Chapter 977: The Progress of the Era
It didn’t take long for the first-generation smartphone to emerge. Although it’s just the first-generation smartphone, it’s actually not ordinary at all.
After all, phones before smartphones basically only had the call function.
Other functions did exist, but none were really important, not even text messaging was that convenient. And now, this phone not only has strong calling abilities but can also smoothly conduct video chats.
Even the text messaging function is very fast, almost comparable to WeChat.
It’s just that there are fewer functions, and it’s not that these functions can’t be achieved, but because the software isn’t keeping up for now.
As long as Zhao Shan and his team have time, or if more manpower is given to them, they can definitely quickly realize all these things. Once the software keeps up, producing smartphones directly would be no problem.
Since it’s based on magic, the requirements for terminal hardware aren’t very high.
However, the core is ultimately an alchemy product, so the price is still high, with a selling price of one aluminum coin.
On the day the phones were sold, long lines formed in front of various sales points. After all, in Zhao Guang’s territory, the people earn money very quickly; just one aluminum coin, they can still come up with it.
Then, in various places, you would see people loudly talking on their phones.
Whether they were testing it or showing off to others was unclear.
The price wasn’t the main thing they were showing off; at first, production wasn’t that much, so those who got one from the start either had good luck or had some connections to cut the line.
