Chapter 492 - Cooperation with Mobile Phone Developers (1st Update)

Can mobile phones replace handheld computers?

To players in parallel worlds, the answer is obvious: of course.

Because the functions of mobile phones and handhelds are highly repetitive, they are both portable devices that can play games, and now the configuration of mobile phones is already very high, and it is completely possible to play large-scale games of tens of gigabytes.

What's more, mobile phones also have advantages that handhelds can't match.

On the one hand, everyone has a smartphone, which means that everyone is a potential user of mobile games; On the other hand, mobile phones have the function of networking, and there are more users, so it will be more convenient for game providers to do some online games with a large number of people.

In this case, why do most people spend two or three thousand yuan to buy a separate handheld for playing games in addition to their mobile phones?

It doesn't make sense!

Therefore, people in this world are not aware of the possibilities contained in handhelds.

But Chen Mo didn't think so.

Mobile phones can never replace handheld computers, this is not a problem that can be solved by the development of science and technology, this is the inevitable result of the different positioning of the two products.

In Chen Mo's previous life, whether it was a host or a handheld, their buttons were relatively fixed, and there must be two physical joysticks on the left and right and more than ten physical buttons.

Obviously, it is impossible for these physical joysticks and physical buttons to reach the phone, because they are completely different from the positioning of the phone itself.

For mobile phones, making calls, sending messages, and using various software are the main functions of mobile phones, and as for playing games, it is only one of its subsidiary functions.

Therefore, no mobile phone manufacturer will add physical joysticks and physical buttons to mobile phones, which have no use other than playing games.

It boils down to one thing: mobile phones aren't professional gaming consoles, so gaming is just an ancillary function of it.

Mobile phones can't fully serve games, so for some core game experiences, it's bound to be impossible to achieve the extreme.

In addition, whether it is a console or a handheld, its real vitality lies in the core games above, and some games are impossible to port to mobile phones anyway.

In other words, the difference between mobile phones and handheld computers does not depend on the level of technological development, but on the different positioning of these two products, and their main functions are different, so they can never become the same.

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

If it really progresses to this extent, then not only handheld computers, but also mobile phones and PCs will also be eliminated.

And even if there is a new device that replaces the handheld, it does not mean that the handheld is dead, it can only be said that this new device has become the new handheld.

So from the current point of view, handheld and mobile phones, as two devices with different main functions, can coexist. If players want to experience some professional hardcore games, they still have to use a handheld to achieve it.

And the handheld that Chen Mo wants to design is obviously to fill the blank field in the parallel world.

Of course, since there are no handheld manufacturers in China in the parallel world, everything has to start from scratch for Chen Mo.

But starting from scratch doesn't mean having to start from scratch.

In the era of globalization, a mobile phone often needs to cooperate with many aspects when it is produced, and its components may come from different manufacturers around the world, and the real developer only needs to provide a design solution.

Even some R&D business association design solutions are bought, and you can also make mobile phones, as long as you can sell mobile phones.

Handheld and mobile phones have something in common in some technical aspects, so for this point, Chen Mo considered directly contacting some more reliable mobile phone developers in China.

……

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

"Store manager, this is the inspection data of some mobile phone manufacturers, I contacted some industry insiders, and also talked to the senior management of these companies, and the general situation is written in the report materials, you can take a look."

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, hard work." ”

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

Basically, similar to the previous life, there are many brands in the mobile phone field in this world.

Domestic mobile phones have developed very well, even better than Chen Mo's previous life. Even in terms of some technical levels, it has comprehensively surpassed the previous life.

After all, there are a lot of black technologies in this world, and it is normal to surpass the previous life.

After careful selection, Chen Mo chose a mobile phone developer called Lehui.

This mobile phone developer called Lehui is also an emerging developer that has only emerged in recent years. Compared with other established developers, their main selling point is that they are cost-effective and linked with popular mobile games on the market.

Their well-designed mobile phone models are all made for the popular mobile games on the market. For example, a thousand-yuan machine can bring a popular game on the market, and high-end machines of 2000 yuan, 3000 yuan, and even 5000 yuan have corresponding popular mobile games.

In other words, if you want to play a popular game, choosing a mobile phone with the corresponding price of Lehui is the most cost-effective choice, which is cheap and easy to use.

This marketing strategy helped Lehui quickly occupy the young market, and at the same time, among game lovers, Lehui mobile phones also have a good reputation.

In fact, it can be seen from the name Lehui, "Le" is to bring joy to everyone, "Hui" is more affordable, and at the same time highlights the characteristics of this mobile phone in terms of playing games and cost performance.

Chen Mo chose this mobile phone developer, on the one hand, because he felt that their sense of smell in the game industry was more sensitive, and many problems would be communicated more smoothly; On the other hand, I also feel that they can control the cost very strictly, which will be more helpful in the research and development process of the handheld.

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

……

The founder and CEO of Lehui is called Zhou Jiangping.

In the domestic IT industry, Zhou Jiangping is also a very famous figure. He himself is a technical background, which is different from those founders who like to deceive people into investing with empty mouths and white teeth.

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

Of course, for Le Hui and Zhou Jiangping, Chen Mo was able to contact them, which also surprised them.

In the domestic game industry, Chen Mo's Thunder Interactive Entertainment is already one of the giants, and it is a very influential game developer and channel provider.

Moreover, Lehui mobile phones were originally aimed at young people and were closely related to the mobile game market. Chen Mo, as the best mobile game designer in China (there is no one), is obviously worthy of Lehui's great attention.
