Make a phone with photo capabilities?

Everyone was surprised. It was a night out!

Even digital camera technology in Huaxia is far behind. Cell phone technology has just reached the world's forefront. It can't even be talked about at the top. Is this going to be another way to highlight the revolution?

The Palm Zhongbao collection launched last year has had a very good market response, both domestically and abroad, and is very popular. Isn't this year's R&D focus on launching 256 colored LCD phones?

The phones that people used in previous generations were 16 million colors of true-color screen phones with great clarity and bright colors. But at this point, the phone screen is still on monochrome.

Either grey screen, blue screen, green screen, orange screen, mainly these four colors, companies said to have developed purple screen, but the clarity is not as good as gray screen. I don't know if the engineer who paid for this purple screen was fired.

At this time, 256 colors of LCD display technology, Windstorm Electronics and Philips are fully mastered and absolutely sure to move from laboratory to factory mass production.

They all thought that launching a colored LCD display this year would be enough, but it didn't occur to them that Feng Yu asked them to launch a phone with photography, which is a built-in camera.

And at this point, they don't even have digital photography technology, do they use the long red technology? But that photograph, is that clear?

“President Feng, what do you mean, while launching a color-screen phone, give it the ability to take pictures?” Xu Lihua asked in surprise.

“If it weren't for digital cameras, this color screen technology wouldn't have developed so fast. And now that we have launched a color-screen phone, what's the use of color-screens without the ability to take pictures? Do you need a color screen on the phone, or do you need a color screen to read text messages? Or do you like colored snakes or Russian squares?” Feng Yu asked backwards.

The display of the phone shows the development of colour, which is introduced to take photographs of the phone, and then includes colour messages, pictures, videos, etc. Otherwise, the monochromatic screen is sufficient for telephone and text messaging functions alone. Like that classic Nokia 1110, nothing new except a flashlight feature, the ringtones are all twenty chords, turns out to be one of the best selling phones in the history of the world, none!

And this phone, which is really popular for $30 or 40, is affordable for most families.

“But if you add a built-in camera to your phone, you have to redesign your phone's program to have the ability to preview, store, and transfer pictures, right? This will increase the core requirements of the phone and increase the cost. And colored screens, cameras, etc. all increase our costs, so the selling price increases, right? ”

“But the increase in the selling price will affect the sales volume of our products. After all, we cannot compete with the mobile phones produced by companies such as Ericsson, Chaney, Summer Spectrum, Xia Xia, Si Xiang and Si Xing at this time. There are also mobile phones that are so expensive, it is inevitable to consider durability, the shell, etc. needs to be replaced with more durable, shatter-resistant materials. ”

“And with the addition of photography, on the cell phone battery, the requirements are even higher. Photography can be very power-consuming, let alone browsing photos. ”

“President Feng, in that case, the cost of our phones is doubled! What about the sale price? Aren't we going back to the days when mobile phones cost more than 10,000 yuan?” Xu Lihua was very excited. He felt that Feng Yu was taking this step too far.

The idea of having a photo feature on the phone in the future is very good, and he also endorses it. But you can't want everything one step at a time. You should come one step at a time.

“On the battery side, don't worry, Taihua batteries are already capable of producing larger batteries, 800 milliamps, or even 1000 milliamps, and this time the battery will turn into a small square, no longer connected to the back shell of the phone. As for the shell material you say is durable, you can still choose plastic, just need to increase camera and screen protection. ”

“The development of the mobile phone system itself follows this direction, increasing the requirements of the kernel, but not too much. Our costs will go up, but I estimate it's going to go up by $200, or even $100. Remember what I told you, cell phone technology is going to be updated every six months, and we don't get ready first, so we'll always have to stay behind Nokia and Motorola, and when can we go beyond them? ”

How Nokia surpassed Motorola, not with the constant introduction of new products, but with the word "durable". And the future? Nokia put more emphasis on durability, and the result was ruined. It was only then that Nokia realized that technological innovation was the only way to go.

Cell phones have begun to cut prices at this time, and although the magnitude is not so great, more than 4,000 phones are already common. One is the increase in the number of mobile phone manufacturers, the other is the slow maturation of technology, and the cost drops.

“The goal of this phone, which I give you, is to drive a revolution in cell phone development and become a leader in the industry, at a cost of 500 dollars, selling between 600 and 700 dollars. As for what you said about shatter-resistance, don't worry about it at all. How many things do you think cost $6,700? If you fall, don't worry about buying a new one for another $6,700! ”

Huh? Xu Lihua and Jiang Wanfeng looked at each other as if it were true.

It's as expensive as the camera they bought, but without falling, sometimes throwing it on the bed slightly hard, it could all be broken. So everyone who buys expensive cameras will be careful to take care of them, scared to kowtow.

“At a time when the price of mobile phones is generally falling, and even decreasing more and more, we launched this high-end functional phone, which is a high-end route, so expensive is our feature! You have to grab the minds of the rich people, just like they did when they bought Big Brother, and if it doesn't work, they have to buy one, mostly to show off. When your phone can be photographed, can't you just take it out and show it off? ”

Showing off, it's not just Huaxia, there are a lot of people in many countries who have this kind of psychology. Even a lot of people bought fruit phones in their past lives, not because of how useful they are, but because they have a face with this phone!

“Are we still looking at cheaper phones?” Xu Lihua thought about it.

“Just as much to study, let's take two extremes. One is a high-end, expensive, versatile phone, the other is a simple, yet durable and cheapest phone! So in the production of mobile phones, you have to think about how to reduce costs, and in the research and development of mobile phones, you have to think about how to improve the variety of functions. With both of these in front of other companies, we are sure to become the world's leading mobile phone distributor in the future! ”
