption is real, and it will definitely be able to easily refresh the smartphone battery life record held by the Bee Phone 7.
The 4K butterfly screen on several notebooks and tablets also supports energy-saving mode, and with the 14/10nm process processor known for its low power consumption, the battery life is not as long as you want.
