Chapter 206
"No wonder Chairman Chen doesn't need a watch..."

Users who have already bought Stardust smart watches are crying in the Stardust community. It's not that Chen Zifan doesn't pay attention to the classified products of smart watches, but that he has no demand for them at all, so why wear them if he doesn't need them?
Check the time?
Heart rate, blood pressure?
Or do sports?
Even one of the most core functions of the Stardust smart watch: sleep monitoring is useless, because Chen Zifan doesn't like to wear accessories while sleeping, and he doesn't usually like it, let alone while sleeping.

But he can't deny that a considerable number of consumers do have this demand. According to his observation, the proportion of people who wear jewelry and those who don't wear jewelry is basically [-]-[-], and almost everyone in the female group wears jewelry.

Of course, this is only his one-sided observation, because from his perspective, he can't observe the low-level female groups, such as housewives.

Another example is far away in the countryside...

Products like smart watches are purely based on personal preferences and choices, and Stardust smart watches are currently the product with the highest seven-day unreasonable return rate of Stardust Technology, because they really get tired of being used very quickly.

Many consumers returned after three days of exploring the functions after purchasing, but there are also some smart watch enthusiasts who think about how to add new things to it every day, such as watching movies and playing games on smart watches.

Or buy N watch straps and change them every day.

In Chen Zifan's product planning, the Stardust smart watch belongs to the category of "icing on the cake", but its product life may be longer than that of tablets and laptops. Who can say for sure?

As for the always-on screen display on smartphones, this is not a difficult technology, but there may be a risk of screen burn-in after long-term use, and the power consumption is relatively large, but screen burn-in is only a risk...

From Stardust 1→Stardust 3+, plus Stardust-Chenji, there are no more than 1000 screen-burning mobile phones that have been processed in the feedback data of Stardust after-sales, and the total sales of Stardust mobile phones have exceeded [-] million units. This yield rate is extremely exaggerated in the entire mobile phone era.

Unless extreme operations are used in extreme environments, or the screen quality itself has problems, it is unlikely that the screen will be burned even if the mobile phone is scrapped.

Instead of worrying about burning the screen, it is better to worry about the color cast and yellowing of the screen after a long time of use.

But most people can't see it
After many people in the Stardust community discussed it, they turned their attention to the most important thing:
mobile payment.

At present, the popularity of mobile payment is very fast, but for people in many areas, using mobile phones to receive and pay itself makes them very insecure, and they do not have the tangible sense of security that using paper money.

This requires banks and other institutions to take the lead. Stardust Technology only provides products and some promotional channels. The real promoters still have to look at the official.

Therefore, no matter in the Stardust community or other social software, netizens from all over the world show fear, excitement, or indifference towards mobile payment, which cannot stop the follow-up wave of the times.

It's just that when Chen Zifan went out this time, many people mistakenly thought that Stardust Technology was the promoter behind it. In fact, Stardust Technology can only be regarded as an assistant at best.

Anyway, Chen Zifan wouldn't care too much about how other people discussed it, as long as there was a dedicated person to deal with it.

He is more concerned about the product issues of Stardust Technology. It would be fine if Stardust 4 → Stardust 5 is updated every two years, and there can be more buffer time, but if it is only every one 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 6 series will probably be launched in June 5, but this is not necessarily a good choice, choose to update every two years , then the intensity of the update must be great.

The price of electronic products has fallen very fast. Even a player like Stardust Technology, which has almost no premium, can’t bear it for two years. It’s okay to update more vigorously. The model is gone, who will buy a new one?

And in the middle of a year, sales must be supported by special models and other products. Therefore, the progress of Stardust Technology's product development must be accelerated. Two generations of products have been developed in advance, and the final product will be determined according to the market situation. time to market.

In short, the continuous development is over~
AR glasses are considered a key product. After adding iris recognition and infrared scanning, as well as the original NFC and other functions, it can do more things.

