Chapter 690 Popular because of Changtian Technology
The negotiations between HTC and Changtian Technology were very pleasant.
It only took half a day to finalize the agreement.
On the one hand, it is because HTC really needs carbon crystal storage to improve the quality and heritage of its products.
On the other hand, the contract signed by both parties this time does not involve a large amount, only 2 million dollars in total.
So even if the purchased carbon crystal storage cannot be used or the effect is not good, it doesn't matter.
It was originally a contract of trial and error.
Changtian Technology has it in stock here.
So on the second day after the contract was signed, HTC staff were directly in Nagasawa and flew to the Wanwan area with the corresponding products.
Because the amount involved in the contract was very small, and the trip of HTC executives to Nagasawa this time was a secret operation, it was not known to the outside world at all, and no media reported it.
After Zhou Ming and others returned to the headquarters in Wanwan area.
A meeting was held immediately to prepare to utilize the advanced technology of Changtian Technology.
HTC is currently preparing to release its flagship mobile phone of the year, which is also the HTCD2 mobile phone that HTC has been preparing for a long time.
It is still uncertain what system this phone currently uses.
Because HTC currently has authorized wp7 and W8 systems, as well as Android systems.
Initially, this phone was prepared to be equipped with Microsoft's WM system.
But this system was also abandoned by Microsoft.
This makes HTC very passive.
In fact, we can’t blame HTC for not being able to make a choice.
Because at this time, HTC does not know which of the systems in its hands can stand out and become the best choice for consumers, and which ones will be abandoned by history.
Moreover, the current experience of using the Android system is not good, and it often freezes.
So even if HTC uses Android first, it doesn't dare to put all its eggs in one basket.
This meeting is to discuss whether to use Changtian Technology’s hardware?
If Changtian Technology’s hardware is used, which phone should it be placed on?
Some people say to continue using the WM system, after all, the developer of this system is Microsoft.
Moreover, Microsoft has absolute hegemony on PC systems (except for Xia Guo).
Therefore, the mobile operating system made by Microsoft should be favored by consumers.
Using this system on Changtian Technology's hardware should have a bonus effect.
But Zhou Ming kept thinking about what Wang Xiang said.
Wang Xiang said that Chen Xiao always believed that the Android system would definitely bring glory to HTC.
Chen Xiao didn't just say this casually.
If Chen Xiao had just said it casually, it would have been impossible for Changtian Technology to develop from a small, workshop-like company to a global giant.
Zhou Ming said: "I recommend using the Android system. Our D2 mobile phone can be equipped with the Android system."
"And the memory and storage in our hands are only 100,000 pieces each, and we will use these 100,000 pieces as the Android system."
"Even if you fail, treat it as a lesson learned."
After Zhou Ming's speech, it was still very meaningful.
However, many senior officials still said.
"The D2 mobile phone is our flagship phone this year at HTC, and it is also our flagship phone."
"Although the Android system has occupied a certain share of the market, it has too many bad reviews."
"After using the mobile phone for a long time, it will freeze."
"The D2 mobile phone we designed uses Qualcomm's chips and Samsung's RAM and ROM."
"The ROM has reached 512m."
"Even so, we are not confident that there will be no lag after installing the Android system."
"We are now replacing the RAM with 256 megabytes of carbon crystal memory from Changtian Technology, and we also have to run the Android system. Won't this make the phone even more laggy?"
Zhou Ming thinks what everyone said makes sense.
But isn’t the reason why human beings progress is because they do those incomprehensible things?
Zhou Ming finally made up his mind and said: "I still insist on using 100,000 mobile phones to make the Android system, equipped with Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage. Let's try the effect before talking about it."
"If the effect is not good or successful, then the loss of 2 million meters will be borne by me, and I will explain to the company!"
The words have been said to this extent, and other senior officials have agreed.
To put it simply, it is a matter of 2 million meters.
For HTC, which is at its peak, the cost of such mistakes is still affordable.
