Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 464 Google's Sophistry Conference

As for the unlucky guy at this press conference, it was Dave Burke, since he was the one who proposed the plan, so he naturally had to bear the consequences!

At 10:4 AM on April 5th, after a period of intense preparation, Google officially launched this impromptu press conference.

Previously, this place was only used to launch major new products, and the lights on site always seemed to be guiding humanity toward a bright future.

But today the light seems a bit dim, and the partners are quite angry, to say the least, they wish they could tear Google apart.

Meanwhile, the reporters in the audience kept making noise, trying to get the most important questions out of the audience.

Transsion seemed to be enjoying the show during this emergency press conference.

Once all the guests had arrived, Dave Burke walked onto the stage accompanied by two public relations personnel.

He specifically asked the makeup artist to style him today, making him look even more tired to prove that they were indeed working hard, but this result was caused by the board's choice.

After all, they really did try...

After walking onto the stage, he cleared his throat and reluctantly began reading his prepared speech:

"Dear media friends and partners, hello everyone."

First of all, thank you for your interest in Android version 4.4.3.

In response to recent reports from some developers regarding full-screen compatibility issues, Google's Android team has taken the matter very seriously and has assembled a core technical team to investigate and fix the problem.

The main reason for these issues is the wide variety of Android devices, leading to minor compatibility differences in different application scenarios. We will release the first patch within two weeks and continue to optimize the full-screen experience…

Dave Burke then went on to say that this was just a gray-scale test, not a public release, and as for what was mentioned in the previous report… that was just a temporary worker sending the wrong file, and they had already handled it internally.

But before he could finish reading...

The reporters in the audience interrupted him, since these questions were pointless!

"Mr. Dave Burke, we have received a report from Google's internal testing team, which shows that the full-screen module in version 4.4.3 has 21 core APIs with empty implementations..."

We don't need to elaborate on these issues, do we?

Did Google know about these serious issues before officially releasing this version?

If they knew, why release it as the official version and claim that developers didn't need to do any additional development?

Dave Burke immediately spotted the PR team next to him. This was the result they described as having been screened to ensure the issues wouldn't be too intense.

The staff member next to him frowned, clearly unaware of the issue.

Dave Burke finally understood: they'd been sold out!

"This is a misunderstanding of the version. When we said no additional cost is required, we meant the basic equipment for standard applications. Some advanced functions in special scenarios require additional debugging..."

And you interrupted me just now, otherwise you might have heard the answer to this question.

The reporter also looked at him very politely, wanting to know what answer he could give.

Dave Burke cleared his throat again, and without any blushing, said:

"This is just a gray-scale test version, allowing developers to perform initial adaptations based on this framework, and we can work together to improve the Android ecosystem."

As a result, some manufacturers violated compatibility rules, which further exacerbated system crashes, significantly increasing our workload.

"An illegal test?"

The Bloomberg reporter next to him immediately stood up, also with a smile on his face.

This smile made Dave Burke wonder if Transsion had spent money behind the scenes.

"Mr. Burke, to my knowledge, the Android Developers Alliance has received bug reports from 1200 million apps, covering almost every possible problem situation."

Furthermore, even the system's built-in settings, camera, and contacts are currently displaying abnormalities. Is this considered a few special scenarios?

Moreover, as far as I know, it usually takes 1 to 2 years to develop an Android project, but this time it only took a little over two months.

Did Google deliberately cut the testing phase and force a half-finished product onto its entire ecosystem in order to be the first to claim the title of the second full-screen system before Apple?

The reporters in the audience started murmuring again, but the developers who couldn't attend were already cursing on the forum again!

"If he were a half-finished product, that would be fine, but he's not even a half-finished product!"

"This is the problem with Android; they're too impatient!"

Many viewers in the live stream were also amused: "Looks like our rice company's truly self-developed full-screen design is out of the question!"

"This rice company should have died long ago. We don't need another company making value-for-money products; you could use that money to buy a Honor phone!"

"They're a well-known name in Kyoto's mobile phone industry, that's one reason. Another reason is that the American supply chain can't afford to let them fail, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to break through from within!"

"But I feel like all the money the US is throwing away will eventually go down the drain, since they can't compare to Transsion!"

"There's no comparison, but their gimmick is great—they can keep training monkeys!"

Meanwhile, the real pressure exerted by the U.S. Department of Science and Technology wanted to cut off the live broadcast, because if Dave Burke said anything wrong again, the U.S. technology sector would really be ruined!

Dave Burke looked a little nervous on set; a light sweat had already formed on his forehead!

He reached for the water glass on the table, took a sip, and then steadied his voice.

Innovation in the mobile industry has always been accompanied by risks, and rapid iteration is an advantage of the Android ecosystem.

We acknowledge that there are areas for improvement in this version, but it is by no means a half-finished product. Google has the capability to perfect all features in a short period of time.

Sundar Pichai was able to catch his breath, but Burke held on.

But before they could catch their breath, a Chinese science and technology journalist sitting in the back, after getting a chance to ask a question, steered the conversation toward a name that everyone was waiting for.

"Mr. Burke, as early as last year, Transsion Holdings Group of China launched a full-screen mobile phone in the global market."

Their self-developed Taishan system, based on the Taishan display framework, has achieved seamless adaptation to third-party applications, with a compatibility rate of over 90% for commonly used apps.

Google, the mentor of the TaiShan system, has released a native full-screen solution that is riddled with flaws.

How would you evaluate Transsion's technical solution? Do you believe that Android's technological accumulation in the system field has fallen behind that of the TaiShan system?

As soon as he finished speaking, all the camera shutters on site were pointed at the reporter and Dave Burke on the stage.

After asking so many questions, this one is the truly lethal one!

This is the first time that the technological gap between China and the United States has been laid bare!
