Chapter 60 Android and Open Source Concepts

Especially for those who pursue "individuality", Stardust 1 is in sharp contrast with their domestic products, coupled with some foreign media's follow-up publicity, and some Stardust 1 usage videos...

Nature has formed a great attraction to their young people. No matter which country young people are in, as long as they are in the era of rapid development of electronic products and technology, it is impossible to ignore the Stardust 1 product.

Brands such as Apple, Nokia, and Ericsson have been promoting more and more recently, but the development models and product lines of the latter two are doomed to make it difficult for them to successfully transform in a short period of time. As for Jobs’ Apple...

The momentum of publicity is getting stronger and stronger, but Apple hasn't even made a mobile phone before, so what's the use of mere publicity and hype?Let's talk about the actual product!

There are even many people who are questioning whether the "world-changing products" that Jobs said are true. One has been mass-produced and launched, and the other is still making cakes to satisfy hunger. After comparison, anyone knows how to choose.

"Jobs is a liar, and Stardust 1 is the product that changed the world! Before Stardust 1 came out, not many manufacturers wanted to make smartphones!"

"In terms of products alone, I can't imagine how Apple can surpass Stardust 1! Those who haven't seen Stardust 1 don't know how amazing the screen is!"

"Who said you haven't seen it? But I advise you to see it, because if you have seen the real Stardust 1, you will no longer have room for other phones..."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"I didn't believe it at first, until one day...Really, it's better than in the video!"

"What are you all anxious about? Since Jobs dared to say it, he will definitely do it! Stardust 1 is not easy to use, why can't we be more patient?"

Only Apple fans are still looking forward to the quick action of Jobs. Stardust 1 is indeed not easy to use, but it is just not easy to use in foreign markets. It can only be connected to wifi, not to mention most applications.

In terms of games, Stardust 1 only has some simple stand-alone games, which are completely inferior to handhelds. In terms of video, the screen quality of Stardust 1 is sufficient, but the video resolution cannot keep up, and there are very few high-definition resources.

Therefore, many people in foreign countries think that Stardust 1 has been over-mythologized. Their hardware is indeed powerful, but the software is weak. It is better to wait until Stardust 1 enters their market and see if it can be optimized.

But before Apple officially announced the product, Google released a shocking news: "The first smartphone equipped with Android system is coming soon!"

On the other side, Qualcomm, which was silent on the other side, also released the news that "Qualcomm's first smartphone chip is about to come out, and will conduct in-depth cooperation with Google and HTC..."

Wang Jinli, who was busy preparing to set up a group of overseas agents, scolded directly after receiving the news:
"It's really Android! Damn it! Mr. Chen is really good at predicting things. Fortunately, I have been paying attention to the news of Android. Is HTC going to launch an Android smartphone?"

Android, Qualcomm, and HTC are not easy to mess with. It stands to reason that the progress of Android should not be so fast. It will take at least one year to release the source code. What is the situation now?
Chen Zifan also couldn't figure it out. The Android Open Mobile Alliance is still being formed, and Qualcomm's chips are still being taped out. How dare they release the news now?Just to get a head start?

In the final analysis, it was because Stardust Technology disrupted their layout. Apple was panicked, Google was also panicked, and major mobile phone manufacturers were even more panicked. Give Stardust Technology a little more time, and I don’t know how much market and profits will be lost.

So during this period of time, Android has really worked hard, working overtime crazily, forming a mobile phone open alliance, improving the source code of Android, and claiming that Android will be a completely free open source system.

In fact, there is another reason. Part of the open source code of Stardust OS in China has accelerated the birth of Android and Apple, because Chen Zifan has long anticipated a possible situation after Android is free and open source:
"Android is open source, but Stardust OS is not open source, so when Android enters the Chinese market and cooperates with domestic mobile phone manufacturers, there will be such a voice:
Obviously we have a better operating system!Why use a foreign and not easy to use operating system?Is Stardust Technology in Longduan? "

At that time, if someone adds fuel to the flames and uses public opinion to exert pressure, Stardust Technology will easily become the target of public criticism and be roasted on the fire, and the reputation that has been accumulated with great difficulty before will also be severely damaged.

Even if Stardust OS is open-sourced, people will only think that Stardust Technology is open-sourced due to the pressure of public opinion and Android, not that Stardust Technology itself wants to open source, thus losing its mass base.

Moral kidnapping is very easy to use. The development environment of Stardust Technology and Apple is different, so Stardust OS has been working in the direction of semi-open source from the beginning.

Advancing can be offensive and retreating can be defensive, and different strategies can be made at any time according to the specific situation, but if it is really necessary to open source, this matter cannot be done by Stardust Technology.

It is really open source, and domestic manufacturers will still not choose Stardust OS at that time, the reason is very simple:
"We would rather choose an unusable Android system than become a vassal of Stardust Technology!"

At this time, a person or organization with strong credibility is needed to come forward. Needless to say, is there any existence in Huaxia with stronger credibility than the official?

