After hearing what Chen Xiao said, Zhang Chi felt that the phone developed by his team was indeed full of loopholes.
Zhang Chi itself is also using a Nokia slider phone.
These shortcomings mentioned by Chen Xiao were publicly or internally complained about during the use process.
Now there is a 3G base station built by Huawei for Changtian Technology near the headquarters of Changtian Technology.
Employees within Changtian Technology use 3G mobile phones and can connect to the base station to use the 3G service network.
For example, you can read news, see pictures, and even watch videos online.
However, the screen is also a bit too small, and sometimes the subtitles cannot be clearly seen when watching videos.
With the development of technology, Zhang Chi also knows that the future development trend of mobile phones must be increasingly thinner and lighter.
The Nokia slider phone in his hand and this engineering machine modeled after the Nokia slider phone are divided into two parts: the screen and the buttons, so they are thicker and heavier.
Physical buttons will indeed malfunction and wear out after being used for a long time.
These are indisputable facts.
Chen Xiao guided and said: "So now that your team wants to improve these shortcomings, what methods will you take?"
"Don't be limited to existing technology. You are scientific researchers. Design is the first. Improving your design through research methods is the second."
Zhang Chi thought carefully about the question just now.
He said: "If I were designing a mobile phone, I would make it a candy bar phone regardless of the existing technology."
"But what I call a candy bar phone is not that half is the screen and half is the buttons, but that the screen and buttons are integrated, and the only key is the screen."
Zhang Chi said thoughtfully: "Motorola seems to have several touch-screen mobile phones, which should be based on this design concept."
"But..." Zhang Chi added: "This kind of mobile phone also has its major shortcomings."
"Problems will occur if the screen is touched for a long time, such as screen blur or wear and tear."
"Combining the buttons and the screen into one requires very high levels of touch control on the screen, and existing touch screen phones are very ineffective in terms of touch."
Chen Xiao nodded, Zhang Chi was not stupid.
Zhang Chi said: "So, we not only have to find ways to improve the chip baseband and antenna hardware of mobile phones, but we also have to work hard on the screen."
Zhang Chi thought that if he could produce a 3G mobile phone with a large screen and zero buttons that could be called up and hidden on the screen at any time, coupled with the powerful performance of Yinghuo OS, it would definitely be a hot seller.
What Chen Xiao just said made Zhang Chi deeply moved—scientific and technological workers must make the impossible they design possible possible.
Zhang Chi took a deep breath and said, "I understand! Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Zhang Chi immediately complied with his team and continued to research and tackle key problems.
Chen Xiao also hopes that his team can start to pay attention to key technologies of mobile phones such as screens and touch controls at this time.
It’s better to start working now than 10 years later.
And Chen Xiao also knows that it is impossible for all technologies to wait for him to click on the technology tree one by one.
The team he leads must be creative and have scientific research capabilities.
After Zhang Chi and others left, Wang Xiang said to Chen Xiao: "At present, it seems that our 3G mobile phone project has to be moved back."
Chen Xiao nodded.
Can Changtian Technology launch 3G mobile phones now?
sure.
Just like the engineering machine that Zhang Chi just built, he went overseas to purchase hardware according to Nokia's modules. Once assembled, and then equipped with a 3G baseband and Changtian Technology's Yinghuo system, it was a brand new 3G mobile phone that could be used in the market. Sales on.
Based on the current production costs of Tiangong Technology and the attractiveness of Changtian Technology's Yinghuo OS, the 3G mobile phones developed by Changtian Technology should have certain competitiveness in the global market.
but?
Chen Xiao said: "There are four most important core mechanisms of a smartphone, one is the baseband, one is the chip, one is the screen, and the other is the system."
"As for memory, storage, and even batteries, I personally think these are just icing on the cake at the same level of competition, not the core elements of smartphones."
"These four core components, if we have an advantage in two of them and are not constrained by other technology companies, then we can launch a mobile phone."
"Suppose we launch 3G mobile phones in a hurry. Even if we achieve certain results in a short period of time, we will still be constrained by the West due to hardware shortcomings."
"At that time, mobile phones will become like personal computers and become lame ducks."
Wang Xiang nodded and said: "Chip research and development is a very long process. I personally have another suggestion - whether it is possible to purchase some new product companies that are not valued in the West through acquisitions, and further develop on this basis. Complete R&D.”
This plan is feasible.
The company's scientific research process is originally a process of independent creation, absorption and then independent creation.
But won’t Changtian Technology make 3G mobile phones now?
of course not!
At present, the construction of domestic 3G base stations has not yet started.
Even if 3G mobile phones are produced, most of the markets are overseas.
Therefore, Changtian Technology can currently test the waters in the 3G market.
But instead of making mobile phones by myself, we are looking for cooperation with companies to get a feel for the mobile phone market.
When the time is right, it won’t be too late to launch your own mobile phone.
Mobile phones, chips, and system ecology are interrelated and indispensable.
Changtian Technology makes mobile phones just to launch its own system ecosystem, and it was also for this purpose that it cooperated with Nokia.
Now it's time to talk to Nokia about the Firefly OS mobile version application.
At this time, Finland, Nokia headquarters.
Ollila was quite angry.
Nokia lost one 3G order after another.
The first one is that the order from Deutsche Telekom was lost.
The second one is Taiguo.
The third one is that Russia’s 3G communications order was lost again.
The companies that steal Nokia's manual orders are without exception Warwick.
After Nokia saw Warwick's order quotation, it felt that this kind of opponent was simply unbeatable.
The price given by Warwick made Ollila feel like this - if Nokia won the bid, it would quickly subcontract the project to Warwick, because it would be more profitable to hire Warwick to do it than to do it by itself.
This leaves Nokia with nowhere to go!
Ollila just got another news.
Warwick's 3G communication technology comes from Xia Guo - Changtian Technology!
It’s Changtian Technology again!
Nokia and Ollila were full of conflicting emotions about this partner who was both good and evil.
Not only Nokia, but many communication companies such as Ericsson, Cisco, and Alcatel also hated Warwick and Changtian Technology at this time.
