Chapter 111 Seven Major Upgrades

This terrifying download speed is simply breathtaking. It is still sanctioned by 2G. Stardust users who are in dire straits every day simply cannot believe their eyes. When will mobile data be able to achieve this speed?

Chen Zifan continued: "If the emergence of 3G only makes mobile data 'usable', the emergence of 4G is to make mobile data 'easy to use'. Its maximum transmission rate per second can reach 10MB/second!

Under such a terrifying transmission rate, Stardust 3+ and Stardust OS will not only be a mobile phone, but also a smart operating system. They will serve as the core to integrate tablets, laptops, cars, home appliances...

Wait for all kinds of electronic products to be connected! And this is 4G communication! This is the ‘Internet of Everything’!”

The audience, media, and major mobile phone manufacturers finally understood why Stardust Technology named the theme of this Stardust conference "Internet of Everything" because 4G, Stardust 3+, and Stardust OS are integrated.

With these three things, Stardust Technology can develop horizontally and derive countless possibilities, such as tablet computers, smart watches, new energy vehicles... these are just a small part, and more products will be added.

In addition, the popularization of 4G networks can also allow China to enter the era of mobile payment, but these will take a long time to popularize and develop.

Chen Zifan understood that 3G was not easy to use and far from meeting his requirements, so he did not wait for the end of the 3G era step by step. Instead, he chose to attack in advance and transform Haicheng into the world's first 4G city.

Stardust 3+, as a smartphone that has surpassed the present in all aspects and is facing the future, is not for routine replacement. According to Chen Zifan's plan, the launch of Stardust 4 will be delayed by at least one year.

But other people don’t know this. They only know that Stardust 3+ has brought them 4G, or... Stardust Technology has brought them 4G and more powerful smartphones that subvert their imagination and perception.

However, Chen Zifan’s next words directly poured cold water on some of the audience: “Currently, 4G is only being piloted in one city, Haicheng, which means that Stardust 3+ users in Haicheng can receive 4G signals.

Stardust 3+ users in other cities can only receive 3G signals... But there is no need to worry. After Haicheng completes the 4G pilot, 4G signals will be gradually popularized in major cities within five years..."

As soon as Chen Zifan finished speaking, the audience could no longer control it and started talking. Chen Zifan made several quiet gestures in succession, but it didn't work. There was nothing they could do, the news was really suffocating.

Compared with the excitement of the locals in Haicheng, the audience in other cities only felt depressed and unhappy:

"I'm not convinced! Why is this happening!"

"It's also expected... Hey! Development has to come first, first served. With 4G in Haicheng, I'm afraid there will be a period of dividends in the future."

"Why Haicheng? Why coastal areas? When can we see our coal-rich province! Our economic development cannot keep up!"

"No, Stardust 3+ is my dream mobile phone! But there is no 4G... Forget it, if there is no 4G, there will be no 4G. 3G is pretty fast, so it doesn't mean it can't be used."

"What else can we do? Just wait! After the 4G trial in Haicheng is completed, the second batch may be their turn!"

"That's it. I'm afraid my remote mountain valley won't be able to use the 4G network in three to five years."

"With Stardust Technology, Haicheng may be able to directly advance to the ranks of first-tier cities..."

"Stardust Technology is synonymous with Haicheng!"

Hearing someone say this, some older Haicheng locals suddenly became unhappy and retorted:

"Stardust Technology cannot represent Haicheng! We have Fortune 500 companies! We have Haier Brothers!"

A young Haicheng native said:

"But...Haier brothers didn't bring us 4G! They didn't bring us smartphones!"

"Please, Stardust Technology and Haier Brothers are both the pride of Haicheng! Why can't the two coexist? Why must only one remain?"

"Yes, yes! Both of them are the pride of our Haicheng! But I am more optimistic about the future of Stardust Technology!"

"me too!"

"..."

The discussion in the audience lasted for nearly 5 minutes before finally calming down a little. Chen Zifan also took this opportunity to continue the press conference:

"In fact, there is no need to worry too much. With the rapid development of technology today, we will soon enter the real 4G era. Everyone can enjoy the convenience and fun brought by 4G networks and 4G mobile phones!"

