Chapter 647: Revolutionary New Mobile Phone (Part I)
Beijing, Workers' Gymnasium.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, was crowded and full. Digital enthusiasts, major digital manufacturers, and media from all over the country gathered here to look forward to a digital feast on the night of the year 2000.
The protagonist of tonight is undoubtedly Legendary Technology. Founded less than two years ago, this small company has written a legend in the digital world with two lighter-sized digital products, MP3 and MP4. And tonight, they will once again present a brand new product to the world, the Meizu iPhone.
It's a phone.
Since the invention of the telephone, the importance of mobile phones to human beings has become more and more important day by day. Today, the telephone has become an indispensable part of people's lives from the original luxury. With the increasing demand for instant messaging functions, mobile communication devices - mobile phones have also begun to officially appear on the stage of history.
It took only a few years for mobile phones to go from invention to popularization. In the past few years, the development of mobile phones has changed with each passing day. From the bulky big brother at the beginning, to the digital mobile phone of GSM, in the past few years, the mobile phone has become smaller and smaller, but the function has become stronger and stronger. There is no doubt that in the foreseeable future, mobile phones will replace landlines as the preferred means of communication.
After satisfying the basic call function, people are gradually not satisfied with this, and people are increasingly demanding this call tool that can be easily carried around. And mobile phone manufacturers are also constantly innovating, giving mobile phones new functions and concepts. From the very beginning of the black and white screen. After the blue screen and color screen, from the original single chord, to the fourth chord, the sixteenth chord, from the beginning of the only call, to the later support for text messages, games, mobile phone manufacturers tried to add more entertainment elements to the mobile phone. Give your phone more features as a way to attract more interest in your phone.
However, compared to the development of mobile phones in later generations. Today's mobile phones are still only in a very primitive stage of development, especially in the era of feature phones, the concept of smart phones. Many mobile phone manufacturers don't have it at all.
Other mobile phone manufacturers don't have it, it doesn't mean that Liu Yufan doesn't either. As a time-traveler whose vision and concept have surpassed this era for more than ten years, Liu Yufan has a clear account in his heart for the development history of mobile phones. He has personally experienced the prosperity of the era of functional machines, and has also experienced the era of copycat machines, and has witnessed the historic moment of the elimination of functional machines by smart machines. It can be said that no one knows better than him about the future trend of the mobile phone market.
Originally, with his understanding of the economic development of later generations, no matter which industry was involved. will achieve good results, however, Jiang Ya's accident has made him have a conceptual change in the direction of future development. Money and power were not the most important things to him. The only obsession in his heart now is to kill Suo Mud and block every way it may survive. Now, Suo Ni's main business, PS games, video cameras and CD players, has basically been wiped out by legendary technology's almost malicious competition in the Chinese market. What Liu Yufan has to do now is to make the last move, using the powerful entertainment ability of smart phones to attract users' interest and attention to this area, so as to put all the products that Suo Ni is proud of into the cold palace!
Liu Yufan knew that his move was actually overturning a boatload of people with one rod. The early advent of smart phones will inevitably affect a large number of digital products and communication companies, but now he can't take care of so much, and dealing with Suo Ni Company has become his only obsession at present!
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, around the Beijing Workers' Stadium, the spotlights suddenly flashed, reflecting the huge stage in the center of the venue!
On the huge TV wall, under the sky blue background, a simple and beautiful LOGO flashes in it, and the white font is full of a taste of simple technology, which is exactly the words "Meizu iphone"!
Liu Yufan, who was holding the microphone, walked up to the stage from the side of the stage, and there were bursts of tsunami-like applause below. The advent of MP3 and MP4 has made him a hero and idol among digital enthusiasts. Many people are now loyal followers of Legendary Technology, and they are full of anticipation for this upcoming phone, but the parameters and functions are unknown.
Contrary to their expectations, the intelligence officers sent by the major digital companies are now facing the enemy one by one. They don't know what kind of phone Legend Tech is about to launch, if it is not much different from their phone function, then there is no problem, with the strength of their company, they are not worried about how much impact Legend Technology will have on them. However, if Legend Tech launches a mobile phone that has an overwhelming lead in some aspects, it will be a disaster for them. The previous hot sales of MP3 and MP4 have made these big companies regard legendary technology as a flood of beasts. No one wants such a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense to mix into his own market.
Looking at the audience in the dark, Liu Yufan was very satisfied with this effect. His heart was full of excitement and anticipation. After half a year of preparation, one of the sharpest spears that stabbed at Suo Ni and the world's digital world is finally about to be shot today.
After the applause subsided, Liu Yufan held the microphone and started a gorgeous performance with a smile.
