The forefront | Honor also made a folding screen mobile phone Magic V, priced at less than 10,000

After OPPO and Huawei released new folding screens, Honor also followed suit with the launch of folding screen Magic V.

Oppo pulled the folding screen price below 10,000, which is a stone invested in the industry, and the price of the folding screen of glory was stuck at 9999 yuan. At present, in the folding screen that has been released in China, only Huawei's price has reached 17999 yuan.

The Honor folding screen configuration is currently mainstream. 6.45 inch screen, screen ratio of 90%, the highest 120Hz refresh rate, the use of multi-curved nano microcrystalline external screen. The folded bearings use a droplet hinge structure with an inline thickness of 14.3 mm and a size of 7.9 inches when opened. Also using the water drop hinge are OPPO and Huawei P50 Pocket and Mate X2. The Samsung Z Fold, which is mainly sold overseas, uses a U-shaped hinge.

In terms of chips and cameras, Honor Magic V also uses mature technology, including Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip and 50 million pixel wide-angle camera, and the front camera is 42 million pixels. The 4750 mAh battery is arranged in a dual-battery system with a 66w fast charge.

The lowest version of this mobile phone is 9999 yuan, and the high version is only 10999 yuan, but in view of the OPPO folding screen price has reached 7999 yuan, and the number of appointments has exceeded one million, the glory folding screen sales actually have a lot of pressure.

But Glory doesn't need to worry too much. This market needs more players to enter the disk, OPPO even if the reservation volume reaches 1 million, as far as the current shipment of more than 70 million units in a quarter, it is still a small number, and glory is actually an incremental market.

Folding screen has obviously become a must for all manufacturers, OPPO folding screen is a turning point in the market, but it is far from reaching the influence of Xiaomi 1999 yuan more than a decade ago. Even if the price reaches 7999 yuan, this is still a small number of early adopters or B-end purchase options. The popularity of folding screens may require more patience from manufacturers.

In addition to the high price, unlike the early iPhone that had already defined the smart phone before Xiaomi, the folding screen did not have a strong enough brand to lead the trend. It can be expected that before the iPhone launched the folding screen, it will always be a market without a flashpoint.

Of course, in view of the fact that the form of "folding" ultimately represents the future trend, it is also wise for manufacturers to occupy the position in advance, and it is also a cost that must be invested. At the dawn of the day, enough technology and error accumulation are the first-mover advantage.