It is impossible for Chen Zifan to predict all the situations that will happen, but he will try his best to minimize the possible risks. At that time, he only needs to change the name of the underlying source code of Stardust OS and publish it.

If the official came forward, all domestic mobile phone manufacturers would not be able to use it. Of course, Stardust Technology is not unconditional in doing so. Chen Zifan put forward three requirements in one breath when talking with the official:
"Grid, infrastructure, communications..."

"...It's too much, and the interests are too great, and some things are not under our control..."

"The open source of Stardust OS can bring tens of billions of profits every year, and we also..."

"Hey, everything has to be discussed. I know that your original intention is good, but don't rush it. Let's start with Haicheng first, and start the pilot from Haicheng."

"can."

"Ten years to build a different sea city, during which Stardust Technology will not die..."

A Stardust OS is not only exchanged for official guarantees, but also for more cooperation and benefits. Of course, the most important thing is that Stardust Technology has demonstrated excellent research and development capabilities and strong development potential.

Otherwise, Stardust OS alone might not be enough chips. At the same time, the official is also a little worried that Stardust Technology will lose its existing advantages in open source Stardust OS.

Chen Zifan is ready to wait for the major operating systems to come out, and then come to the next wave of [Analysis of Shanzhai] and [Synthetic Creation]. At that time, Stardust OS will not only gather the strengths of each, but also have no shortcomings.

It seems that Stardust Technology has lost the advantages of Stardust OS, but actually recruited a large number of free labor to help Stardust OS upgrade. When the real comparison is made, domestic manufacturers will find that Stardust OS has become stronger.

And they will only think that they have not developed it properly, and they will not suspect that Stardust Technology directly copied their achievements. The most important thing is that the strongest thing about Stardust Technology is not the Stardust OS, but the hardware.

If everyone has the same system, the hardware level of Stardust Technology can be at least a generation and a half ahead of its peers, and Stardust Technology's advantage in the mobile phone business will be very stable, and there is no rival in the same level.

"Mobile phones are not the only profit point of Stardust Technology, we also have lithium batteries and motors..."

Lithium batteries, motors, and electronic waste recycling are all profitable points, but they are not as fast and fierce as the mobile phone business.

The Chinese market will be the main development position of Stardust Technology in the next three years, but if given the opportunity, Chen Zifan will not give up the overseas market. If he goes through formal channels, foreign businessmen will be very ruthless.

However, it is not Stardust Technology that is slaughtering, but their local consumers. Wang Jinli has already tried to open up some overseas markets through the channel of mobile phone dealers, but he is not going the right way.

After Chen Zifan learned of this, he just reminded him to be careful not to overdo it, and then he focused on other things, such as dealing with the newly launched pseudo-smartphone.

Gionee originally thought that they were the fastest batch, but a brand that surprised everyone took the lead: ZTE, their pseudo-smart phone not only looks very beautiful, but also transforms the operating system.

Some new functions have been added to the original functional machine system, which is more in line with the touch-screen operation mode, so that the physical keyboard can be canceled, and the screen size is also very large, up to 4.2 inches, which is only a circle smaller than Stardust 1.

If someone has seen the era of fake smart phones flying everywhere, they will definitely be impressed by ZTE's mobile phones. It just so happens that Chen Zifan has also experienced it, and ZTE has always liked to make products silently and then advertise.

Coupled with the cooperation of operators and the starting price of 1699 products, ZTE’s pseudo-smartphone ushered in a small climax on the first day of its launch, with a single-day sales exceeding 3+, and sales growth was very rapid.

Gionee's Liu Lirong almost fainted from crying in the toilet. He had no choice but to hurry up and make products.

After the initial explosion of Stardust 1, sales have gradually eased, but with the blessing of operator channels, the current single-day sales of Stardust 1 can also be maintained at around 8 units, with a high starting price and a low price. How about it?
In the end, it depends on the product. Five years ago, the better feature phones sold for two to three thousand, and the sales volume exploded. Nokia’s flagship feature phones, each with 4000+ sales, have also remained high in the Chinese market.

People often say that Xiaomi is the king of cost performance, but it is such a strong cost performance king, but its sales in the Chinese market are often suppressed by Apple, and even oppo and vivo, which were high in price and low in configuration in the early stage, cannot be sold.

Why is this again?
"The starting price is never the factor that determines the sales volume. The focus is on the product itself, shipping channels, marketing methods... and brand recognition..."

"Huaxia consumers have always had a concept: you get what you pay for, and they are always frugal, and they have higher requirements for product durability and after-sales service..."

This is also the reason why Stardust Technology has built Stardust direct stores and after-sales centers from the very beginning. While there are official shipping channels, there are also after-sales channels that are more in line with consumers' perceptions.

After ZTE launched its first pseudo-smartphone, products first and publicity later, it seemed to be the fuse that directly ignited the entire Chinese mobile phone market and entered the era of all kinds of mobile phone chaos.
