Ironically, the core upgrades of mobile phones are not due to mobile phone manufacturers. On the contrary, most of them are due to breakthroughs in the supply chain.

This is true whether it is Apple or HTC, they are both solution integrators.

Even many breakthroughs in the current xphone 2 are the same.

But the difference is that Wang Yi will gradually develop many core functions by himself and gradually get rid of breakthroughs in the supply chain.

For example, x-charge fast charging, fast charging chip C1, and power management chip P1 are all self-developed by Xingyi Technology.

Next, Wang Yi will also develop more and better core technologies and accessories.

Such as fingerprint unlocking.

Sliding fingerprint unlocking has appeared a few years ago, but it is troublesome to operate and requires rubbing. Not to mention the trouble, the accuracy is also low.

Therefore, it is considered a failed update and has been abandoned by major brands in recent years. It is flashy and unrealistic.

Until the iPhone 5s was released in September next year, it adopted press-type fingerprint unlocking, which completely triggered the craze of press-type fingerprint unlocking.

Over the years, press-type fingerprint unlocking has become a standard feature of flagship mobile phones.

It was not until many years later that 3D structured light facial recognition and ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint unlocking appeared, which gradually put an end to push-type fingerprint unlocking.

This year’s iPhone 5 will definitely be beaten by the Xphone 2.

But if next year’s iPhone 5S comes with press-type fingerprint unlocking, this feature might be able to make a comeback.

After all, even a trivial update can make Apple proud.

Like Smart Island, Meizu had something similar in its previous life a few years ago, but no one paid much attention to it. Until Apple made it, it became an epoch-making innovation.

Wang Yi didn't even look at it.

Nowadays, press-type fingerprint unlocking is considered an epoch-making upgrade. If the iPhone 5S is released first, it will definitely have a fatal impact on Xingyi mobile phones.

This is not a good thing.

Xingyi Technology must plan ahead and strive to develop push-type fingerprint unlocking and release it in advance.

In this case, nothing will happen to Apple.

In everything, the first person to eat the crab will make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi dialed Zhu Changlin's phone number:

"Lao Zhu, Xphone 2 sales this month are expected to exceed 15 million, breaking the record, which is very good. But we also have to reserve next-generation technology."

"Next generation technology? Is it an advanced technology similar to fast charging?" Zhu Changlin was very curious.

"Similar, but it's not fast charging technology, but fingerprint recognition, push-type fingerprint recognition!" Wang Yidao.

The xphone 2 has 10W fast charging, 1080P, and 13 million pixels... There is not much room left for the xphone 2pro to upgrade.

Wang Yi must show off his skills!

However, 10-watt fast charging is already far ahead. Naturally, next year’s xphone 2pro cannot be upgraded. It will not be too late to continue upgrading until the xphone 4.

Wang Yi remembers that in his previous life, it was not until Xiaomi 5 in 2016 that 18-watt fast charging was available.

Therefore, Wang Yi can also slow down the fast charging and upgrade, be precise with his sword skills, stay first, and develop slowly.

The core of the upgrade of xphone 2pro depends on fingerprint unlocking and push-type fingerprint unlocking.

"Press fingerprint unlock..." Zhu Changlin understood Wang Yi's thoughts: "Chairman, if this is the case, our small circle breathing light will be gone!"

Wang Yi smiled: "If you have to do it, you have to do it. There is no way around it. With the emergence of push-type fingerprint unlocking, Xingyi mobile phones can bid farewell to the small circle breathing light. Of course, it can be transferred to the next generation of unbounded mobile phones."

"Okay, press-type fingerprint unlocking can integrate X-back interaction." Zhu Changlin said quietly: "It is still a button, tap to go back to the previous level, long press to return to the desktop, swipe up to wake up the background, swipe down to close the application..."

"That's right, that's it! This way, old users won't be uncomfortable and there won't be too high learning costs." Wang Yida said.

A consistent interaction and design language is very important for a mobile phone brand.

This is the case with Apple and Meizu. Even if you cover up the logo, you can still see the brand.

But it’s hard to say for Xiaomi. I always feel that the new generation has nothing to do with the previous generation.

"Lao Zhu, please gather talents, recruit some more, and establish a fingerprint recognition R&D experimental center as soon as possible to complete the push-type fingerprint unlocking."

Wang Yidao: "Wait until the push-type fingerprint unlocking is completed, and then do fingerprint payment. These are the core functions of Xingyi mobile phones in the future!"

Today, Changchao has more than 300 million users and is expected to exceed 400 million before New Year’s Day.

Wait until the red envelope function is launched before the Spring Festival, and strive to hit the 500 million mark!

