Chapter 1378 Borrowing
Why will non-removable batteries be the mainstream in the future?
It's very simple, just like Pandora's box, once you open it, you can't close it.

The non-removable battery can make the internal design of the mobile phone more compact and make better use of every gap, which indeed has incomparable advantages.This is still secondary, and the most important thing is that merchants will definitely do it-that is, non-removable batteries are profitable.As for businessmen, they are all profit-seeking, and all businessmen will be assimilated with the belief that if you have money, you don't make a bastard.

Otherwise, you are the only one with a removable battery design, which may not keep up with the trend.

After all, the profit of non-removable batteries is indeed huge. First of all, you can't buy non-original batteries, because ordinary people can't easily install them.As far as the maintenance is concerned, it is a big profit, and the replacement of the original battery can also make money.Let's put it this way, Apple made so much money in the previous life, but Apple's authorized repair shops make more money, that's the reason.

Secondly, it is the concept of standby machine.No matter how powerful the performance of a mobile phone is, if the non-removable battery is exhausted, it cannot continue to be used by replacing the battery, so there is the concept of the so-called "backup phone".This makes it easier for a group of spare phone manufacturers to sell other mobile phones.The backup phone market is a market created by those mobile phones with non-removable batteries.How big is this market?Let's put it this way, after a year or two, some main phones have not reached the state of being completely unusable, and consumers want to change their phones.

Finally, of course, it is to promote consumers to change mobile phones frequently.After all, the battery life of a mobile phone is about three years, but if it is not used healthily, the battery is estimated to be consumed in a year or two.The battery is not durable, and a new mobile phone is released at this time, which naturally prompts consumers to think about changing to a new mobile phone.

Fang Jiming lamented that this set of plans is full, one after another, and any manufacturer who does not join will leave behind in terms of design and parts supply.Of course, Shenzhou can't be the first person to eat crabs, or he will be scolded to death.Doing the second or third will not bear too much firepower.

Playing with the engineering machine in his hand, Fang Jiming was filled with emotion.

Don't look at this small mobile phone, but the cost has already exceeded 20.

This is only the price of the hardware, not including the research and development costs of the software.

Why is it so expensive?

Very simple, the screen is customized, the battery is customized, the front camera is customized, and many parts are customized.

If mass production cannot be achieved, no ordinary person can afford such a mobile phone.

In order to achieve mass production, it is necessary to solve the problem of the parts supply chain.The mobile phone industry is a typical example of overall development, and no manufacturer can bypass the constraints of components.

It seems that the concept of the front camera is not the first.

In 1999, just a few years after the birth of the small mobile phone, the Kyocera VP-210 appeared.This mobile phone was released in May 1999. It has a 5-pixel front camera and can store up to 11 digital images in JPEG format. These photos can be sent by email. It can be said that it is the earliest photo on a mobile phone. share.But at this time, the mobile phone camera is not used for selfies, but for video conferencing.

In November 2000, Sharp released a mobile phone J-SH11, which also had a built-in 04-pixel camera on the back of the phone.In order to facilitate selfies, a selfie mirror is placed next to the camera, which can help people see the shooting effect.This later became the standard selfie framing solution on the functional machine, which has been used for many years.

In the following period of time, many manufacturers began to produce camera phones, and the forms continued to enrich.Some manufacturers have launched mobile phones that can flip the screen and flip the camera, making it easier to "take selfies".

Fang Jiming remembers clearly that in the era of smart phones, that is, in 2007, Apple released the first generation of iPhone, which did not have a front-facing camera.Not only Apple, but previous generations of smartphones such as Dopod and Lost Star did not have front-facing cameras.Until the release of the iPhone 2010 in 4, Jobs introduced the FaceTime video call function at the end of the conference.This is the first time that Apple has introduced a front-facing camera on the iPhone. Although it has only 30 pixels, it has allowed other manufacturers to see the broad application prospects of the front-facing camera.Coupled with Mr. Joe's speech skills and the popularity of the iPhone 4 itself, smartphones at that time began to pay attention to the front camera of the mobile phone.

In other words, the front-facing camera is still too expensive, which not only increases the burden on the running memory, which is not rich in itself, but also increases the power consumption of the battery.

"It seems that half a step ahead is discerning, one step ahead is a genius, and three or four steps ahead is a madman."

Fang Jiming sighed, this customized camera is still a bit too expensive, if you count the cost, it is not worth it at all.

High-end mobile phones are not so hard.

"It seems that we still have to solve the supply chain problem first."

Fang knew clearly that in terms of the supply chain, Shenzhou did not have any advantages, but was still at a disadvantage.

It's very simple, China's shipments are not large, so there are not many parts ordered, and naturally there is no bargaining power.

But with the fame of Shenzhou mobile phones, the sales have gradually increased.

Even though low-end phones are much more expensive than thousand-yuan phones, there are still consumers who trust Shenzhou mobile phones. This is the power of the brand.

However, sales cannot be achieved overnight, and so is the supply chain.This requires long-term follow-up before the cost can be kept down.

"Then, the new mobile phone released next year should have a prototype."

Fang Jiming thought about it seriously, and felt that the capacitive screen was the biggest gimmick, and it must be used.

The front camera needs to be canceled, not only to control the cost, but also for the sake of running memory and system usage ratio. WiFi wireless networking is a must, and the fluency must continue to be improved.Fang Jiming tried to run three software in the background at the same time, unless it is a small software, otherwise it will be very laggy.

"It seems that this system must be a little 'unintelligent'. If there are more than two software running the day after tomorrow, one of them will be automatically killed, and a certain amount of running memory will always be maintained to make the phone smooth." Fang Jiming thought, "We still need to work hard on the chip and continue to move towards performance. As for power consumption, we will continue to upgrade the system and let the system control the operation of the software after the screen is locked. Except for the necessary software, the rest cannot be opened."

Fang Jiming thought about it again, why is this system so familiar?

"Hey, isn't this the ios system? But, IOS is gone now, so it shouldn't be a problem to borrow ideas." Fang Jiming is used to this kind of borrowing, and he doesn't know how much he has borrowed.
