Chapter 337 Xingyi second generation research and development, Cook doubts life!(2/3)
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "How is the development of the second generation of Xingyi?"
This is the purpose of his coming.
You don’t need to think about it to know that all friends are studying xphone 1 and xphone 1pro, and they are all following the trend, following the trend of design, following the trend of configuration, following the trend of the system...
Xingyi Technology can only go faster.
Calculating the time, iPhone 5 will be released in September this year, and Xingyi 2 will not be too late.
Or release it earlier, in August, to seize the opportunity for new students to start school during the summer vacation.
Every year, tens of millions of college freshmen are equipped with mobile phones, and xphone 1 and xphone 1pro are their choices.
If the second generation is released at this time, it can also attack the iPhone 5 and capture a large number of users.
Or release it after the iPhone 5 is released, directly crush the iPhone 5, and reduce the dimensionality.
That would be an absolute disaster for Apple.
Both options are good, especially the second one.
After all, the current xphone 1 and xphone 1pro are enough to sell and dominate the market.
After the release of iPhone 5 in September, the second generation of Xingyi will be released, just in time to kill again!
As for Xingyi 2 pro, it will be released in March next year.
In this way, there will be one in March, one in September, and a thousand-yuan chance in between.
Three mobile phones a year are enough.
Compared with the tactics of a sea of machines, it is better to control the types of models like the iPhone, so that all models are classic and hot-selling!
For mobile phones, the higher the sales volume of a single model, the lower the diluted cost, and the better the system optimization.
Just like HTC, there are so many phones that it can't be optimized or adapted. In the end, every model fails and everyone is lost.
Zhu Changlin took out a mobile phone: "Chairman, the research and development of the second generation of Xingyi is going smoothly. Look, this is the appearance mold of our second generation of Xingyi."
Wang Yi looked at it and put forward some suggestions for modification: "Make the corners into arcs, which may cost more, but it feels better in the hand. The square edges and corners hurt your hands!"
"Okay!" Zhu Changlin continued: "In terms of configuration, Xingyi II uses Qualcomm APQ8064, 28nm quad-core processor. 7-inch screen, 2G running memory, 720P resolution, dual 8-megapixel front and rear, and 3000 mAh large battery
…”
Wang Yi looked at these configurations and shook his head: "The resolution of 720P is not good. Pull your hips. Contact Sharp and go directly to 1080P!"
"What?" Zhu Changlin was startled: "Chairman, this year's 720P resolution is already the highest among mobile phones!"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "The symbol of Xingyi Technology is
!”
"In a word, we, Xingyi Technology, will lead the entire industry and be the benchmark in the mobile phone industry. Others, whether it is Apple, Samsung, or Nokia HTC, can only follow us in Handan!"
"Yes!" Zhu Changlin nodded quickly.
Wang Yi continued: "The screen resolution has been upgraded to 1080P, and the lenses must also be upgraded. The front lens is still 8 million pixels, and the rear lens has been upgraded to 13 million pixels!"
In a word, increase the weight across the board.
Zhu Changlin was stunned: "The screen and lens have been fully upgraded. Does it need to be such a big step?"
Wang Yi nodded: "The second generation of Xingyi cannot be like the first generation of Xingyi, starting at 3299. On the contrary, the second generation of Xingyi is also positioned as a high-end, starting at 4999, or even 5299!"
In order to boost sales, expand scale and gain popularity, Xingyi Generation had to sell at a low price, only selling for 3299.
However, with the hot sales of xphone 1 and xphone 1pro, Xingyi mobile phone brand has become a high-end brand, and it can no longer lower its price.
On the contrary, Xingyi mobile phones will only remain high-end in the future!
A few years later, it was normal for the digital series to start at 5,999 and the pro series to start at 9,999.
As for the mid- to low-end series, will Wang Yi give up?
Of course not, there are new mid- to low-end brands for the mid- to low-end series.
I just haven't decided on a name yet.
The name of Qingyou mobile phone is not good, and the name of Meiyou mobile phone is even worse. It will easily lower the quality of Meiyou.
Have to start a new one.
But don't get involved with Xingyi to prevent lowering the quality of Xingyi mobile phones.
From now on, Xingyi Mobile will only have one phone with a 3,000-speed range, which is the Xphone 1, and the others will start with a 5,000-speed range!
"As for the screen size and battery..." Wang Yi thought for a while: "Well, let's make two versions of Xingyi II at once, a 5-inch standard version with a 3000 mAh anti-freeze battery. A 0-inch plus version.
