Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 517: Battery Industry Turmoil and the 5G Era
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in the Tesla headquarters in the United States, Musk stood with his chin supported by one hand, looking at the sea blue SR3 in front of him!

One of the first 3 Ocean Blue SRs launched worldwide!
Just by looking at the appearance of this car, you can see an example of Hailan Automobile's car design. The appearance is extremely cool and has Hailan Automobile's consistent design language: a very strong science fiction attribute.

Just looking at the appearance, this car doesn’t seem to exist in reality, but rather more like a product of a science fiction movie!

Of course, appearance is not the focus of people's attention, at least not the focus of people in the industry.

Industry insiders are more concerned about the second-generation L3-level autonomous driving system installed on this Hailan SR4 sports car and the Poseidon battery system that has been touted recently: an oxide polymer solid-state battery!
At this time, the engineer next to him said: "Since we purchased this car in China, we immediately airlifted it back by special plane and carried out emergency testing!"

"According to our test, they didn't say anything about the battery life. We ran a battery life test after fully charging the battery, and it took us a full 1,450 kilometers to run out of power!"

"Although we didn't turn on the air conditioner during the test, nor did we drive fast or decelerate frequently, but maintained a constant speed, this is also the norm in the test!"

"Their Poseidon solid-state battery system is really as they said, with an energy density of at least 3 watt-hours per kilogram. Otherwise, with the weight of the Hailan SR's battery pack, it would be impossible to achieve a range of more than kilometers."

"This is already twice the 350 watt-hours per kilogram of the Ningdai semi-solid-state battery we use!"

At the beginning of this year, Tesla became one of Ningdai Battery's first semi-solid-state battery customers. Tesla used semi-solid-state batteries in their new models, allowing the top-of-the-line long-range version to achieve a range of 700 kilometers, which is enough to rival the previous two generations of Hailan Automobile models!
But when Musk looked at the sea blue SR3 sports car in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart!

According to intelligence from various sources, Hailan Battery, a subsidiary of Hailan Automobile, will most likely complete the construction of a solid-state battery factory next year and start large-scale mass production.

By then, all models of Hailan Automobile will definitely use this oxide polymer solid-state battery on a large scale, and its battery life will be greatly improved!

High-end models may reach over a thousand kilometers or even more!
Coupled with the extreme safety of the Poseidon battery system, Tesla will face tougher competition in the Chinese and European markets next year.

The only consolation is that the US market will not be lost!
This is also thanks to the "bold move" of General Motors and Ford in the past two years, which directly imposed a 100% automobile tariff on Hailan Automobile. Although General Motors and Ford did so to protect their own fuel vehicle market share, this also gave Tesla a very good market protection.

It even promoted the strategic cooperation between Tesla and Hailan Automobile, and facilitated the establishment of Tesla's Shanghai project and Hailan's Mexican factory, with a 30% cross-holding in each of the two factories.

Today, Tesla's Shanghai factory has entered mass production and is supplying the Chinese market and even markets in Japan, South Korea, ASEAN and other regions. This is also the main reason for Tesla's substantial sales increase this year.

The construction of the HaiLan Mexico factory is now coming to an end and is expected to be put into production by the end of this year!

On the one hand, this Hailan Automobile Mexican factory is for the Mexican market, but on the other hand it is also for a roundabout way to enter the US market... Of course, taking various obstacles into consideration, this Mexican factory will subsequently be a separate subsidiary, launching a separate electric vehicle brand for the Mexican, American and even Canadian markets, and will be known as a Mexican-made electric vehicle.

Carrying out certain localization and even launching a dedicated local brand is an important measure for HaiLian Auto in its global operations.

The main purpose is to avoid all kinds of messy influences in some areas with more severe restrictions!
So change the brand and sell it!

Although HaiLan Automobile is a big name and well-known around the world, but the bigger the tree, the more wind it attracts. As soon as people see the name of your HaiLan Automobile, they will know that you are a Chinese automobile brand. Many countries are actually on guard against Chinese brands, especially large industrial consumer products such as automobiles.

