In Chen Zifan’s impression, Samsung, Huawei, Honor, and vivo all prefer round watch designs, while Apple and OO prefer square watch designs. Xiaomi prefers square watches first and then round ones. Its products include both square watches and square watches…
I can't say which design is better. With Stardust Technology's current influence in China, even if it comes out with a hexagonal watch, the shipment volume will not be bad, but you can't do this kind of thing of destroying your own brand, and there are other things. reason.
There is only one version of the Stardust smart watch. According to Chen Zifan's idea, it is to be used with Stardust 3+, but there is nothing inappropriate with Stardust 3. Both mobile phones are very good and belong to the category of high-end phones.
It’s just that Stardust 3+ will be more extreme. In order to meet the diverse needs, Chen Zifan will also use two different materials for the Stardust smart watch, and match it with straps of various materials and colors.
If you want to change these, you need to buy additional ones, and it will bring you a lot of income from accessories. No wonder a certain fat man named Luo always likes to sell accessories under the emotional brand.
It is indeed very profitable. This can be seen from Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet. Colorful silicone protective cases and keyboard cases can be sold in large quantities every day. Sometimes a user will buy several mobile phone cases.
The positioning of the Stardust smart watch is also not low. Coupled with the craftsmanship of the Stardust factory... the price cannot be cheap. According to Chen Zifan's estimate, its final selling price can be controlled to within 2,000 to 3,000.
Mobile phones, tablets, Bluetooth headsets, smart watches... Such development seems to be no problem, but in fact it misses one of the most critical things: the network.
Tablets can only connect to ifi, and the usage scenarios are relatively fixed. Bluetooth headsets themselves do not have networking capabilities, so these two products will not be limited to mobile networks when they are launched, but smart watches are not.
Its usage scenarios are non-fixed, and it needs to share the network through the Stardust mobile phone. However, the 2G network of the Stardust mobile phone itself is not easy to use. After sharing it with a smart watch, it will be even more difficult to use, and the experience will be poor.
3G has made a big improvement, but it is fine on mobile phones, and it is still difficult to share with smart watches. It was not until the 5G era that smart watches from major manufacturers showed a state of blooming.
It doesn't matter, because the "Stardust Technology" in Chen Zifan's consciousness also has the new 4G patented technology. It just so happens that the three major operators have returned from the World Communications Conference and are ready to take the next step.
He can't influence other cities, but in Haicheng Stardust Technology's influence is definitely one of the best. Many older Haicheng locals don't admit this. They think there are Fortune 500 companies in Haicheng.
But none of the Fortune 500 companies in Haicheng has stronger cohesion and execution capabilities than Stardust Technology. Chen Zifan plans to cooperate with local operators first, abandon the promotion of 3G, and directly promote the new 4G.
As for some issues... we can still just use the official website as a shield. We should first establish a mobile communications research center and use this as a basis to release new 4G technologies and build Haicheng into the first 4G city.
However, this will be a major blow to some established communication manufacturers, such as ZTE, Huawei, oo, and Coolpad. These manufacturers are already researching 4G communication technology and have registered many technology patents. ….
If Stardust Technology directly prepares to pilot 4G in Haicheng... then they will lose the advantages they have accumulated before, and at the same time, foreign 4G patents will also lose their advantages. Rather than letting foreign countries dominate, it is better to do it themselves.
There is no need to worry too much about safety. Judging from the official's increasing efforts to support Stardust Technology, it can be seen that they do not care how many advanced technologies Stardust Technology has mastered, they only care whether it is their own.
The Stardust 3+ will be the world's first true 4G mobile phone. However, the popularization of 4G is not that easy. It requires many things. Stardust 3+ cannot be used without a 4G network.
Don’t forget that Chen Zifan’s new 4G is an upgrade and transformation of existing 3G communication technology. It not only supports existing 3G communication, but also can receive 2G signals in areas where 3G signals are underdeveloped.
You can still make calls even in deep mountains and old forests. Unless you are in a mine, otherwise
Signals can be received in most areas of China.
Chen Zifan will never forget Apple’s signal gate incident. Instead of trying to change Apple’s signal, Jobs taught people how to hold their phones correctly…
This seems a bit outrageous to him, so the signal of Stardust mobile phone has always been a point of great importance to him. Since Stardust 1, he has been using a wrap-around antenna, and the signal reception capability is much stronger than that of ordinary mobile phones.
As a 4G mobile phone, Stardust 3+ is more about promoting breakthroughs in communication technology, giving people hope, and using this hope to promote products.
At that time, people will have a concept: I bought a 4G mobile phone in advance when 4G base stations first became popular. Although the price of 5999 is a bit expensive, its configuration is really high! 4G mobile phones can last for many years!
Chen Zifan first finished the planning of the Stardust smart watch, and then began to prepare for the mobile communications research center. He did not even need to build a research center, he could just use the official one.