But it is still incomplete after all. After the first batch of samples came out, Chen Zifan had to consider how to "control". With the current level of technology, the only ways to do it are touch and voice.

The incomplete voice assistant may be launched in advance, but it will be hard for consumers who can't speak ordinary hair... But if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the voice assistant to collect the first batch of dialects.

It is definitely not realistic to collect all the dialects, but it is enough to include all the mainstream dialects in the voice assistant. It is reasonable to say that it does not matter whether 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 "front" technology company. If they don't do it, then other companies won't do it.

In addition to AR glasses, the most important thing at present must be the Stardust notebook. The progress of the nine-core CPU Shengong 1 known as the "Shengong Generation" is much faster than Chen Zifan imagined, and the progress of the graphics card is even faster.

The person in charge of the Changhe chip project is so concerned about the independent GPU. Chen Zifan almost produced the first batch of experimental products in just one month after the work he had just arranged last time, but unfortunately something went wrong later.

Otherwise, Chen Zifan might have to witness a miracle. Nvidia and AMD are still tormenting each other, and then Stardust Technology stole their home?And the graphics card that came out for the first time was more than a year ahead of them?
Who can bear this?

Fortunately, the Stardust Notebook will be listed first, so it is not so shocking. Originally, Chen Zifan wanted to continue to check the progress of the Stardust Notebook, such as molds, etc., but Zhao Wushang sent a new message:

"Apple 4 is released!"

Chen Zifan:? ? ?

What the hell! ?

Apple 4?

Jobs only released two generations of Apple mobile phones before he died. How can this be fast forwarded to Apple 4?
Chen Zifan took the document and looked at it——

Only then did I realize that this iPhone 4 is not the other iPhone 4. The current generation of Apple 4 made by Cook, Jonathan and others... If you just watch the promotional video, it even has the taste of Apple X, with a 5.8-inch big notch screen.

"Is it really an Apple X?"

wrong!It's the Apple XR!

After all, there is only one camera at the back, and the Apple X is a dual-camera, so it doesn't look so awkward.

But still not right?

How could a person like Jobs who pursues perfection accept big bangs?Didn't it mean that this mobile phone was designed before him?How could it be like this?And look at that big black border...

It's really thick and black!
It affects the perception, okay?
Stardust Technology has made the black border less than 1.5mm, and the iPhone 4 is at least 2mm, and at least 0.6mm wider, so the visual effect is different.

Zhao Wushang seemed to have seen his doubts, or simply explained: "According to the information given by Wang Jinli, this generation of Apple 4 is a backup solution, and the model designed by Jobs is not used."

"No wonder..."

Now Chen Zifan understood a little bit. Poor Jobs, fortunately he still wanted to rely on the model he designed to continue to make a comeback, but in the end he was rejected by the backup plan.

But to my surprise, this Apple 1999, which sells for US$4, is very popular. The initial sales in Laomei even exceeded 20 units, and the supply is still in short supply. The world's first true 4G mobile phone.

What?Stardust 3+ is it?
Who doesn't know that Stardust 3+ is a fake 4G?

Chen Zifan: Ah yes yes yes!

He doesn't care, whatever those guys say, even if the tongue is brilliant, so what?
Can PHS be turned into a smart phone?
And as far as he knows, Stardust Technology has the most 4G technology patents. Some time ago, a group of people came here to seek cooperation with Stardust Communications, and turned around to discredit them as fake 4G?How brave.

Don't they think that Stardust Technology's 4G technology won't be updated?Chen Zifan will definitely not use 5G in the short term, but it is still no problem to optimize 4G.

Even if he can't get some overseas markets, he doesn't care anymore. If he can't get in, why bother to get in?Stardust Technology will continue to widen the gap soon.

In addition to Apple, Zhao Wushang also brought information from other mobile phone manufacturers this time: "Samsung has poached several important people from TSMC, and wants to build a more advanced nano-process production line to divide the foundry market.

