(6) Nintendo recruitment hints at a new generation of consoles

A recent job posting from Nintendo has sparked speculation among players about its new generation of consoles.

(10) Lei Jun responded "Can you make some small size mobile phones?"

Recently, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun shared the user-oriented positioning of the Xiaomi 13 series on social platforms:

Xiaomi 13, for mass users, small size mobile phone, super good feeling, support four narrow edge screen, Leica triple camera, telephoto, IP68, etc.

Xiaomi Mi 13Ultra, photography enthusiast or photographer, camera sense design, Leica Summicron lens, dual telephoto.

Xiaomi 13pro, digital enthusiasts, technology is all full, Leica triple camera, 1-inch outsole, 120W fast charge, ceramic body, etc.

In related Weibo, some netizens asked Lei Jun, "Can I make some small-sized mobile phones?" Lei Jun responded to this, "Xiaomi 13 is already very good, and the width of the iPhone 14 is exactly the same, finding a balance in the screen size and feel." If the size is smaller, first of all, the consumer group is too small, and the sales volume cannot support the research and development cost of the flagship mobile phone. Secondly, the size is small, which has an impact on the camera and battery life. ”
