130: Chapter 130 Are domestically produced mobile phones really that good now?

At the Apple launch event.

Chu Kun was watching Lu Qun on stage introducing the Apple phone's memory. With 512MB of RAM, it was considered mainstream at the time. Combined with the system's optimization for task management, while it wasn't exactly eye-opening, it was still satisfactory.

But just then, a voice suddenly came from the side, laced with a hint of shock.

"Damn, the fanmi 2 has 2GB of RAM!!"

This voice immediately attracted the attention of many, and everyone turned to look.

"How could it be 2GB? You're not looking at a 2GB memory card, are you!"

Immediately, another voice, clearly skeptical, came from the side.

Chu Kun shook his head too. He didn't believe for a second that current smartphones could have 2GB of RAM. It was too exaggerated and lacked any basis.

"Why would I lie to you? Go check online yourselves. All the major tech communities and forums have live text coverage of the Fanmi launch event, and there are even photos as proof!"

As soon as these words were spoken, low discussions immediately broke out, and many people took out their phones.

"Really? 2GB of RAM, how is that possible? With current memory chip technology, 1GB is already the limit, right!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"..."

While they said they didn't believe it, their bodies were honest. Chu Kun, feeling curious, took out his phone and logged into a tech forum he was familiar with.

The pinned post was about the Fanmi launch event, while below it was the live text coverage for the Apple launch. The popularity of the two posts differed by three or four times, which stirred Chu Kun's heart.

"Holy crap, it really is 2GB!!"

Another voice rang out.

At this moment, Chu Kun had also clicked on the post. The main image was a photo, clearly taken at the launch event. Although the image quality wasn't great, the two lines of text on the three massive screens were still clearly visible.

2GB massive RAM, redefining industry standards!

"Damn, it really is 2GB!!!"

Chu Kun was stunned. After seeing the picture, he immediately started scrolling through the post's content, his heart filled with shock.

The internet speed was a bit laggy, and the post's content was loading slowly, but his eyes were fixed tightly on the phone screen, just like someone watching adult websites in the dead of night—extremely patient.

He looked calm, but inside he was in turmoil, filled with urgency.

That was 2GB of RAM, four times that of Apple's! It was like watching a sci-fi movie; it was unbelievable!

At this time, the photos in the post appeared one after another, and the text content had also loaded.

Chu Kun watched, his eyes widening more and more.

It wasn't just the 2GB of RAM... there was shared memory technology... tens of millions of pixels... autofocus... optical image stabilization and a large aperture... a series of technological innovations gathered in one device, completely overwhelming!!

The phone's appearance was also very eye-catching. It had a full metal body, a very high-end matte design, a smooth, sci-fi-inspired frame, and was very thin and light. Looking at it, it was not inferior to Apple's design at all!!

"Damn, are domestic smartphones this impressive now???"

Chu Kun was completely stunned.

He suddenly felt a bit of regret. Why hadn't he gone to the Fanmi launch event when he clearly had a ticket!!

He scrolled to the bottom of the post, but the live coverage ended abruptly without mentioning the system.

"It's not over yet, the Fanmi launch event is still ongoing!!" Chu Kun realized this instantly and, without hesitation, entered the Fanmi official website.

Then he clicked on the live stream of the launch event!

"With such technological innovation, it would be great if it could be equipped with a self-developed system... The android system is too bloated, and it gets unbearably laggy after using it for a while. If that problem could be solved..."

Chu Kun muttered to himself while watching the loading live video, a hint of expectation suddenly rising in his heart.

He looked up at the Apple launch event. It was just repeating the same content that was already online. Because the overseas launch happened first, anyone who wanted to know about it already did, and there was no new content. Suddenly, he felt it was dull.

He suppressed the urge to leave, looking at the loading video with some irritation.

"The internet speed is terrible!!"

He looked around; many people were looking down at their phones, their eyes shining.

"Damn it, I'm out of mobile data. I really wanted to watch the Fanmi live stream!"

"You're a legend, watching a live stream using mobile data. You'll run out of credit in minutes!!"

"My phone has already run out of credit..."

"..."

Successive voices rang out.

Current data plans were generally only a few hundred megabytes. It was fine for normal web browsing or chatting, but if you watched videos, you'd use it all in minutes. Plus, data costs were insanely expensive, so no one was willing to do it.

By this time, many people had lost interest in continuing to watch the Apple launch and were constantly refreshing forum posts, wanting to know the latest situation from the Fanmi launch.

Chu Kun naturally didn't care about that bit of data, but the video loading speed was still too slow. Although the picture had appeared, it was very laggy.

However, he had to make do with watching it, and before he knew it, a circle of people had gathered behind him.

...

Backstage at the Apple launch event.

Lu Qun had just come down from the stage when he discovered that the atmosphere backstage was a bit off.

"What happened?"

He looked at his secretary.

"President Lu, some unexpected situations have arisen at the Fanmi launch event..."

The Secretary in Black Stockings had a complicated expression, and then she briefly explained the situation.

"Tens of millions of pixels for photography? 2GB of RAM???" Lu Qun's expression changed, and his face instantly became grave.

The atmosphere on the scene was heavy.

"President Lu, actually we don't need to pay attention to them. It's just for show. In the current domestic software ecosystem, apps take up little memory, and 512MB is enough!"

"That's right, the 2GB of RAM they came up with looks impressive, but the actual effect is probably not great. As long as their pure-blood Pangu System isn't launched, our advantage is still very obvious!"

"..."

Someone quick-witted, seeing Lu Qun's expression, quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.

Lu Qun looked up at the crowd, the grave expression on his face gradually fading, and he smiled.

"Alright, let's finish our launch event first. Don't be affected by anything else. We'll talk about everything after the launch ends!"

"Yes!"

Everyone replied in unison.

Lu Qun turned around and looked at the audience seating, where there was clearly already some commotion.

Many people were gathered together discussing something.

His brow furrowed slightly; he clearly understood what was happening, but he still maintained his composure.

Although the situation at Fanmi was somewhat beyond his expectations, he still felt confident, and the source of this confidence was naturally Apple's system and self-developed chips.

As long as Fanmi's pure-blood Pangu System didn't come out, he was confident he could remain invincible.

While pondering, he suddenly turned around, found a computer backstage, opened the live stream of the Fanmi launch event, and started watching.

At this moment, the introduction about RAM had just finished. Lei Jun pressed his hands down, barely managing to suppress the heated atmosphere of the venue.

Immediately, a voice came from the computer.

"Next, it should be what everyone is most looking forward to: the system and the chip. I have to say, my mood is a bit heavy right now..."

As Lei Jun's voice came from the computer, the corner of Lu Qun's mouth curled into a smile.
