pager disappears

传呼机和无线传呼网络于20世纪80年代出现，经过十多年的发展，于20世纪90年代末期达到了顶峰。在手机普及之前，人们普遍以拥有传呼机为荣。1998年，中国传呼机用户突破6546万，名列世界第一。到2007年3月信息产业部发表公示称，中国联通申请停止经营北京等三十省（自治区、直辖市）的198/199、126/127、128/129无线传呼服务。这标志着传呼机在中国大陆地区的运营正式结束。

cameras are disappearing

"What is a mobile phone?" A mobile phone is a camera.Although the pixels of mobile phones in the 2G era are very low, mobile phone photography has become the first choice today. Whoever sees this first will be the biggest winner.The most inconvenient thing for anyone to travel or go on a business trip is to hold a mobile phone in one hand and a digital camera in the other, and the digital camera needs to buy a memory card.And when the mobile phone is a camera, you can directly delete the photos you didn’t take, and you can directly post the photos you like on the Internet, and send them to the LCD electronic screen on the wall of your living room: Maybe you are still in Huangshan, but your family is still there. You can see your photos at home, you can send another text message, set the page turning speed, and you can also add background music.In this way, the camera is dead (except for those cameras used for professional photography).Samsung was the first to see this opportunity, so Samsung's displays use the best technology.Even Apple uses Samsung's display screens. Its mobile phone camera lenses are at the forefront, and its pixels are the highest.

Imagine, what will Canon do in the future?What about Nikon?They may only be high-end enthusiast cameras.It can be predicted that it will definitely not be Nikon that will defeat Canon in the future, but Samsung mobile phones (as early as 2004, when Samsung released the world's first 334 million-pixel camera phone with optical zoom function and other mainstream high-end digital camera functions, it threatened that Samsung mobile phones will replace digital cameras [8]).

The development trend of mobile phone pixels

In November 2000, the world's first camera phone J-SH11 was jointly launched by Sharp and J-PHONE (now Japan's Vodafone). It is only equipped with a 04-pixel CMOS digital camera lens.

2003年5月22日，夏普制造的J-SH53手机，有效像素数为100万，最高记录分辨率为98万个像素，主屏幕采用了尺寸为2.4英寸高清晰度的26万色QVGA液晶屏幕。

In 2008, Samsung launched the world's first 600 million-pixel camera phone SCH-B800, which introduced the LED auto-focus function for the first time.The world's first quasi-special-purpose camera phone is the Samsung SGH-G500, with a camera of 3 million pixels, which not only supports [-]x optical zoom, but more importantly has the function of face recognition.

2013年三星推出1600万像素的Galaxy S4 Zoom手机，而目前数码相机的像素主要集中在1400～1600之间，从分辨率上看，三星手机将取代同时期的数码相机。[9]

This is a myth created by China Mobile.Whoever understands this first will get rich first.
