Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Qiao Ruida operated the phone and opened the system configuration page to check it out. He found that the processor model used in this folding screen phone is Sihai-2, the memory is an exaggerated 16G, and the body storage is 512G, which is higher than some people's computers. He opened the Antutu software and ran a test. The score reached an astonishing million. This running score is simply terrifying.

"Don't stand there, let's sit down and talk. This Sihai-2 processor is a graphene chip, right? Its performance is pretty good. What is its power consumption during daily operation? Does it generate a lot of heat?"

"Yes, the Sihai No. 1 processor is indeed our newly developed graphene chip. The CPU performance is roughly the same as the M0.05 processor, and the GPU performance is similar to that of a mid-range discrete graphics card. Due to the use of the latest graphene process technology, the power consumption of the Sihai No. 0.5 processor is very low, with standby power consumption below 3W and daily power consumption around 35W. Even if you use the baking software and max out the CPU and GPU, the power consumption will not exceed W. The corresponding heat generation is also very low. After playing games for half an hour, the body temperature will not exceed degrees." Xiao Jingsheng sat opposite Qiao Ruida as he was told. He basically participated in the entire research and development process of this folding phone, and he could introduce it like a treasure trove.

"Not bad, not bad. The processor has such low power consumption, and coupled with a large-capacity graphene battery, the battery life of this phone is definitely not bad. It won't be a big problem to use it for four or five days without charging. By the way, are you going to launch a new series of this folding phone, or will you use it in the existing mobile phone series?"

"Manager Zhao and I have discussed this and plan to include the foldable phone in the high-end Xingyao series. The Xingyao 2nd generation phone that will be released soon is a large-screen candy-bar phone, while the foldable phone is temporarily named Xingyao S. The hardware configurations of the two phones are basically the same, with only the screen being different."

Qiao Ruida nodded, indicating that he agreed with this classification method. When the Xingyao series of mobile phones were first released, they were positioned as high-end. As a new type of smart phone, it is completely fine for the folding screen mobile phone to be classified as a high-end mobile phone. He operated the mobile phone and downloaded several daily software, such as WeChat, Youku, Kuaipai, Ruida Mall, etc. He opened them one by one, tested the adaptation of large and small screens, and did not find any bugs. Then he downloaded several large mobile games and PC games, logged into several games and ran a few laps, and found that the operation was smooth and smooth without any lag. All mobile games run at full frame, and PC games run in translation mode. With all special effects turned on, they can maintain more than 120 frames, which can basically run at the full screen refresh rate. Except for the awkward touch operation method, the gaming experience is perfect.

"Well, the gaming experience is pretty good, and the fluency is no worse than that of a gaming computer. By the way, have you finished the mobile PC mode I asked you to develop?"

"The basic development is completed. The functions are based on those of Reda laptops. They are perfectly compatible with PC software, and the problem of multi-tasking and multi-window coexistence has also been solved. We plan to add PC mode to the next version of the Kaitian system. At that time, the Reda series of mobile phones and Xingyao series of mobile phones only need to be equipped with an expansion dock, connected to a monitor, mouse, keyboard and other accessories, and they can be used as computers. Xiaoda mobile phones do not support PC mode for the time being because the Type-C interface they are equipped with does not support video output and the processor performance is limited.

In fact, this folding phone is already equipped with PC mode, and we have also developed a mobile phone expansion dock with Type-C interface. Mr. Qiao, you can test it to see if it meets your requirements. "As he said this, Jamel Xiao took out a small expansion dock from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Ruida.

Qiao Ruida took the docking station and played with it for a while. He found that it was only about 3.0 centimeters long and very compact and portable. The docking station has a Type-C interface on one end and a lighter-sized expansion interface on the other end. It includes three USB interfaces, an HDMI video interface, and a card reader interface. The number of interfaces is not large, but it is basically enough.

