At the same time, the screen quality has been greatly upgraded compared to the previous generation screen. The new display substrate can make the entire screen display better and last longer.
However, the screen size of Stardust 4 is still 5.4 inches, which is the same size as Stardust 3.
The screen size of Stardust 4+ is 6.4 inches. The difference between the two is only 1 inch, but they create completely different feelings. One is small and exquisite, and the other is high-end and majestic, which can immediately distinguish the positioning of the two products.
And this time, the screen of Stardust 4+ has been upgraded to a high refresh rate of 90hz, which is not available on Stardust 4. First, because the screen of Stardust 4 is relatively small, the experience after upgrading to high refresh rate will not be too obvious.
The second is to make up for the 2,000 yuan price difference between Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+. Otherwise, how can it reflect the status of Stardust 4+ as a "top flagship phone"?
But this does not mean that Stardust 4 is not worth buying, because Stardust 4 has a lower threshold, and strictly speaking, the hardware is only half a generation behind Stardust 4+.
The difference is really small.
The two models also have major upgrades in other configurations, such as single-core 50W fast charging, such as the specifications of the front and rear cameras. Even if the Changhe 4 series chip is still not enough, it is much better than the previous generation.
There are also some functional improvements...
Both can create full gimmicks and selling points during the press conference. Chen Zifan is not surprised that the two models can do this. Behind the two models is a more different model.
That is the already confirmed exploration model Stardust-Yaobao, which does more than just sell a charger.
In terms of hardware specifications, it is almost the same as Stardust 4+, but in some aspects it is much more extreme than Stardust 4+, such as the elimination of physical buttons and all virtual buttons driven by 12 micro super motors built into the fuselage. to complete the operation.
Another example is that one version of its "transparent backplane technology" can completely show the inside of the fuselage to people's eyes, allowing people to feel the powerful industrial design and manufacturing capabilities of Stardust Technology.
There is also a version of photovariable glass that also incorporates solar charging function, but the size of the mobile phone is too small, and the solar charging method is very inefficient. The selling point of the gimmick is greater than the actual effect.
What’s really attractive is the adjustable photochromism, which makes it synonymous with “high-profile” walking.
In addition, Stardust-Yaopou can also become the equivalent of a "brain" through the air charger, coordinating and managing all the devices connected to the air charger, but this function has not yet been put into use.
We have to develop more products in the future~
That is to say, several versions of cutting leeks are launched.
Mobile phones can be charged over the air, but can tablets do the same? Can a laptop be used? Can smart watches also work? Bluetooth earphone? Even electric cars, electric motorcycles, and new energy vehicles? Everything you want is available!
Just need to pay more...
An ordinary Stardust tablet sells for about 3,000 yuan. With air charging and some new functions, is it too much to sell it for 8,000 or 9,000 yuan? Seems a bit excessive...
But that's not important!
Chen Zifan didn't even need to send Stardust Technology's marketing department to do research. He knew with all his might that with the emergence of this technology, even if its initial price was unreasonable, there would still be a lot of people coming to his doorstep.
Although Stardust Technology is not a purely commercial company that develops technology in order to make profits, the opportunity to make money must not be missed. It is true that some of the future products planned by Chen Zifan are a bit too expensive.
The amount of money invested is astronomical.
And if the price of air charging technology is suddenly reduced, a very big problem will arise.
The official side also made it clear to Chen Zifan that if they want to use air-to-air charging technology, it is okay to directly enter the mass production stage, but they must leave a buffer time so that they can prepare in advance.
This is already a big concession.
In fact, the official people are also very worried, because in their view, Stardust Technology can be called "epoch-making technology" not only through air charging, but also the solar charging on the Xinghan 01 car is even more powerful.
If developed to a complete stage, it can even change the energy structure of the world. Chen Zifan doesn't care. Anyway, he just wants to make products and sell them. As long as the official guarantees are enough, the photosolar technology will be left to the official side. That’s it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be that useful.
The officials can truly apply these "epoch-making technologies" in various fields, and at the same time, Chen Zifan can also send a signal to the other side:
"I'm just a salesperson, don't mess with me!"
This is one of the main reasons why Xinghan Zhixing can still receive a large amount of subsidies and enjoy ZC even when new energy vehicles have not yet developed and the government still needs various fuels to generate revenue.
Originally, Chen Zifan wanted to add some more "technological" elements to Stardust-Yaobao, such as surround screens, but in the end he only used a 6.8-inch slightly curved large screen. The screen parameters are exactly the same as those of Stardust 4+.
With ZIM Vision's current screen R&D and production capabilities, there is absolutely no problem in supporting a 2k+120hz mid-frequency PWM dimming mobile phone screen. It can even be equipped with a 144hz ultra-high brush screen on the PC side. But it's not that Chen Zifan doesn't want to do this, it's that he can't. Dry.
Leave some room for upgrades.