Therefore, HaiLan Automobile launched a sub-brand plan internally!

Promote and sell new brands through overseas subsidiaries!
For example, in Thailand, HaiLan Auto's local subsidiary, 'HaiLan Thailand', has launched a sub-brand specifically for the ASEAN market: AILA, which means Ella in Chinese.

The brand promoted locally is a Thai independent brand, a new independent electric vehicle brand in ASEAN!
In response to the market characteristics of the ASEAN region, such as low prices, humidity, high summer temperatures, and imperfect power grid facilities, the company launched its first localized model, targeting the local mid- and low-end markets.

In order to control costs, the lithium iron phosphate batteries that have been eliminated by the Hailan automobile brand are also used. The cost of lithium iron phosphate batteries is relatively low and the cost performance is relatively high, making them very suitable for use in mid- and low-end models.

At the same time, it does not use L4 or L3 level autonomous driving, but continues to use the old L2+ assisted driving. The hardware cost of high-end autonomous driving is also quite expensive. High-end lidar and computing chips are not cheap. If you want to control costs, you can't blindly use these good things!

In addition, we must also widen the performance gap with the Hailan brand models!

If all models costing more than 3 yuan can use L-level assisted driving, local consumers will lose a big reason to buy more expensive Hailan models costing tens of thousands, or even three or four hundred thousand yuan.

Other spare parts can also be simplified as much as possible!
After seriously simplifying various configurations, Hailan Automobile came up with the Ella model, which costs only more than 100,000 yuan.

It focuses on the low- and middle-end market with a price tag of more than 100,000 yuan, and targets the local ASEAN market… The overall economy of the ASEAN region is relatively backward, and consumption capacity is limited. The annual sales volume of high-end Hailan cars cannot go up after reaching a certain number.

This is one of the important reasons why Hailan Automobile launched mid- and low-end sub-brands locally.

The Ella brand is actually the structure of the early Hailan car, which has been severely reduced in configuration before being launched into the market. It is a bit similar to the feeling of Volkswagen selling Santana in China in the early years.

The HaiLan brand wants to maintain its high-end status, so it is naturally impossible to do these low-end businesses. However, there is demand in the local market, so a local sub-brand is established overseas to operate it.

It’s no wonder that after the Ella sub-brand was officially launched in the ASEAN region at the end of last year, it received a huge positive response and quickly expanded to other ASEAN markets.

In the future, Hailan Automobile’s automobile factory in Indonesia will also produce this brand.

Hailan Automobile hopes to use its sub-brand Ella to occupy a large portion of the automobile market in the ASEAN region and squeeze out the Japanese automobile brands that still have a huge advantage in the local area.

The same will be done in the Central and North American markets. Hailan Automobile will rely on its Mexican factory to launch a sub-brand that meets the needs of local consumers: MITE, which is pronounced as "Mite".

The Hailan Mexican factory will also produce "Mite" brand models... Of course, this "Mite" brand actually uses the core structure of Hailan's mid-size sedan and mid-size SUV, and then changes the shell and interior, but the core things are still the same.

The Mexican factory adopts the strategy of producing two brands at the same time in one factory!

In addition, the new Mitre brand will also launch the first generation of pickup trucks under Hailan Automobile. This model is specially launched for the American market because the demand for pickup trucks in the American market has always been very large.

In addition to the HaiLan brand, HaiLan Automobile now also has the Ella brand that focuses on the mid-to-low-end market, and the Mitt brand that focuses on Central and North America.

In the future, perhaps more new brands will be launched, which mainly depends on market demand around the world.

Hailan Automobile is evolving towards a collectivized, large-scale automobile group!
After all, the market capacity of the luxury car brand "Hai Lan" is limited. It is already very difficult to achieve sales of two to three million vehicles. It is too difficult to continue to break through: there are only so many rich people, and they cannot consume more high-end Hai Lan cars!

This requires some sub-brands with stronger localization to expand sales and win orders from local consumers.

