Rebuild 2005

Chapter 1163 [1162] The Ultimate Board
By 2015, smartphone innovation had reached a bottleneck. Mobile phones at this time could basically do everything that mobile phones could do ten years later.

In its original history, the iPhone led most functional innovations, while Samsung led the trend of large screens and OLED screens. Therefore, they are the leaders of smartphones and high-end brands.

Starting in 2016, Huawei began to lead smartphones on the "imaging" track, as well as some "initiatives" such as gradient colors and rear camera arrangements that have caused other companies to follow suit.

Later, there will also be air gestures, satellite communications, etc.

Therefore, Huawei mobile phones have successfully reached the high end.

In this time and space, Gushi mobile phones have also led some innovation trends, such as large screen, infrared, NFC, fingerprint recognition, imaging...

Therefore, Gushi has completed high-endization earlier than Huawei mobile phones in history.

Now, all aspects of the functions and designs of smartphones have been basically completed and have begun to "converge". However, countless companies and people in the entire upstream and downstream smartphone industry chain have not given up their efforts, but have become even more involved.

In one year, the performance of various components in the industry chain has improved, but one year later, Gushi Mobile's new flagship mobile phone has no change in material, consumers can hardly detect the screen change, and the battery capacity remains unchanged... etc. Under the premise that all aspects are almost stagnant, the dividends brought by the year's development of components and the improvement of the team's stacking capabilities have all been eaten up by heat dissipation and new functions, and it is not enough. Instead, the thickness has increased from 7.6 mm to 8.3 mm.

From a design point of view, this is undoubtedly a failure, but the switch from Qualcomm processors to self-developed Taibai A series processors, as long as it goes through smoothly and does not let consumers feel that the experience is degraded, is a huge, A leap-forward transformation.

Moreover, this thickness increase of less than 1 mm is not noticeable on the Jiangjinjiu series mobile phones. The reason is shameful to say, because the Jiangjinjiu series mobile phones have never been known for their thinness and feel.

This is the advantage of Birdsong Stream and Sauvignon Blanc.

When it was about to enter the first generation, the screen was only 1 inches, and the width reached 5.3 mm (the same width as the iPhone 78 Pro Max, only 14 mm narrower than the 60 mm of the Huawei mate79 pro). After that, the borders quickly became narrower, and the screen size also rapidly By increasing the size, the width of the Jinjiu Collector’s Edition series of mobile phones is basically fixed at 1 mm, while the standard version is at 78 mm. Anyway, they have nothing to do with the good feel.

Because it is wide, it looks thin when held in the hand. Many people will feel that the iPhone 4 Collector's Edition is almost the same as the 6.9mm iPhone 6 simply by intuition without comparing or looking at the parameters.

"It may not be obvious on the wine, but it doesn't matter to Linjiangxian. Anyway, appearance and frivolity are not the selling points in the first place. What should I do with Niao Ming Jian and Sauvignon Blanc?"

Someone raised a question, but Wei Qingfan did not answer and looked at other people in the meeting.

Someone suggested: "I think the frequency can be reduced. The power consumption of A1 is very good at the mid-to-low end. Birdsong Stream and Sauvignon Blanc are not known for their performance. Linjiangxian can also be used for heat dissipation. It doesn't matter if it is thicker. "

"And when Birdsong Stream is released, our training of A1 should be very smooth."

"I agree."

……

Everyone chatted and quickly decided on the general direction. After it was over, Wei Qingfan came to the imaging department to understand the progress here.

Next year, Niao Ming Jian 5 will abandon the 2x optical zoom lens and adopt a 3x optical zoom lens. The 2x will be transferred to the standard version and use an ultra-high pixel 4800 million main camera. This is because Wei Qingfan wants to use ultra-high pixels. Simulates a 2x focal length effect close to optical zoom quality.

Unfortunately, the imaging department gave him a clear answer. The direction he euphemistically hinted at (the iPhone 14 Pro solution) cannot be done now. It forced a 2x focal length option and could only crop directly.

Wei Qingfan also knows that there is no rush. Not only is there a gap in lens hardware, but also an even greater gap in the computing power of mobile phone processors. Fortunately, 3x can still shoot portraits.

At present, we can only try our best to optimize the cropping effect of the 4800-megapixel main camera. After all, even when telephoto has become popular in later generations, there are still a considerable number of ordinary consumers who directly use their fingers to zoom in on the shooting interface. There is no "focal length" at all. "This concept.

Overall, the images of Niaomingjian 5 are still "optimized" rather than innovative. The colors of the three cameras are unified and the animation transition is smooth. If you achieve this step, you have achieved your goal.

