Some heavy users even keep their phones on for more than 10 hours a day. Under such high-intensity use, even one battery of Stardust 1 is useless, not to mention that the battery cannot be replaced directly.
If you charge it while using it, with a charging power of 5, the charging speed will not only be slow, but the use experience when connected to the charging cable will be particularly poor.
Chen Zifan has experienced the era of comprehensive development of smartphones. Some mobile phone manufacturers even increased the charging power to 240, which alleviated battery life anxiety to a certain extent, but the power consumption rate also became faster.
In the Stardust community, there are many discussions about mobile phone battery every day. There is also a special topic:
"I can't help it. I just can't help it. I always want to see if anyone can send me a message, but when I open it, there is nothing except group messages."
"Now whenever I take out my mobile phone at home, my mother scolds me: Stop playing with your broken mobile phone. Look how near-sighted your eyes are."
"Fortunately, I live alone and no one talks about me, but I can't help staying up late. I stay up late every day and I'm in a trance when I go to work the next day..."
"Me too, I couldn't help but stay up late. My eyes were so sore when I woke up the next morning, and I had double images..."
"You look like a fruit cutter at first glance!"
"..."
As a result, various Internet masters jumped out to popularize Taoist culture and recuperate, and some popularized Buddhism to purify the six roots. There were even some speech videos about "hating iron but not steel" and "hating evil as much as hatred".
"Smartphones are destroying us! Life without struggle is incomplete! Days without struggle are a waste of time! Think about your family..."
There are many similar chicken soup literatures. The smartphone is just a cover. It can be replaced by any kind of martial arts, TV, game console, or computer. In fact, the starting point of this kind of chicken soup is good.
It has also received a lot of popularity, because most ordinary people in this era are obsessed with money and power. There are countless stories of grassroots rise to become big bosses in all walks of life, stimulating everyone to work hard.
Whenever someone says that they don’t make any money at work, that means they haven’t worked hard; whenever someone says that their academic performance is not good, that means they haven’t worked hard at all. Why can’t you if others can do it? Isn’t that a lack of effort?
Even Chen Zifan's case was picked up by some newspapers. When he was about to report it, he was warned by the officials, so it did not lead to large-scale publicity.
Unfortunately, this radical approach will directly lead to the birth of a large number of success masters in the near future, and even airports will be selling success chicken soup.
Of course, not many people care about the comments attacking smartphones. Just like future Apple products, let alone the SE and iPad standard versions that deceive people, clear inventories, and scold them, sales will still be high.
The same goes for smartphones. After finally making some money, who doesn’t want to buy a better mobile phone to play around with? What? Is it okay to use it? Are the key functions of Stardust 1 and other brands on the same level?
In the Stardust Forum, everyone just complained about the problem of mobile phones running out of battery quickly and charging slowly. As for staying up late and being in a trance, and having sore eyes after looking at them for a long time...
That's not a problem. If you don't buy a mobile phone for use, why don't you treat it as an offering to your ancestors?
Chen Zifan solved the problem of fast power consumption and slow charging. He first increased the battery specification of Stardust 2 to 3300 mAh, and then increased the fast charging power. It doesn’t need to be fast, 20 fast charging is enough.
In addition, Stardust 2 has to add something that Stardust 1 does not have: a front camera. This thing is a big killer. It not only solves the problem of selfies, but also tries to do beauty algorithms, face recognition, etc. .
At the same time, it will increase its appeal to female consumers and further expand the market share of Stardust mobile phones.
"So the focus of the Stardust 2 upgrade is to expand the size, upgrade the charging port, increase the charging power, add a front camera, improve the quality of the rear camera, and then add new features through the Stardust OS upgrade!"
As soon as he said it, Chen Zifan went directly to the private laboratory in the core area of the Stardust Factory and began to design the Stardust 2 model machine. Due to the addition of a front camera, the front face is basically the same as the Stardust 1.
"superior
The bottom is equally wide, the left and right are equally narrow..."
"In order to ensure visual integration, the camera also needs to be specially blackened..."
"Continuing the rear camera design of Stardust 1, we still choose a metal middle frame + glass cover..."
"According to data feedback, although glossy glass covers are not resistant to fingerprints, sales are higher..."
Frosted glass is indeed more practical, but it lacks a bit of texture and is not "high-end" enough.
Stardust 2 is equivalent to an enlarged + upgraded version of Stardust 1, but the starting price will not change. It still starts at 3,999. By then, users of Stardust 1 may feel a "stab in the back", and there is nothing we can do about it. thing.
The update of electronic products is very fast. Stardust Technology's strategy of updating once a year is relatively slow. To create high-quality products, it is impossible to choose the tactics of sea of machines like Android manufacturers.