Zhou Ming immediately reported the negotiations with Changtian Technology and the performance of the relevant hardware purchased to HTC’s headquarters.
He also expressed the hope that these hardware from Changtian Technology will be installed on HTCD2 mobile phones, and this batch of mobile phones will be equipped with Android system.
In the report, Zhou Ming explained the reasons in detail.
Regarding the description of the Android system, Zhou Ming said: "The Android system currently has certain limitations, but its system model is destined to have great development potential, be all-inclusive, and promote the development of mobile applications..."
This sentence convinced HTC's top management.
Even if it's wrong, it's still a $2 million problem.
Soon, HTC will install this batch of hardware purchased from Changtian Technology on its own D2 mobile phone.
And reinstall the Android system for this batch of mobile phones.
Early June.
An early batch of D2 phones were produced by HTC.
This batch of D2 mobile phones uses carbon crystal storage from Changtian Technology and is equipped with the Android system.
At present, HTC's main markets are the United States and the Wanwan region.
100,000 mobile phones is neither too much nor too little.
So HTC decided to divide this batch of phones into two parts.
Part 1 is sold in the US market.
The second part is sold in the Bay Area.
Zhou Ming was the first person to get the mobile phone.
He conducted a simple test on the phone.
The content of the test is nothing more than the speed of turning on and off the phone and entering applications, as well as the ability to open multiple applications without lag on the phone.
To be honest, Zhou Ming didn't have any confidence in his heart.
After all, the phone configuration in hand is 256 MB of RAM and 4GB of ROM.
The storage is definitely much larger than previously designed, but the memory is an order of magnitude less.
In order to make the test results more convincing.
Zhou Ming has two mobile phones in his hands.
One is equipped with carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage from Changtian Technology.
The other one is just equipped with Samsung's RAM and ROM.
Both are powered by the Android operating system.
As far as RAM is concerned, the capacity of Samsung RAM is 512 MB.
Changtian Technology’s is only 256m
Testing begins.
Zhou Ming opened the chat software, and the results surprised him.
Equipped with Changtian Technology and carbon crystal storage, this mobile phone has no lag.
Although the one equipped with Samsung hardware has no lag, the speed of opening the software is obviously slower than that of Changtian Technology.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ming did not close the chat software, but put it in the background.
Then opened the browser again.
Changtian Technology's one also has no lag, and the response speed is pretty good.
The one equipped with Samsung hardware is significantly slower.
This week Ming was a little surprised.
Obviously Samsung's 512 MB memory is larger than Changtian Technology's 256 MB.
Why is it that Changtian Technology's is not lagging, while Samsung's is a little slower?
The Android system is not very mature at the moment.
After you push the app to the background, the app will still run in the background.
This will cause the phone's memory to be occupied.
According to the current Android optimization level.
If you put three or four apps in the background, your phone will obviously feel stuck.
When Zhou Ming placed the fourth application in the background.
This phone equipped with Samsung hardware has completely crashed.
The entire desktop became unresponsive.
No matter whether I click the return key or the desktop button, the screen is still stuck on the desktop screen.
With no other choice, Zhou Ming had no choice but to restart his phone.
This is also where Android is very unfriendly.
After all, only young people can play with their mobile phones so much. They know that if there are too many applications, they should delete the background applications and clean the memory regularly.
But for the elderly.
It is very painful to use an Android phone. Elderly people do not know how to play with mobile phones. They are likely to forget to close the application after opening it, leaving the application to continue running in the background.
This will cause considerable lag on the phone, and will also seriously affect Android's reputation.
The one equipped with Changtian Technology hardware also has 4 applications hidden in the background.
Something Zhou Ming didn't expect happened.
Even with 4 apps in the background, the phone lags slightly, but it doesn't freeze.
Moreover, when Zhou Ming opened the fifth application, the fifth application could still be used relatively smoothly.
This time Zhou Ming completely believed that Changtian Technology's technology was absolutely awesome.
256 MB of carbon crystal memory is actually more useful than 512 MB of ordinary memory.
Zhou Ming feels that using Changtian Technology’s carbon crystal storage is definitely a wise choice.