Having said that, when 4G base stations are not built at their doorstep, what else can they do besides envying Haicheng for giving priority to piloting 4G?

Regarding 4G communications, the 4G chip Changhe 3 matter has come to an end for the time being. This is only temporary. It is foreseeable that after the Stardust conference is over, a new craze will form with Haicheng as the center.

After the audience calmed down, Chen Zifan began to introduce the peripheral configuration of Stardust 3+:

"We can see that the size of Stardust 3+ is a whole circle larger than Stardust 3, because the front of Stardust 3+ uses a 6.4-inch OLED screen, which we agree is the 'best size'

!

No matter how small it is, it will look delicate, just like Stardust 3. No matter how big it is, it will be too big, and our grip will be very bad. But if it is like now... I can comfortably hold Stardust 3+ with one hand to do anything.

matter!"

Chen Zifan gave a brief demonstration. In fact, 6.4 inches is a popular size and can be easily grasped by people with large or small hands. Compared with Stardust 3, Stardust 3+ has a larger screen and a better experience.

Later, some Android manufacturers liked to use 6.6- and 6.7-inch screens, and higher-end flagship phones even occasionally used 6.8- and 7.2-inch screens.

But such products are destined not to be mainstream, and the 6.4-inch screen size is already considered large in this era, except for a certain domestic mobile phone brand Da Cola that focuses on square large-size screens...

Some of their senior executives were at the Stardust press conference, taking photos with a square-shaped mobile phone. Strangely enough, quite a few people bought it.

Compared with Stardust 3, the screen size of Stardust 3+ is simply enlarged and the brightness is increased. There is no change in the basic configuration, but an optical fingerprint sensor is built under the screen, and under-screen fingerprint recognition is added.

This is also the focus of many people's attention. After all, the effect shown in the promotional video just now is really amazing. If he wants to save costs, Chen Zifan can definitely use a physical fingerprint module.

For example, there is a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, and the power button has an integrated fingerprint sensor... But the back cover of the Stardust 3+ is made of two materials: one is ceramic and the other is ebony. If a rear-mounted fingerprint is made, it will directly destroy the overall texture.

Why not use a power-integrated fingerprint instead of a side fingerprint? The former is not easy to use and will conflict with the function of the power button. The latter will directly interrupt the continuation of the middle frame of Stardust 3+ and form a depression on the right side.

In the end, Chen Zifan gave up these plans and chose the more difficult under-screen optical fingerprint. Its level is roughly equivalent to future short-focus fingerprints. The recognition rate cannot be 100%, and the recognition efficiency is not very fast.

A lot of repetitive work is also required when recording fingerprints, and the efficiency is far less than that of ultrasonic fingerprints.

But for now, Stardust 3+ is still the first product in the world that truly integrates fingerprint recognition into a smartphone. Chen Zifan gave a simple demonstration and the audience understood how to use it.

"Oh~ it looks pretty simple!"

"Then why not use facial recognition directly? I feel that facial recognition will be more efficient!"

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more choice?”

"..."

Facial recognition has its limitations. For example, it is difficult to complete recognition in a dark environment. The limitations of fingerprint recognition are relatively smaller, but it cannot be recognized when wearing gloves or having foreign objects on your fingers.

It is worth mentioning that the animation of Stardust 3+’s fingerprint recognition entering the desktop is very smooth, which is also the long-standing advantage of Stardust OS. Animations that are more in line with the intuitive experience can often bring a better use experience.

This is true for fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and password unlocking. Unfortunately, after experiencing the ups and downs of 4G, the audience at the scene has become a little less sensitive to these and has entered a short-term sage mode.

Stardust Technology even took out the 4G chip. Next, even if Chen Zifan took out a laser sword from his trouser pocket, it would not be unacceptable. After a brief applause, they allowed Chen Zifan to continue the introduction:

"As a fully advanced version of Stardust 3, the imaging system of Stardust 3+ has also been greatly upgraded. For the first time, we used dual rear cameras, both with 13 million pixels, and divided them into main cameras, long-term cameras

Focus lens.

