But Nokia is the largest mobile phone brand after all. It doesn't matter what the facts are. The various R&D promotional materials released by Nokia in the early years can easily make people think that they are well prepared for anything they do.
Foreign media reporters also mentioned Stardust 1:
"We often hear a statement: Stardust 1 is a mobile phone from the future, ushering in the era of smartphones, and it is so perfect that many people find it difficult to imagine how to surpass this product."
Nokia diplomats were a little disdainful:
"Motorola's Martin Cooper brought mobile phones to the world. They are proud of it, but their products in recent years have made people uninterested. Why? Stardust Technology is no exception."
Motorola:? ? ?
What does it mean to just accept an interview and then pull us out and sneeze at us? It is true that Motorola cannot sell Nokia, but it is still the second best seller.
"But in the Chinese market, the monthly sales of Stardust 1 have reached 8 million units. If it were not for insufficient production capacity, the sales of Stardust 1 are likely to exceed 10 million units in a single month. This is an unprecedented achievement, enough to Nokia is scared."
"Please, you also said it was in China. China does have a huge population and huge market potential. Our products are also very popular there, and our annual sales far exceed those of Stardust Technology.
fear? This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year. As I said, Stardust 1 only had a slight first-mover advantage. Have you forgotten that we sold nearly 300 million mobile phones in 2005?
The Chinese market is everything to Stardust Technology, but it is not everything to us. Stardust 1 is indeed excellent, but it is not unsurpassable. Soon we will come up with better products to prove this point. "
"When exactly is that?"
"Don't worry, we will announce the answer to this question at any time..."
After talking for a long time, Nokia's diplomat did not give an accurate letter. It was not that he did not want to give it, but that he had no way to give it. He had to stabilize external public opinion first, and then seize the time to launch his first smartphone.
After finishing the media interview, the Nokia diplomat changed his appearance and began to curse:
"Damn it! Stardust Technology was still producing copycat mobile phones two years ago. Why is it developing so fast?"
Nokia has been studying the Stardust 1 for nearly a month, and they know how powerful the Stardust 1 phone is. A retina screen alone is enough for them to drink a pot, and it also has better design and packaging technology.
The most troublesome thing for them is that their technical department has no way to deal with Stardust OS. The work of transforming the Symbian system cannot be completed in a month or two, and it is too late to build a new system.
So they are preparing to launch a Nokia mobile phone with ultra-high-level hardware configuration and the latest version of Symbian system. The so-called latest version of Symbian is actually a version that specializes in operating experience and smoothness.
"We don't need to become Stardust OS in a short time. The Symbian system has our own advantages, as long as it is smooth enough and the experience is good enough..."
After reading the foreign media interview with Nokia diplomats, Chen Zifan had to admit that Nokia was still the same Nokia. Their choice was exactly the same as when facing Apple 3GS, focusing on high-end hardware configuration.
Coupled with a silky-smooth Symbian system, the user experience is no worse than that of Apple's 3GS. After all, Apple's original unnamed Apple OS versions have many bugs, but they are more powerful.
"If I remember correctly, Nokia's product that competed head-on with Apple's 3GS in 2009 was the Nokia N86. What is it this time? N85?"
Chen Zifan shook his head. In fact, the Nokia diplomat was right about one thing. Stardust Technology did only have the Chinese market. Who said he didn't want to go out?
Firstly, Stardust Technology’s foundation in China is not solid enough. Secondly, if Stardust Technology’s products are sold in more developed places, they will definitely encounter various obstacles. If they are sold in underdeveloped places, their The product does not have a low starting price like Redmi.
"It is always difficult for our products to be exported. I still remember that there was a factory where outsiders were helping us.
In the name of testing products, they take away the products, then replace them with their own trademarks and sell them back to China..."
Therefore, the best way is to lay a solid foundation in China first, continue to implement the "three-generation strategy", and resist the impact of international brands first, and then find a breakthrough in the process.
What caught Chen Zifan's attention even more was Apple's latest information. Jobs, who had been silent for a while, finally appeared in front of the media. When asked about the po's product line, Jobs released a bombshell:.
"We will bring a product that can change the world before 2007..."
After hearing the news, countless Apple fans were very excited. After waiting for such a long time for new products, Jobs finally gave them a positive answer.
Don’t think that there were no Apple fans before the iPhone was released. The actual situation is that Apple fans are not only numerous and widely distributed, but also account for a high proportion of die-hard fans.
Looking back on when Apple was about to go bankrupt, a group of Apple fans not only supported it with their own money, but also went to shopping malls to promote Apple products without even being paid. This is the power of Apple fans.
