Chapter 57: The Phantom of the Sea Market
Some heavy users even have more than 10 hours of mobile phone screen on every day, and under this kind of high-intensity use, Stardust 1's battery is useless even if it is a top two, not to mention that it can't directly replace the battery.
If you charge while using it, with a charging power of 5, the charging speed is not only slow, but also the experience of using the charging cable is particularly poor.
Chen Zifan has experienced the era of comprehensive development of smart phones, and the charging power of some mobile phone manufacturers has even dried up to 240, which has alleviated battery life anxiety to a certain extent, but the power consumption speed has also become faster.
In the Stardust community, there are many discussions about mobile phone power every day, and a special topic is also opened:
"I can't help it, I just can't help it, I always want to see if anyone has sent me a button, but when I open it, there is nothing but group messages."
"Now as soon as I take out my phone at home, my mother scolds me: Don't play with your broken phone, see how myopic your eyes are?"
"It's good that I live alone, no one talks about me, but I can't help but stay up late, stay up late every day, and go to work the next day in a trance..."
"Me too, I can't help staying up late, and when I wake up the next morning, my eyes are very sore, and there are double visions..."
"At first glance, it's a fruit cutting player!"
「……」
As a result, there are various Internet masters who have jumped out to popularize Taoist culture, recuperate, and popularize Buddhism to be pure with six roots, and even some speech videos of "hatred of iron does not make steel" and "jealousy and hatred".
"Smartphones are ruining us! No life is complete without struggle! The days of not fighting are a waste of time! Think of your family..."
There are not a few similar chicken soup literature, the smartphone is just a disguise, it can be replaced with any kind of martial arts, television, game console, computer, in fact, the starting point of this kind of chicken soup is good.
It has also been very sought after, because in this era, most ordinary people are flattering money and power, and countless stories of grassroots rising to become bigwigs from all walks of life are around, and everyone is working hard stimulatingly.
But if someone says that they don't make money by doing any work, they don't work hard; But if someone says that their academic performance is not good, they still haven't worked hard; Why should anyone else do it, but you can't? Isn't it hard work?
Even Chen Zifan's case was picked up by some newspaper media, and he was warned by the official when he was just about to report it, so it did not form a large-scale publicity.
It's a pity that this radical way has directly led to the birth of a large number of success masters in the near future, and even the airport is putting success chicken soup.
Of course, few people care about the remarks about attacking smartphones, just like Apple products in the future, don't say anything about SE, iPad standard version cheats, clears inventory, scolds, and sales are still high.
It's the same with smartphones, it's hard to make some money, who doesn't want to buy a better phone to play around, what? Can it be used? Is the key function of Stardust 1 and other brands the same level?
In the Stardust Forum, everyone just complained about the problem of fast running out of power and slow charging of mobile phones, as for staying up late in a trance, and having sore eyes after watching for a long time...
That's not a problem, the mobile phone is not bought for use, is it still not possible to provide it to the ancestors?
Fast power consumption, slow charging, Chen Zifan solves such a problem, first increase the battery specification of Stardust 2 to 3300 mAh, and then increase the fast charging power, it doesn't need to be fast, 20 fast charging is enough.
In addition, Stardust 2 also has to add something that Stardust 1 does not have: front camera, this thing is a big killer, not only selfie solved, but also try to engage in beauty algorithms, face recognition, etc.
At the same time, it will increase the attraction of female consumers and further expand the market share of Stardust mobile phones.
"Therefore, the focus of the upgrade of Stardust 2 is to expand the size, upgrade the charging port, increase the charging power, add the front camera, improve the quality of the rear camera, and then add new functions through the Stardust OS upgrade!"
Just do it, Chen Zifan came directly to the private laboratory in the core area of the Stardust factory, and began to design the Stardust 2 model machine, due to the addition of the front camera, the front face is basically the same as the Stardust 1.
"Up
Equal width of the inferior, equal narrow of the left and right..."
"In order to ensure visual integration, the camera also needs to be specially blackened..."
"Continuing the rear camera design of Stardust 1, still choose the metal middle frame + glass cover..."
"According to the data feedback, although the shiny glass cover is not resistant to fingerprints, the sales volume is higher..."
Frosted glass is indeed more practical, but it lacks a bit in texture, not "high-end" enough.
Stardust 2 is equivalent to the enlargement + upgrade of Stardust 1, but the starting price will not change, it is still 3999, and then Stardust 1 users may have a sense of "backstabbing", which is also a helpless thing.
The upgrading of electronic products itself is very fast, and the strategy of Stardust Technology choosing to update every year is relatively slow, and it is impossible to choose the same tactics as Android manufacturers to create high-quality products.