Qiao Ruida plugged the docking station into the folding phone, then unplugged the monitor, keyboard and mouse of the office computer and plugged them into the docking station. The next moment, the display screen showed an interface similar to the Microsoft Windows system, and various installed PC software and games also appeared on the desktop. Qiao Ruida slid the mouse, and a cursor appeared on the screen, moving synchronously with the movement of the mouse. He double-clicked the mouse, opened the World of Warcraft game he had just downloaded, logged into the game with an existing account, operated the keyboard and mouse, and performed several tasks in the game. He found that the operation was basically the same as that of a PC computer. After the screen was enlarged, there was no problem with the display. The picture was clear and smooth, and the frame rate reached more than 200.

Qiao Ruida quit the game, opened the software store, downloaded several office software and productivity software, and conducted a comprehensive test. Thanks to the powerful translation mode of the Kaitian system, using this folding phone to open various software running the Microsoft Windows system, there are no bugs such as freezes, flashbacks, incomplete displays, and typesetting errors. Even some very performance-intensive drawing rendering and video editing software may run slower, but there are no errors. This means that if there is a problem with your office computer, there is no problem using this folding phone temporarily as an office computer. It is even more powerful and easier to use than the office computers equipped by many companies.

During the test, Qiao Ruida also found some minor problems in PC mode, such as inconvenient input method switching, no shortcut keys, and occasional pop-up screen keyboard when using an external keyboard; conflicts between PC mode background programs and mobile mode background programs, frequent switching errors; full-screen video playback, occasional mismatch between horizontal and vertical screens, and screen display beyond the screen, etc. Qiao Ruida pointed out these minor bugs he found one by one. Xiao Jingsheng took out a small notebook and wrote down the problems Qiao Ruida pointed out one by one.

"Mr. Qiao, you are amazing. You found so many problems after only trying it for less than an hour. I will report these problems to the mobile phone system development team when I go back and have them corrected as soon as possible."

Qiao Ruida operated the keyboard and mouse, playing a 3A game very attentively, and said without raising his head: "Okay, that's it, leave this foldable phone for me, I will try it for a few more days, and I will contact you in time if there are any problems."

After sending Shao Heping away, Qiao Ruida looked at his watch and found that it was time to get off work. No wonder there was a lot of noise outside the laboratory. Qiao Ruida stood up, packed up his things, and followed everyone off work. When he drove back home, his mother and younger sister had already prepared dinner. The food made by his mother Yao Miaozhi may not be the best-looking or the most delicious, but it suits Qiao Ruida's taste very well. It tastes like home, which is something that no restaurant or chef can give.

After dinner, the mother and younger sister turned on the TV and continued to watch TV series, while the father opened the account book to check the store's accounts for today. Qiao Ruida had nothing to do, so he took out the folding phone and continued the unfinished test. Perhaps the shape of the folding phone was too eye-catching, and Qiao Ruida had just played a game and attracted the attention of his sister Qiao Ruixue.

"Brother, is that the new phone from Reda Technology that you're holding? It looks so weird. There's a small screen under the camera. What's its function?"

It is just 2014, and flexible screens and folding screens have not yet been launched, and folding screen phones have never appeared on the market. It is normal that Qiao Ruixue could not recognize it. "This is the latest folding screen phone developed by Ruida Technology. The phone can be folded in half like this. In the folded state, this small screen comes in handy. You can check the time, answer calls, and take selfies. It has many uses." Qiao Ruida stopped the game, closed the phone with a "snap", and then operated on the small screen on the back of the phone to demonstrate several application scenarios of the secondary screen.

Such a novel folding phone immediately attracted the attention of the whole family, especially the younger sister Qiao Ruixue, who was so excited when she saw the folding phone. It seems that just like in the past, this kind of small vertical folding phone is very popular among female consumers.

"What a delicate folding phone. Brother, can you lend it to me to play with for two days?" Qiao Ruixue grabbed Qiao Ruida's arm and begged pitifully.

From childhood to adulthood, Qiao Ruixue's pitiful offensive has always been successful. It is precisely because of this trick that many toys that Qiao Ruida likes very much have become her collection. This time is no exception. The folding phone is not an important thing. Qiao Ruida handed it to her sister and said, "It's okay to give this phone to you, but this is a test machine. There are some bugs. If you find any problems during use, remember to report them to me."

