Chapter 82 Someone else's design is the best design

MediaTek's processor chips are relatively difficult to optimize. Even because of this, many users will make a certain amount of considerations when purchasing MediaTek models.

First of all, MediaTek chip scheduling issues have always been a difficult problem for manufacturers.

Take the famous Dimensity 1000 chip as an example.

This is MediaTek's first flagship-positioned processor chip in the 5G era. In terms of CPU, it uses the A77 architecture of the same generation as the Fire Dragon 865.

Even the Dimensity 1000 is slightly weaker than the Fire Dragon 865 in terms of overall CPU frequency.

Logically speaking, the daily use of mobile phones basically depends on the scheduling of the CPU. The frequency of Dimensity 1000 is lower than that of Fire Dragon 865. Logically speaking, the power consumption of daily use will be lower.

But it is a pity that the early Dimensity 1000 models have repeatedly reported that the power consumption in daily use has dropped, and the phone has become too hot.

This result has a certain relationship with the optimization of mobile phone manufacturers.

The early manufacturers that released Dimensity 1000 are three well-known sub-brands in the entire mobile phone industry that take the cost-effective route.

Since it is cost-effective, the investment in the optimization of this chip is naturally much less.

Coupled with the fact that this is MediaTek's first flagship-level processor, mobile phone manufacturers naturally do not have much experience in chip optimization.

This also resulted in the eight cores of the early Dimensity 1000 processor chip running at basically full frequency during daily use.

What does it mean when the CPU is full? In the simplest terms, you only need one person to lift a carton of milk, and suddenly everyone comes to lift the milk with you.

This makes the power consumption of this processor chip in daily use beyond people's understanding, and is even understood by most users as overturning.

Of course, after nearly a year of subsequent training by mobile phone manufacturers, the chip’s training strategy has also become somewhat mature.

In the daily use of the chip, the method of locking the frequency and locking the performance is adopted to ensure the power consumption of the daily use of the mobile phone.

hallo g98h For the first time, the overall parameters of this processor chip look very good, but it is a challenge for the newly established FlexPai company to make the mobile phone fully exert its strength.

Of course, after the samples of this processor chip are obtained, Zhou Zhen will let the two companies, Roupai and Yuzhen, jointly tune this processor chip again.

We strive to make this chip meet the needs of most users and at the same time provide users with a sufficiently excellent chip experience.

In addition to mobile phone processor chips, FlexPai has also begun to place orders with the upstream supply chain.

The screen of the mobile phone naturally comes from the R2 material OLED screen accumulated by Rouyu Company.

In order to make this screen competitive among other models in the second half of the year, Zhou Zhen has invested a lot of new technologies in this phone.

Full screen design with center punch hole!

The use of high refresh rates!

The application of the latest generation of COP packaging technology!

As well as the support of a series of technologies such as under-screen optical fingerprints.

Behind Roupai is Rouyu Company.

As a top-level supplier in the entire screen panel industry, Rouyu Company naturally has certain advantages in screen supply.

In the future, Flexpai will regard "screen" as a major selling point of its branded mobile phones to attract more users to buy the product.

Got the screen and processor chip.

For some chip modules such as flash memory, RAM, IC charging, and Bluetooth modules, Zhou Zhen mostly uses public version chip modules provided by MediaTek.

For flash memory and storage, SanDisk and Hynix chips are used respectively.

Of course, they all use the ufs2.1 and lpddr4x combination that is currently the most mainstream application in the flagship.

When the core chip is basically completed.

What Zhou Zhen needs to solve is the imaging module and battery life module.

In terms of batteries, when Zhou Zhen was working as a product manager at a rice company, he was transferred to two supply chain companies.

The first is Coslight Corporation, which targets flagship products.

The other one is Scud for mid- to low-end products.

Zhou Zhen took into account the reputation issues of the first generation of FlexPai products and finally chose Coslight, which has stronger overall strength, as a partner.

As for charging, in order to make the product competitive, Zhou Zhen naturally chose a relatively fast charging power of 22.5w.

At the same time, in order to give the product a certain flagship performance, a 5w wireless charging module can be added to the product design concept.

As for imaging, the only partner Zhou Zhen can find now is Sony, but the strength of the sensors provided by Sony can only be said to be average.

"Scanning quickly" may be the only advantage of this sensor.

After the basic supply chain issues are resolved, the company needs to consider working on product design issues.

Product design is divided into appearance and interior.

There is no need to say much about the appearance, everyone knows it!

The internal design of a mobile phone includes the arrangement of the mobile phone's main board, sub-board, and battery, as well as the integration level of the mobile phone chip main board and a series of stacks of heat dissipation materials and buffers inside the mobile phone.

The appearance design of a mobile phone can affect users’ first impression of the mobile phone.

As for the internal design of mobile phones, it can directly affect users’ daily use experience of mobile phones.

For some mobile phones with unsuccessful internal designs, a series of problems such as heating are the most common problems.

The biggest problem in the internal design is the problem of virtual soldering of mobile phone chips and burning of the motherboard of mobile phones.

For example, a certain generation of rice digital series is relatively successful in terms of appearance design. After all, it is ugly and very recognizable.

However, there were very big problems in the internal design of the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone had many quality control problems and eventually became a joke.

The appearance design of this product was personally designed by Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen firmly believes in one sentence: before there is a certain brand awareness, the design of friends is always the best design.

“The middle frame design of the mobile phone cancels the 3D curved surface design concept and adopts a stainless steel middle frame design!”

"Be a sharp outlier in the era of smoothness and tact!"

"The back cover of the mobile phone uses the upper left camera module...the mobile phone camera module does this..."

In terms of the design of the middle frame and back cover of the mobile phone, Zhou Zhen boldly borrowed the design of the Guozi Future 12 series.

The bathroom heater has a dual-camera design in the upper left corner, with a classic right-angle stainless steel frame.

The back cover is made of five classic colors: Sao Nan Pink, Tuhao Gold, Good White, Yuanfeng Blue, and Fly Green.

Follow other people's paths and leave others with nowhere to go!

Yes, this is Zhou Zhen’s philosophy in making machines.

This design will make SoftPai phones look fruity and unique.

Although Zhou Zhen said that he thinks the design of Guozi 12 and 13 series is a bit ugly, the recognition is still quite obvious.

Even the design of Guozi’s mobile phone has once again led the new trend of Android mobile phone design.

The uglier it is, the more fashionable it is! When it is extremely ugly, it becomes fashionable!

In fact, Zhou Zhen has considered learning from the design of Juchang’s mate30 and 40 series.

After all, the designs of these two series are indeed high-end and recognizable.

However, due to cost constraints, the mobile phone only uses two rear lenses, and in the end, a fruity design with lower design difficulty was chosen.

Since the back cover and middle frame of the phone are so fruity, the front of the phone still borrows designs from major manufacturers.

Due to corresponding cost constraints, the front of the phone this time adopts a straight-screen design.

The straight-screen design also gave Zhou Zhen something to learn from.

Sansan s21 and 22 series!

The central front-cut hole, ultra-narrow design on all four sides, and a new generation of COP packaging technology make the chin of the phone look smaller.

The look and feel of this straight screen design is not much worse than the look and feel of some curved screens.

Even the performance of this kind of straight screen in daily use is far better than that of mobile phones with curved screens.

Such an excellent design by Zhou Zhen combines high-end design into a mobile phone.

The middle frame of the back cover is possessed by fruit, and the front screen is blessed by Sansang!
Chapter completed!
