From the second half of 2021, major mobile phone manufacturers have invariably joined the research and development ranks of folding screen mobile phones. According to the survey data of the well-known market research agency DSCC, in the third quarter of 2021, the total shipments of folding screen mobile phones increased by 215% month-on-month and 480% year-on-year.
In the past month, the domestic mobile phone manufacturer oppo first released its first folding screen mobile phone OPPO Find N, followed by Huawei released the folding screen mobile phone Huawei P50 treasure box, and on the 10th of this month, Glory released the first folding screen mobile phone Glory Magic V. Related news shows that in the first half of this year, Vivo and Xiaomi will also release their own folding screen new mobile phones. Relevant experts predict that according to the development of this trend, the shipment of folding screen mobile phones in 2022 is expected to exceed 20 million units, which will become a new growth point for smart phones in the future. The current folding screen mobile phone price is very high, if you want to experience a friend who is shy, you can rent one on the "everyone rent" free of charge, as long as a few dollars a day!
Many users have questions in their hearts, whether the folding screen mobile phone is the right direction for the new development direction of the next mobile phone, and can it be popularized to the public in the future? Next, Xiao Rent will talk to you about this problem on his own views!
At present, the folding screen mobile phone is mainly two forms, the first is a folding screen mobile phone with folding up and down like huawei P50 treasure box. This kind of mobile phone is to fold the original conventional form of mobile phone, become more compact and easy to carry, but in terms of function and the current bar mobile phone is not much different.
Folding up and down folding screen mobile phones, while making it small and easy to carry, bring a problem, that is, when usually used, there is more than one folding action, far less convenient than the current straight mobile phone to pick up and use. In terms of product user experience, we as users always want the fewer actions the better, and the more worry-free the better. It can be said that the folding screen mobile phone has its own trade-offs in terms of user experience, and under the premise that the price can be reduced, it is a good mobile phone form, but it is certainly not the final solution accepted by all users.
Another form is similar to oppo Find N and Honor Magic V folding left and right, with a folding screen form with a second screen. To put it bluntly, it's about adding a phone to a tablet. This form of mobile phone is not a particularly good direction in the long run, people are pursuing less and less things in the form of mobile phones, such as fewer and fewer buttons, fewer and fewer holes, so that it is more efficient when used.
More folding open box lid action, and a larger and thicker volume and heavier mobile phone, to change a larger screen, this is more increased in the cost of use, so that users who bought a folding screen mobile phone, just bought when they felt very fresh, but after a long time found that more times to use the actual second screen.
Folding screen mobile phone is a good attempt to develop the future direction of mobile phones, but Xiao Rent believes that even if the future price of folding screen is reduced, it cannot completely replace the current position of straight mobile phones. After all, the straight mobile phone still has the advantage of folding screen irreplaceable, in the future, if there is no folding screen mobile phone brought by the freshness bonus, I believe that most users will choose to return to the straight screen mobile phone.
