Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 47: Smartphone Prototype Completed

The current T1.5 version has surpassed Android 1.5 and 2.0, and can even be compared to the 2.1 they are currently developing, and in some aspects even surpass it.

"How is the aircraft compatibility?" Shen Fei asked this important question.

"It is currently perfectly compatible with all Transsion models on sale, from the T80 to the Power Max," Liu Zhihong replied.

However, these are all feature phones, and the adaptation process doesn't involve much technical expertise, so it doesn't really showcase the high quality of the Tos system.

Just as Shenyang Aircraft Corporation was about to inquire about the smartphone platform, Liu Zhihong spoke up again:

"This version has also been adapted to Mr. Chen's smartphone platform, and Mr. Chen's feedback has been very positive."

In addition, we are also working with the Huawei team on compatibility, and the feedback from Mr. Ren (Ren Zhengfei, CEO of Huawei) has been very positive. They say the system is much smoother than their modified version of Android.

Hearing that both sides had entered the adaptation phase, Shen Fei was relieved of his worries.

Huawei's EMUI was practically garbage before Android 4.0. Looks like I'll have to call Mr. Ren (Ren Zhengfei, CEO of Huawei) after the meeting and ask them to focus on optimizing the system...

However, that was all work to come. Shen Fei picked up the system introduction again.

Version T1.5 is essentially a system based on a completely modified open-source Android system. It cannot yet be called an independent operating system, so it still needs to undergo major reforms.

"What about the plans for version 2.0?"

"The goal of version 2.0 is to replace 60% of Android components," Liu Zhihong said, pulling up a roadmap. "This includes the graphics rendering engine, network protocols, security framework... It is expected to be completed by September next year."

It will then become a truly independent and controllable operating system.

"Sure. If you need money, just ask Mr. Huang for it."

…………

After the report was finished, Shen Fei had just returned to his office when Chen Hai excitedly knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Shen, it's done."

"What's done?"

"A smartphone! Our first smartphone engineering prototype is out."

"A breakthrough in smartphones—this is the future!" Shen Fei immediately stood up.

Two pieces of good news in one day, this is simply...

"Walk!"

The two walked quickly to the laboratory, and through the glass wall, they could see more than a dozen engineering prototypes inside, where engineers were testing them intensively.

Chen Hai swiped his card to enter and picked up a mobile phone from the worktable.

This engineering prototype features a dark gray unibody design and a 5-inch screen, which is significantly larger than the 3.5-inch screen on the Apple 3G.

The back has a matte finish and is printed with the "TECNO" logo and the word "smart1".

The engineering prototype for the smartphone project was codenamed "smart," signifying its intelligence and distinguishing it from previous feature phones.

"The exterior design was handled by a German team that Mr. Huang recruited."

A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Hai's eyes as he said this.

Those people were indeed very skilled, but they were all his employees. He never dared to imagine such a life.

"The overall design features a unibody metal design, with a thickness of only 7.9 mm at its thinnest point. It uses a 3000mAh battery, and because the battery is relatively heavy, the weight is 156 grams."

The screen is 4.5 inches with a resolution of 480*320. The supplier is an Eastern factory, and the screen quality is rather average, but it's sufficient for African users.

Shen Fei took the phone.

While this phone wasn't as good as the ones made in later generations, it was still quite decent for its time. At the very least, it felt comfortable to hold and was solidly built, easily comparable to Samsung and HTC phones of the same era.

As for the fruit... one can only say that he was reborn a little too late, otherwise there would be no place for Steve Jobs.

"Power on."

Shen Fei gently pressed the power button, and the screen lit up, revealing the Tos 1.5 startup interface. It wasn't a conventional Android system, but rather a simple silhouette of a mountain peak, with the artistic text "Taishan OS" below.

The boot time ultimately stopped at 35 seconds.

This achievement greatly surprised Shen Fei. You have to understand that at the same time, Android 1.5, coupled with a relatively weak processor, was a very difficult and unpleasant experience to boot up.

Breaking the 40-second barrier is already a miracle; most athletes maintain a time of 60-80 seconds.

That's right! Early Android was indeed quite poor, completely inferior to iOS. If phone manufacturers did some tricks and pre-installed more apps, it would be even worse.

So 100 seconds isn't anything special.

After entering the system, Shen Fei swiped the screen. Smooth, extremely smooth.

Of course, this comparison is made with current Android devices; compared to iOS, it is not worthy of comparison.

The app icon features a redesigned rounded rectangle style with bright and appealing colors. Currently, it includes basic functions such as Transsion's Tpay, offline maps, and weather.

Shen Fei scrolled for a while but lost interest, since the software ecosystem on this phone was still too limited, and there were no games at all.

Fortunately, he had already instructed Huang Tianya to support relevant African companies, and I heard that the initial version is already under development.

In addition, PopCap's team in the United States has also entered the late-stage testing phase for the classic game Plants vs. Zombies.

Because of Huaxin Investment's full acquisition, this game will be released on an additional platform in its initial launch phase—the Tos platform.

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation has now assigned them a new task: to develop another classic game, Fruit Ninja. Once both games are released simultaneously, they can officially enter the domestic market.

What about the hardware specifications?

"The enhanced version of the Mtk6573 originally had a frequency of 650MHz, but after enhancement, it reached 750MHz, resulting in a certain performance upgrade."

These engineering machines are all top-of-the-line models.

It has 512MB of RAM and 16GB of storage, but supports up to 32GB of RAM expansion.

The camera also boasts the highest pixel count we've ever used, at 200 megapixels, and employs the latest algorithm.

Shen Fei picked up his phone and took a picture of Chen Hai next to him. The preview image was clear, the focus speed was acceptable, and the color reproduction was very accurate.

"What about battery life?"

"It uses the latest 3000mAh high-density battery from our Huaxing Battery Factory. Under normal use, it lasts for two and a half days, which is absolutely excellent for a smartphone."

Chen Hai said proudly that he had shown a surprised expression when he tested it.

You should know about the battery life of the iPhone 3G...

After asking these questions, Shen Pei conducted another detailed test. The browser loaded web pages quickly, and video playback was relatively smooth.

This enhanced chip completely eliminates MediaTek's problems with video encoding and decoding... It seems that this enhancement center has other functions besides critical hits.

The gaming ecosystem... no problem, Huaxin has the money to invest.

Penguins of the future! Yes, penguins. Right now, it seems like the best investment opportunity. If not, then create a penguin.

But that's a task for later; I'll just tell Huang Tianya later. The most important thing right now is the release of the smartphone. He suppressed that question and quickly asked:

What is the current production capacity?
