Chapter 1039: 2 Pole Development

Making mobile phones with cameras?

Everyone was taken aback, this is simply a fantasy!

Huaxia is far behind even in digital camera technology, and mobile phone technology has just reached the forefront of the world. It is not even top-notch. Is this preparing to find another way to stand out from the encirclement?

The Palm Treasure series launched last year received a very good response from the market, both at home and abroad. Isn't the focus of this year's research and development a mobile phone with a 256-color color LCD display?

The mobile phones used by people in the previous life were all 16 million-color true-color screen mobile phones, with extremely high definition and vivid colors. But the mobile phone screen at this time is still in monochrome.

Either a gray screen, or a blue screen, green screen, or orange screen, mainly these four colors. It is said that some foreign companies have developed a purple screen, but the clarity is not as good as the gray screen. I just don't know if the engineer who spent money to study this purple screen was fired.

At this time, both Fengfeng Electronics and Philips have fully mastered the 256-color LCD technology, and they are absolutely sure to move from the laboratory to the factory for mass production.

They all thought that the launch of a mobile phone with a color LCD screen this year would be enough, but unexpectedly, Feng Yu asked them to launch a mobile phone with a camera function, that is, a built-in camera.

At this time, they don't even have digital photography technology, so they just use Changhong's technology? But is the photo taken clear?

"Mr. Feng, what do you mean, while launching a mobile phone with a color screen, let it have a camera function?" Xu Lihua asked in surprise.

"If it weren't for digital cameras, this kind of color screen technology wouldn't develop so fast. And since we launched a color screen mobile phone, it doesn't have a camera function, so what's the use of a color screen? Do you need a color screen for making calls or reading text messages? Or do you like to play colorful Snake or Tetris?" Feng Yu asked rhetorically.

The development of display colors on mobile phone screens was launched for the purpose of taking pictures of mobile phones, and then MMS, pictures, videos, etc. will be gradually developed. Otherwise, the monochrome screen is enough for phone calls and SMS functions. Just like the classic Nokia 1110, except for a flashlight function, there are no new functions, and the ringtones are all twenty chords. It turned out to be the best-selling mobile phone in the history of the world, bar none!

It is also this mobile phone that has really popularized mobile phones. It is priced at thirty to forty dollars, and most families can afford it.

"However, if a built-in camera is added to the mobile phone, then the program of the mobile phone will have to be redesigned, should there be functions of image preview, storage, and transmission? This will increase the core requirements of the mobile phone.

Costs will rise. There are also color display screens, cameras, etc., which will increase our cost, so the price will increase, right? "

"However, if the selling price increases, it will affect the sales of our products. After all, we can't compare with Motorola and Nokia at this time. Star and other companies compete with mobile phones. With such an expensive mobile phone, durability must be considered, and the casing must be replaced with more durable and drop-resistant materials."

"And after adding the camera function, the requirements on the battery of the mobile phone are even higher. Taking pictures consumes a lot of power, not to mention browsing photos."

"President Feng, in this way, the cost of our mobile phone will double! What about the price? Doesn't it mean that the mobile phone will return to the era of more than 10,000 yuan?" Xu Lihua was very excited. The ones are too big.

The mobile phone will be equipped with a camera function in the future. This idea is very good, and he also agrees. But you can’t want to achieve everything in one step, you should do it step by step.

"You don't have to worry about the battery. Taihua Battery has been able to produce a mobile phone battery with a larger capacity, 800 mAh, or even 1000 mAh. And this time the mobile phone battery will become a small square, no longer connected to the back of the mobile phone. Connected together. As for the durability of the shell material you mentioned, you can still choose plastic, just add protection to the camera and screen.”

"The system development of the mobile phone itself is going in this direction. It will increase the requirements for the kernel, but it will not increase too much. Our cost will increase, but I estimate that the increase will be as high as two hundred dollars, or even one hundred dollars. It’s about the same. Don’t forget what I told you, the technology of mobile phones will be updated every six months. If we don’t make preparations at this time, we will always be behind Nokia and Motorola. When will we surpass them?"

How Nokia surpassed Motorola is not because of the continuous introduction of new products and the word durability. And what about the future? Nokia paid more attention to durability, and the result was finished. At this time, Nokia realized that technological innovation is king.

At this time, the price of mobile phones has begun to drop. Although the range is not very large, more than 4,000 mobile phones are already very common. One is that the number of mobile phone manufacturers has increased, and the other is that everyone's technology has gradually matured and the cost has come down.

"This mobile phone, the goal I give you is that the manufacturing cost is 500 US dollars, and the price is between 600 US dollars and 700 US dollars. We want to promote the revolution in the development of mobile phones and become the industry leader. As for the resistance you said Don’t worry about falling or anything, how many do you think are willing to drop something worth six or seven hundred dollars? If you are willing to drop it, then you don’t care about spending another six or seven hundred dollars to buy a new one!”

Huh? Xu Lihua and Jiang Wanmeng looked at each other, it seemed to be the reason.

Just like the camera they bought, it is expensive, but it will not be dropped, and sometimes it may be broken if it is thrown on the bed with a little force. Therefore, everyone who buys an expensive camera will take care of it carefully, for fear of bumping it.

"When the price of mobile phones is generally reduced, and even the price reduction is getting bigger and bigger, we launched this high-end feature phone, which is a high-end line, so expensive is our characteristic! You have to grasp the psychology of those rich people, Just like when they bought a big mobile phone, even if they don’t use it very much, they still buy one, most of them are for showing off. When your mobile phone can take pictures, can’t you show it off to others?”

Showing off is not just in China, many people in many countries have this mentality. Even many people who bought fruit phones in previous lives were not because of how easy to use this phone was, but because they thought it was a face to use this phone!

"Then should we still research on cheaper mobile phones?" Xu Lihua asked after thinking for a while.

"The same thing needs to be studied. We go to two extremes. One is high-end, that is, selling expensive mobile phones with many functions, and the other is selling simple, durable, and cheapest mobile phones! So you are in the production of mobile phones. , we must think about how to reduce costs, and how to improve the types of functions in the research and development of mobile phones. If these two things can go ahead of other companies, then we will become the world's number one mobile phone manufacturer and marketer in the future!" ( )
