Chapter 188 Requirements
Life is so busy, Duke keeps the progress of his research work, but does not produce any influential results. He just lies in dormant for a while.
When changing your mind to mobile phone design, Bob's team has launched a second prototype version. Judging from the shape and material use, it is not much different from Samsung's high-end and Apple, but there is nothing special. It is too difficult to make a breakthrough in the appearance design of the mobile phone industry now.
Duke invented a display that can be bent, but it is only the prototype stage. Although Bob knows the existence of this new display, there is no plan for mass production at this stage, and everything is still under development. According to the information obtained by Bob, it is estimated that the second mobile phone can be used.
The first mobile phone still needs to be based on the existing hardware.
"Bob, what kind of selling points are you going to launch in the new phone?" At Duke American Lab, Duke asked after listening to Bob's brief report and looking at the new prototype.
"I think it's still mainly for entertainment. The new phone will have the current top-notch sound and image output, and its performance in games and audio-visual will not be inferior to any of today's models." Bob said confidently.
"Okay, entertainment is a very important feature. I think this direction should not be wrong. But I see the battery life you designed. If you play for a lot of time, you can't support it in one day. If you watch a movie, you can't watch one movie more, and you can't finish it." Duke questioned, "Do you think such a battery life phone is enough for entertainment?"
"But, the iPhone phone cannot reach this level. Thanks to our powerful Cào operating system, we can save some energy consumption in CPU and GPU. Compared with similar mobile phones, we have increased the battery life by about 20%. Therefore, we have a very advantage in battery life." Bob defended.
"We are not bad with anyone. Bob," Duke said, "We have to think about the problem from the perspective of users. I think a mobile phone that cannot support users to complete 24-hour continuous use is unqualified. This is the bottom line I give you."
"Absolutely impossible! Boss, this is simply crazy, 24-hour battery life?! Hell, I'm afraid only God can do it." Bob exclaimed. Nowadays, mainstream mobile phones can support up to 4-6 hours of video watching at most. Of course, some mobile phones are equipped with super large batteries and can also support about 12 hours.
But that requires a lot of weight and sacrificing the thickness of the phone.
24 hours, that is to increase the factory's battery life by 4-6 times, which is really crazy.
"You will find a way, Bob, in this field, you should be the omnipotent God." Duke said. "I remember that the battery life of the phone in the past was much longer than that of the phone today, think of more ways.
In addition to battery life, I also need a unique phone, such as adding an expansion interface to the projector, so that this phone can take over the laptop in some cases."
"Boss, in the past, the phone basically had the function of making a phone call, but now, this phone can basically complete all the problems that a computer can complete." Bob said with a bitter face, "Look, you just added a function that only a laptop should have. Compared with the previous phone, this is not the same concept."
However, Duke ignored this complaint directly. The phone ran out of power while using it. I didn’t encounter this twice again. The battery life of the iPhone, which was sponsored by Cai Siqiang, is really not strong.
Now that I have the opportunity to invest in developing a new mobile phone, it’s fine. It’s fine if I can be similar to other xìngs. The battery life must be high. In terms of function, the CPU is so powerful now that Duke doesn’t think it’s a big problem to expand into the office field. It just provides an interface for projectors, printers and other devices.
After watching the second prototype, Duke still has not made any major progress. If this phone is sold for more than 2,000 yuan, combined with the now improved new system and full-featured voice control, there will be no big problem, because it is much better than the best-selling model of Jinde last year.
Even if the brand is less well-known, it is still very promising to cooperate with the current hype that Cai Siqiang is currently conducting, and then it will focus on the domestic market. It is believed that sales exceed the 20 million units that Gemland once reached.
But in this way, this Duke model with high expectations is limited to the mid-range price range of more than 2,000 yuan. In terms of marketing, it is a step-by-step guide to the low-end field from the high-end to the low-end field, but otherwise, it is not the case. Just like Feitian Moutai, more than 1,000 yuan per bottle, now if Moutai releases another Benyue Moutai with similar packaging and quality, sells three to four hundred yuan, it will ensure that the latter will be very popular and may even snatch the former market away.
However, in this way, the high-end image that Moutai has finally accumulated over the years will soon disappear.
Therefore, this positioning cannot be wrong. Once it is wrong, it will be difficult to correct it, because SAL is not like Samsung, which can form a high, medium, low and complete seafood product line. Now the accumulation of SAL is not enough to support this. At the current stage, the best object of SAL mobile phones to imitate Apple, which is moving up the route of Jing's single product to conquer the world.
According to the standard of Apple's iPhone series, the model Bob designed now is obviously not enough. Duke hopes that the new phone can be at least quite competitive at least about 1,000 yuan lower than the iPhone series, which means that both xìng power and selling points must surpass similar products of iPhone. Perhaps expanding towards office will also open up a new selling point.
After hearing Duke's request, Bob finally realized that surpassing Apple is no longer a dream, nor is it just a slogan, but a task that is really pressing on his shoulders. It turned out that the fantasy in his mind was wiped out and he suddenly felt like a mountain of pressure. Fortunately, the boss has not made any restrictions on the budget at all, which gives Bob enough space to try various ideas.
In this era of dreams and reality, although Bob is under great pressure, he is extremely excited. In recent years, almost any mobile phone designer with ideas and ability will involuntarily treat Apple iPhone as an illusion opponent, but Bob is sure that no software environment has a better software environment than he is now.
With unique voice recognition and intelligent control, a new and efficient gorgeous 3dcào operating system, and a hardware design without budget restrictions, it can be said that Bob has a better software operating environment than Apple iPhone designers today.