Think about the iPhone and iPad that "Kidney Machine Brother" sacrificed his kidneys in exchange for. Later, he could buy one at the seafood market for a few dozen yuan, but he himself was bedridden for ten years and suffered tremendous suffering...
"We must be sensible when dealing with electronic products, but if one day the Stardust mobile phone becomes the ruler of the smartphone market, the frequency of updates can also be reduced..."
Regardless of the upgrades of Stardust 2, with the workmanship and quality of Stardust 1, it will be no problem to use it for more than three years. In addition to Stardust 2, you can also choose another product next: Stardust Tablet.
Chen Zifan does not plan to follow the original historical development trajectory, first expanding from small screens to large screens, and there will be a long period of time in the middle. Instead, he plans to make a 10.8-inch tablet directly.
"This size of right-angled frame + CNC cutting chamfering, coupled with a magnetic protective cover, magnetic keyboard, capacitive stylus... But the hardware is not the difficulty, the focus is the adaptation of Stardust OS..."
This is already a disguised attack on the laptop market. If Stardust OS takes this opportunity to launch some specialized office software, the Stardust Tablet will be more comprehensive and more than just a drama-watching artifact.
"We need to inform Zhao Wushang to put some pressure on the Internet companies we cooperate with. No matter how slow their speed is, they can hardly keep up with the development of our hardware..."
To Steve Jobs's fault, he still didn't know what kind of situation Apple would face when it entered the Chinese market. While Apple was building the iPhone 1, Stardust Technology had already begun preparing for next year's products.
After solving the product design, the next thing to solve is accessories and technical issues. Regarding accessories, Stardust Technology has its own channels. Chen Zifan informed Zhao Wushang that he had contacted the supplier he had been working with.
Then we started to customize the accessories according to the product size. Since similar products had not been produced before, the accessories for Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet had to be molded again.
These suppliers were all dumbfounded after hearing Chen Zifan's request: "Didn't Stardust 1 just open a mold, and it's only been a few days, and a new mold is needed?"
But they all signed confidentiality agreements and knew what to ask and what not to ask. They just looked at the oversized frosted glass drawing and fell into deep thought...
"Is there such a big mobile phone?"
"Could it be a super large MP4?"
"Why does the protective case have to be so big? Is Stardust Technology going to make a portable TV?"
"It's not impossible..."
Then Chen Zifan approached Wang Jinli: "I need you to help me find a keyboard manufacturer whose strength and quality are trustworthy, and customize a batch of keyboards..."
"Hey~ no problem."
As for whether these suppliers will leak the news... they are professional after all. Unless Stardust Technology deliberately releases some new product accessory information in their name, that's about the same.
Therefore, more than ten years later, the so-called "exploits from industry insiders" and "supply chain news" were all proactively released by mobile phone manufacturers to attract a group of traffic.
Once Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet are established as the two main products next year, the busiest thing is not the suppliers, but Stardust Network. They not only have to update Stardust 1, but also adapt to Stardust 2 and Tablet.
In the Stardust Network Building, An He looked at Stardust who was already busy and crazy.
The OS engineer couldn't help but feel lingering fear: "Fortunately, I chose to make games instead of continuing to make systems, otherwise I would have been bald this year..."
If you look at the engineers responsible for Stardust OS, there is no one who is not losing their hair. There is a saying circulating within the Stardust network: the less hair you have, the stronger you are. Only bald men are worthy of Stardust OS...
In contrast, the game project team that An He is responsible for is much more relaxed. They are currently specializing in a racing game called "Phantom Mirage". The original name was "Phantom" or "Mirage".
It can be seen from the name that this is a dishonest racing game with no straightforward theme. It has names similar to "Horizon", "Need for Speed", "Speed Ride", "Simulator" and other games. .
"Haicheng Phantom" is more like an infinite test drive in gameplay, with a relatively open virtual map. The story background is that there is a giant floating city over the sea 120 kilometers away from Haicheng.
Players can receive a single villa in the floating city at the beginning and have an initial capital of 50,000 yuan. They can choose to rent different cars from brand car stores in the floating city and participate in racing competitions in the floating city.
In this way, you can further obtain funds to buy cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, or renovate your own single villa. Of course, there is more than one way to obtain funds, and you can also complete some exploration tasks...
In terms of gameplay, "SH City Phantom" is more in line with Chinese local culture, but in terms of production level... it is much worse than Infinite Test Drive, which will be released next year. This can't be helped, after all, it is a mobile game.
The stitched chip on Stardust 1 does not have that strong image rendering capability at all. Even the Dimensity 200 being developed by Stardust Technology and MediaTek cannot do it, so the main focus is the real simulator...
If you want to pursue image quality, the current hardware level is really not up to standard. The current level of completion of "Phantom Mirage" is actually quite high. The reason why there is no news yet is because it still needs several rounds of investment.