When asked about Stardust 1 and Stardust Technology, Jobs was very confident and also changed his previous product layout plan.
"Stardust Technology has broken my inherent concept of Huaxia Technology Company. I am thinking that maybe the Chinese market is different from what we thought. I will consider letting our new products enter China in the future..."
There are also apple fans in China, but the apple fans in China are completely different from the apple fans in other places. Normal and rational apple fans are at the level of giant pandas, and they have to withstand the attacks of irrational apple fans...
The original release date of the first-generation Apple was January 9, 2007, and the launch date was June 59. In the middle period, it was because there were too many bugs in the first-generation Apple OS that it was not released for a long time.
Fortunately, the final Apple 1 did not disappoint people. For the first time, it made people feel what a "smartphone" is, what a product that looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie is, and allowed Apple to successfully transform.
However, what really gave Apple a foothold in the world was not the Apple 1, but the Apple 3GS. At the same time, Jobs also used this product to break into the Chinese mobile phone market and bloodbath all major domestic mobile phone brands.
It's a pity that Stardust Technology has appeared. On the surface, Steve Jobs looked down upon the Chinese market. In fact, he was afraid of losing such a big piece of the cake and worried that Stardust Technology would completely unify the Chinese mobile phone industry.
By then, under the leadership of Stardust Technology, the Chinese market will be monolithic, and so-called international brands will not be able to penetrate it at all, so Jobs changed his strategy and prepared to directly enter the market to test the waters.
What he doesn't know is that Chen Zifan has taken great pains to be wary of Apple. According to his estimation, the release date of Apple 1 may be earlier, but the launch time cannot be earlier than this year.
It just so happens that Stardust Technology’s products are updated every year, so sooner or later they will run into Apple 1:
"If Apple dares to come, let them see the power of the Stardust ecological chain..."
"Whether it's Nokia N85 or Apple 1, you can give it a try. It would be better if Android is also available. HTC, Samsung, please give me some help..."
One is fighting, and two are fighting. The more competitors there are, the happier Chen Zifan is. Rather than coming one by one, it is better to have a big fight all at once. If he wins, Stardust Technology will be the ruler of the Chinese market.
Next year, Stardust Technology will focus on two products: Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet. Stardust 2 is an upgraded version of Stardust 1. Chen Zifan plans to further increase the screen size to 5.4 inches.
If the 5.4-inch screen is placed in 2022, it will be a proper small-screen mobile phone, but if it is placed in 2007, Stardust 2 will be a large-screen flagship.
4.8 inches is still a bit too small. The size of 5.4 inches is similar to the Apple 13. It is also small, but very delicate. At the same time, it is also laying the foundation for the future. The size will not be changed for a long time.
For example, Stardust 2 is 5.4 inches, Stardust 3 is also 5.4 inches, Stardust 4 is also 5.4 inches, but higher-positioned models such as Stardust 3+ and Stardust 4+ are 6.4 inches.
, used to distinguish different products.
6.4 inches is already comparable to the size of mainstream mobile phones in the future. Any larger size will affect the grip, and any smaller size will be the size of the standard Stardust mobile phone.
"Stardust Mobile only needs three generations of products to lay the foundation for the development of smartphones!"
Chen Zifan is not going to play the tricks of cutting leeks. Every year, the shell and chip are replaced with a new generation of mobile phones. Fully developing technology is his goal, but he will not leave behind the mobile phone and will come up with new things.
Regarding Stardust 2, in addition to a larger and more powerful screen size, he also prepared a new thing: a USB interface similar to a full-featured Type-C.
It’s also interesting to say that Apple invented the Type-C interface, but it has never been used on its own mobile phones. Instead of waiting for Apple to launch Type-C in the future more than ten years later, it is better to make something similar now.
The charging interface on Stardust 1 itself is not easy to use and its durability is not high. Simply replace it with a new interface that is more convenient, more durable, and compatible with low-power fast charging to unify subsequent Stardust products.
However, with the current technology of Stardust Technology, it may not be able to reach the level of full-featured Type-C. This does not matter. Chen Zifan has only one goal: to be compatible with fast charging first and install fast charging on Stardust 2.
In the Stardust community, many people post every day complaining about the battery of Stardust 1, although it is large, but the charging time is too long. It can take just one night, and it takes more than 6 hours to charge with the screen off.
Why are there more and more complaints like this? Didn’t the previous key-function machines also need to be charged overnight?
That's what I say, but who would play with a functional phone for several hours, let alone several hours? There are very few who play for more than half an hour.
