77: Chapter 77 The Modified Universal Charger
"I know what you all are going to ask: 'Isn't this just a modded Android? How dare you claim it's self-developed? You've got some nerve.'" Big Mouth Yu said on stage with a smile.
A wave of murmurs rose from the audience.
"I'm telling you, it's not.
Taishan OS is based on open-source AOSP. It does have some connection to Android, but not much. You can think of them both as being developed from the same shell.
However, we are gradually replacing the code. The latest version has already replaced over 40%. Of course, this version is still undergoing stability testing.
Moving forward, everything from kernel scheduling to all the core components will be modified, but that's for the future. Let's look at the current version first."
A simple architecture diagram appeared on the big screen. Although the original open-source AOSP still occupied most of the interface, a small red army had already taken over the interior.
Just like in the past...
"This here is memory management. Native Android uses the LRU algorithm; if you have too many apps open, it lags.
But we use our self-developed intelligent pre-loading. It predicts which apps you're about to open based on your daily usage habits and allocates resources in advance."
Starting off with such technical jargon made many in the audience scratch their heads. After all, not everyone was a professional, and they didn't quite grasp these terms. They only understood one thing: No lag.
Off-stage, Shen Fei spoke with Mr. Ren again: "Mr. Ren, I didn't pick the wrong general, did I?"
Mr. Ren nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"Although this kid is usually a bit unserious, his technical skills are top-notch. I didn't expect him to be so professional at a press conference; he really is a promising talent.
But you mentioned handing over Huawei's terminal business to him in the future—isn't that a bit too early?"
"Not at all! As long as he has the capability, that's enough."
"However, Big Mouth Yu tends to have no filter when he speaks. He could use some tempering in that regard."
Although he didn't know how Shen Fei had figured that out, Mr. Ren nodded again, choosing to trust Shen Fei's judgment. He prepared to adjust the relevant appointments after the Mate and Honor series were released this year.
Of course, it would only be a small promotion; after all, as Shen Fei said, this guy tends to get carried away.
On stage, Big Mouth Yu was clearly unaware that he had been promoted while introducing the product.
After finishing the system introduction, he moved on to discuss performance.
"Our Mate1 is equipped with the MediaTek MTK6573 chip."
An introduction to the chip appeared on the big screen. MTK6573, a MediaTek 3G chip.
It has a clock speed of 650MHz and an Arm11 communication baseband. It supports dual SIM dual standby, which could be considered its biggest highlight.
After all, the GPU is an SGX531, capable of running only minor games, and the manufacturing process is 65nm, with mediocre power consumption control. The chip is positioned exclusively for low-end Smartphones.
The moment this chip appeared, some of the expectant audience in the audience immediately showed expressions of disdain. Such a great design, yet it was equipped with such a trashy chip.
Seeing the disdainful looks from the audience, Big Mouth Yu smiled again. The audience thought he was just giving up, but in reality, he was about to unleash a trump card.
The PPT on the big screen switched again. A line of shocking text appeared: Transsion's self-developed overclocking enhancement algorithm: Granting the chip power beyond its class.
MTK6573 Enhanced Edition: Clock speed 845MHz...
This self-developed overclocking enhancement algorithm was the black tech enhancement center's explanation to the outside world. Whether they believed it or not, this was the official announcement.
"These are the parameters after we and the Transsion engineers performed deep optimization on this chip.
By modifying the voltage-frequency curve, optimizing the thermal design, and rewriting the drivers, we've increased its actual performance by 20% over the reference design.
And..." At this point, he emphasized his tone once more as he lightly pressed the remote to advance the slide: "Its power consumption has been reduced by 30%. You could make fun of its performance before, but now, it's at an above-average level."
Once this shocking data was revealed, looks of disbelief instantly appeared on everyone's faces. This... how was that possible?
Meanwhile, the MediaTek regional manager sitting in the guest section was equally incredulous. Although the MTK6573 had some minor issues, that was already its limit. How could Transsion...
Wait! He seemed to have realized something was off, but this could be an opportunity. After all, Transsion had made their chip more powerful and sold it at a price point it didn't belong in. MediaTek's high-end aspirations might actually succeed.
If they could acquire this technology, could they surpass Qualcomm and Texas Instruments...
At the same time, Big Mouth Yu on stage moved on to another key point.
"Battery anxiety is completely obliterated! This time, our Mate is equipped with a brand-new, self-produced High-density battery using graphene, with a capacity of up to 3000mAh."
A diagram of the battery structure appeared on the big screen. Traditional batteries generally have an energy density of 120Wh/kg, but our High-density battery is 145Wh/kg (first-generation High-density battery). For the same volume, the battery capacity is larger.
The screen began playing the test results. After rigorous testing, everyone saw the outcome: with normal usage, this Mate1 could easily last two days on a single charge, and even with heavy usage, it could last a full day! In the era of Smartphones, this was nothing short of a miracle.
"I believe that after watching this video, you all have a certain understanding of our High-density battery. But you might be thinking, 'A 3000mAh battery definitely gives a sense of security, but won't it charge too slowly? Using a regular charger, it won't even be full after a whole night... No matter how big the battery is, it's useless if it's slow.'"
At this moment, Big Mouth Yu pulled out a universal charger. However, this universal charger was more refined than standard ones, supported battery level display, and the interface had been significantly modded. Its exquisite appearance was very attractive, and many people were instantly intrigued.
"To solve your battery anxiety, our Mate Smartphone supports quick-release. With a gentle flick, you can remove the battery, swap in a spare, and be back to full power instantly. Furthermore, using our exclusive Mate universal charger, you can fully charge a battery in 3 hours."
Three hours to charge a 3000mAh battery? Many in the audience couldn't believe it...
Big Mouth Yu performed a live test on stage. He gave a gentle flick, and the back cover popped open automatically—it was much more convenient to swap batteries compared to traditional Smartphones. He picked up the universal charger, which displayed the battery level in real-time. It had only taken five minutes to charge two percent, an efficiency that shocked them. Plus, the battery level display feature was genuinely convenient.
"Is it fast?" Big Mouth Yu asked on stage. "Fast!" the audience replied in unison, followed by a round of very loud applause.
"This is the power of technology," Big Mouth Yu said loudly.
"However, you don't need to worry. Our batteries support third-party universal chargers, though they aren't as convenient as ours and the speed isn't as fast. It might take seven hours to fully charge. But rest assured, the accessories aren't expensive, and there will be discounts when purchasing our Mate Smartphone..."
As he finished this part of the introduction, even louder applause erupted, lasting for over thirty seconds. Meanwhile, the 'battery anxiety' on the big screen was crossed out with a large 'X', and a new issue approached: Photography!
At the same time, the big screen displayed the Mate1's camera configuration: 5-megapixel rear camera and 1-megapixel front camera!
"With the popularity of Smartphones, we have developed certain expectations for mobile photography. We don't just want a simple photo; we want it to be taken quickly, look good, and be filled with commemorative value. Well, today, the Mate1 might just give you a satisfactory answer..."
