Chapter 363: Shenchuan Mobile Phone

On the 1st of next month, Bee will hold a new annual press conference to grandly launch its updated product line. (.xin-)

The reason why it is placed in 11. 1 Singles' Day, there is also a rather embarrassing reason, under the continuous promotion of several major e-commerce stations, November 11 Singles' Day has been transformed into a shopping carnival. This day has become a day for the choppers to max out their credit cards, but few people pay attention to the lonely single dogs in the corner.

Moreover, in order to gain the upper hand in the cat and dog war, Ali preemptively registered the trademark of Double 11 last year, strictly prohibiting other e-commerce peers from using it. Because of the self-built online mall, Bee is also a vertical e-commerce, so it is even more necessary to avoid this battlefield of saliva and hair.

Of course, the main reason is to avoid the attention of the media and the public being attracted by the latter, resulting in his new mobile phone not being able to make headlines.

In order to make headlines, Bee's press conference this year began to warm up two months in advance, and launched the 2013 New Earth event page, re-hyping the old topic of the end of the world in 2012 is certainly not their purpose, so that consumers pay attention to this aspect, and then take the opportunity to promote Bee's upcoming "God Ship" series of hardware products, which is their real purpose.

Because Bee's software and network services will have a long period of closed testing, internal testing, and public testing before the official launch, and the process of continuous modification and polishing, successful products will naturally gradually accumulate early users in this process, and there is no need to go to a press conference to promote it. And those products that have not performed well in several consecutive tests naturally do not need to be specially developed, and will be killed internally early to save money. Therefore, the product launches held by Bee in the past few years are all for hardware products, including the Shenchuan mobile phone and Shenchuan transformer that will be launched this year.

"Shenship" was originally a ridicule of Shenzhou, another PC brand that took the price route, known as "Shenzhou's big A law is good, and the ship is safe" and the decision to buy Shenzhou products is called "on the ship", and the feeling of being pitted when encountering quality problems is called "capsizing", which fully reflects the humorous spirit of friends who are willing to laugh at others and have the courage to laugh at themselves.

Bee named its upcoming rugged mobile phone "Divine Ship", on the one hand, to respond to the theme of Ark 2012, and on the other hand, to pay tribute to the humorous spirit of friends. Because many of the initial design requirements of the Shenchuan series are absorbed from friends, such as a good mobile phone to smash walnuts, knock on car windows, block bullets, and encounter bikers on the road to block robbers, and can also be used as half a brick to shoot people.

Compared with being able to smash walnuts, the Shenchuan laptop is slightly inferior, and its shape is not much different from the transformer book launched by other manufacturers on the market, and it is also a separable design between the screen and the keyboard. In essence, the screen itself is a stand-alone tablet, and it is only connected to the keyboard to facilitate the pursuit of the keyboard feel of most laptop users, and the battery built into the keyboard can also greatly extend the battery life of the product.

Of course, the god ship notebook also has its own highlights,The place of this device"God" lies in its "omnipotence",It is claimed that it can install any operating system,With the brain-opening X86+Barleft and right brain parallel architecture,This product can support all X86 platform operating systems and some ARM platform operating systems,It can cover all well-known operating systems except iOS。 And in fact,As the official model of the bee mahjong tablet,Shenchuan computer originally supported iOS,But the use experience is not good because of compatibility reasons,Received a bunch of bad reviews during the company's internal testing,So this function was removed from the official version。

Compared with the previous version, Shenchuan has re-planned the positioning of two CPUs with very different architectures, and there is only one bee heart based on the bee bar architecture in the screen213QV40 quad-core processor, which will become a standard bee tablet after being separated from the keyboard. In addition to a 20,000 mAh lithium-ion battery, the separable keyboard also houses an Atom processor and the corresponding motherboard unit.

So in a sense, the Shenchuan notebook is actually composed of a tablet and a top without a screen, and the two are actually independent, but the latter needs to borrow the former's screen to output the picture.