There is even such a plan in China. In the future, Hailan Automobile will introduce the Ella brand targeting overseas markets into China and launch low- and mid-end models priced at more than 100,000 yuan.

However, competition in the domestic electric vehicle market is too fierce, and the mid- and low-end markets are very crowded, so it is hard to say whether the Ella brand can succeed in the country.

BYD is very strong in the mid- and low-end markets, and its unique plug-in hybrid technology route is very popular among people.

In addition, HaiLan Automobile already has the HaiLan YEV, a model priced at more than 200,000 yuan in China, so it is still unknown whether the new sub-brand Ella can be successful in China.

HaiLian Automobile continues to gain ground around the world, which has brought tremendous pressure to a large number of fuel vehicle manufacturers. American, European, Japanese, Korean and other automobile brands have suffered a considerable impact.

Even Tesla, which is also an electric car company, is feeling a lot of pressure.

Of course, for Tesla, they have the US market as their base, and the electric vehicle market is still a rapidly growing blue ocean market, so they also maintain a very high growth rate.

In particular, it has carried out strategic cooperation with Hailan Automobile and successfully entered the Chinese market.

At the same time, after obtaining the first batch of semi-solid-state batteries from Ningdai Battery, Tesla's sales this year were very hot, and its production capacity could not even keep up with the growth rate of production capacity.

This is the characteristic of the current electric vehicle market: a sea of ​​blue!
As long as you are not stupid enough to collide head-on with Hailan Automobile and try to seize the market for high-end luxury electric vehicles, there will be plenty of market space waiting for you!
As for the high-end market, it is too difficult.

HaiLian Automobile's autonomous driving technology, which starts at L3 and ends at L4, is enough to dominate the world. BMW, also a luxury brand, entered the electric car market very early, but BMW's electric car models were still defeated by HaiLian Automobile. Except for its home market in Europe, BMW's markets in other regions are basically beaten by HaiLian!

The market environment is good for Tesla now, and it will not be bad in the next few years!

The question is, what about a few years later?
In particular, Hailan Automobile now has the advantages of solid-state batteries, and its battery life and safety are enough to influence the car purchasing choices of many people.

“Hopefully, in a few years, Hailan Auto will also be able to open up sales of solid-state batteries, just like the current semi-solid-state batteries!”

Musk was thinking about flying to Shenzhen again in the near future!

The last time he went to Shenzhen, he had a good talk with Xu Shenxue, and obtained priority supply rights for the PX computing platform and semi-solid-state batteries for Tesla. He also reached a consensus on suppressing GM and Ford, and the two parties had cross-holdings in the Shanghai and Mexican factories.

This time, he plans to go to Shenzhen again to see if he can get a supply of solid-state batteries!

In addition to this, he also quickly convened R&D personnel from Tesla's battery department to increase investment in the battery field.

The current use of Ningdai Battery's semi-solid-state batteries is only a stopgap measure. They are also cooperating with two battery manufacturers, LG and Panasonic, to develop their own semi-solid-state batteries.

Semi-solid-state batteries are pretty good. If you really want to make them, you can actually make them as long as you are willing to pay people and spend some time.

Don't worry too much about being stuck.

However, solid-state batteries are more difficult to deal with. The three existing technical routes on the market are not very reliable. Hailan Battery is developing its own fourth technical route. As for the technical route of oxidized polymers, major battery manufacturers currently have only a partial understanding and have not even figured out the technical principles.

God knows when we will be able to develop our own oxide polymer battery!

The future is not optimistic!

Tesla's Musk is concerned about future battery supply issues, and the same situation is happening to other automakers entering the electric vehicle industry.

In particular, many foreign manufacturers are more worried about battery supply issues!

In the era of lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries, although the technologies of Hailan Battery and Ningdai Battery are advanced, only lithium iron phosphate batteries are leading. As for ternary lithium batteries, the technology is just ordinary first-class, and only LG Chem and Panasonic can match them.