By then, Changchao scan code payment and fingerprint payment will be available online.

"Okay, Chairman, leave it to me and I will make arrangements right away." Zhu Changlin responded.

"I will send you the relevant design requirements and other information. Remember, the speed must be fast. The next generation iPhone will also have fingerprint unlocking." Wang Yidao: "They acquired AuthenTec, a company that makes fingerprint identification technology."

AuthenTec is a biotechnology company that has developed push-type fingerprint recognition technology and has demonstrated it to major customers such as Samsung, LG, Nokia, Fujifilm, and Apple.

But all major customers thought it was similar to sliding fingerprint unlocking and was meaningless, so they all gave up.

Only Apple saw the difference and paid $350 million to acquire the company in 2012.

With AuthenTec's fingerprint recognition technology, the 2013 iPhone 5S successfully launched push-type fingerprint recognition, opening a new era.

Samsung and LG both regretted this, but it was too late.

However, Apple did not make much money from this transaction.

After all, within a few years, Apple completely abandoned fingerprint recognition and entered the era of face recognition.

The core talents of AuthenTec have also been kicked out, which seems to be a waste of time.

But there is no way, outdated technology is destined to be meaningless, and capital is the most ruthless.

Similarly, press-type fingerprints are just a transitional technology for Wang Yi.

The final destination is either 3D structured light face recognition or ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint technology.

However, the large forehead with 3D structured light is a problem, and it is difficult for Apple to get rid of the notch screen.

On the contrary, ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint unlocking is more perfect.

There is no way, Liu Haiping is really ugly, Wang Yi in his previous life often complained about it.

But this will only take a few years and develop from generation to generation.

Originally, Wang Yi planned to acquire a company that made fingerprints, and Goodix Technology was pretty good.

But unfortunately, Goodix Technology is still in research and development these days, and it was not until 2014 that it launched a push-type fingerprint sensor.

Wang Yi simply couldn't wait until that time, so he had no choice but to do it himself.

Fortunately, the push-type fingerprint recognition technology is not too difficult.

Of course, as the first generation of push-type fingerprint recognition, it is considered successful as long as it is done, and it does not need to be particularly powerful.

But if you want to apply for fingerprint payment, you have to have high and strict requirements, otherwise big problems will easily occur.

However, the mobile phone cutting-edge technology research and development center can be further developed.

Previously, there was only a beauty camera R&D center responsible for developing and continuously upgrading beautification algorithms.

The chip tuning center is responsible for chip tuning so that the chip can exert more powerful performance.

The heat dissipation R&D center, the heat dissipation of several generations of mobile phones comes from this department.

Fast charging R&D center, 10-watt fast charging is a solution developed by this department in conjunction with Xingyi Semiconductor, and is currently developing the next generation of 18-watt fast charging technology.

Now a fingerprint R&D center has been established to start the research and development of push-type fingerprints.

In the future, more R&D centers can be established to develop other technologies.

And other chips, such as imaging chips, HIFI chips, signal enhancement chips, etc...

All can be laid out gradually, provided that it does not affect the research and development of mobile phone SOC chips.

After arranging fingerprint research and development, Wang Yi came to Wujie Mobile Headquarters.

Only then did Wujie Technology Park approve that Wujie Mobile's headquarters, like Xingyi Technology's Jeju headquarters, would temporarily be located in Meiyou Technology Park, occupying a 26-story office building.

"Chairman, you are here." Wu Zhaowei, the person in charge of Wujie Mobile, greeted him with a smile.

Wu Zhaowei was the former R&D manager of Motorola, but as a Xia native, he had been squeezed out by white-skinned senior executives. He simply jumped ship to Xingyi Technology and was appointed by Wang Yi as the head of Unbounded Mobile.

"Let me see how the development of Unbounded Mobile Phone is going?" Wang Yixiao said.

"Chairman, the Unbounded Mobile phone is progressing smoothly. The key is the chip. The other designs have been perfected, and only the final chip is left. After getting the Kunpeng 500, no, Kunpeng 700 chip, the Unbounded Mobile phone can start making prototypes."

Wang Yi nodded: "Very good, the chip is expected to be tape-out next month."

"That's no problem. We will make a prototype for testing before the end of next month. It will be tested for two months in October and November. If there are no problems, it will be officially mass-produced in December."

"Okay, then Unbounded Mobile Phone will be mass-produced in December and released on New Year's Day!"

There is absolutely no problem with this progress.

Wang Yi took another look at everyone's research and development progress, and was overall very satisfied.

Although the Wujie mobile phone cannot keep up with the Xingyi mobile phone, it does not have such high configuration and quality. After all, it is a thousand yuan phone.