After all, according to the continuous use experience of thousands of people in the bee for half a year, it seems that the brain-opening dual-architecture system can indeed cooperate with each other to help each other like the left and right brains of human beings, and perfectly achieve the design goal of high performance and low power consumption.

As for the main selling point of all-in-one access to all operating systems, in fact, it is not worth mentioning in technology, no matter what operating system is installed on this product, in fact, its two "brains" are installed on the SA system, under its organization and scheduling, the "left brain" Atom core and the "right brain" bee heart are well organized within their respective logical computing and graphics computing capabilities, and use a new virtual machine to manage and use them. The operating system actually used by the user is actually installed on this virtual machine, because the SA system can automatically identify the user system and call the built-in driver library, so Shenchuan has the ability to eat most systems.

The reason why the word almighty was not directly added to the name is not that the bee suddenly became modest, but that although this function has an effect, the practical application is still more meaningful as a gimmick. On the one hand, although it claims to support dozens of operating systems, it is actually divided into four types: INDOS, Linux, Android, and Bee OS, and there are always a few users who are obsessed with experiencing a variety of different operating systems, and the vast majority of people use one or two systems frequently, while on the other hand, "all-round" The state must be turned on at the same time, although the user can remove the keyboard to separate the two, but not let them be too far apart, otherwise the system will automatically restart and quickly switch to the default Bee OS.

Officially, because of the existence of these reasons, as well as the inability to overcome in the short term, the actual value of "Almighty" is far less than it seems, so that bees don't attach too much importance to it, and the focus of publicity before the press conference has always been on the magic ship mobile phone that can smash walnuts.

In addition to the 2013 promotional page, there are also a lot of videos circulating on the Internet recently, the smashed fruits range from longan, lychee to walnut, coconut, in addition to those that are too tender and juicy and the skin is thin and easy to break the fruit that cannot be smashed, the rest of the various fruits growing in the canopy have been picked up and smashed by people.

And this mobile phone that is used to smash fruit is naturally the mobile phone of the bee god ship, but for the needs of viral marketing, the bee did not deliberately emphasize the identity of the latter, but only tried to create a lively atmosphere of "all people smashing fruit fruit" video relay on the network, adding a bit of fun to the golden autumn harvest season.

In fact, according to the naming habits of bees, this mobile phone using an aluminum-magnesium alloy integrated back cover was originally called "walnut", after all, its own design concept was born to facilitate the smashing of walnuts, but in the company's internal testing process, the participating employees said that walnuts are not good after all, they are always smashed by Nokia, and they should go to a more domineering name. And after a round of questionnaires, the mighty and domineering Shenchuan became the final name of this rugged mobile phone, and even Bee specially registered a trademark and domain name for it.

At the moment, the mobile phone between the two is the Shenchuan mobile phone that is about to be officially released and then listed, the large thickness of the two mobile phones is not the same, the one close to Atletico is only slightly larger, although the screen is still four (inches, referring to the diagonal length of the screen 10. 16 cm), but because of the thickened bezel and rubber screen surrounding, the thickness and size are generally larger than that of mobile phones. And Tang Jiayi's mobile phone has not changed, but the thickness has also increased a lot, and the screen has also shrunk a little, from 3. 5 became 3.

This is also a helpless thing, if you want to make the mobile phone stronger, more resistant to drop and shock, you must increase the strength of the frame structure of the fuselage, and in the case of no breakthrough in the material, you can only choose to increase the cross-sectional area of the material to enhance the performance. Fortunately, everyone has formed the existing impression of "heavy = strong", so it is not a bad thing to make it thick and heavy, at least it looks strong and powerful, right?

These two mobile phones are called big boats and boats, the former because of the large use of metal materials caused by the weight of the weight is obviously exceeded, weighing 210 grams close to half a catty, such a weight has slightly affected the use, so the designers can only reduce the weight by shrinking the screen and volume, and finally launched a boat that controls the weight within 150 grams.

