Chapter 219: A Mobile Phone That Wants to Change History!
Xia Yu was in Nanshan University when he received the call, and he had just come out of the professor's office, and he rushed back as soon as he heard the news.
Of course, Xiao Duan sent him - the driver's license class had already been registered, and the uncle helped find someone so that he didn't have to go to class, but the exam would take a while.
As soon as they entered the house, Yang Chunsheng and several people stood up involuntarily.
Even if they themselves are confident enough, at Polestar, Xia Yu will always be the one who has the most say. Not only because he is the CEO, but also because his opinions are often proven to be correct in terms of company strategy and product direction.
"Everyone sits, I'm embarrassed!" Xia Yu also smiled when he saw this scene, but his eyes immediately fell on the beautiful mobile phones on the table.
He picked up a sky blue prototype, and the 128-gram standard fuselage was heavy in his hand, and his heart suddenly felt steady.
Looking at the Polestar Electronics logo and the words "NJStar A100" on the laser, he was also excited in his heart.
It's finally this point.
Polestar's own phone!
He gently rubbed the smooth and flat bezel, the rounded corners with a delicate feel, and the matte shell on the back that was very comfortable to hold, and smiled at Fan Pingze: "Pretty good!"
A simple compliment, but it made the corners of Fan Pingze's eyes sour.
Since I started work after the new year, I have never stopped working overtime, remodeling, and testing after countless failures...... It seemed to be worth it at this moment.
Yes, Xia Yu's affirmation really touched this man in his early forties!
In Xia Yu's hand, the mobile phone is still flipping, and he really can't put it down.
The perfect curvature of the side of the fuselage, the precision workmanship of the real yàn room, and the conspicuous and unobtrusive Logo are all so beautiful.
To be honest, the shape of the A100 is actually not trendy, it is a somewhat decent rectangular monochrome straight keyboard design. But the whole shape gives people a sense of atmospheric neutrality, at least Xia Yu thinks it looks much better than his template Nokia 1110.
On closer inspection, there is a bit of a feeling that Nokia launched the 2060 years later. But it can't be counted, because this kind of styling has become a bit popular later.
Of course, a real arcade machine shouldn't be looking for anything peculiar, and it's in line with Polestar's usual style - the Polaris series of multi-width MP3s are also designed in this style.
And considering the user habits at this time, the body design of the A100 is not large, the body size is 106x45.4mm, and the thickness is 12.4mm - a little thicker, but it is compared with the large-screen smartphones of later generations, at least in the countless tests and real feel done by Fan Pingze, it is still quite good.
He rubbed his hand lightly against the 2.4-inch screen. It also feels good.
Finally, in the expectation of everyone, Xia Yu pressed the power button in the upper right corner.
After a flash of flickering, the Polestar logo began to flash, and the digital words "NJStar A100" flashed in the center of the screen. ,
This screen is just an ordinary TFT screen, and it doesn't even have a color screen display function, but two background light options have been added - light green and amber to adapt to the display effect under different lights.
Of course. The R&D department has appropriately optimized the brightness setting and saturation in terms of system adaptation, and the final effect has been improved.
However, the pixels are still only 160×128, which is not comparable to high-end phones, but it is better than the 96×68 of the Nokia 1110, which was born a few months later. After all, the screen is also a lot bigger.
Well, this is also a package to buy for direct use.
It took about six or seven seconds to turn on, and then there was a decent standby interface.
The default language of A100 is Chinese, but English settings are supported. In the future, other languages can be added appropriately - with the current brand and channel strength of Polestar Electronics, it is not enough to open up the international market outside of MP3, so it has not joined for the time being.
Because the card has not been inserted again, the screen shows the state of emergency.
And the keyboard scheme is not particularly designed. However, this is also selected from more than 20 solutions from the solution provider after many calibration and functional tests by the R&D department, and tries to meet the standards of smooth control and stable buttons.
He paused slightly, then pressed the left function key to enter the function interface.
Ringtones, business card holders, alarm clocks, notepads, clocks, and three mini-games are all listed vertically, and the Guò button can be moved down to enter the secondary menu, and all can be selected and set.
Xia Yu was the first to click on the ringtone, which is a classic ringtone option with 40 chords - these are also provided by the program company, and the mainstream ringtone options are available.
The 40 chords are also a mid-range level, which can meet the effects of many diverse ringtones.
Of course, as a product of Polestar Electronics, Xia Yu still took the lead in the built-in ringtone of "I had a cold in that corner", which was unanimously recognized by everyone.
Because the electronic copyright is in their own hands, there is no second company on the market that can use this ringtone!
I clicked on the first mini-game, Tetris.
Counting the sound effects, this game is the most memory-intensive of the three, but Xia Yu still insisted on joining this classic game, and did not hesitate to increase the memory of the entire mobile phone.
In fact, most mobile phones at this time don't talk much about memory, generally only 1, 2M, enough is enough, but A100The final memory setting is4M - most of them are occupied by the system and business card holders, historical text message reservations, and the rest of the main part is these three small games, as well as the reserved 20 ringtone download options.
