The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 261: 261:The Next Gen Event



The moment she said that the phone immediately displayed its home screen, where it didn\'t linger for long since she quickly opened the front-facing camera without any delay, all by using voice commands.

"Now, let\'s cast it to the screens behind me," she said. The phone understood her command and opened the connection page, which showed all the available screens she could share the live feed of the camera. "Connect to all of them."

With that, all three screens behind Aria lit up with the live feed from the phone, the image was crisp and clear beyond anything anyone had ever seen.

"It really is from the phone\'s actual camera feed, not one from a high-quality professional studio camera," Aria said, turning around and taking a selfie with the audience in the background so as to display the shot on the big screens behind her.

"Make it cool and post it on my Twitter account," she then instructed, and the screens behind her that were still displaying what was on her phone showed the AI assistant editing the image.

With every editing pass displayed as a line that passed from the top to the bottom of the screen, the newly enhanced image above and the pre-enhanced photo below the picture became clearer and more polished. After a few passes, everyone in the audience could easily pick out their individual faces in crystal-clear resolution.

The assistant then opened the Twitter app and Aria logged into it, her password displaying as a series of asterisks and the two-factor authentication blurred on the shared screens.

After successfully logging in, she added a caption, while the assistant suggested and added hashtags before posting the image to her Pangea account.

The audience went silent for a few minutes as they opened their own individual Twitter accounts and found the picture Aria had just posted, the next instant, they erupted into raucous applause and cheers; they all knew the process of what had happened, and it was impossible to fake because they could see themselves in the picture, confirming that it was genuine!

"As you can see, the photo quality is pretty high despite being taken in a dimly lit room with a front-facing camera. And with the lens placed right in the center of the screen, instead of at the top, you can even look yourself in the eye as you take pictures," she said, drawing chuckles from the influencers in the audience.

"The same level of tech is incorporated in the speakers, which use our proprietary SLAS SpeakerLess Audio System. Instead of generating sound with a traditional vibrating speaker, we accomplish the same result using advanced wavefront manipulation and acoustic technology to generate sound directly in the air, essentially forming \'sound holograms\'—eliminating the need for physical speakers entirely and allowing the sound to be projected freely anywhere in three dimensions."

"And you\'re currently experiencing that very technology right now," Aria continued as her sound seemed to \'float\' around the auditorium instead of the stage as if someone was messing with the mixer. Halfway through the introduction, everyone in the audience heard her words in English in their right ear and their native languages in their left ear, depending on which ear they focused on. And when they turned to the people next to them and asked if they had heard the same, the affirmative response caused another round of applause.

"Since you\'ve personally experienced it, this technology can help us create personalized sound zones in a room, allowing each person to hear a different audio stream without the need for headphones. That\'ll be particularly beneficial for shared spaces like living rooms or vehicles. Currently, though, the phone version is limited in the number of zones it can create.

"Now, let\'s look at one of the most important main features of the Nex One. Our \'ecosystem,\' that\'s been made possible by our G-chip, allows for instant, large-scale data transfers between two compatible devices within a range of 500 meters. Thanks to that, anyone using one of our new phones will be able to transfer any file with their friends even if they\'re a couple of football fields away. That\'s also the range limit of our wireless earphones and speakers, which also use our proprietary SLAS and will be released alongside the phone as peripheral devices," she said and then paused to wait for the resulting applause to end.

"Naturally, any device that has all these features demands ample power to support them, and we\'ve all seen phones running out of battery at the worst possible times. To that, I say there\'s no need to worry with our Nex One—you can use it with everything maxed out for 24 hours continuously on a full charge. For more normal usage, you can expect the battery to last anywhere from four days to a week without needing a charging session. And when you do need to charge it, our new proprietary fast-charge system will take these batteries from zero to full in just under an hour and a half."

"Now, something I\'m sure you all want to know about—the price," she said, then paused as the screens behind her showed the three versions of the phone they were launching. "We are offering three initial versions of the Nex One. Though each different size is for aesthetics alone, their capabilities are identical, so the size difference is the only difference. The starting price for the Nex One is $799, the Nex One Pro is $1,099, and the Nex One Plus is at $1,299."

But before everyone could conclude, the corner of Aria\'s lips curled up and she made the final dash.

"We also have a Nex One Mini, with a lighter processor and slightly lesser camera resolution with similar other capabilities at just $199."

The audience let out a collective gasp, as they had expected that the phone would at least cost $2000 and that itself would be a break-even price or even a loss. Everything that had been introduced about the phone was proprietary tech, meaning, they assumed that the company had to absorb the full cost of research and development, plus manufacturing, instead of just licensing or buying previously existing patents.

But the most shocking one was the Nex One Mini!
