Once the R&D lab had cut and delivered over a dozen screens, Xing Baohua began connecting them to the motherboard for testing. He set the camera aside for now, transferring images from his computer to view on the screens.

The main thing to look at is the display effect. It's just average, very average, but the fact that it can display images on such a small screen means it's already quite successful.

Aside from those special agent devices, rice is the only civilian-grade product that truly stands out.

The standard version uses the same mobile phone chip as the previous generation, but the high-end version has been completely upgraded to Loongson 1, starting with the CPU. This is a laptop-level chip with powerful performance.

However, it only has 2MB of RAM, which is enough to store not only the operating system but also some space for programs and photos. The diamond version uses a micro hard drive.

Only one hundred units will be issued, a limited edition. Any more than that, and Xing Baohua feels he can't afford the repair costs!

With this configuration, it's comparable to laptops and some low-end computers.

He boasted and bragged, since boasting is tax-free, so he could brag as much as he wanted, claiming that a mobile phone could be used as a computer and had all the functions of a computer.

Previously, Xiaomi phones all used a full keyboard, but Xing Baohua changed it to a nine-key layout. This returns to the original form of a mobile phone, emphasizing numeric keys.

It's not that Xing Baohua doesn't want to continue using the full keyboard, but rather that he can't use it temporarily. Making boastful claims and then having them exposed is no laughing matter.

Those who know how to use it will test it on a phone and a laptop.

Can it be on the same level? Don't be fooled by the fact that the CPU is also Loongson-level; it's still not up to par in reality. Think of how much power a laptop has! Even so, it's still a stripped-down version. But if you port it to a mobile phone, you'll have to strip it down even more, otherwise the phone battery won't be able to handle it, and it'll run out of power in just ten minutes.

You can't use it while it's charging, right? What if the battery explodes? Who's responsible then?

Rice has to bear the brunt of everything. Basically, you can't do any testing or comparisons. Using the numeric keypad for programming isn't impossible, as long as your fingers don't get tired and your eyes don't strain. Nokia's touch typing back in the day created a whole generation of talent. You didn't even need to look at the screen to send text messages.

High-end phones are sold to wealthy people to show off, not for tinkering with. Most wealthy people don't know how to use them. For them, phones are just for making calls and are essentially decorative items.

Do those rich people who buy supercars really need to know how to modify them? They're good enough for everyday driving to attract attention and pick up girls.

Once the plan and appearance are finalized, the work begins.

If the systems team hadn't asked which system he wanted to use, Xing Baohua wouldn't have remembered that he hadn't seen Xiao Tian in a long time. What, was he on vacation with his wife and forgot to come to work?

The high-end version uses the Mount Everest system, which is also an attempt, but with this system, plus Loongson chips, the power system needs to be modified.

With a battery of only a few hundred mAh, it can only last for three or four hours on standby. Not to mention when using programs, it consumes even more power. It would take a good battery to last an hour.

The plan is to double the battery capacity, so that it can last for a whole day on standby, and the theoretical value for continuous use is about two hours.

Okay! Despite its seemingly luxurious features, it ultimately turns out to be a junk product because the battery can't keep up.

With slightly higher power, the phone gets noticeably hot.

The core of Loongson is the ARM architecture, which was designed for mobile chips from the very beginning. Even in Xing Baohua's previous life, all core platforms used the ARM architecture.

Low power consumption, high performance.

Mobile phones can't have built-in heat sinks. Aside from physical external cooling, if a phone gets hot, there's definitely a design flaw. It's failing to reduce power consumption, which is a problem with the power management chip.

It's not just the power chip; there's also a problem with the software. Both are indispensable. When the Mi laptop used a Loongson processor, it also experienced overheating and overheating. Even though the laptop had a cooling system, it still overheated and overheated.

While laptops solved some of the problems, the challenges are even greater with mobile phones.

Heat means power consumption. Since there is only a small amount of current to begin with, the power is lost even more when it gets hot.

Fortunately, there was a project to tackle the laptop problem, and there were references to follow. Xing Baohua let the R&D team work on it first, and then he called Xiao Tian when he went out.

After the call connects, you'll hear a "hello!"

Xing Baohua said, "Did you forget which way the company gate faces? Where are you?"

Xiao Tian said with a grin, "How could I forget? I'm here with my wife during her pregnancy, aren't I? We even bought a house by the river in Shanghai. Oh, by the way, I have a question for you! Geng Rui and I wanted to go on vacation to Singapore a while ago. We even bought the plane tickets, but they said there was a problem with our passports and wouldn't let us go."

"Then let's ask the immigration office to see if there's a problem," Xing Baohua said casually, while secretly chuckling to himself.

"I'm just wondering, it's fine when we go out with you, but it's not okay when we go out alone. Did you have someone set up restrictions on us?"

"Yes, I did it. I was afraid you would be kidnapped if you went out alone, so this was a way to protect you."

"It can't be that exaggerated, can it?" Xiao Tian asked in surprise.

“Exaggeration, not at all. Putting aside what we’ve done, if you actually run into the FBI, do you think you’ll be in good shape? Besides, you’re the director of the Rice Software Department now, a high-end talent, the kind we can’t afford to lose. You’re fine in China, but if you go out alone, you need to report it,” Xing Baohua said.

"Okay, I got it. Nothing else, I'm hanging up now!"

“Something’s up! I’m planning to…” So Xing Baohua explained the configuration of the high-end luxury phone with a camera to this person. The problem they were facing was that it was overheating after being installed with the Mount Everest system.
