7: Chapter 7 disassembly reveals an even more outrageous system?

Chen Shuyu also gazed at the "artwork" that had appeared before her once again, and she skillfully pressed the power button.

"Snap—"

The screen instantly lit up.

A minimalist lock screen wallpaper greeted everyone's eyes.

On a vast grassland, a gray kitten was lazily licking its paw, its fur rendered in exquisite detail.

In the conference room, the sound of breathing seemed to be sucked away in that moment.

The image had no boundaries, no constraints; it was just there, so realistic that it seemed as if it were about to spill onto the table.

"Two millimeters... the bezel is only two millimeters!"

A voice suppressed with intense trembling rang out; it was the hardware supervisor, Li Huairong.

His eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at the edge of the phone, as if he had witnessed a miracle.

This number represented an insurmountable chasm in modern mobile industrial design.

And now, it had appeared, just like that, on a real device.

Li Huairong's Adam's Apple bobbed violently. He looked at Chen Shuyu, his voice hoarse as if he hadn't had water in days.

"Secretary Chen... may I... may I touch it?"

His tone was not a request, but almost a humble pilgrimage.

"Of course," Chen Shuyu said calmly, "but be careful. It hasn't been fully encapsulated yet; it's just an engineering prototype."

Li Huairong held his breath, extended his slightly trembling hands, and solemnly took the phone.

It felt cool to the touch, yet it made his heart race wildly.

He didn't swipe immediately but instead used a professional and demanding gaze to tilt the phone, inspecting the structure of the screen assembly bezel.

Perfect!

Flawless!

He examined the screen carefully under the light again, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

"This... how is this possible!!"

Li Huairong shouted involuntarily, "The screen-to-body ratio... the screen-to-body ratio must be at least 97%! And the screen ribbon cable and IC must be hidden behind the screen. What kind of godly design is this?!"

As soon as he said this, the entire conference room erupted.

All the department heads, disregarding their professional image, stood up one after another, crowded around Li Huairong, and stared fixedly at the phone.

"My God, it's no different from the concept image projected!"

"The front camera is even shaped like a water drop, yet the screen still displays normally?"

"What about the motherboard stacking on the back... damn, it's even more ingenious than the peak design led by Zhang Yuqing. The space utilization is maxed out!"

Li Huairong heard his colleagues' words, which were exactly what he wanted to say.

He took a deep breath and lightly swiped his finger across the screen.

Unlocked.

There was not the slightest delay; the animation unfolded as smooth as silk, and the desktop icons appeared neatly before his eyes.

"Edge touch... absolutely no accidental touches!"

Li Huairong exclaimed!

It's not that they hadn't tried similar things in their lab, but the touch algorithm for the screen edge was a hell-level problem; accidental touches and missed touches were impossible to solve perfectly!

Yet this phone before him was like a natural work of art; those common problems simply didn't exist.

"The R-corner of this screen isn't a simple circle; it's a cubic Bézier curve!"

Li Huairong was stunned by this gentle aesthetic.

But in his heart, he was extremely terrified.

This required extremely high production standards and couldn't be achieved just by talking about it.

Currently, the Android camp still uses quarter-circle R-corners.

Only Apple's R-corners use G2 continuous curvature.

The so-called R-corner refers to the four corners of the device.

While examining it, Li Huairong used a pen to record some information in his personal meeting notes.

"Let me see too!" Nearby, other department heads or deputy heads craned their necks, speaking impatiently.

Reluctantly, Li Huairong handed the Full-screen display phone in his hand to the person next to him.

Almost everyone, the moment they held the phone, was shocked by this narrow-bezel Full-screen display.

"The gap for the earpiece is so small; this has almost reached the limit!"

"As expected, achieving this kind of irregular screen is the best arrangement for the front camera!"

"The bottom bezel is also very narrow. The Guanghui Technology 6... no, the samsung s8 has a chin of 7 millimeters,"

Each head or deputy head expressed their own opinions. But mostly, they were just exclamations.

Yet behind these exclamations was an irrepressible fanaticism.

Every technical supervisor present felt their heart as if they had just engaged in intense exercise, their blood boiling incessantly.

In their minds, they had already begun to uncontrollably imagine things.

If... if this technology could be fully mastered by Guanghui Technology and used on the next generation of flagship phones...

It would detonate the entire mobile phone industry. It would be a dimensionality-reduction strike against existing mobile phone manufacturers!

They still vaguely remembered the samsung s8 launch event on the night of March 29th at 11:00 PM.

That sentence: "Today, we proudly mark the beginning of a new era in smartphone design, an era without edges and boundaries, giving you Galaxy S8 and S8 plus!"

But in front of this Full-screen display, the Note8 that Samsung would undoubtedly release at the end of the year? Apple's iPhone8? The Xiaomi 6 that Xiaomi would release at the end of the year? Or even the Huawei Mate10? All of them would be reduced to mere little brothers!!