Of course, there is also the "showing muscle" part. The 5x periscope lens is already being tested. If it goes well, Niaomingjian 5 can also launch a "Premium Edition" with very small shipments next year, bringing some small things to everyone. Small "telephoto shock".After several meetings, he returned to the office and saw a stack of boxes on his desk.

This is the latest Gushi Tablet this year, and it is officially named "Zhizhen Tablet" to match Apple's iPad Pro series. At the same time, the official names of all Gushi Tablet products have been simplified, and the "Gushi Tablet Collector's Edition" has been renamed " "Ancient Poetry Collection Board" and "Ancient Poetry Tablet Standard Edition" were renamed as "Ancient Poetry Standard Board".

However, this is only the company's internal positioning to benchmark the iPad Pro. Gushi currently does not have the ability to make an enhanced version of Apple's A-series "X" series processors, and the price can only benchmark Apple's standard version.

In the company's internal product series, there are four main differences between this generation of Ultimate Edition and Collector's Edition:

1. A brand new stylus-named "the finishing pen";
2. The brand-new A1 flagship processor and the corresponding functions it brings, such as "voice wake-up" and "lift up the screen";
3. Support ultra-high definition screen with high color accuracy;

4. Better workmanship;

The third point is that there is only a high-color accuracy screen without global color management, because it has not been implemented yet. However, this year, global color management was implemented on Jiangjinjiu 5, which is only supported by the standard board and the collection board. This has made R&D The team tried their best.

When OLED became popular, in order to be "bright", the Android camp collectively went astray in color management. It was not until the P2021Pro released by Huawei in 50 that it began to correct it, and only Huawei is correcting it.

Nowadays, smartphones except for Samsung are basically LCD screens, which is not too messy, but it is still very difficult to do global color management.

This fall, iPhone 6S started to implement global color management. For the next five years, Apple has been alone in seeking defeat. It was not until 5 that Huawei once again carried forward the spirit of "the world's largest Apple fan" and began to follow suit, and it was no longer alone.

These things that many ordinary consumers may have never heard of are the reason why many people, especially those in related industries, all own an iPhone, and they are also the moat for Apple products.

When next year’s spring press conference is launched, the 2016 Ancient Poetry Tablet Collector’s Edition will be updated to a 10.5-inch version, and the finishing touch and A1 processor will be decentralized. The exclusive selling points of the Ultimate Edition will only be workmanship and screen.

In addition, Wei Qingfan has also prepared many short-term exclusive functions for Zhizhen Board, such as "high refresh rate", "full screen", "3D face recognition"... etc. Which one comes first depends on the development progress.

This fall, Apple will release the first-generation iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 32G storage WiFi version, priced from 5888 yuan in China.

In comparison, the starting price of the Ultimate Edition of Ancient Poems is only 3699, which can be described as conscientious.

Corresponding to the naming change of tablet products, starting from this year, the ancient poetry laptop product line has also been renamed "Ancient Poetry All-Purpose Notebook", "Ancient Poetry Professional Notebook" and "Ancient Poetry Ultrabook".

The Jijinjiu mobile phone launch conference was also renamed as the "Gushi Autumn Full Scenario Product Launch". The products released included the Jijinjiu mobile phone, Zhizhen tablet, ultrabook, as well as the highest-end versions of watches, headphones, smart TVs and other products. .

The Niaomingjian press conference was renamed as "Gushi Spring Full Scenario Product Conference". The products at the press conference include Niaomingjian mobile phones, collection boards, professional notebooks, as well as sub-flagship versions of watches, headphones, smart TVs and other products;

The name of the Sauvignon Blanc press conference remains unchanged. Sauvignon Blanc mobile phones will be released, as well as standard versions of computers and tablets, as well as other products.

Wei Qingfan has high hopes for this first-generation "Zhizhen Board", especially the emergence of the stylus, which is likely to lead the "paperless learning" trend. At this time, he finally saw that the mass-produced version was delivered, and he felt a little bit Excited, I walked over and opened the box.

"and many more!"

Jiang Qinghuai suddenly stopped him, and at the same time quickly took out his mobile phone and turned on the camera, "I will record an unboxing video for Miaomiao. She records it for others all day long. I will also record a video for her to make her jealous..."

"You are so considerate..."

Wei Qingfan laughed, picked up a packaging box and put it on the empty space on the table. He picked up the knife and said with a smile: "Miaomiao, watch it. Brother will help you unpack it... um, I mean open the box..."