LG Chem and Panasonic Batteries are also battery suppliers for many car companies including Tesla!
However, in this year's era of semi-solid-state batteries, there is only one third-party supplier, Ningdai Battery. Many electric vehicle manufacturers, whether they like it or not, have to choose Ningdai Battery's semi-solid-state batteries if they want to make electric vehicles with a range of more than 700 kilometers.

This brings up the risk of a single supplier... In order to diversify supply chain risks, the manufacturing industry adopts the 80/20 principle as a basic practice.

In addition to one main supplier, there must be one or even two secondary suppliers to avoid shortages of spare parts due to problems with the main supplier.

In today's era of semi-solid batteries, there is only one Ningdai Battery, which already poses a considerable risk.

Fortunately, LG Chem and Panasonic are also actively developing their own semi-solid-state batteries, which are expected to be ready in a few years.

Even if there are no semi-solid-state batteries, high-density ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries can also be used as substitutes. There is a gap, but they can be used barely.

However, when it comes to solid-state batteries, the performance gap is too big, and ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries cannot replace them at all!

Not to mention the battery life issue, the safety issue alone is irreplaceable!

More importantly, in response to inquiries from many automobile manufacturers, LG Chem and Panasonic tactfully stated that although their solid-state battery research and development plans are already underway, it is unknown when they will be available!

This is very difficult!

On the contrary, domestic electric vehicle manufacturers are very calm!
Anyway, they don't make batteries. They use batteries supplied by Ningdai or other domestic and foreign battery manufacturers. As a domestic enterprise, there won't be any major problems with Ningdai's battery supply.

The same will be true when the era of solid-state batteries arrives. In any case, Xu Shenxue has already leaked certain information to the industry that once the production capacity of solid-state batteries increases, they will be supplied to the outside world sooner or later.

Since semi-solid-state batteries are available now and solid-state batteries will also be available in the future, why think so much!
The serious thing is to find funds as soon as possible, recruit talents to design better electric vehicles, improve the assisted driving function, and then launch new models to seize the market. As for worrying about being strangled by Xu Shenxue, don't worry about these!
If we are really worried, then a large number of domestic companies that are closely related to the chip industry, such as smart terminals, artificial intelligence, and upstream semiconductor-related companies will not be able to survive.

All domestic smart terminals, servers and various chips needed in the field of artificial intelligence are supplied by Zhiyun Group.

Smart terminals widely use Zhiyun Semiconductor's W series SOC, Zhiyun storage's memory chips and flash memory chips.

Various computing chips in the field of artificial intelligence, including APO graphics cards, PX general terminal computing platforms, and LC lightweight computing platforms are all exclusive products of Zhiyun Group. There are no similar products on the market that can replace them, neither abroad nor in China.

In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, domestic semiconductor manufacturers are now purchasing a large number of various products from Fairy Mountain Holdings. As long as Fairy Mountain Holdings has the products, their performance is not too far behind that of foreign countries, and their prices are not too expensive, they basically choose Fairy Mountain Holdings' products.

Unless the product is not currently available at Fairy Mountain Holdings or is not very good at making, it can be purchased from abroad.

If you have to use foreign products, it will be very troublesome... It is not cheap just to lobby, and various approval procedures are required.

And even if you apply, there is a high probability that you will not be approved!
You want to purchase the Dutch ASML lithography machine. Please explain why. How is their NXT1980 lithography machine better than the domestic HDUV-600B? Is it better in performance or cheaper?
You want to buy ASML's EUV lithography machine. Why don't you like the world's first commercial mass-produced domestic HEUV-300B from Haiwan Technology, which is used by Zhiyun Microelectronics? Do you have to buy similar products from abroad?
Therefore, except for those of a scientific research nature, ordinary procurement applications will most likely not be approved!
In order to support the domestic semiconductor equipment and consumables industry, relevant institutions have provided great support in the field of imported semiconductor equipment and consumables.

Although there is no obvious increase in tariffs, anti-dumping or the like, many things do not need to be said explicitly: those who should understand will understand.

