493 Working with mobile phone developers

Could a cell phone replace a handphone?

In the eyes of the players in parallel world, the answer was obvious: Of course he could.

This was because the functions of mobile phones and handheld phones were highly repetitive. They were both portable devices that could play games. Moreover, the configuration of mobile phones these days was very high, and they could play large-scale games that were tens of gigabytes.

Not to mention that mobile phones had an advantage that palm phones couldn't compare to.

On one hand, everyone had a smartphone, which meant that everyone was a potential user of mobile games. On the other hand, mobile phones had internet access and had more users. For video game companies, it would be easier to make online games with more users.

In that case, why would most people spend two to three thousand Yuan on a separate handheld phone to play games?

That didn't make sense!

Therefore, the people of this world did not realize the possibilities of a handheld device.

However, Chen Zhao did not think so.

Mobile phones could never replace handheld phones. This was not a problem that could be solved by technological development. This was an inevitable result of the different positioning of the two products.

In Chen Mo's previous life, whether it was a console or a handheld device, the buttons were fixed. There had to be two solid joysticks on the left and right, and more than ten solid buttons.

Obviously, these solid joysticks and buttons couldn't be placed on the phone, because their positioning was completely different from the phone itself.

Making calls, sending messages, and using various applications were the main functions of a mobile phone. Playing games was just one of its secondary functions.

Therefore, no cell phone manufacturer would add a physical joystick and buttons on the phone, which were useless except for playing games.

Ultimately, the cell phone was not a professional game console, so games were just a subsidiary function.

It was impossible for cell phones to fully serve games, so it was impossible for them to experience some core games to the extreme.

In addition, whether it was a console or a handheld device, its true vitality lay in the core games on it, and some games could not be transplanted to a mobile phone no matter what.

In other words, the difference between mobile phones and handheld phones was not determined by the level of technological development, but by the different positions of these two products. Their main functions were different, so they could never be the same.

Of course, there was also the possibility that with the development of technology in the future, people could enter the virtual game world with a virtual helmet or a pair of virtual glasses.

If it really improved to this extent, then not only handheld phones, but also gaming devices such as mobile phones and PC would be eliminated.

And even if a new device replaced the handheld device, it didn't mean that the handheld device had disappeared. It could only be said that the new device had become the new handheld device.

Therefore, from the current situation, handheld phones and mobile phones, as two devices with different main functions, could co-exist. If the players wanted to experience some professional hardcore games, they still had to use the handheld console.

The handheld device that Chen Mo wanted to design was obviously to fill in the void of parallel world.

Of course, since there were no handheld devices made in China in parallel world, Chen Mo had to start from scratch.

However, starting from scratch didn't mean that he had to start from scratch.

In the era of globalization, the production of a mobile phone often required cooperation in many aspects. Its parts might come from different manufacturers around the world, and the real R & D only needed to provide the design plan.

Even some of the R & D Business Alliance's design plans could be bought, and they could also make cell phones, as long as they could sell the cell phones.

Handheld phones and mobile phones had some technical similarities, so Chen Mo considered contacting some of the more reliable mobile phone developers in China.

……

Two days later, Lin Xiao handed a report to Chen Mo.

"Manager, these are the survey materials of some cell phone manufacturers. I've contacted some industry insiders and talked to the higher-ups of these companies. The general situation is written in the report material. Please take a look."

Chen Mo nodded,"Okay, thanks for your hard work."

He took a closer look at the review materials of these mobile phone manufacturers.

Basically, it was similar to his previous life. There were many brands in the cell phone industry in this world.

The domestic cell phone industry was developing well, even better than Chen Mo's previous life. In fact, in some aspects of technology, it had completely surpassed his previous life.

After all, there was a lot of black technology in this world, so it was normal for it to surpass the previous world.

After careful selection, Chen Mo chose a cell phone developer called le Hui.

This mobile phone R & D Company called le Hui was also a new R & D Company that had only emerged in recent years. Compared to other veteran R & D companies, their main selling point was: It was cost-effective and linked with the popular mobile games on the market.

They had carefully designed all sorts of cell phone models, all of which were made to target the popular mobile games on the market. For example, a thousand Yuan console could bring in a certain popular game on the market. High-end consoles that cost 2000,3000, and even 5000 Yuan all had their own popular mobile games.

In other words, if you wanted to play a popular game, choosing a phone that was relatively cheap in Lehui would be the best choice. It was cheap and easy to use.

This marketing strategy helped le Hui quickly occupy the market for young people. At the same time, le Hui cell phones also had a good reputation among gaming enthusiasts.

In fact, one could tell from the name "le Hui" that "le" meant to bring joy to everyone, and "Hui" meant that it was more affordable. At the same time, it highlighted the characteristics of the phone in terms of playing games and price-performance ratio.

Chen Mo chose this company because they had a better sense of the game industry and would be able to communicate more easily. On the other hand, he felt that they were able to strictly control the cost, which would be helpful in the development of the mobile phone.

Soon, Chen Mo contacted the person in charge of Lehui and made an appointment to meet the CEO at Lehui's headquarters in three days.

……

The founder and CEO of Lehui was called Zhou Jiangping.

In the domestic it industry, Zhou Jiangping was also a very famous figure. He had a technical background, unlike those founders who liked to Bluff people into investing.

Many people thought that Zhou Jiangping was one of the more down-to-earth and serious entrepreneurs in China.

Of course, to le Hui and Zhou Jiangping, they were also very surprised that Chen Mo could contact them.

Chen Mo's Thunderbolt entertainment was already considered one of the Giants in the Chinese gaming industry, as it was an influential game developer and distributor.

Moreover, the Lehui cell phone was meant for young people and was closely related to the mobile game market. As the Best Mobile Game designer in the country, Chen Mo was definitely worthy of le Hui's attention.
