Chapter 81: The Plan
The news revealed by the digital breaking news station also attracted the attention of many netizens, and also brought enough prestige to Zhou Zhen.
Of course, in addition to the fire dragon 845 chip, which most netizens pay the most attention to, there is also a new image flagship of Ju Factory.
When Juchang was still in the Android camp, it had four major advantages over domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
And these four advantages have also prompted Juchang to become the first high-end successful brand in China.
The first advantage is the extremely powerful communication technology.
After all, the main business of the chrysanthemum factory is communication technology, and the communication technology of the chrysanthemum factory belongs to the world's leading level.
The second advantage is the excellent level of hardware optimization and the corresponding product design strength.
Among all the manufacturers in China, the best hardware optimization is the chrysanthemum factory, because of the very good level of optimization, so that users can have a more comfortable experience.
Secondly, the chrysanthemum factory is very innovative in the design and appearance of the entire flagship product, and has a corresponding recognition in the entire mobile phone industry.
The third advantage is naturally the natural processor chip.
After more than 10 years of hard work, HiSilicon Kirin processor chips have finally become the industry's first-class processor chips.
And under the optimization of the software team, it can give full play to the performance of the processor chip, and at the same time maintain the excellent power consumption of the processor chip.
And the fourth advantage is naturally the advantage of chrysanthemum factory image photography.
Take the P20Pro, which is about to be released by Ju Factory, which is equipped with an IMX600 sensor customized by Ju Factory from Sony.
The IMX600 sensor has a 1/1.73-inch sensor capable of taking 4-in-1 40-megapixel HD photos with up to 1.0um per pixel.
You must know that it is now 18 years, and in 18 years, the processor chips released by various mobile phone manufacturers are basically 12 million pixels of Sony IMX3 series sensors, and the bottom of each sensor is no more than 1/2 inch.
Even in 19 years, the most commonly used sensor Sony IMX586 of various Android flagships is only 1/2 inch, and the unit pixel is only 0.8un level.
Not to mention that in 2020, in addition to the top flagships of each company, the bottom of the public version of Sony IMX686 and IMX682 is only 1/1.79 inch, and the unit pixel is only 0.8um.
This also means that the P20Pro's new sensor camera is the flagship of the first half of 18, killing a number of 18 and 19 flagship phones.
Even if you go a little further, the non-flagship models (below 3500) that have been in 20 years have been killed in seconds, and the vast majority of cost-effective and mid-range mobile phones in 21 to 22 years have been killed.
An 18-year-old camera, after five years, is still the best camera in the industry.
The IMX700 sensor, which was released in 2020, is still a ceiling-level image sensor even for three years.
Even Rice, in the big cup version of the digital series three years later, still chose the IMX707, a revised version of the IMX700, as the sensor.
One main camera, five years out of style!
A main camera, three years and still at the top!
"Far ahead of your peers!"
This sentence, which was often on Yu Dazui's lips, was always ridiculed by netizens for official bragging at the time.
But with the situation of the chrysanthemum factory in the future and the rotten Android market, netizens who came back to their senses found that this sentence was not a lie.
"All manufacturers are denying the chrysanthemum factory, but they all want to become the chrysanthemum factory!"
This has also become the word of many users complaining about other Android manufacturers.
Of course, Zhou Zhen is also quite envious of the chrysanthemum factory now.
After all, the Sony IMX600 sensor is invincible in the current mobile phone industry.
Even this sensor was a god-like existence 20 years ago.
However, it is a pity that the supply chain of the current Rupai company behind Zhou Zhen can only get the image sensor of the public version, which also makes Zhou Zhen a little helpless.
Although Zhou Zhen has been accumulating for almost a year, he has accumulated a lot of supply chain channels.
However, Zhou Zhen's own qualifications are still shallow, and the Roupai company behind him has just been established, and what he can get is basically some public supply chain components.
