Chapter 231 Overperformance?Is it not enough...

Recall that it has been a year and a half since the release of Stardust 3, Stardust 3+, Stardust-Chenji and other products. Although the Stardust 4 series has not yet been released, it seems that Stardust Technology has really achieved every two years. .

To be able to not update their flagship products for such a long time, but still dominate the sales list, one 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 ridiculously strong, and other mobile phone brands really have no choice but to watch.

But even the best products have been sold for one and a half years in a row, and the limited edition has not yet been released. Consumers are really tired. Since June this year, the sales of Stardust 6+ and Stardust-Chenji have been declining.

It's just that the decline has not been large, and occasionally it will rebound due to some holiday activities.

The sales of Stardust 3 have been steady and booming. It is a bit similar to models such as Apple 11, 12, and 13. It will not be too affected by the replacement. On the contrary, the price is more cost-effective after the replacement.

The two-year update strategy did not reduce the popularity of Stardust Technology, but instead filled the sense of anticipation.

Countless consumers are looking forward to it, guessing what kind of "hard 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 journey of smart phones from scratch and quickly becoming a complete system, then the Stardust 4 series is definitely the beginning of a new era of Stardust Technology.

While Chen Zifan was handling other work, the Stardust 4 series products were also in the development stage.

At present, the final mass production version is only a step away. After all, it will be released in about half a year, and the sales of Stardust series mobile phones are tens of millions. How could it not be ready sooner?

Zhao Wushang 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 at least save the previous generation of products, so that he will not be afraid of future risks.

But Chen Zifan did not choose to do this, and let alone the fact that the Stardust 5 series will not be available for a year, the most important thing is that he still needs about a year to unlock some of the technologies in [Stardust Technology]. Only in this way can the product power be further improved.

But there must be nothing wrong with what Zhao Wushang said.

A lot of things really need to be prepared in advance.

While Chen Zifan was thinking on the road, he drove his "Queen" Xinghan mini into the Stardust Factory. Compared with two years ago, the current Stardust Factory has undergone earth-shaking changes. The factory area has increased by more than four times. , not to mention the production capacity.

The semi-automated production line is very easy to use, and the planning in the factory area is even more orderly. If you walk to any area and look inside, you will be shocked besides shocking.

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

The obsolete "old" equipment will 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 Shancheng and the other is in Pengcheng.

Very wide coverage
There is absolutely no problem in terms of production capacity.

The following three factories will carry out division of labor and cooperation to further improve production efficiency. According to estimates, when the three factories are fully fired, they can produce 2.5 mobile phones in one second, and 216000 mobile phones in a day.

that month...

This is the real "super factory".

Of course, in Chen Zifan's memory, the production capacity of Apple's foundry at its peak was even stronger than this, and the sales of hundreds of millions of units were easily surpassed by the current Stardust Technology.

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

Stardust Technology does not only sell mobile phones...

After Chen Zifan walked through the production area of ​​the Stardust Factory, he arrived at his destination, a factory area dedicated to research and development of technology and products in the experimental stage.

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

If you don't practice it, who knows what the finished product will look like?Does it meet expectations?
But Chen Zifan can guarantee that Stardust Technology can at least take 90% less detours than other manufacturers in the experimental stage, which is also his biggest source of confidence.

As soon as Chen Zifan entered the factory, no matter if he was an employee or a cadre, he would say hello whenever he was free:

"Hello, Dong Chen!"

"President Chen..."

"Dong Chen looks handsome again today~"

Chen Zifan: ...

Surface: nodding calmly (●_●)
Heart: Hurry up!A few words of praise()

But he didn't come to listen to the employees' farts, but to get the latest progress of the Stardust 4 series products, and take a look at the actual machine by the way.

He immediately found a project leader:

"I remember that the last time I came was two months ago. At that time, Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+ were already doing final debugging. How is the progress now?"

The name of the person in charge is Kitano Menglin, which sounds a lot like the name from Little Days, but it is not. Kitano is a very unpopular surname. It is said that it originated from an official position in the Western Zhou Dynasty. When she first came to Stardust Technology, Chen Zifan paid a little attention.