In this name, Chen Zifan found the persons in charge of the three major operators, and then contacted the local persons in charge of the three major operators. After some communication, the persons in charge were all shocked:
"You mean...4G technology?"
"Really? Then why don't we know about it? It turns out you had already planned it at the World Communications Conference! I even said it couldn't be possible at the time!"
"From the official research center? Hiss~ Are those old men so fierce? No wonder we didn't know before, the confidentiality measures there are very strict."
"He... He has been engaged in research and development for more than ten years and has hardly left the research center. Do you think it can be less strict?"
"Only piloting it in Haicheng? I understand!"
"But we need to make sure first..."
The heads of the three major operators contacted the official heads to confirm. After receiving a small part of the new 4G technology a week later, the plan to pilot 4G in Haicheng was finalized.
The current three major operators are also in a dilemma. On one side, they have just obtained the 3G license at a huge cost, and on the other side are the new 4G technologies that are overshadowing 3G in all aspects.
Which one is promoted is a problem. If 3G technology is promoted first, the cost can be recovered. But with Haicheng piloting it, I am afraid that 3G communication technology will not last long.
We can promote 4G first... Base station construction has to be started from scratch. It may not be obvious in a sea city, but it needs to be promoted to all parts of the country... The amount of work is not generally large, and the 3G base stations built previously were in vain. ….
Because 3G base stations are gradually spreading downwards from big cities, and so are 4G base stations. In this way, the two will conflict, unless they are directly upgraded to 4G base stations on the basis of 3G base stations, which is almost the same.
In the end, the three major operators decided to recover the cost of 3G first. Stardust Technology is here in Haicheng, and the officials have given the task. They only need to cooperate and build 5,000 4G base stations according to the plan.
Only in this way can it be basically spread to every corner of Haicheng. The 5G pilot city in Chen Zifan's memory also built 5,000 base stations, and the speed was very fast. Basically, the project was initiated at the beginning of the year and the construction was completed by the middle of the year.
However, the productivity in the 5G era is much stronger than now. Now we have to produce 4G base stations first. Even if the three parties work together to promote it, it will be considered very fast to complete more than half of the progress at the Stardust conference next year.
According to the information given by the research center, as long as 4G technology is available, it is not difficult to produce base stations. It may take some time in the early stage, but once production starts, it will only take about 15 days to produce 5,000 base stations.
And they also gave Chen Zifan a specific time to complete production and enter construction status from the beginning of November to the end of January next year. It is expected that the construction will be completed in September next year and all will be put into use.
In this way, Chen Zifan can safely focus on the Changhe chip project and create more Stardust ecological chain products around the Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ mobile phones.
The current Changhe project team is also progressing very quickly. In the early stage, Stardust Technology only had one chip production line, so there were not many things that needed to be prepared. Once it reaches a certain scale,
It will be expanded to three chip production lines.
Three production lines are enough to maintain the operation of Stardust Technology for a long time. Of course, these are all things later. It is expected that the first start-up test of the Changhe project team will be scheduled around January next year.
At that time, not only will the production line be tested, but the Changhe 3 chip will also have to be designed, taped out, and put on the Stardust 3+ for test machine testing... Thanks to Chen Zifan's [Stardust Technology], otherwise so much work would be really tiring.
Just take chip design as an example. If there are no basic drawings in [Stardust Technology], it is likely that the optical tape-out will be required several times, and the cost of time and money will be higher.
There is nothing we can do about it. Stardust Technology must have its own chip design and production capabilities. Otherwise, Unisoc is an example. Chips designed for many years can only be used in the low-end field, and cannot even move up to the mid-range.
The Tanggula that was finally designed... turned out to be delayed in mass production. Qualcomm has updated to Snapdragon 8Gen2, MediaTek has updated to Dimensity 9200, and Unisoc is still working hard to hit the mid-range...
It’s not that they don’t work hard to design chips, but that they are restricted by chip foundries. Therefore, it is more reliable for Stardust Technology to master the technology on its own.
During this period, Chen Zifan also started a new project, dividing an open space on the left side of Stardust Plaza, Stardust Direct Store, and Xinghan Direct Store to build a large open-air venue...
By the way, we received a new subsidy. This large venue is usually a stadium, but during the Stardust press conference, it will become a super large press conference venue.
Especially for products such as Xinghan ni and Xinghan 01, ordinary conference centers can no longer satisfy them, and there must be sufficient display space.
Anyway, there are subsidies, the construction cost is not high, it is also good for Stardust Technology, and by the way, this venue can be used to attract more people, why not?
Chen Zifan has also earned the title of "Infrastructure Madman". Other technology companies are eager to save costs and even rent office buildings and laboratories. Stardust Technology is better off and builds various infrastructure projects on-site.
He is also using this method to send out a signal. Stardust Technology is here and will not go anywhere. On the way to an uncertain future, he must also bring Haicheng and countless ordinary people with him. . .