"Good evening everyone, first of all, I would like to wish you all a happy new year. Today is the last day of the first year of the new millennium, and thank you for being here today to welcome the latest products from Legend Technologies, and I assure you that this evening will be worth your visit. Liu Yufan faced the audience of more than 40,000 people and said confidently.
"Hmph, I'm not ashamed, I want to see what you can do with a small company that has only been open for a few years." In the conference room, Zhaofu, chairman of Suo Ni Company, said coldly and disdainfully, but the nervousness in his eyes revealed his mood at the moment!
"God forbid, I hope this Chinese Liu has made a feature phone this time. Damn it. Just give me a year, no, give me half a year, and I can make Apple's iPhone. The originator of the smart machine should be me, not him! At the headquarters of Apple in the United States, Jobs also looked at the big screen with a nervous face, and it was not even worth blinking.
"What kind of mobile phone will this Chinese invent? Let's hope he doesn't plagiarize Nokia's patents. The country has a reputation for piracy. If he dares to do that, I'm going to take him to court! Steve, president of Nokia's headquarters in Finland, said in his heart.
Not only are these big foreign brands paying close attention to this new product launch conference of Legend Technology, but also some well-known domestic manufacturers. For example, Lenovo, Huawei, ZTE, etc., are also the bosses, and there are even chairmen of some companies. I went to the scene to watch the press conference in person, just to grasp the first-hand information.
On the stage, after Liu Yufan finished speaking an opening remark, he raised his arm sideways, and under his false guidance, the big screen suddenly changed, turning into an all-black background, and at the same time, a spotlight shot from the upper right, hitting the center of the screen, and at the position of the light point. A pure black mobile phone that exudes a mysterious and noble atmosphere suddenly appears.
At this moment, the spotlight on the stage has also been completely dimmed, and only a beam of chasing light hits Liu Yufan's body. Suddenly, people's eyes were attracted by the big screen on the stage.
"Next, allow me to introduce you to this new concept smartphone carefully crafted by legendary technology - Meizu iPhone". Liu Yufan faced the direction of the big screen. After finishing this not-so-long sentence with clear words, he immediately reached out and took out a black Meizu iPhone from his pocket.
"What a beautiful phone!" The moment they saw the real promotional pictures, many people sighed from the bottom of their hearts! Although the function of this mobile phone is not very clear now, it has conquered many people with only a 3.5-inch screen on its front and its simple and beautiful shape. In the audience who came to the scene today. Many people are digitally controlled. And for their group, appearance is an important criterion to measure whether a mobile phone can impress them. In the current market is monopolized by Nokia's straight keyboard machine and Samsung, Moto's clamshell machine, such a new style of mobile phone will undoubtedly attract people's attention!
Far away from the Pacific Ocean, the moment Jobs saw the mobile phone on the big screen, his pupils contracted violently, and his breathing became rapid!
"This~~ How did he come up with it!" Looking at the mobile phone on the screen, Jobs was a little unable to help himself, he had always been calm and unfazed, but at this moment he almost got up from the conference table!
The phone is simply too beautifully designed. From the first time he saw it, Jobs knew it was the perfect phone for him! Maybe others will think that this mobile phone is a little incredible when they see that the screen is empty, and there is not even a single button, but for him, the application of touch technology on mobile phones has already formed a concept in his head a year ago!
"What kind of phone is this? Where is the keyboard? This won't be a large MP4. At the headquarters of Suo Ni Company, a director looked at the mobile phone displayed by Liu Yufan on the screen and said mockingly.
His words immediately caused a chorus of echo, and many people had a look of surprise on their faces.
"A bunch of!" Zhao Fu looked at these reactions of his subordinates, and cursed in his heart. At the same time, a very bad feeling welled up in his heart, because he faintly thought of a possibility.
"This phone is pretty, but where are its buttons, it won't be a flip design. But if it's a clamshell, when you turn it up, doesn't the screen go to the back? At the Workers' Stadium, an audience member looked at the new mobile phone and asked a little strangely.
"Don't worry, let's see. The MP3 and MP4 designed by Legend Tech are so good, and this phone definitely has its own merits, and it won't be that simple. An enthusiast next to him prompted.
"This phone doesn't even have a button, no, the round thing underneath it looks like a key, but with just one key, you can't operate a phone anyway. Could it be ~~~" A more senior digital enthusiast looked at his mobile phone and was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of a possibility that made him excited.
"Third child, what are you excited about. What do you see? A buddy next to him asked a little puzzled when he saw that he suddenly showed excitement.
"Tiezi, you see there's only one physical button on this phone, and it doesn't look like a flip phone, do you know what that means?" The digital enthusiast who was called the third child by a friend just now said with some excitement.
