Chapter 388 Qualcomm's Light-Speed Cutting
"Don't even mention playing the racing game at the press conference. I tried playing a modified version of Plants vs. Zombies, and after 10 minutes, it started lagging as soon as the zombies appeared."
The CPU frequency dropped from 2.35GHz to 1GHz.
Fire Dragon 800? Fire Dragon 400 is more like it!
"The fast charging is indeed better than previous Xiaomi products. The claim at the launch event that it would be 50% faster is true. But you don't even look at how far behind Xiaomi's fast charging is compared to its competitors."
Also, is Qualcomm's fast charging protocol garbage? The phone gets so hot while charging that you can't even touch it.
I used a temperature gun to measure the temperature near the charging port, and it was 52 degrees Celsius. Is this charging or grilling meat?
"The ceramic white color is really beautiful and feels really comfortable, but I have to carry a portable power bank with me because the battery life is just too bad, and the ceramic back cover gets very hot when playing games."
Now I understand why they used a plastic frame; otherwise, it would be impossible to hold. It looks beautiful, but it gets incredibly hot.
Finally, tech blogger Dami Review also released a comparison video based on actual testing.
The same game was tested in the same room at the same time.
After running the modified version of Plants vs. Zombies on my Mi Note3 for 10 minutes, the highest temperature of the device reached 54.4 degrees Celsius.
In contrast, competing models equipped with the Taishan 910 processor only reach a maximum temperature of 39 degrees Celsius.
When the time was extended to 30 minutes, the temperature of the competitor's phone was only 41 degrees Celsius, while the temperature of the Xiaomi Note3 had dropped to 52 degrees Celsius...
It's not because of any advanced technology, it's just a simple case of lag and the chip automatically downclocking...
During the test, to ensure authenticity, the rice review didn't say anything, but such a huge piece of news doesn't seem to need any explanation.
"At the press conference, Lei Jun talked about the ceramic fairy for more than 20 minutes, and as a result, this ceramic became the best heat-conducting material."
"The Fire Dragon 800 is a pure, powerful heat-conducting device, paired with a ceramic back cover. It's a combination designed to keep your hands hot."
"Didn't Lei Jun boast about the Dragon 800's stable power consumption? Is this what stability looks like?"
"Need I say more about the person upstairs? Mr. Lei has been ignored by Qualcomm again! The chips they sent you were all specially selected, with relatively stable power consumption. The reference design will be sent after you sign the order..."
"It can only be said that Xiaomi has once again been used as a pawn by Qualcomm."
"The Mi Note3 is pretty good in every way. The ceramic back cover is really beautiful, and the system is really smooth."
But I really can't stand the overheating and battery life; I'm really torn between returning it or not.
The company that reacted fastest to this public opinion crisis was not the victim, Rice Company, but the mastermind behind it all, Qualcomm.
That afternoon, Qualcomm China issued a statement: "The power consumption design of the Snapdragon 800 chip fully complies with industry standards."
The chip exhibits stable and reliable temperature performance under normal operating conditions.
The heat dissipation solutions of some manufacturers have design flaws, which are unrelated to the performance of the chip itself.
In the comments section, Lazy Sheep's assistant once again became the top translator: "Simply put, it's not my problem, it's the rice's problem."
The problem now is that not only did the Mi Note 3 burn out, but all other phones equipped with the Snapdragon 800 also burned out.
This is truly a design flaw, and we don't need to elaborate on which company's design flaw it is.
Lazy Sheep's assistant's comment section was flooded with insults directed at Qualcomm, but Qualcomm quickly closed the comment section...
Start playing dead!
After all, if the Fire Dragon 800 couldn't handle it, then the next Fire Dragon 801... that's much more powerful than that, and this is just the beginning.
When Lei Jun saw the statement, he was in his office thinking about how to discuss countermeasures.
Upon seeing Qualcomm's blame-shifting agreement, he was so angry he wanted to cancel the Snapdragon 801 order.
What kind of teammate is that! Instead of discussing the issue and working together to find a solution, he betrayed him.
Lei Jun placed his phone face down on the table and then stood in front of the window.
Lin Bin, who had just finished working in another conference room, stood at the door, too afraid to come in.
As Lei Jun's friend, he knew that Lei Jun was very angry, but as the leader, he knew that throwing things would not solve the problem, but would only prove that he was incapable of solving it.
Lin Bin waited for a while, then found a chair and sat down, signaling the others to be quiet so that Lao Lei could think it over.
After about three to five minutes, Lei Jun finally turned his head back.
"Qualcomm is trying to shift the blame."
Although Lei Jun was still a bit angry, he tried his best to calm himself down. After all, as the leader, he couldn't just buzz around like a headless fly.
"They promised it would have a power consumption of 800, and they even patted their chests and guaranteed it."
We postponed the launch of the Daming Note3 for a long time in order to wait for this chip.
The initial ceramic back cover was so difficult to manufacture, and the yield rate was so low, but we persevered.
Now that a problem has arisen, they say it's not their fault.
Everyone else present lowered their heads. Lin Bin wanted to speak, but Lei Jun didn't give him a chance.
"The story I told at the press conference..." Lei Jun lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.
"That old man Tanaka, although he speaks to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way, what he says actually makes a lot of sense."
A good piece of porcelain is created by waiting in the kiln, and a good product should be created in the same way.
It can't be rushed.
But what about myself?
He walked back to his seat, sat down, and slumped into the chair.
"We spent so much time making the ceramic back cover, and even found a ceramic expert from abroad. We originally wanted to make a perfect product."
But a fire dragon disrupted all their plans.
However, what Lei Jun didn't mention was that they shortened the heat dissipation testing time. Originally, the heat dissipation testing was supposed to take at least two months, but it was launched in less than a month.
As he spoke, Lei Jun sighed again.
"That old bastard Tanaka didn't lie to me; I lied to myself."
The office was very quiet. After all, even the usually mild-mannered CEO Lei had started swearing, which clearly showed how much this incident had affected him.
"Recall them!"
Lei Jun's voice was so low that the others in the office almost couldn't hear him.
"recall."
Lin Bin's eyes widened instantly; he wondered if he had misheard.
"Mr. Lei, that's 22 units."
Recalling these 200,000+ units will result in losses of at least 100 million yuan, not even counting the supply chain issues…
"If we don't recall them, this rice brand is finished!"
Lei Jun was at a loss, after all, the Note3 was the first product that brought him back to the domestic market after shifting his focus from India, and it did sell quite well on its initial launch...