He was most impressed by:

Kitano Menglin's pile of certificates is too numerous to count, and he has never seen most of them.

At that time, he once again realized how outrageous the outstanding people in this world really are. Fortunately, he was cheating, otherwise, relying on his own hard work, it would be impossible to develop all the way from the bottom to the present... It would be impossible.

But he won't belittle himself~

Kitano Menglin briefly introduced the current situation: "At present, the completion of Stardust 4 is infinitely close to 100%, and it is only a matter of finalizing the mass production. Stardust 4+ needs to be adjusted again. The main problem lies in Improving the image algorithm...

There is no problem with the hardware part. The sensor and lens modules used by Stardust 4+ are the best, but in the actual test, they cannot be well adapted to the current Stardust OS version. In order to solve this problem, our project The group proposed three proposals…”

Chen Zifan:! ! !

In the final analysis, the Stardust 4+'s processor Changhe 4+ is not strong enough, and the resolution of the GPU is not enough, which is why the current situation is caused.

But Menglin Kitano didn't say anything, because the 2400-megapixel camera was decided by Chen Zifan. Since the hardware can't be changed, let's start with the software.

It can be solved anyway, can't it?

In fact, in Chen Zifan's memory, the processors obtained by most mobile phone manufacturers can't handle such high-pixel cameras at all. Think about how many generations of Apple's products have used, and how many generations of 1200-megapixel cameras have been used?

Aren't the A-series chips strong enough?

Or does Apple just want to cut leeks?
Cutting leeks is one aspect, because even if Apple does not upgrade the camera sales, it will not be affected, and the upgrade will reduce profits, so there is no need to upgrade, and it is indeed a bit immobile.

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

To give a simple example:

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

So the result is -

相机的4800万像素是真的4800万像素，手机的4800万像素只是1200万像素拆分到了4800万像素，很虚假。

Even so, the mobile phone processor is still unable to move. Looking at the later market, there are hundreds of millions of pixels, and the flagship phones with top-level cameras still use 5000 million pixels, which is not as good as some cost-effective models.

Which cost-effective model does not have 6400 million pixels?
Even if the flagship phone uses 5000 megapixels, the high-pixel mode will not be enabled in the default camera mode. Many consumers take pictures every day, and they may not realize this at all when they change their phones.

From this point of view, sometimes high pixel is not necessarily good, so why use high pixel lens?
One can create a gimmick, and the other is that consumers like it, and although the high-pixel lens has made a little "false publicity", it is actually high-pixel.

It's not false advertising either.

There is no improvement in taking pictures, but our camera does use a better one!The price is also more expensive!

Consumers also like this kind of thing. For example, most graphics cards in the graphics card market have three fans. Two fans are actually enough, but consumers see~eh?The three fans seem to be a little stronger?
Is it better to sell?

Therefore, the graphics card market has changed from the initial dual-fan to three-fan market, to the later three-fan mainstream, and occasionally 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 Android manufacturers in Chen Zifan's memory. In the default mode, relatively low pixels are used to take pictures, and after manual activation, higher pixels are used to take pictures.

But Chen Zifan also knows that this is a flaw. The peripheral configuration of the Stardust 4+ is too fierce, so fierce that it can be used as a mainstream model in 2022, and the Changhe 4+ has a wave of upgrades on the basis of the Changhe 4. It is also behind at least two generations or so.

If Changhe 4+ is converted into the famous AnTuTu running score, it can only run 25 to 30.

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

"I'll think it over…"

Chen Zifan suddenly had a headache. Originally, he thought that the Changhe 4+ was already very powerful, and could almost be described as an epoch-making mobile phone processor, but after a lot of searching, he found that the Changhe 4+ was not enough!

Who said that the performance is excessive every day?
If it doesn't work, then we can only adopt a compromise method and give up part of the configuration slightly.

Chen Zifan didn't worry too much about this. He still had time to deal with it, so he wouldn't worry too much. It was already at this time. Since Kitano Menglin had a solution, he must have arranged for people to test it.
