Chapter 204: Advancing in an All-round Way
"No wonder Chen Dong doesn't need a watch..."
Users who have already bought Stardust smart watches are wailing in the Stardust community, not that Chen Zifan does not pay attention to the products classified by smart watches, but that he has no need for this aspect at all, so what else can he wear if he doesn't need it?
Look at the time?
Check your heart rate and blood pressure?
Or do you do sports?
Even one of the core functions of the Stardust smart watch: sleep monitoring is not used, because Chen Zifan does not like to wear jewelry when he sleeps, and he usually doesn't like it, let alone when he sleeps.
But he can't deny that there is indeed a considerable number of consumers who have this demand, according to his observation, the proportion of people who wear jewelry and those who do not wear jewelry is basically five or five, and almost everyone in the female group wears jewelry.
Of course, this is just his one-sided observation, because from his point of view, he can't observe the female groups at the bottom, such as housewives.
Another example is the far away in the countryside...
Products like smart watches are purely based on personal hobbies and choices, and Stardust smart watches are currently the products with the highest seven-day no-reason return rate of Stardust Technology, because it will really get tired of using it quickly.
Many consumers return after three days of fumbling for the function, but there are also some smart watch enthusiasts who think about how to stuff something new into it every day, such as watching movies and playing games on smart watches.
Or buy N straps and change them every day.
Stardust smart watch belongs to the "icing on the cake" category of products in Chen Zifan's product planning, but its product life may be longer than that of tablets and laptops, who can say for sure?
As for the screen-off display on the smartphone, this is not a too difficult technology, that is, there may be a risk of screen burning after long-term opening, and the power consumption is relatively large, but screen burning is only a risk...
From Stardust 1→ Stardust 3+, plus Stardust-Chenji, the screen-burning mobile phones processed in the feedback data of Stardust after-sales service have not exceeded 1000 units, and the total sales of Stardust mobile phones have exceeded 100 million units, and this kind of yield rate is exaggerated to the extreme in the entire mobile phone era.
Unless it is used in extreme environments, or the quality of the screen itself is problematic, it is unlikely that the screen will be burned even if the mobile phone is scrapped.
Instead of worrying about screen burning, it is better to worry that the screen may have a yellowish color cast after a long time.
But ordinary people can't see it~
As soon as many people in the Stardust community discussed, they focused on the most important thing:
Mobile payments.
At present, the popularity of mobile payment is very fast, but for people in many areas, using mobile phones to send and pay makes them feel very insecure, and they do not have the sense of steadiness that can be seen and touched with paper money.
This requires banks and other institutions to take the lead, Stardust Technology only provides products and some publicity channels, and the real promoter behind it has to look at the official.
Therefore, whether it is in the Stardust community or other social software, netizens from all over the world show fear, excitement, or indifference to mobile payment, which cannot stop the subsequent wave of the times.
It's just that Chen Zifan went out this time, which made many people mistakenly think that Stardust Technology was the driving force behind it, but in fact, Stardust Technology can only be regarded as an auxiliary at best.
Anyway, Chen Zifan won't care too much about how others discuss, just have a special person to deal with it.
He is more concerned about the product problems of Stardust Technology, if Stardust 4 → Stardust 5 are updated every two years, it is okay, there can be more buffer time, but if it is only every other year... You have to prepare early.
Although according to the current situation, the Stardust 4 series will be launched in June 2010, and the Stardust 5 series will most likely be launched in June 2012, but this is not necessarily a good choice.
The price of electronic products has fallen very fast, even Stardust Technology, a player with almost no premium, is a little unable to bear two years, the update is good, if the strength is not large... Everyone is going to buy the old model after the price reduction, who will buy the new machine?
And the time of the middle year is also
It has to rely on special models and other products to support sales, so the progress of Stardust Technology's research and development of products must be accelerated, two generations of products must be developed in advance, and then the final market time will be determined according to the market situation.
In short, continuous research and development is over~
AR glasses are a key product, after adding iris recognition and infrared scanning, as well as the original NFC and other functions, it can do more.
But after all, it is still not complete, and after the first batch of samples comes down, Chen Zifan still has to consider how to "control", with the current level of technology, there are only two ways to do it: touch and voice.
The incomplete voice assistant may have to be launched in advance, but it will be a pain for those consumers who can't speak ordinary hair... But if you're not in a hurry, you can also wait for the first batch of dialects on the voice assistant's side to be collected.
It is certainly not realistic to collect all the dialects, but it is enough to include all the mainstream dialects into the voice assistant, and it stands to reason that it doesn't matter if the dialects are included or not, and it will "waste" a lot of manpower and material costs.
But from Chen Zifan's point of view, Stardust Technology is a domestic brand after all, and it is also a technology company with a "façade" nature, if they don't do it, then other companies will not do it.
In addition to AR glasses, the most important thing at present is definitely the Stardust notebook, known as the "Shengong Generation", the nine-core CPU Shengong 1 progress is much faster than Chen Zifan imagined, and the progress in graphics cards is even faster.
