181: The Era of Full-Screen Displays (Part 3)

A concept phone? Isn't that just bragging?

As if no one else knows how to do that.

It's just that today, your Red Star is bragging a bit harder.

"Until now in this press conference, our real device has not yet appeared."

"But in fact, from the very beginning of this conference, a real device has been right in front of everyone."

"Holy crap! If Red Star really made a phone like this, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!"

"That's too incredible. The entire front panel is all screen; it really looks like a phone from a sci-fi movie."

"I'll say it again: if Red Star can really mass-produce this kind of phone, I'll livestream myself humping an electric fan on the highest setting!"

"I don't believe Red Star can make such a phone unless President Chen gives me one."

"In front of us? Did anyone at the scene see it? We on the livestream can't see anything."

The audience at the scene also recovered from the shock just now. Indeed, President Chen had been talking for a long time without showing a real device. Although Xiaomi's Note 1 was a 'PPT phone,' at least a physical device existed.

President Chen said the phone had been on-site the whole time, but it couldn't be seen. The audience began to whisper among themselves.

In the front row, Lei Jun, Yu Chengbei, and the others also looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Chen said it had been here all along, but even sitting so close, they hadn't seen it.

Was it hidden?

Facing everyone's doubtful gazes, Chen Chen slowly walked toward the large screen behind the stage. The livestream camera followed his steps until he stopped right next to the massive screen.

The screen only displayed a large 'X.' Chen Chen reached out and took a phone off this screen, holding it above his head and looking around.

"This is our Full-Screen Display concept phone, the Red Star X!"

The media and audience on-site were beyond shocked—he had actually taken a phone right out of the screen in front of everyone!

"Whoa!"

"Awesome, awesome! You couldn't tell at all!"

"Red Star really made this kind of phone? Holy shit!"

"That works too? Who could have noticed that!"

"As expected of a Full-Screen Display concept phone; there's no sense of incongruity when placed there."

Carrying the phone back to the center of the stage, in front of everyone, Chen Chen slowly lit up the screen toward the broadcast camera.

The screen behind the stage also began to broadcast the footage captured by the camera.

As an 'X' slowly faded into the screen animation, the originally dark screen instantly lit up with the system interface.

A single screen!

A screen with a screen-to-body ratio of over 94% appeared in everyone's sight.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Clap clap clap, clap clap clap!"

As smartphone giants like Yu Chengbei and Lei Jun began to applaud, the entire space below the stage, the whole Water Cube venue, began to echo with applause.

The Full-Screen Display phone, in the form of a concept machine, had appeared before everyone.

For the first time, Red Star had turned a concept entirely into reality.

When an ethereal future concept becomes reality, it is destined that all future developments will become possible.

At this moment, Red Star would turn the page on the old forms of the mobile phone industry, leading the entire industry into a new era.

An era belonging to the Full-Screen Display.

The applause gradually died down, and the audience below the stage continued to focus their eyes on the Full-Screen Display phone in Chen Chen's hand.

"Is it beautiful?" Chen Chen shouted to the audience while holding the phone.

"Beautiful!"

"Beautiful, beautiful!"

"I remember last year, President Bai of Meizu said that the slogan on the back of Meizu phones was blank because many good slogans had already been used by Rival Companies."

"Before this press conference, I was also thinking, what kind of slogan should I give our new phone?"

"There are many words that can reflect our Red Star spirit, but I feel that only one word is worthy of being this phone's slogan."

"And that is: Explore."

"Because of exploration, our Red Star has the world's fastest charging."

"Because of exploration, our Red Star has the high-density Yangtze River Battery."

"Because of exploration, we have applied ceramics to mobile phones for the first time."

"Because of exploration, we were able to design such a Full-Screen Display concept phone."

"Exploration never stops."

"Even if it's just a little bit better, we are willing to put in 100% effort."

"After talking so much, the exploration on this phone actually goes far beyond this. This phone is equipped with our Red Star's brand new ultra-flagship processor, Lingxiao—Jueying!"

"Why call it an ultra-flagship processor? Because as of now, no processor in any phone can reach the level of our Jueying."

Unlike the A57 public architecture used by Qualcomm and MediaTek, which limited the development of chip performance, this Zhuifeng Architecture from the Xiao Ai system is a dimensional reduction strike against all chips on the market.

Whoever truly masters the architecture design technology for chips will have greater initiative in the design of mobile phone chips in the future.

"Jueying?" Yu Chengbei's expression changed drastically. When Chen Chen was introducing the Full-Screen Display concept phone, he didn't feel much—it was a concept phone, after all; everyone understands what that means.

But this ultra-flagship processor, Jueying, forced Yu Chengbei to take it seriously. A concept phone could be made as a few engineering samples regardless of cost just for show, but you can't just make "engineering samples" for chips.

Since Chen Chen said this Full-Screen Display phone is equipped with Jueying, then Red Star can definitely mass-produce this chip.

He had originally thought he could use the Kirin 910T to win back some ground, but it seemed even that idea was going to fall through.

"Jueying adopts a 64-bit 8-core design. Unlike the 4+4 big.LITTLE core design previously used by manufacturers, Zhuiying adopts a 6+2 big.LITTLE core design."

"Among them, the 6 large cores using the Zhuifeng Architecture can all reach a staggering main frequency of 2.65GHz, possessing very strong performance bursts."

"The main frequency of the two small cores is 1.7GHz. In low-load scenarios, the two small cores can significantly reduce the phone's heat and account for battery life."

"Holy crap, is Red Star crazy? Six large cores over 2.6GHz, and a new architecture to boot—aren't they afraid of a disaster like Nvidia's Tegra 4?" Lei Jun was also shocked to hear about the 2.6GHz main core frequency, and there were six of them!

One must know that the higher the frequency, the more severe the processor's heat generation. One wrong move and it's a disaster. Lei Jun originally thought the nearly 2GHz frequency of the Qualcomm snapdragon 810 was scary enough, but he didn't expect Red Star to be even more aggressive in this regard. 2.65GHz—how did they dare!

How they dared is actually very simple: the performance is so powerful that in daily use or even some high-load scenarios, the performance of this processor is never fully utilized. Unless these six ultra-large cores are pushed to full power in a laboratory, it's unlikely the cooling module won't be able to handle the chip.