By then, Guanghui Technology would no longer be the chaser. It would be the various flagships coming to imitate Guanghui Technology's new generation of flagship.

For these technical personnel, personally creating an epoch-making flagship mobile device—this temptation even surpassed money and status. It was a kind of glory that made the soul tremble.

Of course, what made them even more curious was: who conquered this Full-screen display technology with this brand-new packaging solution?

This kind of vision and technology regarding epoch-making science and technology simply crushed them.

When everyone had finished carefully passing it around, the phone returned to Chen Shuyu's hands.

She took in everyone's gazes, which were mixed with longing and awe; everything was within Su Qingxue's expectations.

Chen Shuyu did not say much, but simply followed Su Qingxue's instructions from on the way and quickly arranged the work.

However, seeing these usual technical bigwigs before her showing such expressions, she also became curious: which master was it who personally handled and conquered this Full-screen display technology?

And when did Su Qingxue recruit this master? Even she, a best friend who had grown up with her and was like family, didn't know.

The meeting ended.

That phone, which looked like it came from the future, was solemnly handed over to the R&D center's hardware department. Of course, procedures similar to an "Engineering Prototype Handover Confirmation Form" were also completed.

Li Huairong held it as if he were holding his own ancestor, the excitement and thrill on his face almost overflowing.

He promised Chen Shuyu that he would complete the disassembly and technical analysis of the screen assembly on the premise of absolutely not damaging a single component.

Bidding farewell to Chen Shuyu, Li Huairong almost jogged all the way to the hardware department's core laboratory.

Swiping to open the heavy isolation door and changing into a cleanroom suit, he found the laboratory already brightly lit.

The team members of the hardware department had already been assembled into a group by him, waiting for his orders.

The Guanghui Technology laboratory had the highest cleanroom standards in the industry, displaying all kinds of top-tier equipment.

Li Huairong placed the phone on the anti-static operation table, and everyone's eyes focused there, waiting for his instructions.

"Begin," Li Huairong ordered: "Group A, take the device motherboard to do software system detection and analysis. Group B, prepare the heating device and cutting tools. Group C, conduct material analysis and thickness and optical property analysis on the cover glass, touch sensor, polarizer, and OLED light-emitting layer."

He also personally put on anti-static gloves.

Soon, ten minutes passed, and the screen assembly was slowly disassembled under precise operation.

Just as the work here was in full swing, Engineer Xiao Zhao, who was responsible for software and system monitoring, stared fixedly at the monitoring screen in front of him, his mouth opening wider and wider.

On his side, he had only received the motherboard and battery, while the screen was directly connected to the laboratory's monitoring instrument, and the operation was done using ADB-level control.

His task was to monitor the system operation data of this phone. At first, he was only attracted by its extreme smoothness. Soon, he discovered something wrong.

He kept opening one application after another and closing them again, his eyes glued to the screen.

"Li... Engineer Li..." Xiao Zhao's voice carried a hint of trembling, along with a ghost-like disbelief.

Li Huairong was irritably using a microscope to check the ribbon cable data. Hearing this, he turned around impatiently: "Don't be so jumpy. If the data is abnormal, retest it!"

"No... it's not..." Xiao Zhao turned around abruptly, pointing at the monitoring screen, speaking extremely fast: "Its animation... its zoom animation is too smooth and comfortable!"

"Look!" In front of everyone, he clicked an application again. Everyone knew it was the most commonly used communication software, Penguin.

The icon did not, like other Android devices or iOS, linearly and slowly expand from the center to full screen, without many animation processes.

Instead, at the moment of expansion, there was a subtle overlay between the icon itself and the main application page.

Moreover, the speed of the icon animation was not constant; instead, it dynamically adjusted based on the speed between his finger's tap and release.

This made every opening and closing of an application not feel like executing a command, but like using a finger to truly "pull" something open and "flick" it back!

This interaction logic simply crushed all mobile devices on the market.

"Non-linear dynamic overlay... and damping-level animation scaling!" Xiao Zhao was stunned. "This requires the underlying system to have terrifying collaborative capabilities for touch sampling and graphics rendering!"

Li Huairong's pupils contracted suddenly. He stood up from his chair, rushed to Xiao Zhao, stared at the monitoring screen, but couldn't help but want to laugh: "That idiot Chief System Architect Zhang Chen, holding this phone, didn't even realize how strong its system optimization is!"

Just now in the conference room, the several technical department heads had almost all operated this Full-screen display phone a little bit. But they only felt the system was very smooth, and didn't pay much attention to the UI interaction animations.

Now looking at it, this phone's system optimization simply crushed the "Guanghui UI6.0" that was still in the internal testing stage. This discovery was no less significant than the Full-screen display with its narrow bezels.
