Chapter 1293 – smartphone
Feng Yu had planned to return to China after the match but changed his plans and remained in New York.
The Wind and Rain Mobile will introduce a new product that is different from all its previous products. It is a smartphone!
What is a smartphone? It is similar to a PC, with its operating system, stronger hardware capabilities, and compatible third-party programs. Most importantly, it has internet access!
This phone has a touchscreen display. Wind and Rain Electronics had successfully upgraded their touchscreen technologies to world-class standards, and it does not have the issues of being overly sensitive or insensitive.
This smartphone is in bar shape but cos along with a transparent cover. They had no choice as the phone and screen are extrely fragile now.
They need to have a solution to protect the screen. Also, this touchscreen phone has a keypad, and it is big and bulky.
In 1993, IBM developed a smartphone. But it was only a concept phone and is bad.
After that, smartphones entered a rapid developnt phase. Blackberry, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, HTC, etc., are all developing their smartphones.
But the smartphone operating system developed by Blackberry, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, HTC, etc., is not good. There are not many applications for their phones, and it is mainly used to surf the internet, send and receive emails, and check stocks.
Feng Yu told Xu Lihua and his n about his requirents. It can only be considered a real smartphone if it can et his requirents. Putting the hardware aside, Lenovo Kingsoft has no problem developing the operating system Feng Yu wanted.
Luckily, they had started developing the operating system based on Feng Yu’s requirents. With the help of the Russians, they quickly developed it.
Lenovo Kingsoft had developed the PC operating system in a year, and they had tested this smartphone operating system. It is very stable, and Wind and Rain Mobile quickly introduce their smartphone to enter the smartphone market.
Wind and Rain Mobile can already compete with Nokia and Motorola in the traditional mobile phone. Currently, Nokia owns the biggest market share, but Wind and Rain Mobile had caught up with Motorola’s market share.
Wind and Rain Mobile’s target this ti is to overtake Motorola to beco second place in the global market share.
“Old Xu, the functions of this phone are not bad. Are you all going to na this model S1?”
“Yes. S stands for Super and is also a character from Lenovo Kingsoft. This operating system is called HOS. 1 represents the first generation, and we plan to introduce a new generation each year. All the functions will be upgraded in subsequent generations, and we will beco the best smartphone within three years!”
“I rember the smartphones’ mainstream operating system is Blackberry, Symbian, Microsoft, etc. Have you all tested our HOS system against them? Is there any prominent advantage?”
“We do not have an obvious advantage, but many of our system’s functions are more advanced. For example, we have PS software, and people can edit their photos on the phone. Our phones can also read our WPS Word docunts and Microsoft Word docunts. It can also send and receive emails. Our system can also support three types of internet browsers, and users can go onto Sina forums on the phone...”
All these functions are quite useful. Currently, the network is still 2G, and it’s very slow to go online. But this is better than none. So countries with more developed networks are already using 2.5G.
In the future, network speed will beco faster, and Feng Yu reminded Lenovo Kingsoft to work on the online and photo editing functions.
Lei Jun is confused when Feng Yu ntioned photo editing functions. Who will use mobile phones to edit pictures? Feng Yu said in his heart. You will know how popular selfies are in the future.
Regardless of n or won, old or young, they will take at least one selfie in their lives, and many are addicted to taking selfies. Netizens call many pretty girls and handso boys’ selfies as reference pictures in the future.
Selfies are not only popular in China. Everyone around the world is the sa. All of them want their pictures to look prettier.
Lei Jun felt smartphones should have more business or work-related functions. For example, Blackberry, which is the most popular phone for executives. After that incident in the US, the telecommunications are down. Many people used Blackberry’s wireless internet to receive information from the site.
That incident made Blackberry more popular, and most US executives start to use them. Even Ralph and Feng Yu’s staff in the US use a Wind and Rain Mobile phone and a Blackberry, making Feng Yu very unhappy.
But they had no choice. Blackberry’s phones have more functions than Wind and Rain Mobile phones.
It will be different now. When Wind and Rain Mobile phones have smartphone features better than Blackberry phones, many people will switch to Wind and Rain Mobile phones, and they don’t need to carry two phones around.
In Feng Yu’s previous life, Blackberry owns more than 30% of the global market share at its peak. In North Arica, their market share reached over 60%. They can be considered the representative of smartphones.
When ntioned smartphones, many people will think of Blackberry.
But after the Android system appeared, many companies entered the smartphone market. At that ti, smartphones are separated by operating systems, and Android owns more than 80% of the market share.
Feng Yu told Lei Jun that smartphones would not be limited to executives. Everyone is a potential smartphone user, and it will be the top priority for people in the future.
Although Lei Jun doesn’t believe this will happen, he still carried out Feng Yu’s orders. Lenovo Kingsoft’s workload increased by a lot. Still, they know if they own 30% of the market share, this operating system will bring in high profits for the company.
Feng Yu only emphasize one thing. Personalization. This is what people like about the Android system in their previous life.
The phone must be user-friendly, accustod to the user’s habits, and not force users to use whatever they give them. The developnt of this system must be from the user’s POV. This will make the system more attractive to the users.
