20: Chapter 20 Xiaomi 5

Hearing Bai Jingqing say there was a new machine,

Peng Rizhao was also taken aback.

Currently, he felt this xiaomi 4 was already very smooth,

he didn't expect Boss Bai to have an even newer and better phone here.

Or was this young man digging a hole for him,

waiting to earn back all the money he had lost?

He then hurriedly asked, "What new machine?"

Bai Jingqing said, "I'm currently naming this phone xiaomi 5,

the chip it uses is the snapdragon 820,

which is a level higher than the snapdragon 801 chip in the current xiaomi 4.

As for the other configurations, there aren't many changes."

Peng Rizhao nodded, "I'll consider this further.

If only the processor has been upgraded a bit,

then the improvement isn't that big,

I might not need it for now."

Bai Jingqing shook his head repeatedly, "Don't think that just because only the processor was upgraded, the improvement to this phone isn't significant.

Do you know heroic battle records?"

Peng Rizhao: "Of course I know it!

Isn't that the hottest mobile game in the country right now?"

People like them who sell phones naturally pay close attention to mobile games,

because customers often ask them if they can smoothly run such-and-such a game,

and the one asked about most right now is heroic battle records.

Bai Jingqing nodded, "This game is about to undergo an epic update,

and will be renamed honor of kings.

I have a premonition that this honor of kings will go completely viral,

becoming the hottest game in the country in the future."

Peng Rizhao nodded, "It's already very popular now."

Bai Jingqing: "No, no, no,

it's not on the same level as its current popularity at all.

It's popular now partly because there aren't many mobile gamers yet,

and on the other hand, because it's known as the mobile version of league of legends.

Many of the heroes' skills are basically adapted from the heroes in the PC game league of legends,

so it has attracted many league of legends players,

as well as some casual players who want to play league of legends but don't have a computer and can only use heroic battle records as a substitute.

But when I say 'hottest',

I mean it will become a phenomenal, explosive hit game.

What do I mean?

When the time comes, you'll see people in every street and alley,

whether they're old people or children, playing this game.

It will become a key project for Penguin,

and by then, this game will transform from a competitive game into a social tool."

Peng Rizhao was stunned, "Can it really be like that?

Boss Bai truly has a far-reaching vision!"

Bai Jingqing nodded, "But I have insider information.

The updated heroic battle records,

which will be called honor of kings then,

will have so much stuff crammed into it,

and various optimizations won't be quite in place yet.

At that time, there probably won't be many phones that can run honor of kings smoothly.

Many phones won't even be able to maintain a stable 30 frames per second (FPS).

You should understand what the concept of 30 FPS is, right?"

Peng Rizhao nodded, "Currently, heroic battle records only goes up to 30 FPS at most.

Even if the honor of kings you mentioned is less than 30 FPS,

it should still be playable, right?"

Bai Jingqing: "True, playing the current heroic battle records at 30 FPS is fine,

but that's because the installation package for the heroic battle records app is still small.

Once Tencent releases the first version of honor of kings,

its size will surge,

even more than doubling its current size.

At that time, the maximum frame rate for honor of kings will be opened up to 60 FPS.

Think about it, 95% of the phones on the market won't even reach 30 FPS,

but my xiaomi 5 can guarantee over 30 FPS,

maybe even fifty or sixty FPS.

Won't it be easier to sell then?"

Peng Rizhao was still quite focused on this game.

As he listened to Bai Jingqing,

he rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression.

He was wondering if what Bai Jingqing said was reliable.

"Boss Bai, you're not joking, are you?

A 60 FPS game,

that can probably only be played on a computer, right?"

Peng Rizhao was very skeptical.

Where were there 60 FPS games on phones right now?

Even on a computer, a 60 FPS game is already considered a masterpiece.

Bai Jingqing shook his head, "I'm not joking.

Future mobile phone performance will definitely get stronger and stronger.

Never mind 60 FPS,

even 120 FPS might be possible by then.

Although computers are also developing alongside phones,

and phone performance will ultimately never catch up to computers,

the speed of mobile phone development in the future will be much faster than that of computers."

Peng Rizhao wasn't completely fooled by Bai Jingqing, "That's because the period of most rapid computer development has already passed.

However, Boss Bai, what you said does make some sense.

Do you have the xiaomi 5 phone you mentioned on you?

Can I take a look at it now?"

Bai Jingqing then handed the xiaomi 5 he had modified himself to Peng Rizhao.

Peng Rizhao took it and looked at the exterior,

then compared it with another xiaomi 4 in his hand,

and fell into deep thought.

This... there's no change at all!

From the outside, it looks exactly the same!

Seeing Peng Rizhao, Bai Jingqing knew what he was thinking, "Don't doubt it,

this is the xiaomi 5 I'm about to launch.

Didn't I tell you,

this only differs from the xiaomi 4 in the chip,

everything else is basically unchanged.

But its performance has indeed become stronger.

If you don't believe me, open a game and try playing a couple of rounds."

Peng Rizhao opened heroic battle records, which had already been downloaded on the phone.

After logging into the game,

he specifically opened the settings,

seeing that all image quality, video quality, particle effects, etc., had been pulled to the maximum,

and the frame rate was set to the highest,

which of course was only 30 FPS at most.

After playing in practice mode for a while,

he still shook his head, "Boss Bai,

I still feel like there's no difference."

Bai Jingqing smiled bitterly, "Indeed, you can't feel the difference now,

after all, honor of kings hasn't been updated yet.

The maximum frame rate for this game right now is only 30 FPS,

and most phones can maintain a stable 30 FPS.

However, there currently isn't an app more performance-intensive than this game.

Wait until after the update to feel it again.

By then, you'll be able to experience it;

the snapdragon 820 is indeed quite a bit stronger than the snapdragon 801."

Peng Rizhao nodded.

This time, he chose to believe Bai Jingqing,

saying, "Boss Bai, I'll follow your lead.

Let me sell these xiaomi 4 phones first to get some capital back,

then I'll come back to you

to stock up on this xiaomi 5 that can run honor of kings at 60 FPS.

If I sell my house and car,

could I buy 100 units—never mind, 50 units of this phone?"

In Peng Rizhao's eyes,

this kind of phone definitely wouldn't be cheap.

If it were really as Bai Jingqing said,

this would be a very disruptive innovation!

Although its appearance hadn't changed much,

it could allow a game to run at 60 FPS,

which was simply unthinkable in the past.

Bai Jingqing: "Boss Peng, don't joke with me.

Didn't I tell you before?

What is my principle?

I want everyone to be able to enjoy the fun of technology!

So forget about selling houses and cars,

and forget about 100 or 50 units.

You can take as many as you want.

This xiaomi 5 phone,

I'm only selling for 2999!"