3500 mAh anti-freeze large battery.”
"That's good, one big and one small, let the user choose." Zhu Changlin wrote down one by one.
Wang Yi started to think about it: "The screen is upgraded to 1080P, the rear lens is upgraded to 13 million pixels, plus the plus version screen size, the battery is upgraded... but it is not enough. Compared with the xphone 1pro, the upgrade is limited."
Zhu Changlin nodded: "After all, the xphone 1pro's quad-core processor, 2G storage, first 8 million, split screen, beautification algorithm, etc. are all greatly upgraded."
Wang Yi fell into deep thought and continued: "Then let's add one more thing, fast charging! Our self-developed power management chip and fast charging chip by Xingyi Semiconductor support 10W fast charging, which is twice that of our friends. This can be regarded as a big
Selling point!”
Zhu Changlin was overjoyed: "The charging speed is twice as fast, the battery is larger, and we say goodbye to battery life anxiety. There is no problem at all."
Wang Yi changed the subject: "By the way, how are the arrangements for the tape-out of the three chips going?"
"We contacted TSMC at the end of last month, and the negotiations were completed. The tape-out will be on the 8th. Currently, George and his people have gone to TSMC."
"On the 8th? The day when the third generation of iapd was released?" Wang Yi became interested:
"It's a good day, and I look forward to the successful tape-out. Once the tape-out is successful, smart home SOC chips, power management chips, and fast charging chips can be fully mass-produced. The next generation of mobile phones can use Xingyi Technology's own power management chips and fast charging chips.
It’s time to recharge the chip.”
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it!" Zhu Changlin was extremely excited.
What could be more exciting than using a self-developed chip?
Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "Look at how useless you are, it's just a power management chip and a fast charging chip, not a processor chip."
"Haha, sooner or later we will use our self-developed processor chips!" Zhu Changlin said with a smile.
Wang Yi nodded: "This is true, you can use the Xingyi 2nd generation pro next spring!"
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Zhu Changlin was in a good mood.
Wang Yi changed the subject: "We can accelerate the creation of the smart home division, starting with research and development. Once the smart home SOC chip is successfully taped out and mass production begins, subsequent smart homes can be mass produced."
Zhu Changlin nodded: "Okay, the smart home department is already recruiting people. But what is the first smart product we release?"
"AI voice speaker!" Wang Yi said without hesitation: "This is the easiest for us."
In fact, Xiaomi’s Xiaoai classmate is not easy and the experience is not good.
First of all, Xiaomi has no music content, so it has to use the resources of QQ Music to send money to Goose Factory.
Second, Xiaomi’s AI is not very good. Baidu used to provide technical support for the answers to AI questions and answers, and they were very accurate, but they needed to send money to Baidu. Later, the cooperation was terminated, and Xiao Ai became less smart...
Ask Siri many questions, and Wen Xin can answer them perfectly in one sentence. Ask Xiao Ai like "I don't know this question yet..."
Xingyi Technology is completely different.
The content, with Xingyi Music, can completely close the loop internally.
The emergence of Xingyi AI Speaker can rapidly increase the number of members and market share of Xingyi Music, overtaking competitors such as QQ Music, NetEase Cloud, and Kugou.
There is no need to buy third-party technical services for Q&A. Xingyi Technology has a Xiaoi robot that surpasses Siri and is much better than Baidu today.
It can be said that Xingyi Technology’s existing resources would be a waste if it does not develop AI speakers.
Wang Yi continued: "AI speakers are developed into three models at once. A standard version for mass production. A pro version for high-end products. And then we will make a professional AI soundbar that will be directly linked to Xingyi TV!"
"Yes!" Zhu Changlin wrote down again.
After making these arrangements, Wang Yi left the mobile phone department.
The next thing is left to Zhu Changlin.
And he is waiting for the chip tape-out results.
Two days later, at two o'clock in the morning on March 8, Wang Yi was sleeping soundly while pressing Lin Shu's big white rabbit.
Apple held its spring new product launch event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
Released "The New iPad" (a brand new tablet), which is the third generation of iPad, and Cook personally hosted the press conference.
Media gathered at the scene, and many Xia Guoguo fans stayed up late to watch.
With Xingyi Tablet X1 and X1pro in front, everyone is curious about what Apple’s new tablet will look like.
Is it the same garbage as the second generation, or is it a substantial upgrade, even surpassing the Xingyi Tablet? This is so curious!
Many users have even made up their mind to see if the third generation of iPad has any surprises.
If there are not enough surprises, just go for the Xingyi Tablet!
