Chapter 113 Targeting 5G (Ch 5)

This time, the global launch of the Mate 20 was held in the foggy city of England.
As Chen Tong was the main invited guest this time, the guests also got to experience Yu Dazui’s Yu-style English.
Yu Dazui speaks very standard English, but his accent is quite heavy.
At this new product launch conference, Ju Factory brought four products.
First is the regular version of the mate 20. This generation of the mate 20 uses the T2 horizontal 1080P centered hole-punch straight screen currently produced by Huateng Microelectronics.
If it weren’t for the rise of Huateng Microelectronics, the original mate 20 would have used an ordinary 1080P LCD water drop screen.
However, this time the ordinary version does not have too much technology on it, making the whole product look mediocre.
The most distinctive features of this press conference are the mate20Pro and mate20RS Porsche versions.
First of all, both products use a 6.3-inch four-curved 2K resolution OLED screen.
There are not many products of Huateng Microelectronics’ T2-level 2K resolution OLED screens on the market.
Now there are only three products in total that use the 2k resolution screen produced by Huateng Microelectronics.
Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Smartisan R2, and the latest X20 Plus from Xiaomi!
Although the mate 20 series is the fourth to use a 2k resolution screen, this is the first time that Huateng Microelectronics’ 2K screen has been presented to global users.
In order to enable global netizens to more clearly understand the screen advantages of this product.
Yu Dazui also took out the released mobile phone and let the camera take a close-up shot of the screen, fully demonstrating the transparency and perfect color performance of the screen.
“Is this the screen produced in China? This screen is so unique!”
“I always thought that China’s screen industry was very backward, but now it seems that China’s screen technology is very strong!”
“The screen on the P20 series of the Ju factory is already very good, and I didn’t expect that the screen on the Mate 20 series will be even more powerful!”
Foreign netizens also had surprise on their faces, and were obviously shocked by the 2k resolution screen of Huateng Microelectronics this time.
For a long time, in the eyes of most overseas users, Sanxin is the strongest in the field of screens.
However, judging from the products released by the Ju factory, Huateng Microelectronics is currently basically able to compete with Sanxin.
Whether in terms of color or transparency, it really gave netizens a big surprise.
Of course, what shocked Chen Tong was that this time the director also specially released a product called mate20X.
The mate20X is a product with a 7.2-inch large screen. Its biggest features are the large screen and a 5000mAh large battery.
If I were to describe this product in one word, it would be “big”.
“This shouldn’t be a screen produced by Huateng Microelectronics? It should be produced by another domestic manufacturer, most likely Dongfang!”
Watching Yu Dazui introduce the mate20x product, Chen Tong also realized that the screen used in this product was not from his own company, Huateng Microelectronics.
This is also the only product in the entire mate 20 series whose screen is not from Huateng Microelectronics.
Judging from the overall display, the screen quality of this product is quite good. It seems that after receiving special technical support, the current domestic screen panel manufacturers have improved their screen production level.
Chen Tong remained very clear-headed about this situation.
In order to enable the domestic screen industry to achieve rapid growth and at the same time have the strength to compete with other international manufacturers.
Huateng Microelectronics will certainly have to unite with many current domestic manufacturers and strive to integrate resources and technologies so that Huateng Microelectronics can become a benchmark as much as possible.
It is not something to be happy about when a technology company becomes the industry leader. Instead, it is real success when a technology company becomes an indicator for the entire industry.
This new product launch conference came to an end very quickly.
After the press conference, Yu Dazui specially invited Chen Tong to a dinner.
“Mr. Chen, I think the concept of folding screen proposed by your company is quite good. Our company actually also wants to make folding screen…”
At the dinner, Yu Dazui said to Chen Tong with a smile that this time, the Ju Factory has set all its targets on the folding screen.
In fact, domestic mobile phones have always wanted to surpass Apple phones in terms of products, but domestic mobile phones are always inferior to Apple phones in terms of system and hardware levels.
Therefore, all major manufacturers want to try their best to overtake others.
Due to the special nature of the folding screen and its relatively high manufacturing cost, the price of the product is also very high.
This type of product has gradually become the first choice for major manufacturers who want to enter the high-end market and surpass Guozi.
Obviously, Ju Factory also saw the expectations brought by the foldable screen, and after careful consideration, it finally decided to consider discussing with Huateng Microelectronics.
On the one hand, Huateng Microelectronics owns many patents for folding screens. If other companies want to produce folding screens, they need to obtain patent authorization from Huateng Microelectronics.
Secondly, the flexible screen produced by Huateng Microelectronics is currently the first choice for producing folding screens. Even if you want to produce folding screens, you still need to cooperate with Huateng Microelectronics.
“In terms of authorization, we at Huateng Microelectronics can authorize your company for free, but I heard that the higher-ups are delegating 5G licenses recently…”
In response to the other party’s inquiry, Chen Tong was very happy to authorize the technology transfer to the other party.
But now Chen Tong has set his sights on another communication technology of the Ju Factory.
This year is already the second half of 2018, and by May next year, the domestic smartphone market will usher in new changes.
In May next year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will officially delegate 5G licenses, and at this time 5G networks will become another major revolution in the communications field.
Huateng Semiconductor is currently carrying out special upgrades to its chip design technology, and its chip design technology has now reached Lv5!
With the advantage of the number of R&D personnel and the current use of the “Multiplier with Half the Result” card, it is estimated that the technology will be upgraded to Lv6 level in January next year.
The company will probably have to iterate the design of new film technology after April next year.
From design to production and final commercial use, I’m afraid we will have to wait until the end of next year before we can actually interview most manufacturers.
Now, Huateng Semiconductor has obtained the communication technology patents and baseband module authorization from Ju Factory.
These technologies are basically 4G network communication technologies, not 5G network communication technologies.
5G network is a very important communication technology, but the current Ju factory has not licensed the technology to Huateng Semiconductor.
This means that if Huateng Semiconductor wants to use 5G networks on its processor chips next year, it must send someone to discuss with Juechang.
However, 5G network is currently the most advanced and powerful communication technology. If Huateng Semiconductor cannot come up with something that can attract the Ju factory, I am afraid that it will not be able to use 5G in its processor chips next year.
If the Xuanwu processor chip does not have 5G, then it will always be at a disadvantage in subsequent competition with other chip manufacturers, and may even make other manufacturers unwilling to purchase the Vortex processor.
Now Chen Tong hopes to obtain support for 5G technology and baseband through the folding screen cooperation.
Even if he needs to pay and the folding screen technology patent is licensed to Ju Factory for free, Chen Tong is willing to make the exchange.