Especially for the major domestic semiconductor manufacturers, except Zhiyun Microelectronics, other semiconductor manufacturers are basically mainly invested by institutions, so there is no need for any formal means. Just one sentence is enough to make these semiconductor companies adopt all domestic equipment and consumables.

The top leaders are still very concerned about the semiconductor manufacturing and consumables sectors.

After all, this industry concerns the safety and lifeline of a large number of industries!
To put it in an exaggerated way, even if Zhiyun Group is finished, Xiannvshan Holdings will not be finished!

China can do without S series mobile phones, but it cannot do without the Hailan HEUV300B lithography machine!
This kind of core equipment is directly related to the security of many industries and even the national defense industry.

Take a look at the X1 artificial intelligence fighter jet that is undergoing intensive flight tests, and you will understand why the top leaders attach so much importance to the semiconductor industry chain... The defense-specific high-computing power chip used on the X1 artificial intelligence fighter jet that is currently undergoing flight tests is specially designed by Zhiyun Semiconductor and manufactured by Zhiyun Microelectronics. It uses the second-generation seven-nanometer process with Gulf Technology's HEUV-300B lithography machine as the core.

We can't expect that without Fairy Mountain Holdings and Zhiyun Microelectronics, we can still allow TSMC, Sixin and other external semiconductor manufacturers to use the Dutch ASML's lithography machines to manufacture the seven-nanometer large-scale computing chips for national defense, right?
Not to mention in broad daylight, I can’t have this kind of dream even at night!

------

The impact of the solid-state battery after its release is strong. Although it is currently only used in the Hailan SR3 sports car and Zhiyun's flagship S series robots, the outside world speculates that the cost of this solid-state battery will be very high and it is impossible to popularize it in mid- and low-end products in a short period of time.

But this represents the trend of the future!

Therefore, many people in the battery industry are very worried, and investors also lack confidence in listed battery companies and sell off their stocks, which has caused the stock prices of many listed battery companies to fall significantly.

Of course, it’s not a direct crash!

Although solid-state batteries are powerful, they cannot replace batteries in all areas.

For example, in the mid- and low-end electric vehicle market with prices of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, solid-state batteries will be difficult to replace for many years given their current high costs.

Currently, this field is still dominated by lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries. Even semi-solid batteries cannot be popularized in this market due to their high costs.

Even Hailan Automobile itself has launched a new brand, Ella, in overseas markets, using lithium iron phosphate batteries to target the mid- and low-end markets.

For a long time in the future, the battery ecology in the electric vehicle market will be a situation where lithium iron phosphate batteries, ternary lithium batteries, semi-solid batteries, and solid-state batteries coexist.

On the contrary, solid-state batteries will be fully adopted in Zhiyun Group's robot products. Robot products are expensive and have high premiums. The battery usage is not large, and the cost is controllable. In order to have better battery life, accepting a certain cost increase and using solid-state batteries is the best option.

At the same time, Zhiyun Group is also working with Hailan Battery to develop solid-state batteries that can be used in small portable devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, Bluetooth watches, Bluetooth headsets and other portable smart terminal devices. It is expected that these batteries will be gradually introduced to the market next year, greatly improving the battery life of various portable smart terminal devices under Zhiyun Group.

By the way, the charging speed can also be improved a lot... Solid-state batteries are safer, so you can use higher-power chargers with confidence without worrying about sudden spontaneous combustion during high-power charging!

In addition, in many other battery application fields, solid-state batteries have no advantages due to their high costs.

For example, a very important area in battery application: energy storage!

The energy storage market is also the first battery market to develop rapidly in the past two years, especially with the large-scale promotion and application of clean energy such as solar power generation and wind power, the development has been even faster.

Traditionally, the power grid uses as much electricity as it generates. This is not a problem for thermal power plants that can adjust their power generation at any time.

But this is not the case for solar power and wind power.

There is no sun at night, so there is no way to generate electricity!

As for wind power generation, it is also affected by weather and wind speed. When there is wind, more electricity can be generated, but when there is no wind, no electricity can be generated.

