"Where's the camera? Where's the front camera? Has it been canceled again? Will it become the same as Stardust 1?"
"It's not cancelled! Look carefully! There is a small round black dot in the center of the forehead on the screen of Stardust 3!"
"Is that a camera? It feels a bit awkward...but it seems to be quite harmonious after a second look!"
"There is a camera in the middle of the screen... Is this really okay? The screen won't break after just using it, right?"
"Don't worry, you can think of problems that so many developers at Stardust Technology wouldn't think of?"
"Do not worry…"
The first product to debut is Stardust 3. As an updated model of Stardust 2, the configuration of Stardust 3 is naturally improved to a higher level. In the old tradition, the opening is still the advertising video of Stardust 3, but this time it is not too Same.
Obviously the theme of the press conference was "Internet of Everything", but in the end there was only one product, Stardust 3. Even the last Stardust 2 was released together with all the products.
But even if the audience noticed it, they wouldn't care because the atmosphere couldn't calm down.
As soon as the promotional video appeared, it showed a brand new design to countless viewers present or not present: a circular hole-punch screen. Compared with the original one that is equally wide at the top and bottom and narrow at the left and right, the screen-to-body ratio is obviously larger.
Chen Zifan believes that the circular hole-punch screen is more harmonious, and it is also the most popular and best-selling design in the Android camp in the market. Not to mention the notch screen of the Apple camp, Chen Zifan is unlikely to use it.
It’s not that he has any prejudice against Liu Haiping, but that he wants to pursue “a complete screen.”
Some manufacturers choose to use a "mechanical" method to achieve this. For example, oppofindx uses a dual-track periscope lifting hidden camera. Not only is the front a complete screen, but the back is also a complete backplane.
But such products are only temporary, and the mechanical lifting structure will also cause various problems when used for a long time. Later, major manufacturers began to try under-screen cameras in an attempt to achieve a full screen.
The final result was that Xiaomi MIX4 was sprayed into a sieve. Only ZTE still insisted on the under-screen camera plan, which was eventually used in gaming phones.
I'm afraid only users of gaming phones don't care about the photo quality of the front camera. It doesn't matter if it's clear or not, as long as the gameplay is powerful.
Regarding "true full screen", Chen Zifan already has his own solution. The center-hole screen is an attempt to get closer to "true full screen". Judging from the feedback from the audience, the effect is quite good.
"The front of Stardust 3 still uses a 5.4-inch OLED screen. Compared with the screen of Stardust 2, this screen uses a higher density and more reasonable pixel arrangement pattern. We call it:
Diamond arrangement!
The diamond-arranged screen will have stronger color brightness than the original arrangement, a wider color gamut, and higher color display accuracy. At the same time, its maximum excitation brightness under strong light can reach 800nit! "
Having said that, there is actually no necessary connection between color display accuracy and arrangement. It has to be debugged by the mobile phone manufacturers themselves. Samsung, as the largest screen supplier in the future, cannot adjust the color accurately.
Although the audience didn't understand, they also knew that the screen of Stardust 3 was a level higher than that of Stardust 2.
The maximum excitation brightness of 800nit is actually still unclear at noon in midsummer. Only when it reaches at least 1200nit will it have a good look and feel. However, using the mobile phone under the sun at noon is likely to cause serious heat generation of the mobile phone.
It doesn't matter. First, most people don't understand how bright 800nit is. Second, other manufacturers' mobile phones are not as good as Stardust 3, and they can't even beat Stardust 2, so there is no problem in promoting it like this.
You said Stardust 3 cannot be seen clearly under the sun...
Is it clearer than other phones?
Stardust Technology does have a better OLED screen, but the cost of that screen is relatively high, which is piled on the higher-level Stardust 3+. The other configuration parameters of Stardust 3+ are also upgraded on the basis of Stardust 3.
Of course, Stardust 3+ also has things that Stardust 3 does not have, such as 4G, dual cameras, etc.
like…
Taking advantage of the circular hole-punch screen of Stardust 3, Chen Zifan introduced the imaging system: "The front and rear image configuration of Stardust 3 still uses 5-megapixel cameras, but the rear camera has added optical image stabilization.
The biggest difference between the so-called optical anti-shake and electronic anti-shake is that optical anti-shake is implemented in hardware. This is the principle of analyzing video...so it will appear more stable when taking photos and videos! "
Optical image stabilization is not a new thing. Many photographers know that optical image stabilization was also used on last year’s new Nokia phone. However, Stardust Technology was the first to do this in smartphones.