Needless to say, the role of the main camera is natural. It can be used to take photos and videos of various complex daily scenes. Higher pixels bring clearer pictures. Please see the comparison photos on the big screen!"

Comparing 13 million pixels to 5 million pixels, it is a crushing level of existence, and the picture precision is not at the same level. As for why a 13 million pixel lens is used... it has something to do with Nokia.

Nokia originally planned to launch an imaging flagship, using a 13-megapixel camera. However, the offensive of smartphones was too fierce, and they were forced to abandon this plan, and were eventually successfully intercepted by Stardust Technology.

If you look closely, you can see that the dual-camera module on the Stardust 3+ is arranged vertically in the upper left corner. The lens is also very large. The middle between the lens and the back cover is made of metal + glass.

The two lenses are embedded in the module one above the other, with a metal dividing line in the center. There is a circular flash on the right side of the main camera lens, and a circular sensor on the right side of the telephoto lens.

After a brief pause, Chen Zifan continued:

"The function of the telephoto lens is to support 5x optical zoom and assist the main camera during the shooting process. The 5x optical zoom allows us to see further, and the auxiliary function can make the picture clearer..."

Although both have 13 million pixels, the sensor sizes of the main camera and telephoto are different. The resolution of the main camera is stronger. As the telephoto is a lens that is not used much in daily life, there is no need for a larger sensor.

At the same time, the two cameras are not separate entities, but complement each other. If one of the lenses is blocked during the photo taking process, the picture captured will definitely be inferior to the one that is not blocked.

This requires coordinated mobilization of the two cameras in terms of algorithms. Thanks to optical image stabilization, the processor can focus more computing power on the picture itself.

Many people think that games put the greatest test on chip performance, but in fact the biggest test on chip performance is video recording. Some mobile phones known as "high-end flagship" can even hardly record videos for more than 15 minutes.

Stardust 3+ is no exception. It cannot even record 1080p+60 frames for more than 3 minutes. In order to prevent a poor experience caused by overheating of the chip, this function is limited to 2 minutes.

However, it is impossible for Chen Zifan to introduce the shortcomings of Stardust 3+ here. Compared with Stardust 2, the 1080p+60 frame video of Stardust 3 is also greatly improved:

“When it comes to shooting videos, Stardust 3+ supports 1080p+60 frames shooting mode!”

After a brief comparison, Chen Zifan then introduced the front camera of Stardust 3+: "The front camera of Stardust 3+ uses an 8-megapixel lens and supports a variety of Selfie modes..."

The so-called multiple selfie modes are just different beautification functions, which directly saves the time of P-picture. Chen Zifan is still aware of selfies, knowing that most people do not like "what you see is what you get".

It's ugly enough in reality. Even the mirror sellers know that making a concave arc can make people look thinner, let alone taking selfies with a mobile phone lens?

"Other upgrades for Stardust 3+ include..."

In comparison, Stardust 3+ has seven major improvements over Stardust 3: 4G high-performance chip, imaging system, optical fingerprint, screen size, back cover technology, slightly curved tempered glass, and large-size linear motor.

Of course, the most important improvement is the price.

With just a 4G high-performance chip Changhe 3, people understand that the price of Stardust 3+ cannot be cheap.

But it’s not time to announce the price yet, because there are three new products after Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, so the audience is not in a hurry and is waiting for Chen Zifan’s introduction:

"Next, we will bring you two updated products, which are: Stardust Tablet 2, Stardust second-generation Bluetooth headset..."

The improvements of Stardust Tablet 2 are not big, except that the chip has been upgraded to Dimensity 300, a new 5MP front camera has been added, and 30W fast charging has been upgraded. The rest of the basic configuration is exactly the same as that of Stardust Tablet.

The upgrading of this type of product is essentially equivalent to a laptop computer. After a set of molds is released, the CPU and graphics card are upgraded, and a few more matryoshka machines can cover multiple price ranges from top to bottom.

Occasionally changing the mold and replacing it with a better screen is equivalent to a major upgrade. Compared with the previous generation, the upgrade of Stardust Tablet 2 is indeed not big, but the second generation of Stardust Bluetooth headset has upgraded a very important function.