Therefore, the fluctuation of power generation is very large.

At the same time, there are huge fluctuations in electricity consumption. For example, during the day, factories are in operation and electricity consumption is very high, and residents also use a lot of electricity for their daily lives. However, at night, most factories stop working and people go to bed, and except for turning on the air conditioner, other electrical appliances are basically stopped.

This results in more electricity consumption during the day and less electricity consumption at night, especially after midnight.

Electricity generation fluctuates, and so does electricity consumption!

This requires a storage device to regulate the storage and supply of electricity.

At present, the better way is to use batteries to store energy!

This is also the reason why the battery energy storage market has developed extremely rapidly in the past two years... In particular, the domestic photovoltaic industry has developed rapidly and has occupied a leading position in the world, and the battery storage industry, as an important supporting facility for solar power generation, has also achieved tremendous development.

In the battery energy storage market, energy density is not a big deal... after all, you don’t have to carry batteries around everywhere!
In the battery storage market, the most important thing is cost-effectiveness!
The cost of storing electricity is cheap enough!

As for solid-state batteries, although they are technologically advanced and have high energy density, they are expensive... They are very good as power batteries for cars and robots, and they are also very good as batteries for portable terminal devices.

But as an energy storage battery, it is not cost-effective...especially since the cycle life is currently only 3,000 times, which is not as high as lithium iron phosphate batteries, let alone semi-solid batteries.

Based on this situation, lithium iron phosphate batteries and semi-solid batteries have great room for development in the battery energy storage market, and the market demand is also large enough.

Ningdai Battery has used the core technology of authorized lithium iron phosphate batteries to launch energy storage battery packs to the market. By reducing certain energy density technical indicators, it has achieved lower manufacturing costs and better cycle life. It has currently received good customer response and the market is expanding very rapidly.

Many other battery companies are also actively entering the battery energy storage industry, especially after seeing that Hailan Battery has developed solid-state batteries, they have accelerated their pace of transformation.

Sooner or later, the power battery market for electric vehicles will be dominated by solid-state batteries. Manufacturers with backward technology, who only have lithium iron phosphate battery technology and ternary lithium battery technology, must find a way out as soon as possible and cannot wait to die in the field of power batteries!
The release of solid-state batteries has caused a lot of discussion in the outside world and a chain reaction in the industry.

Xu Shenxue attended a 5G summit held in Beijing at the end of May. Although the theme of the conference was the 5G summit, he was inevitably asked many questions about solid-state batteries and Hailan Automobile at the summit.

In response to questions from many reporters, Xu Shenxue also answered several questions that the outside world was very concerned about.

The first is the issue of commercial mass production of solid-state batteries.

Xu Shenxue said that the new battery factory of Hailan Battery is currently under intensive construction and is expected to be put into production next summer. The first batch of products will be used in Hailan cars.

He also said that after solid-state batteries are used in Hailan cars, the price of Hailan cars with the same battery life will not change much!

As for the price of Hailan cars with longer range, such as a pure electric range of 1,000 kilometers or 1,300 to 1,400 kilometers in the future, Xu Shenxue did not say it explicitly, but the meaning is that: the price will definitely increase, otherwise the cost will not be sustainable!
The price of vehicles with the same battery life does not increase because after using solid-state batteries, although the cost per kilogram doubles, the energy density per kilogram is greater, so the battery usage can be reduced to control costs.

In terms of cost per watt-hour, Hailan Battery's solid-state batteries are actually similar to semi-solid-state batteries.

In the future, as production capacity increases, R&D and production line costs will be diluted and will become even cheaper, but that is in the future, not now!
At the same time, Xu Shenxue also gave a clear answer to the question of when Zhiyun mobile phones will be able to use solid-state batteries, which many people are concerned about: "Our engineers are working hard on research and development. I told my engineering team that I hope Zhiyun mobile phones will be able to use solid-state batteries next summer, but there is still uncertainty!"

Although the plan is to use it next year, it has not been developed yet after all. There is uncertainty in the middle. Xu Shenxue will not make too many promises, as this will affect the consumption and investment choices of many people.