There is a simple comparison video after the principle video, which is a comparison between Stardust 2 and Stardust 3. The former will have a shaking screen when taking pictures and recording videos, and the shaking will also cause the screen to tear.
In fact, this tearing feeling is already very slight due to the electronic image stabilization algorithm of Stardust 2, but when compared with Stardust 3... the gap becomes apparent.
One word stands out for Stardust 3's photography and video recording: stability. Not only are the images in the preview frame very stable, but the finished products are also very stable. Especially in the video, there is almost no jitter.
Chen Zifan also recorded a video on the spot. From the computer screen projection to the big screen, it can be seen that the video shot by Stardust 3 is very comfortable even during some big movements, which is more than a little better than Stardust 2.
"What you see is what you get!"
As soon as Chen Zifan finished speaking, there was thunderous applause again. The image upgrade was reasonable and reasonable. Many users who wanted to shoot videos were already interested, but the stakes were not high enough.
Because most people who like photography, as long as they are not too poor, will try their best to buy a more professional equipment instead of simply using a mobile phone to take pictures and videos. Although mobile phones are very convenient, although mobile phones do not require post-production...
So they comforted themselves: "Let's take another look and see if there are any other upgrades..."
have!
The battery capacity of Stardust 3 is still 3300 mAh, but its charging has been upgraded to 30, which is also a way to improve battery life in disguise.
3300 mAh is considered a small limit for 5.4-inch mobile phones. If you want to exceed the capacity, you must either increase the thickness of the body or reduce the size of other accessories. How to increase the energy density of lithium batteries.
"I once said that the "Era of Speed" is not the theme of a certain year, but a long-term development process. Last year we released 20 Fast Charge, bringing smartphones into the era of fast charging, and this year——
We have made further breakthroughs based on 20 fast charging! Stardust 3 will be equipped with 30% fast charging technology that is faster, equally safe and ensures battery life. Next, please see our actual charging test! "
The four large screens directly above the conference platform simultaneously displayed the actual charging test of Stardust 3. When Stardust 3 was completely out of power and a red mark appeared on the screen and could not be turned on, after plugging in the 30 fast charge of the fast USB interface...
When charged to 1%, Stardust 3 turns on. When charged to 20%, it only takes 9 minutes and 30 seconds. When charged to 50%, it takes 27 minutes and 36 seconds. When charged to 100%, it automatically cuts off the power...
It only took 59 minutes and 3 seconds!
The audience at the scene was suddenly in an uproar:
"I threw up! I thought Stardust 2's 20 fast charge was fast enough, but Stardust 3 turned around and reached 30 fast charge! It was fully charged in one hour?"
"Damn! 30! Fully charged in one hour! This is really fast charging! Nearly 40 minutes faster than the charging time of Stardust 2! Is 30 so powerful?"
"Stardust 2 is 20, Stardust 3 is 30, and Stardust 4... shouldn't be 40? Then why buy Stardust 3? Just buy Stardust 4!"
"I just bought Stardust 2 at the Stardust Direct Store for 3399 the day before yesterday... Is it too late to return it now?"
"Damn it, you bought Stardust 2 even though you knew Stardust 3 was going to be released? You can't buy it even if the price is reduced!"
"It's not that I can't help it..."
"Okay, okay! As long as everything is there, you should be able to return it, but don't worry, watch the press conference first, maybe Stardust 3 won't be improved much.
? "
"That's right! If you only need a 30% fast charge upgrade, it doesn't matter if you buy a new phone or not!"
"That's wrong, there's still a screen!"
"..."
After the discussion, applause and cheers in the audience subsided a little, Chen Zifan continued:
"This is the continuation of the "Era of Speed". 20% fast charging brings smartphones into the era of fast charging, and 30% fast charging brings smartphones into the one-hour era! "
After saying that, Chen Zifan paused and continued to introduce: "Wired fast charging is not the end of our breakthrough. This time Stardust 3 also uses a more convenient charging technology: the same 30 wireless fast charging!"
Let’s not mention that wireless fast charging is inconvenient. When buying a mobile phone, many people think they need this function. However, except for those who often drive, few people will use wireless fast charging after buying a mobile phone.