Moreover, high scores and high screen refreshes will bring about a very big problem, that is, the power consumption is very serious. Even if fast charging is available, the battery life may not be able to keep up.
Stardust Technology's smartphones can be less extreme in certain aspects, but they must be very balanced overall, so Chen Zifan still needs to wait for Stardust New Energy to come up with a more powerful mobile phone dedicated to sodium-lithium batteries.
Or add more powerful fast charging.
However, the two complement each other. The quality of the battery itself is very average. Even if it is equipped with a 200W super fast charge, it is of no use and will only shorten the battery life.
The "booth" in front of Chen Zifan also has many products, such as new tablet computers and newly built Bluetooth headsets that look very expensive~
But he didn't take it to look at it. Instead, he walked to a separate small "booth" where there was an engineering machine for Stardust AR glasses. Kitano Menglin said at the side:
"Because the functions are relatively simple, single-sided AR glasses currently have the highest degree of completion, with 65%..."
There's still time, there's a chance to finish.
Chen Zifan also roughly guessed where the main problem with this Stardust AR glasses lies. Not surprisingly, it is the software adaptation problem of iris recognition technology.
There is also the issue of control...
There are four ways to use AR glasses:
1. Control through mobile APP.
2. Control through voice recognition.
3. Control through virtual touch buttons on the mirror body.
4. Control through specific gestures.
These need to be implemented through various complex logic instructions. It is normal for the completion rate to be low in a short period of time. Fortunately, there is no problem with the hardware. Several methods can be optimized through subsequent software updates.
It was enough for Chen Zifan.
"I need to get a result before April next year to determine whether to proceed with mass production."
"Time is enough..."
Even if the single-sided Stardust AR glasses enter the mass production stage and are reasonably priced, judging from the current market situation, they should not be much different from smart watches.
They all belong to the category of “fashion items”.
The sales volume is quite satisfactory and it will not become a hit. It does not need to be mass-produced as long as mobile phones.
Another point…
The current version of Stardust AR glasses comes with a miniature camera. How do you describe this thing...
Will some unscrupulous people with ulterior motives seize the opportunity and falsely accuse the user of taking secret photos?
At that time, we will have to solve it from the application point of view.
I won’t talk about it if it’s really taken, but if it’s not taken… Chen Zifan doesn’t want users who use Stardust AR glasses to be framed when they go out. If a popular incident happens, it will have a great impact on the Stardust AR glasses.
At least it will affect sales, but at worst, the reputation will collapse...
Think about being framed and secretly photographed even if you wear shoes, and you have to take off your shoes to prove yourself. Then think about the braised and cooked food industry that has suffered unreasonable disasters, so you must be cautious.
Chen Zifan briefly walked around the finished product workshop. There were no other PC products here, which was normal, because Stardust-Fluclight had just been released, and Wang Jinli of the project team had just taken over to prepare for reorganization.
After the reorganization is completed and resources are used, subsequent products will be released very quickly. After all, there is an industrial foundation for smartphones, so it will not take too much time.
Before Chen Zifan could think about it, Wang Jinli made a call to his personal number. People who work a lot usually separate their personal number and work number, but when it is said to be a personal number, in fact, every time something happens, All said on this account.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Jinli was connected, he said:
"Director Chen, there is something that I need you to make a decision on. It is not a big deal. The sales volume of Stardust-Fluclight has been very good since its release. However, the marketing department has done two online surveys. More consumers want us to A low-end version of Stardust-Fluctlight can be launched.
I also have a data model here that has been sent to your mailbox. Suppose we launch 128GB and 256GB Stardust-Flulllight. With this model, we can earn more than 200 million yuan in net profit, which is okay. Adding more Stardust users…”
Chen Zifan:......
As soon as I heard the familiar "Director Chen", I knew that the next step would be work. If I went out to eat, soak in hot springs or play other things, it would be "Zi Fan". Chen Zifan is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. I won’t refuse the 200 million that comes to my door!
But this slap in the face came too quickly...
No, are there so many people who need a low profile?
"I understand, just go and do it."
What else can Chen Zifan say?
If you don’t make money, you won’t make it in vain…
He also suddenly realized something: the theory he was stubborn in before may not be accepted by consumers. The only way to truly bring out the full advantages of a product is to lower its entry threshold.
The 6999 Stardust-Fluctor Light cannot be bought.
What about 5999?
5499?
All of a sudden, sales can increase a lot.
However, the prices of 128GB and 256GB are actually not much cheaper. Stardust-Fluctuate still has a single hard drive bay and there is no space for a second hard drive.
If you want to install an upgraded hard drive later, such as 256GB to 512GB, it will definitely cost several hundred dollars more than buying the 512GB version directly.
Chen Zifan will also ask people from the Stardust marketing department to make this clear in advance during promotions. In this way, it can also balance the consumers who have purchased the 512GB version of Stardust-Fluclight and prevent them from feeling like they have been stabbed in the back.
PS: Something happened, we will continue tomorrow...