After briefly answering reporters' questions in the field of solid-state batteries, Xu Shenxue shifted the topic to 5G. After all, 5G is the focus of today's meeting. We can't just talk about solid-state batteries without talking about 5G.

However, there is nothing much to say about 5G. It is just a new generation of communication protocol technology. It is also a unified protocol reached after mutual compromise among companies around the world. Zhiyun Group also plays a huge role in it.

Other companies cannot bypass Zhiyun Group and play 5G alone. Zhiyun Group has accumulated a large number of patents in the 5G field, especially in the terminal field.

Similarly, Zhiyun Group cannot bypass other companies to play with 5G.

This is a new generation of communication protocol that can only be played by everyone together.

Xu Shenxue actually doesn’t pay much attention to this... This 5G is just a "promotional activity" organized by Zhiyun and other manufacturers in the industry!
Zhiyun is using the name of 5G to boost the sales of its mobile phones, and at the same time using the patent of 5G communication baseband to strangle other communication equipment manufacturers. For example, Apple's 5G baseband is very bad, and it recently fell out with Qualcomm and cannot use the 5G communication baseband in the short term.

Well, it would be a good idea for Zhiyun to use the name of a 5G mobile phone to step on Apple phones at this time!

Most other mobile phone manufacturers also hold the same idea, taking advantage of the 5G reputation to boost their mobile phone sales!
Domestic Huawei, OV, and Xiaomi, as well as overseas Four Star, all have the same idea, so Apple is quite anxious... after all, it does not have a 5G communication baseband available for the time being.

When the 5G era arrives, operators can also attract a wave of 5G high-net-worth users.

Manufacturers that sell communication base station equipment, such as Warwick and Siemens, took the opportunity to sell a wave of base station equipment.

Users can use 5G mobile phones with faster Internet speeds!

Everyone is happy!
But to be honest, 5G is not much better than 4G!
When watching a video or playing a game on your mobile phone, there is no obvious difference between 4G and 5G in actual use. It mainly depends on whether the operator will slow down your Internet speed!
As long as the operator relaxes the restrictions and does not slow down your Internet speed, 5G or 4G are actually sufficient, and even 3G can be used. Many places around the world still have 3G networks, and local users can still use Zhiyun phones.

Whether a mobile phone's Internet access is fast or not depends not only on the phone's communication baseband, but also on the backbone network's communication capacity...and this is an issue for the operator.

In terms of the Internet of Things, 5G will not have any greater advantages than 4G... because the communication distance of 5G is too short and the signal is easily lost, especially in urban areas with buildings everywhere, the density of the communication baseband is required to be very high.

Relatively speaking, 4G has a longer communication distance, requires a lower density of communication base stations, and is easier to popularize.

As for the communication speed and delay, these are actually not very important. Not all terminals require ultra-high communication speed and ultra-low delay... At least for now, there is not much demand.

最早大规模使用的其实是海蓝汽车，然后接下来是智云集团的机器人……而海蓝汽车以及智云机器人现在还是3G和4G通讯基带并用呢，在4G网络的地方用4G，在没有4G的地区里使用3G网络。

It also does not affect the connection of Hailan Automobile and Zhiyun Robot to the Internet!
If there is really a huge demand for communication speed, then use optical fiber!

Even a 3-gigabit fiber optic cable plus WIFI for home use is a hundred times stronger than a mobile phone directly connected to the operator's 4G/5G/G network!
If it is a fiber optic network dedicated to the enterprise, then it goes without saying.

So this 5G, to some extent, is a promotional event...Major manufacturers around the world have tacitly worked together to launch this 5G era.

Among them, the main beneficiary is naturally Zhiyun Group!
So starting this year, Zhiyun Group has also been working hard to promote the 5G era!

Because this year Zhiyun Group will launch the first generation of 5G mobile phones!

They hope to use the name of 5G mobile phones to boost mobile phone sales and increase the revenue and profits of the smart terminal business!