Well, these don't have to be done by the R&D department themselves, the memory management module that comes with the Qualcomm chip and the circuit scheme are all set, Peng Wenshan, they just need to ensure reasonable allocation and overflow settings.
It's better when the whole industry chain is basically mature!
There are professional companies at all levels to do it, and it is even better than investing money in it yourself.
……
Xia Yu sighed for a moment, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw several people around him staring at him with bated breath, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Chunsheng also smiled: "Everyone is waiting for you to insert the card to test the machine, who knows that you have been fiddling there for a long time without moving......" He handed over a prepared Huaguo mobile phone card, and said: "Try the call effect." ”
"Okay, I'm not happy!"
He expertly unshaved the card slot and inserted the SIM card. Soon the "Huaguo Mobile" logo flashed on the screen, and then entered the official standby interface.
"How much is the standby time finally stable?" Xia Yu asked while dialing the number he was familiar with.
"300~420 hours, and the specific calculation will be calculated after more jù comes out in the prototype test stage. Peng Wenshan replied.
"What about airtime?"
"260~380 minutes, basically refer to the mainstream model standard. ”
"Well, pretty good. ”
Xia Yu's mobile phone is still the same MOTOC650 he bought at the beginning,At present, the price of this mobile phone is also decreasing,But it is still around 1500 yuan,In addition to a so-called CSTN color screen and 300,000 pixels"Chicken ribs"Camera Other,It's really not necessarily better than A100Where。
At least Xia Yu never took a photo with it.
Of course. After all, this is a product from a year and a half ago, and it was quite classic at the time.
"My phone is ready to be changed at any time", Xia Yu said with a smile, found that the phone was connected, and pressed the speakerphone button casually.
"Hello?"
It's nine o'clock in the evening in San Francisco, Xiao Wenjing must not have slept yet, her puzzled voice quickly came, her voice was quite clear, there was no noise.
"Quiet. It's me!" Xia Yu shouted excitedly: "Welcome to be the first test user of NJStar A100!"
"What test...... Oh, you say our phones are ready?"
"Yes, do you hear clearly?"
"It's clear, it's great! Congratulations, Xia Yu!"
"That's good. Let's not talk about it yet, I'm still busy here, rest early!"
"Hmm. ”
In order not to expose the relationship with a man, Xia Yu hung up the phone decisively. Then he turned around and said with a smile: "This transatlantic phone call is fine, it should be fine." ”
Huang Yinghua shook his head: "The domestic base station environment should also be tried, and it is best to play a few more." ”
In fact, before Xia Yu's test machine. Yang Chunsheng and the others have already made an unknown number of calls, otherwise they would not dare to announce the success of the prototype development.
But without Xia Yu personally inspecting it, they always felt that something was missing.
Xia Yu nodded, took out his mobile phone, found the right contact and dialed the A100 in his hand one by one.
On the Yangcheng side, there are Dad's and Zhang Tianhe's, then Xiong Guangping from Jinling, Hua Yongqing from Shanghai on a business trip, Director Luan Ping from Xingcheng Xiangnan Satellite TV, and finally Fang Yuanyuan from Yanjing.
The last one made a joke, the little girl seemed to be taking a bath, and she answered the phone in a daze, and there was a sound of water on the other side, which scared Xia Yu and hung up the phone!
It's hands-free......
"Don't fight, the effect is good!" Xia Yuwolf said.
Several people held back and didn't dare to laugh, and finally Yang Chunsheng said in a gray voice: "We didn't hear anything......"
Xia Yu was anxious: "Go, I didn't hear it either!"
Jokes are jokes, anyway, under the research of Qualcomm's high-level chips and R&D centers for many days, at least the call quality of this A100 in Xia Yu's hand is passable.
In fact, there are more professional and comprehensive tests on Yang Chunsheng's side, and Xia Yu has seen them before, but this kind of ritualistic test is still more reassuring.
Xia Yu picked up his mobile phone again and sent two text messages to himself,After countless experiments, the keyboard feedback and support even the spelling input method have also passed,And the display effect on the screen is also very clear and natural。
I couldn't put it down, and tried all the functions one by one, alarm clock, notepad, calendar, contact management, ......
All the operations are quite smooth and free, no worse than the C650 that Xia Yu is used to.
That's a great success!
"Mr. Xia, how do you feel?" Yang Chunsheng couldn't help but ask.
"Great!" Xia Yu put down the phone, and couldn't help touching the A100 prototypes of several other colors one by one, and finally laughed: "Thank you for your hard work, it's really great!"
Of course, he knew that this was just a prototype assembled on a small scale, and there was still a lot of testing work to be done in order to adapt to mass production, and these prototypes would soon be sent to Jinling Panda's R&D department for more prenatal testing, and new problems might arise.
But he knows that by this point, the A100 has been considered a success.
Don't look at its functions so simple, but with the price of 588 yuan, Xia Yu is almost sure that this is a mobile phone that wants to change history......!
PS: Chapter 2!
This chapter won't be boring, it took a lot of effort...... The A100 is finally here, but there are still many challenges to take on Xia Yu and Polestar, so stay tuned!
To celebrate, would you like to ask for a monthly pass?
