Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

After leaving Mr. Pei away, Chang You hurriedly called the key employees of the design department together for a meeting.

The new mobile phone is the top priority for the next OTTO technology research and development. Can we continue the success of the previous OTTOE1 mobile phone? It depends on the design this time, and I am sure not to neglect it.

Soon, everyone arrived.

Chang You looked around, and these key employees were obviously full of energy.

After all, a lot of year-end awards have been issued, and the Spring Festival holiday has been a long time off. Everyone is gearing up to make a career.

"First, let me tell you the good news, we finally have to make a new phone!"

Excited and expectant expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

"But..." Chang You changed the conversation, "President Pei made some requests for the new phone."

Everyone nodded, taking it for granted.

After all, the success of the previous OTTOE1 mobile phone is also inseparable from the guidance of President Pei.When Mr. Pei made the request, everyone felt more at ease.

Chang You said: "President Pei asked us to adopt a full-screen solution with a pop-up camera and use as many new supply chain technologies as possible, and...the location of the pop-up camera is quite special..."

Chang You briefly recounted Mr. Pei's request, especially the location of the pop-up camera.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

The full-screen solution of the pop-up camera is adopted by many mobile phone manufacturers, but the pop-up camera is on the top of all the models that are currently under development.

What does it mean to be on the upper left side of the long side?

Chang You's expression is serious: "So, the primary purpose of meeting with everyone today is to analyze President Pei's intentions and determine the design of the new mobile phone."

"Currently, Mr. Pei is rather vague about the details of this phone, except that the position of the pop-up camera has been repeatedly emphasized several times. I think this should be the focus of Mr. Pei's emphasis."

"Xiaojiang, you are in charge of the shape design, so please talk about your own views first."

Xiao Jiang came with a laptop, and has quickly drawn a sketch in the software.

He frowned slightly and said: "First of all, in terms of shape, compared to those phones with cameras popping up on the top, the shape of the camera popping up from the side is more unique and recognizable."

"When the user holds the mobile phone, the lower part is held. The position of the camera will not be blocked by the hand. Moreover, most people use their right hand when taking selfies. The selfie angle is also very suitable. There will be no nostrils when the camera is placed underneath. Regardless of whether it’s held horizontally or vertically, the photos taken should look better..."

"In addition, in this position, the camera module on the back must be designed in the center, and the back can be more beautiful."

"But these reasons are not very sufficient. Since President Pei specifically emphasized that the pop-up camera is placed in this position, there must be some very important considerations."

Xiao Jiang said a few points from the camera itself, but obviously these reasons are not sufficient.

He looked at Changyou: "Mr. Chang, does Mr. Pei say anything else about the camera?"

Chang You tried hard to think about what Mr. Pei had said before.

Suddenly, he remembered a detail that he had neglected before: "By the way! I hinted to President Pei that it is strange to put it in this position. Should I be symmetrical, that is, put the pop-up camera in the center."

"As a result, President Pei got it wrong. He actually said that you can add a pop-up camera in the upper right or lower left corner to make it look symmetrical! But this plan is too outrageous, so President Pei should be joking."

Xiao Jiang frowned slightly: "Upper right or lower left..."

He did a quick operation on the laptop and added a pop-up camera on the top of the right long side and below the left long side of the phone to see the effect.

"After adding it to the upper right corner, the entire phone becomes a T-shape, and there is nothing special about it."

"If you add it to the lower left corner... Hey, Mr. Chang, do you think these two pop-up cameras look like two shoulder buttons?"

Chang You looked at Xiaojiang's computer screen, and saw that on the prototype of the phone, there were a block-shaped protrusion on the top and bottom of the left side of the long side. When the phone was viewed across, it would be two shoulder buttons.

The shoulder button design is a standard design on the handle of the host.

According to the standard use method of the handle, the shoulder button and trigger button are clicked by the index fingers of both hands. In racing games, they are generally accelerator and brake, but in shooting games, they are generally aiming and shooting, which are very key buttons.

Chang You suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that Pei always hinted that we made two trigger buttons to develop a game phone specifically for mobile games?"

"Are you talking about combining the pop-up camera and the trigger button?"

"No, President Pei said this in a ridiculous tone, and he didn't specifically emphasize that two pop-up cameras must be made."

"Besides, it doesn't make sense to have two pop-up cameras anyway."

