85: The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber II

"The Kunpeng mobile phone is the first step Red Star has taken on the road to the high-end market. Fortunately, we succeeded. This is inseparable from the hard work of our thousands of Engineers and the support of our fans and friends."

"In the past year, the Kunpeng mobile phone has sold a total of..."

Chen Chen pressed the remote control in his hand, and a huge number appeared on the screen behind the stage, accompanied by sound effects.

"That's right, 11 million units!"

"Our first-generation Kunpeng mobile phone featured the world's first 1080p screen, had the world's fastest charging speed, and offered the best photography experience. Combined with that unparalleled feel, I'm not surprised at all to have achieved this result today."

"Make products with heart, and the products will speak for themselves!"

Clap clap clap clap clap...

The audience, recovering from the shock of the 11 million sales figure, gave Chen Chen a warm round of applause.

Looking at that glaring '11 million', whether it was Lei Jun, Yu Chengbei, or even Mr. Huang, they all felt a pang of unease in their hearts.

If Chen Chen had said the Red Star 2 sold 11 million units, they wouldn't have felt so bad. But this was the Kunpeng mobile phone—a mid-to-high-end model with a starting price of 3,000!

As mobile phone manufacturers, who didn't have a dream of going high-end? But among these domestic manufacturers, except for Huawei making some progress, the others were all struggling in the mid-to-low-end range.

"It seems Xiaomi needs to speed up the development of its high-end phones."

Lei Jun pondered to himself. Xiaomi also had its own high-end dreams and had already restarted the development of the xiaomi note, which was expected to launch in the middle of next year.

On stage, Chen Chen continued to address the audience:

"So, what upgrades does our kunpeng phone 2nd generation bring this time? Everyone, please look at the big screen first."

Everyone looked at the content on the big screen behind Chen Chen, not understanding what it was trying to convey.

The big screen read: [40 processes, 198 procedures].

"A 309-gram piece of Austenitic 304 material, through 40 processes and 198 procedures, processed relentlessly for 32 hours, through a series of artistic journeys, finally transformed into this 18-gram stainless steel middle frame presented before your eyes."

"For the back cover material, we used 3D glass and applied a curved finish on both sides, allowing it to fit tightly with our stainless steel middle frame."

"Perhaps some students don't quite like this very bright stainless steel frame. That's okay; our kunpeng phone 2 offers a variety of colors for everyone to choose from. Through a sandblasting and oxidation process, these beautiful colors will adhere tightly to our stainless steel frame."

"The students in our development department also gave these colors some very nice names. For example, for black, they gave it a very pleasant name—Obsidian Black. And for white, there's Star Sand White."

"A color I personally like very much is this Rock Cyan."

"Among the ever-changing greens of the world, we found a steady power and a color that embodies Eastern aesthetics—quiet, deep, and instantly warm. The more you look at it, the more you can appreciate its nobility and elegance."

"This is also the best interpretation of our Kunpeng mobile phone's slogan: [Pursue dreams with steel as refined as jade]."

"Do you all like this appearance and color?"

"We love it!" The audience below stared intently at the so-called Rock Cyan. It was a green somewhat like jade, but a bit lighter. It was clear that Red Star had put serious research into the colors this time.

"The thickness of the Kunpeng mobile phone is only 6.71 millimeters. I'll explain why we could make it so thin in a moment. Rest assured, the battery will definitely not be shrunk for the sake of thinness, unlike some Rival Companies."

Chen Chen's words drew another round of laughter from the audience. Everyone knew that in the last two years, Rival Companies had become obsessed with ultra-thin phones—there was no 'thinnest,' only 'thinner.'

"Other manufacturers talk about configuration first and appearance last. But facing such a beautiful kunpeng phone 2, I really couldn't wait to present the appearance to everyone first."

"Having talked about the exterior, let's talk about the interior. The kunpeng phone 2 is still equipped with our Red Star's independently developed next-generation processor, the soaring cloud s3. This processor is built on TSMC's 28nm process using the HPM technology. It features four cores and four threads, with a maximum frequency of 2.6GHz."

Hearing this maximum frequency, the heads of the mobile phone manufacturers in the audience frowned. How could it be so high?

This was even higher than the 2.3GHz on Qualcomm's snapdragon 800 this year.

Chen Chen had no choice. In fact, the soaring cloud s3 could only be called the Soaring Cloud S2.5 or S2 Pro; it couldn't really be called the S3. But for marketing purposes, he had no choice. The manufacturing process had improved, but the overall architecture hadn't changed much—just some patching and the integration of an ISP and the Kaitian baseband.

By forcibly increasing the main frequency to squeeze out performance, the peak power of this processor reached 7.4 watts. Increased frequency and power would definitely bring more heat, so Chen Chen directly used dual copper pipe cooling this time. Through flexible scheduling of processor resource cores and the addition of copper pipe cooling, high-load scenarios would basically not be affected.

Chen Chen didn't talk much about the processor; he just brushed over the basic performance. In any case, it didn't support the Telecom 4G standard.

"Having finished with the processor, let's look at the screen. A 5.7-inch large screen with 1080p resolution. After deep tuning by our Red Star Screen Lab, this screen is very impressive in both color gamut and display effect."

The screen was still the same old 1080p. It wasn't that Chen Chen didn't want to go 2K. Currently, Samsung and LG both had quasi-2K screens (what would be called 1.5K today), but the processor couldn't handle it. The frequency was already high, and with a high-load 2K screen, he wasn't afraid of the battery draining, but the heat would definitely be unbearable.

The scenario of the xiaomi note 1 was still fresh in his memory.

A 2K screen with a 3000mAh battery, plus the 'Fire Dragon' 810, directly crushed Lei Jun's first high-end dream.

When the new processor is completed next year, combined with the addition of a full screen—in one word, they'll all be finished!

"Regarding the camera, the sensor is the latest Sony IM229 sensor, using a 6-piece fully transparent stacked glass lens. Continuing with Red Star's algorithm support, it can still bring you better resolution and photo effects. Moreover, the front lens supports real-time beauty functions."

"To give our phones a longer usage time, we have adopted our newly developed Yangtze River Battery for the kunpeng phone 2nd generation. Combined with a system-level power management system, it allows the Kunpeng 2nd generation to reach a terrifying 12 hours of continuous usage time."

"Yangtze River Battery?"

"Have you heard of this name?"

As Chen Chen mentioned the name of the Yangtze River Battery, discussions indeed broke out among the audience.

Other aspects of the kunpeng phone 2nd generation seemed like routine upgrades without anything particularly brilliant, but as soon as battery and charging were mentioned, Chen Chen could certainly talk incessantly for a long time.

The selling points, after all, were the charging and the battery.
