Instead, they used domestically produced storage units from a certain digital institute. Each 64B unit costs only about 30 yuan in Chinese currency, and Xing Baohua used four of them.
It forms a cache program. Due to its small storage capacity, it cannot store phone numbers like other rice communication products. However, it can still save the contact information of 10 frequently used contacts using English letters.
All CPUs are domestically produced 4004 first-generation 8-digit CPUs.
Although this chip is over a decade old, it's more than enough for this cheap, outdated phone.
However, baseband chips and radio frequency chips are much more expensive than core chips.
This thing is irreplaceable; only the latest digital chips can be used, which is also the most expensive part.
Another issue is the battery. Previous Mi series phones had more functions, so they consumed more power. The batteries used were around 500-600 mAh.
There aren't that many functions now. The only power-consuming parts are the radio frequency signal and the screen light, so the battery capacity is around 300 mAh.
As for using the loudspeaker and radio in the mobile phone, that was not within Xing Baohua's consideration.
The solution is to provide consumers with more batteries, or to allow them to charge their devices whenever they want.
Otherwise, we'll have to wait for the next generation or the next generation of products. This thing can't be as reliable as Nokia, with top-notch quality; consumers will have to replace their phones after a year or two.
This involves the principle of hardware aging.
It's not that the hardware quality is bad, but rather that it's too good, requiring a user to set a usage period.
In an era where quality is paramount, Xing Baohua took a path that went against the grain.
Therefore, a specific procedure was used to manage the lifecycle of the components, which led to various malfunctions occurring after a certain period.
It will absolutely not be as advertised, such as the button press reaching tens of thousands of times or the lifespan being very long.
Anyone who has ever used a knock-off phone will have experienced the buttons malfunctioning after a period of use, or the phone losing signal, or a solder joint coming loose.
Even those cheap smartphones can become so laggy that you'll question your existence. You've deleted all the apps, photos, and videos, and after restoring everything, why is it still lagging?
Actually, this involves a cycle factor. If the cache is faulty, find a technician who knows how to repair and solder to replace the cache, and it will be as smooth as when you first bought it.
Cheap products are basically all set up with this program: even if you format them or wipe them clean, they will still lag.
It's like there's no solution. The only solution offered by major manufacturers is to increase the amount of RAM, with 12GB and 16GB options available. Meanwhile, low-end laptops are still coming out with 4GB or 8GB of RAM as standard. Even smartphones are more powerful than those computers.
This is actually an illusion of performance; no matter how powerful a mobile phone is, it can't match the performance of a low-end computer.
Xing Baohua roughly calculated that the cost of the hardware components alone was over 700 yuan. Adding the display screen, battery, power protection chip, and plastic casing, a thousand-yuan phone was thus cobbled together.
Rice Note1 for white-collar elites.
The outer casing is interchangeable, and the price range is 2999-3599.
This is an era where everyone wants to have their own food. Xing Baohua doesn't believe that Sony or Nokia would dare to offer a price lower than this. If they do, Xing Baohua wouldn't mind a price reduction of 500 yuan.
Of course, Xing Baohua's move was most damaging to the motorcycles, since their phones, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, could only make calls for half an hour.
Okay, cannon fodder motorcycle, but who told you to be the boss?
The product launch for this year is almost here, so let's hurry up and get a few products out while we still have a few months left.
Xing Baohua is busy. In order to seize the market, he has to work hard to expand the product catalog.
While Xing Baohua was busy, a domestic director made a film last year that was somewhat related to World War II, which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, the only Asian film to win the award.
Newspapers, both big and small, kept advertising it, and cinemas also arranged screenings, causing tickets that originally cost a little over four cents to rise to five cents.
Even so, quite a few people are still queuing up to watch.
That day, Wei Laisong accompanied someone to find Xing Baohua.
It's unclear whether this person found Wei Laisong or Wei Laisong went to him.
Few people in Colombia knew about the acquisition except for Wei Laisong.
Wei Laisong was accompanied by a man of similar age, dressed in a suit and tie.
Wearing a pair of polarized glasses in a very fashionable way?
Aren't aviator sunglasses all the rage? Why does everyone like polarized lenses now?
When Xing Baohua was asked to leave the lab, he was quite unhappy and said in his office, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, I still have a lot of projects to test over there."
"Let me introduce you to my classmate, Shao Donglin. He used to work as an officer at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, but now he works at a state-owned film distribution and screening company, where he is in charge of film production review."
After Wei Laisong's brief introduction, Xing Baohua understood who the other party was and immediately asked what the matter was.
“What could it be? I just want to collaborate with you,” Wei Laisong said.
"Tell me how we can cooperate?" Xing Baohua asked Shao Donglin.
"I heard from Lao Wei that Columbia Pictures is now yours?"
Xing Baohua nodded, said nothing, and continued to look at the other person.
"You're really awesome."
"Let's skip the flattery and get straight to the point. I'm really busy," Xing Baohua said, waving his hand at the other party.
"The films produced by Columbia Pictures are not bad. I have connections with all four dubbing studios in China. As long as a film can be approved by me, it can be handed over to me for processing," Shao Donglin said.
"Okay, I'll give you the phone number of the person in charge at Columbia Pictures. You can contact them. Also, I'm just a major shareholder of Columbia Pictures. I can say a few things, but I can't interfere with their normal operations."
