Could a mobile phone replace a PDA?
To the players of the parallel world, the answer was obvious: Of course it could.
This was because the functions of a mobile phone and a PDA overlapped. They were both portable devices and could both play games. Moreover, the specs of a mobile phone were already very high, and could play large scale games of tens of gigabytes.
Moreover, mobile phones had many advantages that a PDA couldn't compare to.
On one hand, everyone had a smartphone, which meant that everyone was a potential user of mobile games. On the other hand, mobile phones had the ability to connect to the internet, and there were more users. For game developers, it would be easier to make online games with more users.
If that was the case, why would most people spend two or three thousand RMB on a standalone PDA to play games?
It didn't make sense!
Therefore, the people of this world didn't realize the potential of a PDA.
But Chen Mo didn't think so.
Mobile phones would never replace PDA. This wasn't a problem that could be solved by technology alone. It was a result of the different positioning of the two products.
In Chen Mo's previous world, regardless of whether it was a PDA or a PDA, the buttons were relatively fixed. There had to be two physical joysticks and more than ten physical buttons.
Obviously, these physical joysticks and buttons couldn't be placed on a mobile phone, as they were completely different from the positioning of the mobile phone itself.
For a mobile phone, making calls, sending messages, and using various software were the main functions of a mobile phone. Playing games was only one of its secondary functions.
Therefore, no mobile phone manufacturer would add physical joysticks and buttons to a mobile phone that had no other use other than playing games.
Ultimately, there was one thing: mobile phones weren't a professional game console, so playing games was only one of its secondary functions.
Mobile phones couldn't be used solely for games, so the experience of core games couldn't be maximized.
Moreover, regardless of whether it was a PDA or a PDA, its true vitality lay in the core games on it. Some games couldn't be ported to a mobile phone no matter what.
In other words, the difference between a mobile phone and a PDA wasn't determined by the level of technology, but by the positioning of the two products. Their main functions were different, so they could never be the same.
Of course, there was also the possibility that with the development of technology, people could enter a virtual world with a virtual reality helmet or a pair of virtual reality glasses.
If that was the case, then not only PDA, but mobile and PC gaming devices would also be obsolete.
Even if there was a new device that replaced the handheld, it didn't mean that the handheld was dead. It could only be said that the new device became the new handheld.
So from the looks of it, the handheld device and the mobile phone, as two devices with different functions, could coexist. If players wanted to experience some professional hardcore games, they would have to use a handheld to achieve that.
The handheld that Chen Mo wanted to design was to fill in the blanks of the parallel world.
Of course, since there weren't any handheld manufacturers in China in the parallel world, Chen Mo had to start from scratch.
But starting from scratch didn't mean that they had to start from scratch one by one.
In the era of globalization, the production of a mobile phone often required the cooperation of many parties. Its components might come from different manufacturers around the world, and the real developer only needed to provide the design.
In fact, some R&D companies could even buy the design plans, and they could still produce the cell phones, as long as they could sell the cell phones.
There were some similarities between handhelds and mobile phones, so Chen Mo considered contacting some of the more reliable mobile phone developers in China.
…
Two days later, Lin Xiao handed over a report to Chen Mo.
"Manager, this is the report of some of the mobile phone manufacturers. I've contacted some industry insiders and talked to the executives of these companies. The general situation is in the report, please take a look."
Chen Mo nodded, "Alright, thanks."
He took a closer look at the report of the mobile phone manufacturers.
Similar to his previous world, there were many different mobile phone brands in this world.
The domestic mobile phone industry was doing quite well, even better than Chen Mo's previous world. Some of the technology had even surpassed the technology of his previous world.
After all, there was a lot of advanced technology in this world, so it was normal for it to surpass the technology of his previous world.
After careful selection, Chen Mo chose a mobile phone developer called Lehui.
This developer called Lehui was also a new developer that had risen in recent years. Compared to other established developers, their main selling point was their high quality-price ratio, as well as being able to interact with popular mobile games on the market.
Their meticulously designed mobile phone models were all made to target the popular mobile games on the market. For example, the one thousand RMB phone could interact with popular games on the market, while the two thousand RMB, three thousand RMB, and even five thousand RMB phones could interact with popular mobile games.
In other words, if you wanted to play a popular game, choosing a phone that matched Lehui's price was the best choice, as it was cheap and easy to use.
This marketing strategy helped Lehui quickly take over the younger generation market. At the same time, Lehui's phone also had a good reputation among gamers.
It could be seen from the name Lehui. 'Lehui' meant to bring joy to everyone, and 'Hui' meant to be more affordable. At the same time, it highlighted the features of this phone in terms of gaming and quality-price ratio.
The reason why Chen Mo chose this company was because they had a good sense of smell in the video game industry. They would be able to communicate with each other more easily. On the other hand, they were able to control their costs very strictly. This would be a great help in the development of the handheld.
It didn't take long before Chen Mo contacted the person in charge of Lehui, and arranged to meet with the CEO at Lehui's headquarters in three days.
…
The founder and CEO of Lehui was called Zhou Jiangping.
Zhou Jiangping was quite a famous figure in the IT industry in China. He had a background in technology, and was different from those founders who liked to scam investors.
Many people thought that Zhou Jiangping was one of the more serious founders in China.
Of course, Lehui and Zhou Jiangping were surprised that Chen Mo was able to contact them.
Chen Mo's Thunderbolt Entertainment was one of the giants in the Chinese video game industry. It was a very influential video game developer and distributor.
