Since the advent of the first folding screen mobile phone in 2018, this mobile phone category has attracted much attention and controversy. After many iterations, the process gradually matured today, folding screen mobile phone ushered in a wave of small outbreaks, just happened that Glory released its first folding screen mobile phone Magic V not long ago, how strong is it?
What the appearance reflects is essentially practicality. For the practicality of folding screen mobile phones, different mobile phone manufacturers have different ideas. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold3 launched by the veteran folding screen mobile phone manufacturer Samsung, in order to enhance the sense of grip, chose to make the outer screen into a style with a fish screen, coupled with the ideal weight control, making it look very slender and capable, and it does not fall into the hand. But the long, narrow outer screen sacrifices some of the practicality of the screen.
The Understanding of the Honor Magic V is somewhat different. The outer screen should be practical, so it is a 6.45-inch OLED screen, the 21.3:9 length-to-width ratio is more like a straight board machine, the screen accounts for 90%, which can complete all the experience of the normal straight board machine; the body thickness is about 6.7mm when the screen is unfolded, and the two sides are equally thick, in the folding form, the fuselage is symmetrical around the perimeter, and this balanced visual effect is indeed better than Samsung's irregular baseball shape. The presentation of the camera module is also more atmospheric, honor officials call it a "three-body star ring" design, and use more difficult to manufacture 3D hyperbolic lens glass to reduce the projection of the camera module.
More importantly, it is also a folding screen, but the depth and shape of the crease have obvious differences. This actually refers to the two main camps in the hinge form at present, the U-shape and the water drop type.
The U-shaped hinge looks irregular from the side in the shape of a bat
The U-hinge is represented by Samsung. Samsung's U-shaped hinge has been used for three generations, the advantages and disadvantages of this form are very obvious, its structure is simple, easy to quickly produce and subsequent improvements, such as the newly added multi-angle spin stop function; at the same time, its requirements for material will not be particularly high, can control the cost well; but correspondingly, because the folding method is directly folded in half, the folding radius is small, the crease is very obvious, and in the closed state, the fuselage will leave gaps, the sealing is not good enough, and the appearance is not flat enough.
The teardrop hinge has a clever idea in the internal structure, in this hinge form, the screen has a larger folding radius when folded, the crease is shallower, and the screen in the closed state is tightly sewn around. However, the structure of the teardrop hinge is more complex, and in order to ensure the robustness of the hinge and the stability of the opening and closing, some new materials will be used, such as the Honor Magic V, which uses zirconium-based liquid metal and carbon fiber inside the hinge, and titanium alloys are also used to ensure the strength of the screen.
In addition to the hinge, another element that determines the comprehensive quality of the folding screen mobile phone is the bendable material. Early folding screen mobile phones, without exception, used CPI film, because under the technical conditions at that time, CPI should be regarded as the only ideal material.
UTG Glass
But starting with the Samsung Z Fold 2, the UTG debuted on stage. It not only has good bendability, but also effectively reduces creases, and more importantly, it is a piece of glass with an innate good light transmittance.
The cost of a CPI is comparable to that of a UTG
Does this mean that UTG is about to unify the world? From the results, CPI obviously did not withdraw from the historical stage, and after many technical improvements, the light transmittance of CPI has not been much different from UTG, and through other technical means to assist, but also to achieve new performance improvements. For example, the Honor Magic V has added a magnetron nano optical film to the inner screen, which has been realized
So, how much the actual practicality of the Honor Magic V has improved, we will know at a glance.
First of all, the screen, here is actually the need to talk about the experience of the outer screen, whether it is the Glory Magic V or Huawei Mate X2, there is a piece of external screen and the same as the straight phone, the experience is the same as the large-screen flagship phone, and the Samsung Z Fold 3 with the fish screen proportion is castrated, whether it is the look and feel or the daily use experience is relatively poor.
When everyone's hardware level is at the same level, the optimization of the folding screen made by manufacturers in terms of software is a problem that everyone is more concerned about.
In this regard, Honor has spent a lot of thought, in addition to our familiar classification optimization for different types of APP, but also for many of our commonly used applications for large-screen optimization and split-screen adaptation. For example, WeChat, when reading the public account article, open the "display in the split screen", you can chat while watching the public account, directly skip the steps of switching back and forth, the experience is excellent. Samsung can only switch between left and right swipes through the floating window like an ordinary mobile phone.
The same is true for Weibo, after opening the parallel horizon, Honor and Huawei can achieve left and right split screens. While brushing Weibo, watching Weibo videos. It is still impossible for Samsung to achieve, although Samsung has also done a lot of work in the optimization of the folding screen, but it feels that many small details still feel less interesting.
Glory's small details on the split screen
Split screen mode, glory also added a little detail: in the support of split screen APP above there will be a small navigation bar, click after the full screen, left and right split screen and small window suspension three options, in the small window suspension state, you can also adjust the window size. This function, known as split-screen navigation, should be said to condense some of the glory of some ingenuity, use fewer steps and simpler, it should be said that this is the split-screen function should be operated.
As for the multi-screen collaboration that Honor Huawei is good at, it belongs to the short board of Samsung, and it will not be expanded here. But it is undeniable that what Honor and Huawei hope for should be to ensure that the folding screen mobile phone has sufficient combat strength, while building a complete set of software and hardware ecosystem, and using the mobile phone as the entrance.
summary:
In fact, the development of folding screen mobile phones to today has begun to present some more interesting development rules. For example, the outer screen of the mobile phone should be consistent with the experience of the straight flagship mobile phone, and in terms of reducing creases, a more reasonable teardrop hinge is used, and recently several domestic folding screen mobile phones have also followed this law. In the construction of the ecology, although slow, but the domestic application manufacturers have begun to pay attention to the folding screen mobile phone category, and take the initiative to start the corresponding adaptation, the next should be a period of software companies and hardware manufacturers hand in hand time.
As the first folding screen mobile phone launched by Honor, Honor Magic V makes the folding screen mobile phone step from an era of appearance innovation to an era of experience innovation, so that the category of folding screen mobile phones is truly practical and easy to use. Honor's efforts have allowed many people to get rid of their inherent impression of it and recognize its product power. At the same time, everyone has more expectations for Honor's next product strategy and trends.