Zhou Ming even had some expectations.
Changtian Technology's hardware may really be able to save Android's reputation and let more consumers know and use Android.
The advance version of HTCd2 mobile phone is officially released.
When consumers in the United States and the Gulf region learned that this HTC phone actually uses the Android system.
Everyone felt very surprised.
Because the hardware configuration of the D2 phone is definitely that of a flagship phone.
Flagship phones must use mature systems.
The Android system has just been born and has always been one of HTC's many systems.
It is not a wise choice to install a flagship phone with an immature Android system.
So when HTC announced the relevant news, it immediately received a lot of criticism.
"The Android system is fine for early adopters, but if you really want to use it, it will be a headache."
"I heard that this time HTC released a total of 100,000 d2 mobile phones, all of which are Android systems. There is no Symbian and no M. Is HTC going to commit suicide this time?"
This time HTC released its flagship mobile phone, which also attracted the attention of many competitors.
Especially Nokia, Samsung and Apple.
The HTC stolen by Nokia will not compete with itself.
Because HTC's size is too small, it's not something to be afraid of.
On the contrary, Jobs was very interested in HTC's new mobile phone.
When Jobs learned that HTC’s new mobile phone was equipped with carbon crystal storage from Changtian Technology.
Even more interested.
Jobs also asked his assistants to find ways to get a mobile phone from the operator to try it out.
The media and the public are complaining, but after all, there are still many consumers who are trying new things.
Guterres, a columnist for an American Technology Times, was the first to get HTC's D2 mobile phone from the operator.
As a writer for technology magazines and online columns.
Gutierrez needs to buy a lot of cell phones.
From Nokia to Samsung to Motorola and Apple.
Gutierrez will be the first to buy it.
After getting the phone, Gutierrez didn't have much hope.
Because a few months ago, he had just reviewed HTC's Android phone.
The situation is not very good.
Although HTC's Android phones have given consumers a lot of imagination, they also leave a lot of room for the future.
But the mobile phone is not smooth to use, and there is a clear gap compared to the Symbian system.
Gutierrez, who originally had no hope, started testing.
The test results stunned Gutierrez.
This Android phone is very smooth to use.
In addition, Android phones are more open than Symbian phones, and there are many interesting applications and mini-games.
So compare it like this.
Gutierrez feels that the Nokia phone in his hand is an antique from the last century.
On this phone, Gutierrez hardly felt the lag of Android phones (after all, not every user has to put a large number of applications in the background).
Compared with Apple's iOS, each has its own merits.
But Gutierrez is really amazed at what Android can do.
Gutierrez tested the phone's functions and applications one by one, and spent three days writing a detailed test report.
Before the test report was officially released, many American consumers also found that the new mobile phone released by HTC seemed to be very good.
It fully utilizes the advantages of Android and avoids the shortcomings of Android lagging.
Seemingly overnight.
HTC's D2 mobile phone has become a best-seller in the United States.
All 50,000 mobile phones released in the United States were sold out within two days.
This phenomenon surprised American operators.
The operator quickly called HTC's headquarters, hoping that HTC would replenish the stock as soon as possible.
Major media and magazines in the United States are frantically reporting on the situation of the HTCD2 mobile phone.
Including reviews, sales, and consumer feedback, etc.
Almost all actions are positive.
Zhou Ming found the information from the United States a bit unbelievable.
HTC is actually able to develop phenomenal products.
HTC's headquarters is also filled with excitement.
"We must pursue the victory and replenish supplies with the United States as soon as possible!"
"In this way, the Android system still has a lot of room for development. As long as the card problem can be solved, it will be favored by consumers."
"Of course, the playability and scalability of the Android system are much greater than those of this system. The two are not on the same level at all."
Some HTC executives even feel that HTC may have a chance to surpass Nokia and become the global mobile phone overlord.
After all, this time their attempt was successful.
At the same time, the media throughout the Bay Area was excited.
