Chapter 2192 Additional Features
"You..." Duan Yun picked up the phone and smiled at Ren Zhengfei, and then said: "The appearance is not bad, it's just this golden one, it looks like a gold brick."

"This mobile phone is specially customized for Mr. Duan." Ren Zhengfei continued with a smile on his face, "When I was developing this mobile phone, I was very excited from the bottom of my heart. Developing such a mobile phone, because it seems that the technical threshold is too high, but Mr. Duan’s trust has given me confidence, and over the years, our Huawei can develop so well, and it is inseparable from Mr. Duan’s support, so I I have always wanted to give Mr. Duan a precious gift to express my gratitude, but this time we made our first domestic mobile phone, so I asked someone to customize the appearance, and I hope Mr. Duan will like this gift."

"I like it very much." Duan Yun took the phone and said with a smile.

In fact, judging from the appearance of this mobile phone, compared with the smart phones of later generations, it looks very primitive. The black and white LCD screen is only the size of a piece of chewing gum, and can only display time and date. As for the buttons of the mobile phone, they are also a little blunt, but there is no doubt that this mobile phone can be regarded as a milestone product in China's electronics industry.

"Currently, this mobile phone is able to make calls through the Internet. First, the area code of 0755 is broadcast. The local number is nine six. I have a good relationship with the leaders of the telecommunications department, and they gave me a good number..." Ren Zhengfei said.

"Thank you so much." Duan Yun smiled slightly, played with the mobile phone, and said suddenly after a while: "By the way, can you give me a few more prototypes? I want to equip my family with a few more. tower?"

"This is no problem. We made more than 30 prototypes this time. I kept a few for myself. You want to take all the rest." Ren Zhengfei replied simply.

"Could they all have this kind of golden shell?" Duan Yun asked.

"Of course not. That's the only one with a gold-plated casing." Ren Zhengfei smiled, and then said: "The other few have hard plastic casings, so don't dislike them. In fact, this thing is for testing. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."

"Understood." Duan Yun nodded, and said: "Then I won't be polite to you, just give me another ten units, I just want to make it easier to contact my assistant and family in the future, so as long as this thing works. "

"That's easy to say, I will arrange someone to deliver it to your office later." Ren Zhengfei said.

"Mr. Ren, let me tell you that this is a very important mobile phone project jointly developed by us. The future profits brought by this project will definitely exceed the CNC switches you are selling now. This is for sure, so you must invest more. Manpower and R&D resources, try to make the product better and lower the price.” Duan Yun paused, and then said: “In addition, we can’t always imitate foreign products and technologies, but also have our own unique skills. And the core technology, let’s take this display screen for example, we can make it bigger, let it have the caller ID function, and it can also play games..."

"Playing games?" Hearing what Duan Yun said, Ren Zhengfei was dumbfounded in surprise.

Although Ren Zhengfei is a very good entrepreneur, he has no talent, lack of imagination and conservative thinking in terms of product design.

In his opinion, a mobile phone is a tool for making calls. As long as it can make calls and the sound quality is not bad, then the product is considered a success. He never thought that the mobile phone can have other functions.

In fact, as far as the current Motorola mobile phone is concerned, the design is also very conservative. It is also a black and white LCD screen the size of chewing gum. The only special function is that it can display the caller. Apart from this, there is no other entertainment. Attributes.

In this memory of Yun, the first mobile phone he used was bought by his parents when he was in college. At that time, the waveguide mobile phone used a color LCD screen the size of a matchbox. In addition to displaying time, date and In addition to the function of caller ID, you can also play some small games, such as Snake, Tetris, and playing airplanes. In addition, that mobile phone can also take pictures. The mobile phone must be much richer than the current mobile phone, and it also brought a lot of fun to Duan Yun at that time, so that Duan Yun would take this mobile phone with him as a treasure wherever he went.

But with the current technology, it is very difficult, even impossible, to make such a mobile phone. There are many technical thresholds to break through, first of all, the micro color LCD screen, and secondly, the internal storage and computing The chip also needs to be redesigned, and there are so many functions to run, power and battery life issues, and finally the size miniaturization and cost issues, all of which need to solve very high technical difficulties.

In addition, in this era, it is unimaginable to shoot with a mobile phone. You must know that it is still the era of film cameras. In addition to buying a camera, you also need to buy a film that is not cheap, even if it is the cheapest Lucky film. Juaner also costs more than 20 yuan, which is almost equivalent to a week's wages of ordinary workers.

Although digital cameras have appeared in the 70s, the pixels and picture quality can be described as horrible, and there is no carrier suitable for storage. Although some progress has been made in recent years, but if you want to make the camera function in the mobile phone, in the It sounds like a fantasy to most people.

If Duan Yun didn't have foresight, he wouldn't dare to think about this kind of thing at all. Even if the technology is not up to the mark temporarily, he can still make arrangements and preparations in advance.

"We can make this black and white LCD screen bigger, and then find a way to integrate game chips into it, such as games like Tetris, which are also available on the market." Duan Yun said.

In Duan Yun's view, the most promising additional function on mobile phones is the game function, because as early as the early 90s, game consoles with black and white LCD screens appeared on the domestic market, but in At that time, this kind of game console belonged exclusively to the children of rich families, and the children of ordinary families only drool.

However, it is not an easy task to integrate the chips and circuits of the game console into the mobile phone. The type of electronic components has always been a very high technical threshold, and it is also necessary to consider increasing battery life and not affecting the sound quality of calls. Otherwise, it is a failure of giving up the big and seeking the small.
