Chapter 120 – Who Buys Xiaomi?
Shuddering, the middle-aged executive stammered, “…”
“Chief Lei.”
“Right! C-Chief Lei! He… He seems to be above us…”
In response to his three executives’ words, Lei Jun lowered his head and squinted his eyes, uncertainty appearing on his face.
“Chief Lei, let’s notify the government,” the technical director said, unconsciously suppressing his tone. “You are a director of Bilibili. Didn’t the person in charge of that department leave you his contact method?”
“That won’t be necessary.” Picking up his vibrating phone, Lei Jun said, “They’re calling me already.”
“Hu…”
The flexible screen in the middle felt elastic to the touch, and it seamlessly connected the two main screens. No cracks or bumps could be felt across the joint. The 14-inch screen looked no different than a mirror.
“This is…quite stunning.”
Facing the camera, Chen Yu played around with the phone for half a minute. “This should be a concept phone produced in a laboratory. It is definitely impossible for the civilian industry to have developed to a point where it can mass-produce smartphones of this caliber.”
Chen Yu pressed down on the power button located on the right side of the screen after saying so.
“I suddenly discovered an ergonomic design flaw. While in tablet mode, the power and sound buttons are located on the right. When folded into a mobile phone form, the buttons will move to the left. Operating these buttons wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience. That’s the case for me, at least.”
While Chen Yu briefly introduced the phone, the black mirror-like screen suddenly lit up. After an orange logo momentarily appeared on the screen, the activation interface appeared.
“According to the phone specifications stated on the instructions, this phone is running on a Snapdragon 875+ processor, a 20+1T memory combination, a built-in TVOC gas sensor, and 6,200 mAh nano-silicon battery. I heard that this type of battery is already being used on a small scale. The camera is a 48MP under-screen camera, and it is definitely capable of capturing every pore on your face. Lastly, the screen’s resolution… Sorry, I forgot what it was.
“I’m not going to flip through the instructions again either, as I’m sure this isn’t what everyone wants to know. Time is of the essence. Let’s head straight to the next agenda—actual operation!”
After quickly completing the phone’s start-up process, he merged the two screens with a “pop.”
The application icons that were initially evenly spread across the 14-inch screen promptly split between the front and rear screens. Simultaneously, touch screen buttons for locking, shutting down, and adjusting the volume of the phone appeared on the joint screen.
When Chen Yu tentatively swiped his finger across the front screen, he found that the rear screen was linked and reacting along.
“Mhm… Looking at it now, this phone is indeed remarkable. There is no distinction between the front and rear screens. Both screens can be considered the front screen, and both can be regarded as the rear screen. It is entirely dependent on which side is facing up when you pick up the phone! There will no longer be a concept of front and rear.
“I also have to retract my ergonomic design flaw comment. I noticed that the joint screen also has a series of virtual buttons meant to substitute their physical counterparts. With this, regardless of whether you are using this device in mobile phone mode or tablet mode, there will always be power and volume buttons on the right side. I give this design a perfect score.”
[How cool…]
[Are you sure this is a smartphone from three years into the future?]
[Are times developing so quickly?]
[My Mi 2 can still fight for another three years!]
[Victory for the Waiting Tribe!]
[If this phone doesn’t exist three years later, I want your head.]
[Amazing! I want to buy it!]
[Xiaomi already has a similar model called MIX Alpha. All you need is 19,999 yuan.]
[Who buys Xiaomi?]
[Who buys Xiaomi?!]
[I’m not buying, so put down your gun…]
[An epoch-making product! I won’t have to worry about small texts when reading adult comics anymore!]
…
At the same time, inside a police command vehicle located on the Xiaomi Science and Technology Park’s southern gate…
Lei Jun was currently sitting opposite of the middle-aged team leader and looking at the screen set up inside the vehicle.
When Lei Jun gazed upon the technological marvel in Chen Yu’s hands, he fell into deep thought as he muttered, “So, that’s how it should be made…”
