Recall that it has been a year and a half since the release of products such as Stardust 3, Stardust 3+, and Stardust-Chenji, although the Stardust 4 series has not yet been released, Stardust Technology seems to have really done it every two years.

can not update its flagship products for such a long time, but still dominate the sales list, you can imagine how terrifying Stardust Technology's current channel strength is.

It also reflects that the product power of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ is really outrageously strong, and other mobile phone brands really want to surpass it, so they can only watch it.

No matter how good the product is, it has been sold for a year and a half, and there has been no limited edition of cut leeks, and consumers are really a little aesthetically fatigued, starting in June this year, the sales of Stardust 3+ and Stardust-Chenji have been declining.

It's just that the decline is not large, and occasionally it will pick up because of some holiday activities.

Stardust 3's sales have been stable and explosive, it is a bit similar to Apple's 11, 12, 13 and other models, and it will not be too affected by the updating, but it is more cost-effective after the replacement and price reduction.

The strategy of changing every two years has not reduced the popularity of Stardust Technology, but has filled it with a sense of expectation.

Countless consumers are looking forward to it, speculating what kind of "ruthless work" Chen Zifan will come up with next year.

If the Stardust 1→3 series is the history of the rise of Stardust technology, and the glorious history of smartphones from scratch and quickly becoming a complete body, then the Stardust 4 series is definitely the beginning of a new era of Stardust technology.

While Chen Zifan is handling other work, the products of the Stardust 4 series have also been in the development stage.

At present, the final mass production version is only one step away, after all, there is still about half a year to be released, and the sales of the Stardust series of mobile phones are often tens of millions of units, how can it not be prepared early?

Zhao Wuxian also suggested that Chen Zifan can directly plan the Stardust 5 series, take one step and see three steps, plan in advance and prepare in advance, and save at least the previous generation of products, so that he will not be afraid when he encounters risks in the future.

But Chen Zifan did not choose to do this, not to mention that the Stardust 5 series will not be available for a long time, the most important thing is that he still needs about a year to unlock some of the technologies in [Stardust Technology], so as to further improve the product power.

However, there must be nothing wrong with what Zhao Wuxian said.

A lot of things do have to be prepared in advance.

Chen Zifan was thinking on the road, while driving his "queen" Xinghan mini to the stardust factory, the current stardust factory can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes compared with two years ago, the factory area alone has increased by more than four times, not to mention the production capacity.

The semi-automated production line is very good, and the planning in the factory area is even more well-organized.

Although the product replacement speed of Stardust Technology has slowed down, the upgrading speed of production equipment is fast! On average, there is a small update every three months, and a batch of "old" devices will be eliminated in about half a year.

The obsolete "old" equipment will also be sold in various forms to continue to create secondary income for Stardust Technology, in addition to the Stardust factory in Haicheng, Stardust Technology has also built two large factories in other cities.

One is in the mountain city, and the other is in Pengcheng.

The coverage area is very wide~

In terms of capacity, there is no problem at all.

According to estimates, the three factories can produce 2.5 mobile phones in one second and 216,000 mobile phones in a day when the three factories are at full fire.

That month...

This is the real "super factory".

Of course, in Chen Zifan's memory, Apple's foundry production capacity at its peak was even more fierce than this, and the sales of hundreds of millions of units at every turn were really unable to catch up with the current Stardust Technology.

Many workers in the Stardust factory don't understand, what is the purpose of Stardust Technology to increase production capacity and upgrade technology? The reason is also very simple, the higher the production capacity, the more free up your hands to do other things.

Stardust Technology doesn't just sell mobile phones...

After Chen Zifan passed through the production area of the Stardust Factory, he came to his destination, a factory that specializes in R&D technology and experimental stage products.

Most of the technology of Stardust Technology is actually taken out of his consciousness [Stardust Technology], and then sent to the R&D personnel through a series of packaging, it stands to reason that there is no need for further research and development, but technology alone is not enough, and the distance from theory to reality is also very far.

Without practice, who knows what the finished product will look like? What is the character that does not meet expectations?

But Chen Zifan can guarantee that in the experimental stage, Stardust Technology can take at least 90% fewer detours than other manufacturers, which is also his biggest source of confidence.

As soon as Chen Zifan entered the factory, whether it was an employee or a cadre, he would say hello as long as he was free:

"Hello Chen Dong!"

"Mr. Chen..."

"Chen Dong is handsome again today~"

Chen Zifan: ......

Surface: Calm fixed head (●_●)

Inside: Quick! A few more words ()

However, he didn't come to listen to the staff shoot rainbow farts, but needed to get the latest progress of the Stardust 4 series products, and by the way, see how the actual machine was.

He immediately found a project leader:

"I remember the last time I came here was two months ago, when Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ were already doing the final debugging, how is the progress now?"