Like those top-notch components, it basically takes a lot of money and effort to get them, and whether these components are supplied to manufacturers also depends on the willingness of supply chain manufacturers.
The manufacturers of the supply chain will choose whether to provide the core technology to the manufacturers according to the strength and corresponding influence of the mobile phone manufacturers they cooperate with.
Rouyu's folding screen project is a very typical example.
The folding screen is a screen design with a very high degree of integration, and Rouyu Company finally chose to cooperate with the chrysanthemum factory, which has a good reputation in the high-end market.
There are only a few reasons why Rou Yu looks at the chrysanthemum factory.
First, Juchang has enough high-end users among domestic brands.
Second, the chrysanthemum factory has a very good ability to integrate components, basically the components added to the folding screen this time will definitely not fall grade.
Third, Juchang has a very strong software team, which can adapt the large-screen software application of the folding screen.
This is also the most important reason why Zhou Zhen chose to cooperate with Juchang to make folding screens together.
After all, in addition to the corresponding hardware advantages, the folding screen also needs the adaptation of software applications, and at present, among the domestic brands, there are only chrysanthemum manufacturers who can have such a level of adaptation.
And if Rouyu makes her own folding screen, it is a self-destructive choice.
First of all, Rouyu has no user and brand base, and it cannot make users willing to pay more money to buy folding screen mobile phones.
If the mobile phone can't be sold and the inventory is piled up, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the company.
Secondly, the supply chain that Rouyu now has cannot make other components of the product reach a high standard, so that other configurations of the product cannot support the high-end price.
The most important point is that Rouyu does not have a strong enough software team to make the mobile phone system a perfect device, which will eventually greatly reduce the user's experience.
It is precisely these reasons that made Zhou Zhen choose to cooperate with Juchang.
Of course, the current Rouyu company and the chrysanthemum factory are actively carrying out corresponding design and planning for the folding screen project, and it is expected that the product will officially appear in front of consumers at the end of this year.
Zhou Zhen, as a partner of the project, also got some clear news!
This time, in addition to using its own company's excellent R3 material OLED screen, the folding product project will also use the charging IC production designed by Yuzhen Company.
The plan is to make the battery capacity of the product reach 4500 mAh, and the charging power of the mobile phone is tentatively set at 40W.
The phone's processor chip will be equipped with the Kirin 980, and the rear camera will use Sony's IMX600, a top-of-the-line sensor lens.
With the blessing of the strength of the chrysanthemum factory, it makes the folding screen mobile phone look very competitive this time.
Of course, when the two sides negotiated the corresponding agreement, they also said that the folding screen mobile phone of the chrysanthemum factory this time will add the logo of Rouyu under the logo of the chrysanthemum factory.
It can also be regarded as proving to users that the folding screen mobile phone is a product jointly designed by two companies, Juchang and Rouyu.
In addition to paying attention to Rouyu's work, Zhou Zhen also pays attention to the two companies under his hand, Roupai and Yuzhen.
From December to February, after about two months, the Hallo G98H, jointly designed by MediaTek and Yuzhen, is also somewhat shapely.
Hallo G98H is estimated to be officially designed in early March, and it will be able to go to tape-out trial production under MediaTek's arrangement in April.
Of course, TSMC's 10nm process is relatively mature, and the probability of success in tape-out is basically close to 100%.
After passing the tape-out, large-scale production can be carried out, and Zhou Zhen expects his company to get the first batch of chips produced in early June.
Although it will have to wait until June, in fact, the company will be able to get some samples of chips in April after tape-out.
After all, upstream component manufacturers will give manufacturers some samples before supplying components, and these samples are mainly used by manufacturers to adapt in advance.
This also means that at the end of April, Roupai can test the G98H chip, and begin to test and adjust the chip accordingly.
Strive to be able to optimize this chip to a level that is basically usable or even not difficult to use.
After all, MediaTek's processor chips, except for the Berry family, I am afraid that few can be tuned well.
