Huawei completes the double-fold flagship layout
As one of the important manufacturers in the folding screen mobile phone market, Huawei launched a horizontal folding screen mobile phone as early as 2019. At this conference, Huawei released the vertical folding "Huawei P50 Treasure Box".
The "Huawei P50 Treasure Box" belongs to the Huawei P series, which not only inherits the aesthetics and imaging genes of the Huawei P series, but also upgrades the folding form, image technology, and use experience in a multi-faceted way. Relying on HarmonyOS, the "Huawei P50 Treasure Box" has created a new interactive experience for folding mobile phones, which can experience innovative interactions through the outer screen, and can complete the operation of major functions such as notifications, music, and payments without flipping the lid.
Yu Chengdong said that the release of the mobile phone marks that Huawei has completed the dual-line layout of the Mate and P series folding flagships, thus officially entering the era of double-folding flagships. Huawei has also become the only brand in the industry to launch three folding forms of folding mobile phones: external folding, inward folding, and vertical folding.
CICC said that with the maturity of technology and the decline in prices, the shipment of folding screen mobile phones is expected to usher in rapid growth. Southwest Securities expects that in 2022, the global shipment volume of folding screen mobile phones will reach 18 million to 20 million units, an increase of more than 100% year-on-year. Consumers' potential demand for smartphone large-screen portability is far from being met, and the penetration rate of folding screen mobile phones still has room for substantial improvement in the future.