The person in charge is named Kitano Menglin, which sounds very similar to Xiao Ri's name, but in fact it is not, Kitano is a very unpopular surname, which is said to have originated from the official position of the Western Zhou Dynasty, when she first came to Stardust Technology, Chen Zifan also paid a little attention to it.

What impressed him the most was:

Kitano Menglin had too many certificates to count, and most of them he had never seen at all.

At that time, he once again realized how outrageous the excellent people in this world are, fortunately he was hanging, otherwise he would have relied on his own efforts and wanted to develop all the way from the bottom to the present... That's simply not possible.

But he won't be presumptuous~

Kitano Menglin briefly introduced the current situation: "At present, the completion of Stardust 4 is infinitely close to 100%, only the final determination of mass production is enough, Stardust 4+ still needs to be adjusted again, the main problem is in the improvement of the image algorithm...

There is no problem with the hardware part, the sensors and lens modules used in Stardust 4+ are the best, but in the actual test, they are not well adapted to the current Stardust OS version, in order to solve this problem, our project team proposed three solutions..."

Chen Zifan: !!

In the final analysis, in fact, the processor of Stardust 4+ is not strong enough for Changhe 4+, and the resolution of the GPU is not enough, so it will cause the current situation.

But Kitano Menglin didn't say, because the 24 million pixel camera was decided by Chen Zifan, since the hardware can't be changed, let's start with the software.

It can be solved after all, can it?

In fact, in Chen Zifan's memory, the processors obtained by the vast majority of mobile phone manufacturers can't bring such high-pixel cameras at all, think about how many generations of Apple's products and how many generations of 12 million pixel cameras have been used?

Aren't A-series chips strong enough?

Or does Apple just want to cut leeks?

Cutting leeks is one thing, because Apple's camera sales will not be affected even if it does not upgrade its camera, and upgrading it will reduce profits, so there is no need to upgrade, and it is indeed a little unmoving.

The pixel boost of the mobile phone is actually a pseudo-boost, which is a completely different concept from the camera.

Here's a simple example:

Suppose a pixel cell of a camera is composed of four sub-pixels, which are red, yellow, blue, and green, and a pixel cell of a mobile phone is also composed of four sub-pixels, but the sub-pixels of the mobile phone are all one color.

So the result is-

The camera's 48 million pixels are really 48 million pixels, and the phone's 48 million pixels are just 12 million pixels split into 48 million pixels, which is very fake.

Even so, the mobile phone processor still can't be moved, look at the later market, hundreds of millions of pixels are available, and the flagship machine with top photography is still using 50 million pixels, which is not as good as some cost-effective models.

Which cost-effective model doesn't have 64 million pixels?

Even if the flagship machine uses 50 million pixels, the default photo mode will not turn on the high-pixel mode, many consumers take pictures every day, and it is very likely that they will not be aware of this at all.

In this way, sometimes high pixels are not necessarily really good, so why use high pixel lenses?

One can create a gimmick, the other is that consumers like it, and although the high-pixel lens does a little "false publicity", it is also really high-pixel high.

It's not false propaganda either.

The camera is not improved, but our camera is really better! The price is also more expensive!

Consumers also like such things, just like most graphics cards in the graphics card market are three-fan, two fans are actually enough, but consumers look at ~ eh? Three fans seem to be a little more violent?

Is it better to look good?

Therefore, the graphics card market has changed from the initial dual-fan three-fan five-five open, to the later three-fan mainstream, and occasionally there is a dual-fan market situation.

It's all about catering to consumers!

A solution proposed by Kitano Menglin is exactly the same as the solution of the Android manufacturer in Chen Zifan's memory, taking pictures with relatively low pixels in the default mode, and then taking photos with higher pixels after manually turning it on.

But Chen Zifan also knows that this is a hard injury, the peripheral configuration of Stardust 4+ is too fierce, so fierce that it can be used as a mainstream model in 2022, and Changhe 4+ Even if it has been upgraded on the basis of Changhe 4, it is still at least two generations behind.

If you convert Changhe 4+ into the famous Antutu running score, it can only run 25~300,000.

Even if it is almost doubled compared to Changhe 3+, it is still not enough to have such a high hardware configuration.

"I'm thinking about it..."

Chen Zifan also had a little headache all of a sudden, originally he thought that Changhe 4+ was already very fierce, and it could almost be described as an epoch-making mobile phone processor, but after doing it, he found that Changhe 4+ was not enough at all!

Who says it is overperformance every day?

If it really doesn't work, then you can only take a compromise and give up part of the configuration a little.

Chen Zifan didn't dwell too much on this, there was still time to deal with it next, and he wouldn't be too worried, it was all at this time, since Kitano Menglin had a solution, he would definitely have arranged personnel to test it a long time ago.