"I don't know. I don't understand it, how does this work? Tiezi asked with a confused expression.
"Touch technology!" The third child only answered these four words, and then stared at the stage again.
"Damn! No, I can't. I've only seen this thing in a science fiction movie, but can you use such advanced features on your phone? And it's also a domestic mobile phone, which is too mysterious. Tiezi heard these four words. Immediately shouted exaggeratedly.
"Hehe, if it's another company, I think it's a bit mysterious, but what kind of company is Legend Tech? Think about his previous MP3 and MP4, which was not something that seemed incredible at the time? Isn't it all a reality? If you want me to say, this phone might be the same. If you really use this technology, nothing else, as long as it sells for no more than 10,000 yuan, buddy will definitely get one, and you can operate it little by little with your fingers. That's a lot of. The third child said expectantly.
"Damn, come on, you rich second generation, you're angry here again. It really sells more than 10,000 units, and people like you can afford it. We, the poor, don't have to think about it. Tetsuko said with a sigh.
This mobile phone with a unique design obviously aroused great interest in the audience, and people speculated about how this mobile phone with such a huge screen with only a button like a button would be able to achieve its operation.
didn't let the audience wait for a long time, Liu Yufan on the stage opened his mouth first.
"I'm sure you've noticed. This phone is not quite the same as our previous phone, it doesn't seem to have the familiar keyboard, so how do you do it? Looking at the puzzled looks of everyone in the audience, Liu Yufan did not sell it, but said directly: "The reason why we didn't design traditional buttons is because we have used a revolutionary technology on this new Meizu iPhone - capacitive touch technology!" ”
"Wow, it's really touch technology, it's amazing!"
"Capacitive touch? What kind of technology is this? ”
"Touch technology? This phone can be operated directly by touching the screen with your hands? ”
Liu Yufan's words immediately caused an uproar in the audience!
Compared with the excitement of these ordinary audiences, the chairmen of those large companies have extremely ugly faces! Capacitive touch technology is no stranger to them, and although it has not yet been marketed, it is not too cutting-edge technology in the industry. It's just that no one thought that it would be put in the mobile phone. Because the screen of the mobile phone is too small, there are many technical difficulties to overcome to achieve the miniaturization of capacitive touch, and secondly, the current feature phone is the time of hot sales, everyone is busy making money, and there is no great interest in technological innovation. Unexpectedly, this legendary technology actually used this technology on mobile phones from the beginning!
How much impact this technology will have on the existing mobile phone industry, each of them knows very well in their hearts.
"Alright, now I'm going to show you." Liu Yufan said, pointing the phone at the audience, and at the same time, a high-definition camera was also aimed at his hand, and the picture was immediately projected on the huge screen behind Liu Yufan.
"This is the unlocking screen of the phone, you just need to touch the screen with the skin of your finger, and then gently swipe the phone, the phone can be easily unlocked." Liu Yufan said, his right index finger lightly swiped on the screen, and the icon with the lock logo on the screen smoothly followed his hand and slid to the other side of the screen, and then, the screen was gorgeously dynamically zoomed and immediately returned to the desktop state.
"Wow, this screen is amazing! It's huge! ”
"You can unlock it with a finger swipe, this function is so good!"
It's just that this simple little operation is like a small pebble thrown into the calm lake, causing an uproar!
Looking at the reaction of the audience, Liu Yufan was very satisfied. Although touch technology is not too advanced technology in later generations, and has even become the standard configuration of smart phones, but in the current era, in all mobile phones on the market are still stuck in the era of 2-inch screens, physical buttons, monochrome or simple color displays, this is equipped with capacitive touch technology3.5-inch 160,000 true color, with 320*480 resolution screen, is definitely a screen with a dreamy atmosphere!
"Let me give you an introduction to the hardware configuration of this mobile phone. The first is this screen. Many friends have noticed that the screen of this phone is huge, so how big is it? Liu Yufan said this, paused, looked around the scene before continuing: "This mobile phone uses an IPS hard screen 320*480 resolution screen, and the front of the screen uses a whole piece of plexiglass, which increases the operating feel of the mobile phone under the condition of ensuring the smoothness of operation." Dryly talking about these parameters, maybe you will not have an intuitive understanding of the screen of this mobile phone, and I will show you a few pictures with this mobile phone below. Liu Yufan said, his finger touched the screen, and clicked on the "Gallery" icon. Suddenly, after a gorgeous zoom, the phone entered the gallery interface.
With the tap of a finger again, the rows of photos suddenly switched to a single display mode, and a delicate peony flower appeared on the big screen! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
