Dreampad fans are actually Apple’s iPad fans in their previous lives.
If you say Apple, this company is really amazing.
Not only can they create a tablet computer like the iPad, but they actually want to shrink the tablet computer to a size between the iPhone and the iPad, and develop a market segment.
Many people have said that being a fan of iPads is a big mistake made by Apple, because having an iPad is enough. What’s the point of shrinking the iPad? It’s just sensationalism and money-scamming!
As a result, iPad fans told these so-called critics with facts. You don’t understand the market, but we do!
After iPad Fanni was launched in 2012, it immediately detonated the small-size tablet market, shipping more than tens of millions of units in one go, which is even more fierce than the iPad.
Even many fans who bought iPads also bought a small iPad fanni, which they carry in their purses and briefcases and take out to play in their spare time.
Apple's stock price has also risen sharply.
Xiao Qi also likes the iPad Mi Ni, not only because it feels like a book in his hand, not only because it is one-third lighter than the iPad, but also because it is well-done in every detail.
Very spot on.
Especially with the upgrade of ios, the usage experience of iPad fans is far better than that of other brands of tablets. It is convenient and fast, and can respond to various control commands anytime and anywhere, giving users the best experience. This is iPad
One of the reasons why fans are so successful.
At that time, iPad fans were not without their shortcomings. Its biggest shortcoming was that the screen resolution was not enough, only 1024768, and it did not use the retina display screen of iPhone 5. It seemed that the screen would appear grainy under the large screen.
When Xiao Qi used the iPad Mi ni, he felt that its screen resolution was not very powerful. If he was playing games, such as League of Legends, the detailed pictures would appear unclear, which would affect the game.
Or the feeling of watching a blockbuster movie.
Therefore, when he developed DreamPad Mi ni, he focused on resolution and pixel density as very important items.
Moreover, the 2k screen can be continued. After Dreampad fans took the lead in using it, the next generation Dreampad and Dreamsta can all use it.
2k screen is not just one specification, it can be subdivided into many grades.
Today's Dreampad fans use the first generation, Dreampad can use the second generation, Dreamsno can use the third generation, and the fourth generation can be used on Dreamsta.
When you switch to a dreampad fan, you can use the 3k or 4k screen again.
This is the continuing role of smart technology, which can continuously develop its potential. Even after Fairy Company has eliminated the 2k screen, it can sell it to the seven major domestic smartphone manufacturers so that their mid-range phones can also use 2k screens.
, increase one’s competitiveness.
Of course, the advantages of smartphones are not just the screen.
The screen only focuses on the benefits of smartphones, but the real core technology lies in the chip.
Fairy Company's products almost all use the same chip, but some subdivision details are different.
The current Fantasy chip is much more advanced than the original one. Both the GPU and CPU processing capabilities are among the best in the industry.
What makes Xiao Qi most happy is that his company has gradually got rid of its dependence on external arm and imagination technologies. Now, in the chip, its own technology and patents have reached 70%, which is much higher than Apple's 60%.
Second only to Nokia’s 87%.
However, the reason why Nokia's chips are so self-sufficient is that they have not absorbed enough external technology. Therefore, with their chips alone, there will be lags when processing some function-intensive programs. The overall performance
Not very good.
Xiao Qi has been paying attention to Fairy Company's product lineup in market segments.
Dreamsta represents the high-end market of mobile phones, and Dreamsno represents the mid-range market of mobile phones. From the perspective of smartphones, if you want to maintain Fairy Company's status of "only making high-quality products" and make mid-range mobile phones, it is already a limit.
.
Although low-end mobile phones make a lot of money, they will bring down the entire company's style.
The gap between Apple and Samsung in the previous life was not only the products themselves, but also their respective strategies.
Samsung sells 20 or 30 models of mobile phones anytime and anywhere, covering the entire three grades of smartphones: high, middle and low. They sell mobile phones ranging from hundreds to thousands, so as long as you want to buy a smartphone, you can
Buying one from Samsung meant that for a period of time, the overall sales of Samsung mobile phones accounted for more than 50% of the world's smartphone sales, almost a replica of Nokia.
Apple is different. At the beginning, it only made one mobile phone and one tablet. Even though it changed its thinking later and became two mobile phones and two tablets, it still took the high-end route and did not go there at all.
Make so-called cheap mobile phones.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Apple is synonymous with exquisite engineering technology, and Samsung is a major manufacturer of mobile phones.
The grades of the two are naturally different.
With such experience and lessons, how could Xiao Qi allow himself to make cheap mobile phones again?
To be honest, it is perfectly fine to sell Dreamsno with a starting price of 4,000. It’s just that Xiao Qi deliberately lowered the price a bit to firmly lock in the mid-range market.
There is no difference between the two products Dreampad Mi Ni and Dreampad Mi Ni as high-end and mid-range products. The only difference lies in their size and segmentation.
In fact, to put it simply, they are equivalent to the same tablet computer of different sizes.
In the current smart tablet market, in addition to Fairy Company, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft have all joined in, but the competition in the market has not been so fierce.
Dreampad occupies the high-end market, and the other models grab the remaining market. It's as simple as that.
Moreover, the smart tablet market is still expanding. The total sales volume was 200 million units the year before last, but about 300 million units were sold last year, and it is expected to increase next year.
Therefore, many people are saying that the era of tablet computers replacing laptops and desktop computers has arrived.
But Xiao Qi knew that these people were just talking nonsense.
Not to mention that this is just after 2010, even at the end of 2013, tablet computers are far from replacing personal computers.
On the contrary, the demand for personal computers is still increasing, and tablet computers have fallen into a bottleneck.
There are various reasons for this. The biggest reason is that tablet computers have too few practical functions. More than 50% of the things that personal computers can do, tablet computers cannot do.
For example, playing large and complex online games, using and processing various complex work software, etc. are all what personal computers are good at, but this happens to be the weakness of keyboards and tablet computers with incomplete functions.
This matter will have to wait until later. Now that Xiao Qi has developed Dreampad Mi ni, the next step is to slowly solve the bottleneck problem of tablet computers.
What's more, Xiao Qi has been making preparations, such as Touhcover, a device with a protective shell and touch keyboard, which is to solve the disadvantage of tablet computers that are not fast in typing.
As DreamPad fans’ second attempt at tablet computers, the project actually started in 2009.
It is not a very difficult project for Dreampad fans, because apart from being smaller than the 9.7-inch Dreampad, even the screen aspect ratio of 4:3 has not changed.
The reduction of some key components is not a big deal. With the continuous improvement of technology, the size of components can become smaller and smaller, and naturally some of them are suitable for use on DreamPad fans.
The reason why you have waited until now for Dreampad fans to basically complete the assembly is because you are waiting for another upgrade of the Dreampad chip and the use of this 2k display.
"When will it be officially put into assembly production?" After reading the information, Xiao Qi asked Sun Man Xuedao.
"The laboratory has carried out three rounds of assembly, and three rounds of performance testing have been completed. No problems have been found yet." Sun Manxue replied seriously: "If everything goes well, it should be officially put into operation in April.
Assembly production.”
"How is everyone's reaction to Dreampad fans?" Xiao Qi asked again.
"Many engineers think that the Dreampad is very convenient to carry around. If you use it to read books, play some social games, and watch movies and TV shows, it is a good pastime." Sun Manxue said with a smile: "But they think that the Dreampad is portable
The sales volume should not be as good as the Dreampad, it is just a supplement to the Dreampad, but it will help us develop the tablet market segment."
Xiao Qi smiled and said nothing.
It’s not certain who will supplement whom at that time. (To be continued.)