"I understand. Thank you, brother!" Qiao Ruixue happily took the phone and started playing with it. She even stopped watching the soap opera she had just gotten into.

"Hey, this small screen is so convenient for taking selfies. In previous smartphones, you could only use the front camera for selfies, which had few pixels, poor image quality, and no flash, so the photo effect was terrible. This folding phone is different. With this small screen on the back, you can use the rear camera for selfies, and the image quality is even better than the front camera."

Qiao Ruixue quickly discovered a major advantage of the foldable phone and took selfies in various cute poses. Her mother Yao Miaozhi was also attracted by this novel phone and started studying it with her sister.

His father Qiao Jingkang also put down his account book, observed the folding phone for a while, and gave his comments, "This folding phone only takes up a smaller volume when it is stored, and the rest is similar to ordinary smartphones. If I were a mobile phone designer, I would develop a horizontal screen folding phone. When the inner screen is closed, it can be used as a normal phone. When the inner screen is opened, the display area immediately doubles and can be used as a tablet. This is much more practical than this vertical screen folding phone."

Qiao Ruida gave his father a thumbs up and said, "Dad, you are very insightful. You pointed out another model of folding mobile phones in one sentence. However, flexible folding screens are still new. They have just been successfully developed not long ago, and the technology is not very mature. At present, only small-sized folding screens can be made. If you want to make the horizontal folding screen mobile phone you mentioned, it will take at least until next year."

"Is that so? That's a pity. I thought there would be a large-screen folding phone available soon. But now this vertical screen folding phone is not bad, with a small and exquisite shape. After it goes on sale, it should be very popular with girls. Is this folding screen expensive? How durable is the folding part? How many times can it be folded without damage?" Qiao Jingkang has been working in mobile phone sales for two years and has accumulated rich experience. He has a very accurate sales positioning for folding phones. The questions he raised are also to the point.

"This flexible folding screen uses a graphene substrate, so it has no durability issues. It can be folded 1000 times without damage. The cost is indeed a bit higher, about twice that of an ordinary OLED screen. In terms of price, a folding phone is about yuan more expensive than a straight-screen phone with the same configuration."

“The price is only 1000 yuan more? That’s not much. There must be people willing to pay for this small and exquisite appearance. If you sell it together with a small leather bag for the phone, and make the folding phone a part of fashion accessories, the sales volume can be increased a lot.” Qiao Jingkang is indeed experienced in mobile phone sales. He even came up with the plan of selling mobile phones and matching shoulder bags together. It was a stroke of genius and Qiao Ruida was very impressed.

"Dad, this is a great idea. I will give it to the mobile phone development and sales department for reference. By the way, Dad, how are the sales of Reda House since the beginning of the year?"

"The sales of Xiaoda 5nd generation mobile phones and Ruida nd generation notebooks are very good. Basically, no matter how many are produced, they can be sold. The sales of Ruida mobile phones and Xingyao mobile phones are not optimistic, especially Ruida mobile phones, which have the worst sales, with only a dozen units sold a day. Xiaoda nd generation mobile phones use NM main control chips, and the performance improvement is too great. In terms of running points and playing games, it even exceeds Ruida rd generation mobile phones, but the price is only half of the latter. Affected by this, it is reasonable that Ruida series and Xingyao series mobile phones are not selling well."

Qiao Ruida nodded. This sales situation was also expected. "When I decided to use 5nm chips for Xiaoda mobile phones, I anticipated the current situation. But this is only temporary. After the spring new product launch, the new generation of Ruida mobile phones and Xingyao mobile phones will be launched, and the situation will improve. These two new mobile phones use graphene processors, and their performance has once again widened the gap with Xiaoda mobile phones. The battery life has also been qualitatively improved, and the sales will definitely not be too bad."

"That's good. The peak period for mobile phone purchases is after the New Year. It's just the right time for Reda Technology to release a new mobile phone. By the way, can this folding screen mobile phone be released in time for this spring conference?" (End of this chapter)