The sales of their recent models are not bad, and they are on par with us in several markets. There are also new phones from brands such as LG and HTC that are also making full-screen phones, using Google's Android system.

But they are already trying to switch to our red flag camp. I also asked someone to get me a few Android phones. The fluency and Stardust OS are really incomparable.

Several domestic brands are also selling well in overseas markets, such as Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo, TCL, Haier...they rely on low prices and are not a big threat.

The low-priced models of Meizu and Redmi are also about to be updated, and they are still within [-] yuan. It can only be said to be usable, and there is still a big gap between them..."

Many other new brands are mainly sold online. There are fewer offline physical stores and even fewer after-sales points. Buying their mobile phones can only rely on metaphysics quality control, otherwise it will take too much time to return and exchange.

To Chen Zifan's surprise, the sales of Haier mobile phones in the first month increased very fast, an increase of 23% compared with the previous month. After a brief look at their models, they are all exported.

There are no domestic sales.

It's also interesting to say that Haier really has a lot of involvement in the field of electronic products. In Chen Zifan's memory, he has made everything from pseudo-smartphones to smart phones, and even laptops. Raytheon Computer relies on Haier.

But their product...

In terms of mobile phones and computers, it is really a bit average, especially Raytheon computers. The price is directly comparable to the first-line brand, but the logo and design are always suspected of imitating aliens. It is no wonder that sales are relatively average.

After simply paying attention, Chen Zifan put this document behind him, but before Zhao Wushang left, he still said: "I will use it to collect the most popular or distinctive models recently."

"no problem."

It is also a great pleasure to study the models of other companies. By the way, you can learn a little experience from it and see how the current level of your friends is.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zifan continued to work on the Stardust notebook. The outside world does not know that Stardust Technology is going to enter the PC market, and they are still guessing the configuration of the Stardust 4 series models.

And whether charging in the air is easy to use.

Chen Zifan can say responsibly that air charging is definitely better than any wired or wireless charging method he remembers, but it is not popular yet, so he can only start with the "exploration model".

It's even better if the outside world can't think of it.

The Stardust Notebook may not have anything else, but its appearance is definitely a must. Chen Zifan made a phone call, and 10 minutes later, the model machines of the two versions of the Stardust Notebook were delivered to his office.

They are 14 and 16 inches respectively.

The same white body, the same lightweight glass on side A, the same magnesium-aluminum alloy on sides B, C, and D...but there are not many places where metal is used on side B, because the screen-to-body ratio is too high. The difference between the two versions is that the 14-inch version does not have a numeric keypad.

A 16-inch version is available.

There is no way, the 14-inch body is already small, and it will be very crowded to make a numeric keypad.

It's a pity that there is only a model machine now, and the inside of the fuselage is full of fillers. There is no way to light up the screen to see the specific screen-to-body ratio and keyboard effects.

最终售价的话，16英寸版本会比14英寸贵个200～500块钱，16英寸的屏幕更大，14英寸更轻、更便捷一些。

Just choose according to your actual needs.

After briefly playing with the model machine, Chen Zifan set his sights on the PC version of Stardust OS.

The PC-side page layout of Stardust OS is very similar to win10, and the operation logic is also a bit similar to windows, a bit like the existing pro max ultral version of windows. Since Chen Zifan wants to open up the PC-side market, it is impossible for Chen Zifan to create a new set of logic .

Consumers are lazy, they don't want to learn...

Learn unless you can't.

It's better to just block the way of Windows, and the underlying logic, system optimization, and security of Stardust OS itself are far superior to Windows, which is full of viruses at this stage. As for the problem of software adaptation-who said that the two systems cannot Compatible?

What Windows can do, Stardust OS can also do, but what Stardust OS can do, Windows is not necessarily. To be on the safe side, Chen Zifan also [Analyze Shanzhai] + [Synthetic Creation] from [Stardust Technology] 】The PC version of Stardust OS has been refined.

Make sure that the Stardust Notebook can become famous as soon as it goes on the market and increase sales.
