Thursday, December 23rd.
Chang You came to the door of Mr. Pei’s office again with some anxiety.
The last time I came was two weeks ago.
At that time, Changyou came with his confident ottoos, but a bunch of bugs appeared inexplicably. It can be said that the report was a big failure.
Mr. Pei also criticized the stability of the system and asked Changyou to put the stability of the system first and not do so many fancy things.
This time, Chang You mainly showed two things to Mr. Pei.
The first is the optimized ottoos. The functions this time have not changed at all from the last time. They are still the same. Even because of stability, a small number of functions that are not particularly practical have been cut off.
The goal is to ensure the stability and reliability of the system during this reporting process, with no or fewer bugs.
The second is the first prototype showing OTTO technology.
Nearly two months have passed since the establishment of OTTO Technology. It has to be said that it is a first-class domestic foundry after all, and its efficiency is still very high. It has already built a prototype.
However, Chang You felt particularly uneasy when he held this prototype in his hand.
Very unconfident.
Although I feel a little bit overwhelmed, since everything has been made, I definitely want to show it to Mr. Pei.
If Mr. Pei is not satisfied, it is not too late to modify it.
Before entering the door, Chang You closed his eyes and prayed, hoping that God would bless him this time and there would be fewer bugs, and then he knocked gently.
After hearing "Please come in", Changyou pushed the door open and explained his purpose to Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian nodded happily: "Okay, let me take a look."
Pei Qian is still very interested in this phone.
After all, this is the first physical product developed by Tenda.
Although many games have been developed before, the games are ultimately virtual and can only be run on computers or game consoles, and cannot be held in hand to play.
As an installed machine brand, ROF is actually not much different from DIY consoles.
But this new mobile phone is different. Although it is an OEM, the mobile phone is a highly integrated technology product after all, and the customized mobile phone is unique.
Then Pei Qian watched helplessly as Chang You put a "brick" in his hand.
...It’s so heavy!
Pei Qian clearly felt heavy pressure on his wrist.
"How much does this mobile phone weigh?"
Chang You replied with some embarrassment: "247 grams."
Pei Qian: "..."
p>I don’t know what to say, so I can only say something awesome!
What is the concept of weight?
The most popular mobile phones currently on the market are basicallyBasically, small-screen mobile phones are still the main ones. For example, the previous flagships of Pineapple mobile phones are basically around 140 grams at present, and even the large-screen version is only around 190 grams.
In fact, a mobile phone weighing 200 grams is already a bit heavy for many thin girls.
When it reaches the weight of "half a catty", it is a must-have for martial arts practitioners.
Pei Qian took it in his hand and weighed it.
Well, it must be very exciting to pick it up and hit people!
Chang You obviously also knew that this prototype was too heavy, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Pei, there is no way, our mobile phone has too much material."
"High refresh rate screen, 5800mAh large battery, flagship chip, customized cooling system, horizontal linear motor..."
"These are... quite heavy."
Pei Qian nodded.
In order to stockpile materials and raise the price to the expected 8,000 level, this is really the only way to do it.
If the pile of materials is not piled hard enough and the value of this phone is far less than 8,000, the system will not allow such inflated pricing.
But piling materials so hard will inevitably cause the phone to be overweight.
After all, other people’s mobile phones still have 2000 or 3000mAh batteries. This phone has a battery capacity of nearly 6000mAh. It’s strange that it’s not heavy.
For Pei Qian, heavier is better. It would be better if everyone ridicules this phone as a half-pound phone and has an IQ tax. If it cannot be sold, it will be accumulated in a backlog. That would be great!
Of course, Pei Qian remembers that there are mobile phone manufacturers that do this, such as some gaming phones.
But the current market environment is obviously different from the market environment when gaming phones appeared.
First of all, gaming phones are ultimately a niche market.
Mobile phones are different from computers in that they are highly integrated technology products.
Computers can be equipped with game laptops and thin and light laptops according to needs. The two have huge differences in form and are difficult to replace each other.
But there is not that much difference in the form of gaming phones and ordinary mobile phones.
At the same time, there are too many functions integrated into mobile phones, such as taking pictures and recording videos. For most people, the more important functions of mobile phones are daily use, such as watching videos, chatting, taking pictures, and playing games. , is just one of the functions.
It is not cost-effective for most people to spend the same price, sacrificing photography, videography, thinness and portability in exchange for a better gaming experience.
Of course, for those serious mobile game players, gaming phones may be a good choice.
However, we face the second problem next:
In this world, the current mobile game market is not developed.
The most popular mobile games on the market are all card battle types, such as national war mobile games like "War Song".It is considered very serious and rare.