In fact, the ship is not a pure female mobile phone, after all, the Shenchuan team itself is not sure whether there is a market segment of "female rugged mobile phone", and it is only done to make it more convenient for users to use it and avoid the occurrence of finger tenosynovitis caused by the large screen used by the hand.

So after seeing the two mobile phones that Atletico took out, Tang Jiayi undoubtedly picked the boat and got it in her hand, but after playing for a while, she lost interest in it and threw it aside from looking at it.

The configuration of this mobile phone can be quite good,It actually chose the 211 processor that was originally used for smart bracelet smart glasses,Although the latter has enhanced the performance by 20% because of the process to 40nm,But after all, it is only a weak single core,No matter how to enhance the performance, it is still limited。 In addition, the GPU module carried by this chip is also the lowest specificationC1010,It leads to the game performance of this mobile phone is very bad,In addition to the old antique games such as Minesweeper and Backgammon Snake, which can run smoothly,Most of the slightly new games can't be played at all.,Even if you can play, it's a card-by-card card.。

From the perspective of processors, the configuration of Shenchuan mobile phones can be a big step backwards, and even some high-end feature phones five or six years ago are even more miserable.

However, the design of the bee mobile phone naturally has their reasons, the low-power butterfly screen, the low-frequency and low-power processor, coupled with the battery that does not shrink, make the Shenchuan easily take the crown of the most durable smartphone with more than 100 hours of continuous use. If it weren't for the fact that some manufacturers had launched feature phones with ultra-large batteries of more than 10,000 mAh, the hat of the most durable mobile phone could also be fought for.

As a three-proof smart phone,The positioning of the Shenchuan is very clear,Its service objects are often outdoors and even in the wild,Construction personnel、Travel friends、Extreme sports enthusiasts,These people don't have much free time to sit there and play a few games,So the game function of the Shenchuan mobile phone is greatly castrated,In this way211The processor with a main frequency of less than 800 megabytes can also hold,On the contrary, it can also greatly improve the use time。

On the other hand, the configuration of the Shenchuan mobile phone is actually very luxurious, after all, it is also equipped with a large number of sensors used to measure magnetic field, temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, pH value, and the mobile phone also adds an additional high-precision time chip and multi-function DSP chip, which greatly strengthens the timing accuracy and the ability to process sound and image.

Even if there is a problem with the GPS positioning function, the location can be calculated by shooting the starry sky and shadows, of course, because large cities are usually under the cover of the national strategic anti-missile and anti-satellite skylight system, so the satellite positioning function around the city may not be available.

And the powerful DSP chip also gives it a powerful and cool function, known as the "know-it-all in the mobile phone", which can identify thousands of species of animals and plants by analyzing photos and audio recordings, which can greatly enhance the user's survivability in the wild.

But it's a pity that this function still has a lot of flaws,Its analysis of images and sounds is based on pattern recognition algorithms,Successful recognition requires users to provide excellent sample photos or audio,The closer to the database, the higher the success rate of sample recognition,And usually it is not easy to connect in the field environment,You can only use the built-in local database of the mobile phone,It will further reduce the recognition ability。

As for the other water quality rapid measurement function, it can only detect simple physical and chemical indicators such as water temperature, pH, turbidity and so on, and simply list them, and never dare to "this water is safe to drink", only "this water looks dirty and can't be drunk". However, temperature, pH, turbidity and so on can be estimated by hand and visual inspection, and the actual value of this function is not great.

However, even Atletico Madrid did not expect that after the launch of the Shenchuan mobile phone, the water quality rapid test function quickly became famous, people found that the Shenchuan can be used as a portable water quality detector, and when they found that the river was black, they soaked their own Shenchuan into it, fished out and wiped the screen to see the water quality test results, and it can also be directly sent to the scarf and the local environmental protection bureau, local media, etc., which is not too convenient.
