Rebirth 08: Can a mobile game company also build a tech empire?

"Appearance is just the first impression."

Lu Chen gently placed the phone on the display stand.

"What truly makes a mobile phone powerful is its uncompromising hardware."

The large screen behind him switched.

A set of clear data charts are presented.

Lu Chen explained each item in detail.

"Snapdragon S1 processor,

This is the configuration of mainstream high-end Android phones currently on the market.

In conjunction with our deeply optimized ZUI system,

It can guarantee absolutely smooth performance in daily use.

Furthermore, we support a maximum of 16GB of storage space.

this means,

You can store thousands of songs.

Tens of thousands of photos,

Or a dozen or so high-definition movies.

A gasp of amazement rose from the audience.

"500-megapixel camera,"

Lu Chen continued:

Supports autofocus and LED fill light.

In good lighting conditions

The shooting effect is comparable to that of a point-and-shoot camera.

"More importantly,"

He raised his phone and pressed the shutter button to take a picture of the audience.

"Click—"

The photo appeared on the big screen almost instantly.

It's a photo of the audience seats.

"The shooting speed is extremely fast, with almost zero delay."

Then,

Lu Chen swiped to unlock and entered the main interface.

My fingers flew across the page.

"It depends on the feel."

This is one of the core experiences that our team has repeatedly refined.

The interface follows your finger wherever it goes.

Without the slightest delay,

at this point,

You can experience it for yourselves in the experience area later.

Many people in the audience were already taking pictures with their cameras, and the flashes were going off one after another.

The hardware specifications are very high-end.

Lu Chen knew that these parameters were very obscure and difficult to understand for ordinary users.

Therefore, he only introduced a few examples that were relatively easy to illustrate.

They quickly changed the subject.

But hardware is only the foundation.

What truly sets Conquer Online 1 apart is its soul.

Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the audience.

ZUI

The ZUI logo appeared on the big screen.

"This is an Android system that is completely customized for Chinese users."

"Next, I will demonstrate for you,

How ZUI is redefining the smartphone experience.

The stage lights were turned up slightly.

The large screen switches to real-time projection of the mobile phone interface.

The camera zoomed in to capture a close-up of Lu Chen's hands.

"First, it's a small but very important feature."

Lu Chen opened the dial pad and entered a test number.

Once the call is connected, a record button appears on the screen.

One-click call recording

This is for many business people.

Or features that ordinary users need.

What stock Android doesn't have, ZUI includes in-system functionality.

Lu Chen hung up the phone and opened the recording list.

The call log from just now is displayed here.

It can be renamed, played, and deleted.

"The recording files will be automatically saved in the call recording folder, sorted by time."

Applause erupted from the audience.

Especially some of the audience members who looked like well-dressed business people.

They clapped with extra force.

"The second feature is application categorization."

Lu Chen returned to the main interface.

There are more than twenty application icons on the desktop.

"With the widespread adoption of smartphones,

We will install more and more applications.

They're all laid out flat on the table, making them difficult to find.

He long-pressed the camera icon and dragged it to the gallery icon.

The two icons are merged together.

Merge them into a single folder icon.

The system automatically named it "Photography".

You can drag similar apps together.

Social networking, utility apps, and games.

Long press the folder to rename it.

Click to expand, then click again to collapse.

Lu Chen explained and demonstrated at the same time.

"Each folder can hold a maximum of 16 applications."

He created a new game folder.

Drag the icons for games like Angry Birds, Fruit Swordsman, Plants vs. Zombies, and Minecraft into the folder.

"Neat and efficient."

Lu Chen concluded.

The live stream chat was buzzing with excitement.

"This feature is so useful!"

Meizu M8 users are envious!

Does Apple have this feature? No, right?

"The most awesome!"

"The third feature is quick contact search."

Lu Chen opened his contacts.

The list shows thousands of test contacts.

"When you have hundreds or even thousands of contacts,

Finding a name is going to be a painful process.

He typed "Wang" into the search box at the top.

Instantly, all contacts with the surname Wang were identified.

Supports fuzzy search.

For example, you only remember that the other person's name contains the character "Wei".

Enter W,

Contact persons whose names begin with the letter W will appear.

Lu Chen demonstrated.

If you can't even remember your name

I only remember it was from a certain company.

You can even enter part of the company name.

He inputs technology.

Contacts for all companies whose names contain the word "technology" were selected.

"Intelligent, and fast."

Lu Chen said:

"We optimized the search algorithm,"

A contact database of several thousand people,

Search response time is within 0.5 seconds.

Applause erupted again from the audience.

"Next feature,"

This could change many people's usage habits.

Lu Chen smiled mysteriously.

He swiped his finger down from the top of the screen.

The notification center slid down.

It displays not only unread text messages and missed calls, but also other notifications.

Even more eye-catching is a row of neatly arranged quick-access switches.

WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data, silent mode, screen rotation lock, flashlight, screen brightness adjustment...

The native Android notification bar only shows notifications.

But we've added a quick switch.

Lu Chen clicked the WiFi icon, and the WiFi instantly turned off.

Tap the flashlight icon, and the LED fill light on the back of your phone will turn on, transforming it into a flashlight.

"No need to navigate through complicated settings menus."

Scroll down, click, and you're done.

Lu Chen explained as he operated the equipment.

"Moreover, these switches can be sorted in a custom order."

Put your most frequently used apps at the top.

He continued to slide down.

The notification center has been fully expanded, revealing even more features.

"We call this design 'drop-down-to-operate'."

Lu Chen explained:

"Everything is done with the user's convenience in mind."

The audience was already getting restless.

Many people stood up to look, wanting to see more clearly.

The number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 100 million.

The barrage of comments was so dense that you had to turn it off to see the screen clearly.

"Holy crap! This notification bar is amazing!"

"This is what a smart system looks like! Stock Android is garbage!"

"Buy! We absolutely have to buy it!"

"Other mobile phone manufacturers should take note!"

Lu Chen put down his phone.

He paused for a few seconds, looking at the excited audience below the stage.

"The demonstration just now,"

This is just a small part of the many innovative features of the ZUI system.

He spoke slowly.

"But due to time constraints, I cannot show them all."

He walked to the edge of the stage, close to the audience.

What I'm trying to say is, regarding the implementation of these features...

It's not because the technology is that difficult.

to be frank,

The technical barrier is not high.

This is because we really thought about it.

What do users in China really need?

What are some of the inconveniences they experience when using their phones every day?

What unmet needs are there?
