As we all know, the current mainstream mobile phone screen is only OLED and LCD two materials, the former advantage is high energy saving saturation, bright colors, the latter advantage is eye protection, so both screens have clusters. In addition to the material is divided into two kinds, the form of the screen is also two, curved screen and straight screen, curved screen is more common in the flagship machine, and the straight screen due to low cost, almost covers all price segments except the flagship machine.
Users who have used curved screens may know that curved screens are not easy to use compared to straight screens, not only prone to accidental touch, but also often accompanied by insensitive phenomena on the edges of the screen. Recently, some fans also asked Xiao M, since everyone knows that the curved screen is not easy to use, why does the flagship machine that pays attention to the user experience still enjoy the curved screen?
As we all know, due to the seriousness of hardware homogenization in the mobile phone industry, mobile phone manufacturers have begun to gradually develop to the value of appearance, and the curved screen due to the curvature design on both sides, compared to the straight screen can bring us a more immersive visual sense, and with the fuselage can also bring us a light and thin feeling, while also excellent feel. Of course, whether it is the appearance of the mobile phone or the user's feel, it can enhance the user's experience. It is precisely for this reason that mobile phone manufacturers will like curved screens and will regard curved screens as treasures.
Speaking of this, some people will be curious, since the curved screen is so good, why not popularize to low-end machines? I have to say that's a good question. The reason why the curved screen has not been popularized is mainly because the curved screen is more complex than the straight screen manufacturing process, the cost is higher, and it is destined to be in the current stage of the curved screen can not be popularized to the low-end machine, after all, the low-end machine is mainly spelled out the cost, since there is a lower cost of the straight screen, who will use the high cost of the curved screen? Moreover, the curved screen is not suitable for fighting a price war. And as mentioned earlier, the hardware of the mobile phone has been homogenized very seriously, and it is obvious that the higher cost of the curved screen is applied to the high-end machine, in order to open the distance with the low-end model, it seems that the high-end machine is more advanced, and there is differentiation.
In addition to the more expensive manufacturing costs, the maintenance cost of the curved screen is also very high, and perhaps this is also a fundamental reason for the flagship machine to choose the curved screen. Although the phrase 'only choose the most expensive, not the best' is a bit outrageous, and there are some hooligans, it is very much in line with the psychology of high-consumption people. The flagship machine is basically not about any cost performance, and the curved screen is very intuitive in appearance, coupled with expensive maintenance costs, perhaps this can bring a sense of superiority to high-consumption groups, and also make this part of the people willingly pay for it!
So, is the curved screen not eliminated by the flagship machine? Of course not. Curved screen was first applied in Samsung S6 Edge, and in subsequent generations of Samsung flagship machine can see the figure of curved screen, until the Samsung S20 listing, we found that the direct screen returned again, which shows that the market has a demand for direct screen flagship. And how can manufacturers who are extremely sensitive to the market be unaware, I believe that in the near future, there will be more and more flagship machines returning to the direct screen!