The person in charge of Changhe chip engineering is so obsessed with independent GPUs that Chen Zifan just arranged the work last time, and he almost got the first batch of experiments in just one month, but unfortunately something went wrong later.
Otherwise, Chen Zifan may have to witness a miracle, Nvidia and AMD are still torturing each other, and they will be stolen by Stardust Technology when they turn their heads? And the first time you get a graphics card that's more than a year ahead of them?
Who can stand this?
Fortunately, the Stardust notebook will be listed first, so it is not so shocking, originally Chen Zifan wanted to continue to see the progress of the Stardust notebook, such as molds, etc., but Zhao Wuxian sent a new message:
"Apple 4 released!"
Chen Zifan: ???
What the hell!?
Apple 4?
Jobs only released two generations of Apple mobile phones before Jobs, why did this fast forward to Apple 4?
Chen Zifan took the document and looked at it-
Only then did I find out that this Apple 4 is not the other Apple 4, this generation of Apple 4 made by Cook, Jonathan and others... If you just watch the promotional video, there is even a taste of Apple X, 5.8-inch large notch screen.
"Is it really an Apple X?"
Wrong! It's Apple XR!
After all, there is only one camera in the back, and the Apple X is a dual camera, which doesn't look so bumpy.
But it's still not right, right?
How could a person like Jobs, who pursues perfection, accept a big notch screen? Didn't you say that this phone was designed by him before he didn't have a karma? How could it be like this? And look at that big black border...
It's really thick and dark!
Does it affect the perception very well?
Stardust Technology has made the black bar 1.5
The low-priced models of Meizu Blue and Redmi are also ready to be updated, or within 1,000 yuan, which can only be said to be usable, and the gap between them and the ease of use is still a bit big..."
Many other new brands are mainly selling online, there are fewer offline physical stores, and there are fewer after-sales points.
To Chen Zifan's surprise, the sales of Haier mobile phones increased very quickly in the first month, an increase of 23% over the previous month, and a brief look at several of their models, good guys, are all exports.
There is no domestic sales.
It's also interesting to say,Haier really has a lot of meddling in the field of electronic products,In Chen Zifan's memory,From pseudo smart machines to smart machines,Even laptops have been done,Raytheon computer relies on Haier。
But their products...
In terms of mobile phones, computers
It's really a bit general, especially the Thor computer, the price is directly benchmarked against the first-line brand, but in the logo and appearance design, there is always a suspicion of imitating aliens, and the pattern looks like it kills Matt, no wonder the sales are relatively average.
After paying attention to it briefly, Chen Zifan put this document behind him, but before Zhao Wuxian left, he still said, "Collect the recently popular or distinctive models, I will be useful."
"No problem."
It is also a lot of fun to study the model of the competitor, and by the way, you can also learn a little experience from it and see how the current level of the competitor is.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zifan continued to deal with the work of the Stardust notebook, and the outside world did not know that Stardust Technology was preparing to enter the PC market, and they were all guessing the configuration of the Stardust 4 series models.
and whether air charging is good or not.
Chen Zifan can say very responsibly that air charging is definitely better than any wired and wireless charging method in his memory, but it is not popular for the time being, so he can only start with the "exploration model" first.
It would be better if the outside world didn't think of it.
Stardust notebook may not have anything else, but the appearance is absolutely mastered, Chen Zifan made a phone call, and 10 minutes later, the two versions of the stardust notebook model machine were delivered to his office.
They are 14 and 16 inches.
The same white body, the same lightweight glass A side, the same magnesium aluminum alloy B, C, D side... It's just that there aren't many places where metal is used on the B-side, because the screen-to-body ratio is too high, and the difference between the two versions is that the 14-inch does not have a numeric keypad.
There is a 16-inch version.
This can't be helped, the 14-inch body is already very small, and it will be very crowded to make a numeric keypad.
It's a pity that there are only model machines now.,The inside of the fuselage is filled with stuff.,There's no way to light up the screen to see the specific screen-to-body ratio、How about the keyboard effect, etc.。
In the final price, the 16-inch version will be 200~500 yuan more expensive than the 14-inch, the 16-inch screen is larger, and the 14-inch is lighter and more convenient.
Just look at the actual demand and choose.
After briefly playing with the model machine, Chen Zifan set his sights on the PC version of Stardust OS.
The layout of the PC side of Stardust OS is very similar to in10, and the operation logic is also a bit similar to indos, a bit like the proxular version of the existing indos, since it is necessary to open the PC market, Chen Zifan is impossible to engage in a new set of logic.
Consumers are lazy, they don't want to learn...
Unless you can't learn it.
It's better to directly block the way of a wave of indos, and the underlying logic, system optimization, and security of Stardust OS itself are far more than indos that are full of viruses at this stage, as for the problem of software adaptation - who said that the two systems are incompatible?
What indos can do, Stardust OS can also do, but what Stardust OS can do, indos is not necessarily, for the sake of insurance, Chen Zifan also refined a wave of PC versions of Stardust OS from [Stardust Technology] [Analysis Copycat] + [Synthesis Creation].
Ensure that the Stardust notebook can make a name for itself as soon as it is launched and make sales.