This kind of lightweight mobile game does not require a high refresh rate screen or a large battery.
So, from the perspective of ordinary consumers, this mobile phone should be quite... ugly.
It is an unknown brand and very expensive to buy. These two points alone are enough to dissuade many consumers at first impression.
Seeing Mr. Pei deep in thought, Chang You thought he was dissatisfied with the prototype and hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, this is just a prototype and has not started mass production."
p>“If we think the weight is too heavy, we can also think of other ways, such as cutting down the battery capacity to about 4,000, so that the weight should be significantly reduced to just over 200 grams...”
Pei Qian quickly raised his hand: "No, it's good now!"
"No matter how high-end the mobile phone is, if it runs out of battery, it is just a brick and can't do anything. It must be Make sure that our mobile phones always have sufficient power, so that everyone will never have battery anxiety again!”
“The power is pretty good now. This is the highlight of our mobile phones. We must keep it, understand. ”
“In short, I am very satisfied with this prototype. This is what I imagined the ideal mobile phone to be like!”
“That’s about it in terms of hardware. I’ll try it again. Check the system.”
Pei Qian’s second experience with ottoos.
Chang You felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw Mr. Pei’s reaction, he was unexpectedly satisfied?
He hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Pei, if you have any comments, you can always put them forward."
"Also, we are now customizing the appearance, including the back case of the mobile phone. Color matching, mobile phone logo, etc., try to make the appearance of the mobile phone more beautiful and attract more consumers..."
Pei Qian shook his head while brushing the phone: "Color color of the back shell?"
"Don't make it so fancy, just make it a solid color."
"If you think it's ugly, just put the logo on it."
" Isn't that what pineapples do?"
Chang You was a little dizzy: "Then...what if it's still ugly?"
Pei Qian looked up at him: "Then let's do it. Make the logo bigger and cover it up."
Chang You: "..."
Making the logo bigger means that everyone will only focus on the logo. , Don’t you pay attention to the color of the back cover?
Many current flagship mobile phones will launch back covers in various colors, and give these colors very poetic names. This is currently a popular trend in the domestic mobile phone circle.
As a result, Mr. Pei’s taste is so different that he is not allowed to make this color, only solid colors...
Forget about solid colors, but also put a big logo on it .
Currently, the enlarged logo on the back cover is also sold.The only one that is particularly good is Pineapple Mobile.
Because this kind of large logo reflects strong confidence in your own brand.
If an unknown brand makes its logo too big, and consumers take out their mobile phones, they are likely to be asked embarrassing questions like "Hey, what brand is your mobile phone?"
Therefore, most domestic mobile phone brands place their logos in a relatively low-key position, and then add a colorful back cover to clearly distinguish them from pineapple mobile phones.
Otherwise, it is easy to be criticized as a copycat.
If Changyou were left to make his own decision, he would probably choose the approach of ordinary domestic mobile phones, which is to make a low-key logo + colorful back cover.
But now, since Mr. Pei has made it clear, Chang You can only rack his brains to fulfill Mr. Pei's request.
Pei Qian continued to play with this "half-pound machine", feeling very surprised in his heart.
This time, there are really no bugs!
It seems that Changyou has really worked hard during this period to fix all the previous bugs and greatly improve the stability of the system.
After playing with it for ten minutes, I only found three or four bugs, and they were all bugs that did not affect the use.
Chang You’s waist was obviously straighter.
It’s not easy!
I found so many bugs last time that my face was swollen.
This time Chang You and his brothers worked hard and finally fixed most of the bugs.
In order to prepare for this report, everyone conducted surprise inspections for several days. Only after they could not find any bugs did they come here with confidence.
Even so, Mr. Pei still found three small bugs, which shocked Chang You.
Does Pei always have the kind of physique that naturally triggers bugs?
But no matter what, this report was considered a success.
Chang You thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Pei, the system is almost stable. Can we start working on new system functions now?"
Pei Qian: "..."
Don't give up!
Pei Qian's face darkened and he said seriously: "It's not advisable to aim too high!"
"Where has this come from? There are so many areas that can be optimized in the native Eldraine system. Are you satisfied just by correcting a few bugs?"
"Go back and continue to correct, the optimization of details is not enough!"
Chang You took the phone in confusion.
Not enough optimization in details? This has caught up with most domestic brands, how could it not be enough?
But he didn’t dare to ask any more questions, so he could only silently take the phone, planning to go back and figure it out on his own.
This time, I still haven’t been able to advance the system development work to the next step.
Although the product of this mobile phoneThe shape is getting clearer and clearer, but Chang You feels that it is getting further and further away from his expectations...
