Pebble的创始人Eric创建了一个小屏安卓机的请愿网站 ,列了小屏机的优点、不用iphone 13 mini的原因。对于小屏安卓机的要求,大概是1、小于6寸的屏幕(比如5.6寸1080p 60hz打孔屏)
2、旗舰机级别的相机素质
3、原生安卓系统
让我觉得比较有道理的回复是下面这条:
Hi Eric, I'm a hardware startup guy myself (our paths have crossed) with the distinction that my own "very specific set of skills" has been honed at smartphone megacompanies and smartphone startups. OSOM, Essential, HTC, Samsung, Apple. I've designed and built a lot of phones. I'm building one now. I think this is a noble effort, I personally prefer pocketable phones too, but I think there are nigh-insurmountable hurdles in your paths forward.
- 1. Supply chain / component R&D -
You will be very, very hard pressed to source a pre-existing, high quality, non-exclusive 5.4" display with a hole punch. If you end up doing this as your own startup then you're going to start by trying to buy off the shelf parts to keep costs down. But that display you want is simply not on any of the development roadmaps for the major component manufacturers. The industry has its own momentum, and the component suppliers have also been looking at the trendlines so they are building bigger and bigger.
If you can't find the screen you want in a catalogue then you have to pay someone to build it. Convincing BOE et. al that your phone will sell enough to pay off R&D costs is unlikely, so be prepared to pay several million bucks in NRE to make it worth their time (it might still not be) and the wait a year for them to spin up the fabs. So ~$5M and 9-18 months later you have a display.
- 2. Big players are uninterested, not uninformed -
Big companies are drowning in market data. They know some people really, really want small phones. But it's a long-tail opportunity they're willfully ignoring, and people who need phones will still buy something even if reluctantly. I've been in the meetings, small phone advocacy goes nowhere.
Also I'm a little surprised you're hoping an online petition will work after your prior experience trying to influence your acquirers. I presume you saw the inside of Fitbit / Google and how decisions are made...
大概翻译一下是屏幕制造商都喜欢追潮流造越来越大的屏幕,所以需要花几百万刀造符合要求的屏幕,除此之外还需要等9-18月的生产周期。
主流手机制造商不是不知道小屏手机需求,而是不感兴趣,而且使用小屏手机的小众人群总是需要换手机的,即使不情愿,但是他们也只有大屏手机可以买。所以泥潭想要的小屏手机可能永远不会来了