Think about the Apple phone and ipad that "Brother Kidney Machine" sacrificed his waist in exchange for back then, and he could get one for dozens of dollars in the seafood market later, but he himself was bedridden for ten years and suffered a lot of suffering...
"You must be sensible when it comes to electronic products, but if one day, Stardust mobile phones become the rulers of the smartphone market, and they can also reduce the frequency of updates..."
I don't care about the upgrades of Stardust 2, with the workmanship and quality of Stardust 1, it is no problem to use it for more than three years, and in addition to Stardust 2, you can also choose another product next: Stardust Tablet.
Chen Zifan is not ready to follow the original historical development trajectory, first expand from a small screen to a large screen, and there will be a long period of disconnection in the middle, but he is ready to come up directly and make a 10.8-inch tablet.
"This size of the right-angle frame + CNC cutting chamfer, and then equipped with a magnetic protective case, magnetic keyboard, capacitive stylus... However, the hardware is not the difficulty, the focus is on the adaptation of Stardust OS..."
This is already attacking the laptop market in disguise, if Stardust OS is taking this opportunity to launch some dedicated office software, Stardust tablet will be more comprehensive, more than just a drama artifact.
"I have to inform Zhao Wuxian to put some pressure on the Internet companies we work with, no matter how slow they are, they can't keep up with our hardware development..."
Bitter Jobs, he still doesn't know what kind of situation Apple will face after entering the Chinese market, Apple to build Apple 1 at the same time, Stardust Technology has begun to prepare for next year's products.
After solving the product design, the next thing to be solved is accessories, technical problems, about accessories, Stardust Technology has its own channels, Chen Zifan informed Zhao Wuxian to contact the supplier who has been cooperating.
Then began to customize the accessories according to the product size, because no similar products had been produced before, the accessories of Stardust 2 and Stardust Flat had to be re-molded.
These suppliers were dumbfounded after hearing Chen Zifan's request: "Hasn't Stardust 1 just opened the mold, and it has only been a few days, and they have to make a new mold?"
But they all signed non-disclosure agreements, knew what to ask and what not to ask, and just looked at the oversized frosted glass drawings and fell into deep thought...
"Do you have such a big phone?"
"Could it be an oversized MP4?"
"What should have such a big case? Could it be that Stardust Technology is going to make a portable TV?"
"It's not impossible..."
Then Chen Zifan found Wang Jinli again: "I need you to help me find a keyboard manufacturer with trustworthy strength and quality to customize a batch of keyboards..."
"Hiss~ no problem."
As for whether these suppliers will leak the news... They are also professional, unless Stardust Technology deliberately releases some information about the accessories of new products in their name, which is about the same.
Therefore, more than ten years later, the so-called "industry insiders" and "supply chain news" were all actively released by mobile phone manufacturers to attract a group of traffic.
As soon as the two main products of Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet are established, the busiest are not the suppliers, but the Stardust Network, who not only have to update Stardust 1, but also adapt Stardust 2 and Tablet.
In the Stardust Network Building, An He looked at Stardust, who was already busy and crazy
The OS engineer couldn't help but feel a lingering feeling: "It's good that I chose to make games instead of continuing to make systems, otherwise I would have been bald this year..."
Look at the engineer in charge of Stardust OS, there is no one who does not lose hair, and there is a saying circulating within the Stardust Network: The less hair, the stronger the strength, only the bald boss is worthy of Stardust OS...
In contrast, the game project team in charge of An He is much more relaxed, and they are currently specializing in a racing game called "Mirage", which was originally called "Glimpse of the Mirage" or "Mirage".
As you can see from the name, this is a dishonest racing game, with no straight theme, and names similar to "Horizon", "Need for Speed", "Speed Ride", "Simulation Driving", etc.
"Mirage of the Sea City" is more like an infinite test drive in terms of gameplay, with a relatively open virtual map, and the story is set in the sea area 120 kilometers away from the sea city, there is a giant floating city.
Players can start the game by receiving a single villa in the floating city, with an initial capital of 50,000 yuan, and can choose to rent different cars at the brand car store in the floating city to participate in the racing competition in the floating city.
This allows you to further obtain funds to buy cars, motorcycles, electric cars, or renovate your own single villa, and of course, there is not only one way to get funds, but also to complete some exploration tasks...
In the gameplay SH City Phantom" is more in line with the local culture of China, but at the level of production... It's much worse than the Infinite Test Drive that will be released next year, which is also something that can't be helped, after all, it's a mobile game.
The stitching chip on Stardust 1 doesn't have that strong image rendering ability at all, even the Dimensity 200 that Stardust Technology and MediaTek are developing can't do, so the main thing is that the simulator is real...
If you want to pursue picture quality, the current hardware level is really not up to standard, and the completion of "Haishi Phantom" is actually quite high, and the news has not been released for a long time, because it still has to come to several rounds of investment investment.