Xiao Jiang said: "Chang, this is obviously a hint from President Pei!"

"The mechanical structure takes up too much space. One front camera is enough. It definitely doesn't make sense to do two. But the reason why Mr. Pei mentioned this sentence obviously still hopes to make this kind of'symmetrical design'!"

"Mr. Chang, do you think this design will work: the pop-up camera is still on the upper side of the long side, and we made it into the right trigger. At the lower position on the long side, we make a separate left trigger."

"Only in a few situations such as selfies and video conversations, this pop-up camera will pop up. In other scenes, it will retract and only protrude a little bit as a trigger button that can be clicked."

"The left trigger button is not used as a pop-up camera. It has the same feel as the right trigger button. It is wider than other physical buttons. It protrudes from the body and can be clicked. The rebound is powerful and the keystroke is longer. Give players as much as possible. The best gaming experience."

Chang You nodded suddenly: "In other words, this phone is a gaming phone with two physical trigger buttons?"

Xiao Jiang nodded: "Yes, and if you think about it this way, many points will be stringed together!"

"Our mobile phones need to use flagship chips, stacks of materials to the extreme, and battery capacity is much larger than that of ordinary mobile phones. Such a good performance is definitely a serious waste of just using it to browse the web and chat, and it must be used to play games."

The others in the meeting room were inspired and started to speak freely.

"Yes! A key problem with pop-up cameras is that the pixels of the front camera are not particularly high, and male users who like to play games will not particularly care about this. This shows that the pop-up camera solution is more suitable for gaming phones."

"Yes, since the full screen technology is adopted, the screen of the mobile phone will definitely change from the traditional 16:9 to 19:9 or 19.5:9, that is, the entire screen becomes wider. For playing mobile games with horizontal screens In general, the field of vision will be broader, which is also an advantage for traditional mobile phones."

"I think there is still a very important point, what is Tenda's core business? It is games!"

"At that time, link up with Tenda games or Wangyang games to produce a racing or shooting mobile game, such as the mobile game version of "Lonely Desert Road" or the mobile game version of "Sea Fortress", and then make it exclusive for mobile phones. Optimization... Doesn't this highlight our advantage?"

Chang You nodded frequently.

Right, all right!

No wonder Pei always put the pop-up camera in this position, it turned out to be a reminder to make two shoulder buttons!

The pop-up camera already has a mechanical structure. Using this mechanical structure to make a physical shoulder button specifically for playing games can be considered as a best use, and it is more cost-effective than other pop-up cameras.

As for the left shoulder button below, although it also needs to be made of a mechanical structure, it does not need to be made as large as a pop-up camera, so it does not take up much internal space, which is completely acceptable.

Coupled with other details including the full screen and flagship chips, the player's gaming experience will definitely be significantly improved.

Chang You was very happy: "Yes! President Pei must think so!"

"Then we will follow this idea and refine the details!"

With a clear direction, everyone is not as confused as at the beginning. You start to discuss the remaining details of this phone.

"Since I have decided to make a gaming phone, the shape should be made cooler? I think it can be made into a mecha-style back shell with LED lights. After all, the E1 phone also has LED lights, which is a continuation of the tradition. ."

"The battery capacity must still be large, and the recent fast charging technology seems to have also been upgraded and can be used."

"Although the new under-screen fingerprint technology is not particularly easy to use, let's add it to add some sense of technology."

"Playing games, you must have dual speakers."

"The charging port and headphone jack are moved to the center of the right side of the phone, so that you will not block your hands when playing games on the horizontal screen.

"The power button and volume button are also all placed on the right side of the phone to make room for the two shoulder buttons."

"Since players are accustomed to the weight of our mobile phones, and we also have to have large batteries, then we don't need to make a protruding rear camera. In this way, the appearance of the entire phone can be further improved."

Everyone was talking about it, and soon, the general design of this phone was available.

Although there are still many details that need to be carefully considered, the general direction of this phone is very clear.

While listening, Xiao Jiang quickly recorded the main points of the discussion.

Chang You was very happy: "Okay, then we will finalize this plan! Everyone will start preparing immediately!"

"Think about it now, President Pei still has the foresight and sees farther than I do."

"Before, I wanted to make this phone based on the successful experience of E1, but now it seems that it is obviously too conservative."

"I have a hunch that the new mobile phone made according to President Pei's plan will definitely be a big success!"
