397: Chapter 397: Price Announcement, Exclusive Beta Testing Period
"Let me explain this to everyone. In cameras, it can be solved by increasing the back focal length of the lens, but on mobile phones, we simply don't have that space."
"This is also one of the reasons why, aside from Transsion, no one in the industry has such great enthusiasm."
"Everyone is stuck here!"
Wang Feng was getting more and more excited as he spoke. He paced slowly on the stage, his steps even mimicking a certain friend, before finally stopping in one spot with an expression that was distinctly reminiscent of that person.
"During that time, our entire project team of 37 people didn't take a single day off for six consecutive months."
"We performed over 2,000 optical simulations and tested more than 100 different micro-lens structures."
"Finally, we invented a brand-new edge pixel enhancement technology. By using specially shaped micro-lenses at the edge of the sensor, we increased the incident light angle from 35 degrees to 45 degrees."
As for what came next, Wang Feng didn't say, but the audience knew very well: it was a success.
"When the first qualified sensor came off the production line, many of our colleagues in the laboratory cried with excitement."
"Because we knew that we hadn't just created a sensor; we had broken the industry's physical limits."
"So, making a large-sensor lens is this difficult?"
"Although it feels a bit like him, the technical staff worked hard. I might not believe the word count claimed by a certain 'Mountain Man,' but I believe the 2,000 optical simulations mentioned by the technical staff. After all, Dr. Wang looks reliable."
"Exactly. Although there are some flaws on stage, this routine is the most popular. Regardless, 'far ahead' is well-deserved."
"Samsung s5 instantly lost its appeal. Transsion is truly strong!"
"Keep going, haters. Why are you silent now?"
On stage, Shen Fei took back the conversation: "So, when someone asks me how much Transsion's technology leads our competitors?"
"I can responsibly tell everyone: it's not just a little bit, not just one generation, but a full three years. Just like how, in the past, no one believed we could make the sensor this big!"
As for the following photography segment, it just involved showing some comparison videos, and, unsurprisingly, they completely crushed the competition...
Soon, it was time for the battery and charging segment.
Batteries are Transsion's heirloom technology, so there was nothing to worry about: 5200mAh for the standard version and 6200mAh for the Pro version.
Charging speed: 27W for the standard version, 33W for the Pro version.
A 10-minute charge gives 4 hours of talk time, and a 30-minute charge fills it to 70%.
Many in the audience rubbed their eyes in disbelief. Is it possible to suck toothpaste back in?
Clearly, guangyun had already debuted 33W, yet the charging speed of the s5 standard version not only didn't improve, but actually dropped significantly.
The battery also shrank by 300mAh.
He also knew these details weren't great, so Shen Fei focused on introducing the Pro version and didn't even mention the standard one.
"Our Pro version's 6200mAh battery allows everyone to play games for the entire flight from Shenzhen to New York and still be able to work normally after getting off the plane."
As for other aspects, it has a metal middle frame and a glass back cover. IP68 technology hasn't been broken through yet, so this time we used IP65, but IP65 is also good; after all, it can prevent some accidents.
In terms of color options, there are five: Space Gray, Silver, Gold, Red, and Blue...
By sacrificing thickness, it was controlled at 7.4mm. The standard version weighs 174g, and the Pro version weighs 185g.
For the Pro version, with a 6200mAh battery packed inside, this weight is absolutely insane.
"Finally, we are going to announce the prices."
With the entry-level Apple version having dropped to just over 4,000, many in the audience were waiting to see if Transsion would make a corresponding counterattack.
But Shen Fei pressed the remote, and the final prices appeared on the screen.
S5 standard version starts at 4,599.
S5 Pro version starts at 5,799.
This price is a bit higher than Apple's, which, well, was within the audience's expectations, given the full-screen display, Under-display Fingerprint, and the super-powerful Taishan 920...
Although the Apple next door is a bit cheaper, its configuration is completely crushed in every aspect. As for Samsung, its configuration is slightly stronger, but it still can't beat the standard version of the Transsion S series.
"transsion s5 goes on sale tonight at 10 PM, with unlimited stock available."
Just as Shen Fei walked to the stage entrance, he said loudly once more: "One more thing, honor of kings will be launched simultaneously tonight."
transsion s5 users get exclusive first-launch access; other users are expected to wait until November 30th.
"This isn't exclusive welfare for Transsion users, but rather because the Android and iOS versions are currently undergoing testing. To ensure a good experience for everyone, we need to fix all bugs as much as possible."
Even so, the download QR code for honor of kings appeared on the big screen, along with various official beta test group chats...
The update speed of the group chat QR codes was almost one per minute.
The gamers were also frantically taking screenshots, but what annoyed them was that opening the QR code showed the group chat was full...
At the same time, the top 10 on Weibo trending topics were completely dominated.
#transsion s5 Full-Screen Display# #Taishan Benchmark Score 123,000# #honor of kings# #Pray for Pony Ma's mood#
"As an Apple fan, I was originally thanking Transsion for driving down Apple's prices, but now I want to cry in the bathroom.
Buying the high-spec version should come out to just over 5,000, which is something I wouldn't have dared to think about before.
Although I can convince myself to accept the fact that the camera, battery life, and charging are all getting crushed.
Now that the full-screen display is out, this small phone instantly lost its appeal. I just want to say, Apple fans' money is really easy to earn."
"You guys above are fine; the ones who are truly uncomfortable should be the competitors.
xiaomi note 3 was screwed over by Qualcomm. For the sake of reputation, the product had to be recalled, but Transsion threw out a trump card directly.
Whether it's the Under-display Fingerprint, the chip, or the full-screen display, the technical content here is definitely very high."
"Don't brag about your master, look outside. Under-display Fingerprint isn't some new technology; Vivo already had it!"
"Having a solution is one thing, but can the unlocking speed compare?"
Meanwhile, Pony Ma wanted to call Shen Fei to ask him why.
But he also knew he didn't have the qualification to question him, and now he could only continue with Penguin's old line of business.
Although PopCap is very strong, Penguin's R&D team isn't bad either... especially with the foundation of the league of legends IP. Anyway, they are all MOBA games...
Most importantly, although Transsion has its own app store, Penguin also has QQ launch screen ads. If they fight, it's not certain who will win.
And in fair competition, Shen Fei shouldn't stop it~