Of course, some people have transformed their bedside lamps into wireless chargers. Chen Zifan is also trying to make this type of accessories, and is also preparing to launch some customized wireless charging services in Stardust Mall.
For example, customized wireless charging bedside lamps, wireless charging desks, wireless charging mobile phone holders, etc.
These products will be handed over to manufacturers in the Stardust Ecological Chain Plan, and Stardust Technology only needs to extract the technology licensing fee for the wireless charging technology.
Many viewers were also looking forward to Chen Zifan's last boiling experiment again. However, Chen Zifan had no such plan and threw out a new technology.
"Wireless charging?"
Many people don’t understand this. How to charge wirelessly? Isn't that a joke? Since there is wireless charging, why use a wired charger?
Then a staff member opened the trunk of Stardust ni, took out a round wireless charger from the trunk and handed it to Chen Zifan. After turning on the power, Chen Zifan placed the Stardust 3 on it.
I saw a sky blue fast charging lightning logo suddenly lit up on Stardust 3. Sky blue represents 30 fast charging, and light green represents the previous 20 fast charging.
"this…"
"Damn it! Are you so stupid?"
"How is this done? How is it possible?"
"It should be using coils...I have seen the principle of wireless charging coils in a magazine before!"
"Is it really feasible to put it on a mobile phone?"
"Didn't you see it?"
Chen Zifan gave a brief demonstration, then picked up the Stardust 3 and said: "Wireless charging will also automatically cut off the power when it is fully charged. Compared with wired charging, its power conversion will have some losses, and the charging speed will be slower. Charging from 0 It takes about 1 hour and 5 minutes to reach 100!"
It is 5 minutes slower than wired, which is not unacceptable, but the sharp-eyed audience soon discovered a problem. The other end of the round wireless charger is connected to the power adapter and data cable of Stardust 3...
"No, I want to ask, I need to plug the charging cable into the wireless charger, and then charge the phone through the wireless charger. During this period, I can't play with the phone while charging... So what are you trying to do?"
"It seems to make sense! Isn't it unnecessary to take off your pants to show off your pants? It's not practical!"
"It's not bad. You can put your phone directly on it when you sleep, and you don't have to touch the plug!"
"It's better than nothing! And haven't you heard? Xinghanni has a wireless charging function!"
"Damn it! That's it! I was still thinking about wireless charging at the time, but now I understand it all!"
"This is awesome! If I have Stardust 3 and Star Hanni at the same time, it's okay if my phone runs out of battery. I can put my phone to charge as soon as I get in the car. When I get to my destination... my phone is almost full. ah!"
"??? I'm not here to look at my cell phone? Why are you suddenly interested in that little tram?"
"Me too!"
Chen Zifan also understands what the audience is thinking, but he is not prepared to explain anything. Wireless charging is very easy to use for users who need it. For users who don’t need it, they may not need it once until they change their phones.
In order to save time, he directly
Let’s start with the introduction of one parameter: chip. Generally speaking, mobile phone manufacturers are the first to introduce chips, but Stardust 3’s Dimensity 300 can only be considered half of its own chip.
"Stardust 3 is equipped with a quad-core chip with integrated 3G baseband: Dimensity 300. Its comprehensive performance and image processing capabilities...are 21% to 33% higher than those of Dimensity 200. The geek benchmark score is 21513 points !
Compared to chips, I think everyone may be more interested in 3G. I also understand the pain of 2G. The emergence of 3G is to improve the network transmission speed of mobile communications. Let me give you a brief demonstration..."
In the picture, after turning on the 3G network on the Stardust 3 in Chen Zifan's hand, the download speed of the Mirage game reached 1.1MB per second, which is completely different from the 50-100KB download speed in 2G.
Countless Stardust users who had suffered from 2G suddenly became excited. After waiting for so long, weren't they just waiting for 3G? Now that 3G has finally come out, it can be compared with ordinary home WiFi. What is there to be dissatisfied about?
"Quick! So fucking fast!"
"My Stardust 1 is finally discharged from the army!"
"Downloading 1MB in one second? Is this 3G? It's so cool, right? Now you don't have to use WiFi every day..."
"Me too! I squat in front of the hotel every day to use the WiFi. Once the boss saw me and thought I was homeless, so he insisted on letting me in for a bowl of noodles."
"Did you go?"
"I went... and had a bowl of mutton braised noodles. I also added a side of mutton and got a bottle of drink as a gift."
"???"
