183: The Era of Full-Screen Displays (Part 5)
At this moment, a terrifying thought appeared in many people's minds: Red Star wouldn't actually be mass-producing this phone, would they?!
Thinking of this possibility, the faces of the media reporters were full of excitement; releasing a concept phone and mass-producing a concept phone were two completely different matters.
To release this phone, they might only need to make a few units in the lab regardless of cost.
Mass production was different; various processes, materials, and components all had to be improved according to the requirements of mass production.
There's a saying in the car world: if the concept car is Xi Shi, the mass-produced version is Ru Hua.
The difference was simply too vast.
To mass-produce, one must make various compromises.
"This full-screen concept from Red Star is bound to cause a sensation in the entire mobile phone market. Perhaps the development trends of the next ten years will truly be led by Red Star from now on." Facing the high-spirited Chen Chen on stage, Lei Jun felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.
Before the press conference, Lei Jun was still worried that Red Star's attempt to benchmark against Samsung's Galaxy note series was a bit whimsical. But seeing the conference now, Lei Jun felt that no matter what kind of phone Samsung released tonight, it would be unable to shake the Red Star X Full-Screen Display phone.
Samsung: I ******.
Perhaps Red Star really could represent Chinese domestic manufacturers in a showdown against Samsung and Fruit?
As long as it could be mass-produced, Red Star's full-screen concept phone could build a reputation for Chinese phones in the global market, which would be a good thing for other domestic manufacturers expanding overseas.
Perhaps the counterattack of Chinese phones against foreign brands like Fruit and Samsung begins today.
"In terms of the screen, we are also using an OLED screen for the first time!"
When Chen Chen began introducing the phone screen, his first sentence made the entire venue boil over again.
An OLED screen!
It was actually an OLED screen!
For many ordinary consumers in China, 'OLED screen' was still a brand-new term. Of course, this did not include phone manufacturers and digital enthusiasts.
One must know that in the current market, only LG and Samsung were able to use OLED screens on mobile phones.
Even Fruit was still using LCD screens.
More than half of Samsung's high-end market share was even built upon OLED screens.
"Red Star Company has entered into technical cooperation with the world-renowned LG Company to jointly launch this OLED screen with a brand-new pixel arrangement."
"The quality of this screen, whether in terms of lifespan or visual experience, completely surpasses all OLED screens on the market, and it doesn't even fall behind Samsung's top-tier OLED screens."
No matter how much you talk up 'diamond-like' pixels, they are still just 'diamond-like.' Compared to a true diamond arrangement, there is still a slight gap. However, this screen was deeply co-tuned by Red Star and LG, so in terms of overall quality, it was not inferior to Samsung's.
Seeing the excited audience below the stage, Chen Chen also began to introduce in detail this screen that had taken a lot of time and effort to finalize.
At the same time, the large screen behind him displayed a comparison chart between Samsung's previous mobile phone OLED screens and their own OLED screen.
From the details and various parameters, it could be seen that compared to the vivid OLED screen featured on the Samsung Galaxy S5 released in the first half of this year, Red Star's OLED screen was a complete victory.
"I believe that most mobile phone screens currently on the market simply cannot compare to our 6.17-inch screen. The full-screen design combined with such a high-quality screen brings an unparalleled experience to users."
Chen Chen's words made many Chinese consumers feel an inexplicable excitement. One must know that even though Red Star's ROC Phone had already gone abroad, it only led foreign brands like Samsung and Fruit in terms of battery charging and photography.
With this brand-new design concept and the powerful hardware already announced, star fans and Chinese consumers could finally stand tall when comparing themselves to those other brands.
One must remember that Red Star's best skills were batteries and charging, and Red Star hadn't even announced those two points yet.
In the original speech draft, there was a section about Red Star going to Silicon Valley to discuss screen ratios with Google.
At the very least, it was supposed to mention the efforts Red Star made to create this full-screen phone, how they negotiated with Google, and how difficult it was.
But in the end, Chen Chen deleted that part.
In Chen Chen's view, this was not something worth mentioning, nor was it particularly honorable.
For Red Star to develop a different kind of phone, they actually had to fly to Silicon Valley to discuss it with a USA company and obtain their consent.
It was simply the height of absurdity.
Chen Chen wasn't overly sensitive, nor was it exactly a humiliation.
But it was certainly not something to brag about.
"As everyone knows, our Red Star's fast-charging technology has always led the world. On the road to exploring faster charging, we can say that Red Star stands alone."
"On our full-screen concept phone this time, we naturally have to do some different explorations in terms of charging."
【Wireless Charging】
The four large characters dropped onto the stage's big screen along with a sound effect.
Wait, we haven't even figured out wired fast charging yet, and your Red Star is already starting to play with Wireless Charging?
Can we still play nicely together?
You, Red Star, are so noble and amazing; you finish with wired and then move to wireless.
Can you consider us other manufacturers for a moment?
Your public solution only gave us 22.5 watts while you keep 55 watts for yourselves. Is that fun?
Although 22.5 watts is already an unattainable speed for some manufacturers.
Fruit users: Did I say anything about my ***5 watts... The heads of the major manufacturers in the front row got a headache as soon as they heard Red Star talk about charging and batteries. Now seeing Wireless Charging, they were all staring at each other in disbelief.
"The history of Wireless Charging can be said to be very long. In the late 19th century, Nikola Tesla proposed wireless power transmission and conducted related experiments."
"In 2009, Palm released the first mobile phone that supported Wireless Charging at the Global Consumer Electronics Show."
