From the beginning only Samsung Huawei and other large manufacturers put into mass production, to now Xiaomi, OPPO and Glory have entered the game, why everyone began to fold the screen mobile phone force? Perhaps most users are not optimistic about the prospects of folding screen mobile phones, but market research agencies are giving a more optimistic attitude, market research agencies StrategyAnalytics gave data showing that in 2019, the global shipments of foldable smartphones are less than 1 million, and market research institute Counterpoint expects that the shipments of folding screen mobile phones in 2021 will be about 9 million units, an increase of 3 times over 2020, and according to IHS forecasts, Global folding screen mobile phone shipments will climb to 53.4 million units in 2025. The optimism of the market may be a major reason for the promotion of manufacturers to launch folding screen mobile phones.
Another reason may be that the major manufacturers do not want to be abandoned by the torrent of the times. The emergence of Apple has changed the history of mobile phones, so that the mobile phone form has evolved from a rigid board to the appearance of today's mainstream mobile phones, and during this period, some manufacturers can follow up, and they will follow the trend on the historical stage, and some manufacturers have not been able to seize the opportunities of the times and can only leave the scene. Therefore, once the innovation of mobile phone forms has emerged, in order not to be kicked out of the game, major manufacturers will also take the initiative. In fact, the innovation of mobile phone forms in recent years is active, such as folding screens, surround screens, scroll screens, etc., but what is really put into practice is the folding screen.
For many users, folding screen mobile phones are still a "concept product", which is not suitable for daily use, but we have seen a major trend in the development of mobile phones in the past ten years is that the screen is getting bigger and bigger, and the mobile phone must be portable at the same time as the large screen. These two points are precisely the advantages of the current folding screen mobile phone, when unfolded is a super-sized screen, folding can be held with one hand, which can also understand why the folding screen mobile phone is called "the next outlet of the smart phone" in the industry.
