On February 9, screen industry analyst @Ross Young said that the screen panel provided by Samsung for Vivo's first folding smartphone has begun production in January. The phone will be an 8.03-inch LTPO 120Hz UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) screen that is expected to debut at the MWC (Mobile World Congress) that opens on Feb. 28.
The most noteworthy is the 8.03-inch size, for comparison, the OPPO Find N has an inner screen of 7.1 inches, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has an inner screen of 7.6 inches (right angle), and the Xiaomi Mix Fold has an inner screen of 8.01 inches. Whether it is a horizontal fold or a vertical fold, the size of the phone is definitely not small, and it will be much larger than the OPPO Find N.
A big key to the folding screen is the crease, OPPO Find N has come up with good results, vivo did not take out this folding screen until 2022, Xiao Lei guessed that vivo may have done a certain homework, crease is worth looking forward to. As for the hinge, there is already a relatively mature technology in the supply chain, as long as vivo and the supply chain are jointly debugged, the hinge should not be a big problem.

Xiao Lei believes that the folding hover function is still very important for folding mobile phones. The mobile phone can easily stand on the desktop in a hover state, the user can free their hands to watch the video, can also carry out video calls, and has a certain loading attribute.
Since the internal screen is also required for video calls and other operations, the camera of the inner screen is also unavoidable. Today, telecommuting is increasingly accepted by businesses. Users can use the hovering half screen to display the video interface, the other half screen can be used to display PPT, etc., users can participate in video conferences anytime and anywhere.
Folding screen mobile phones are unlikely to replace the traditional form of mobile phones to become the mainstream for the time being, in addition to the expensive price, there is also a is too heavy. Even in the case of using only the external screen, the one-handed operation experience is not very good because it is too thick to fold. Xiao Lei hopes that the folding screen mobile phone can be made thin enough, and can sacrifice a part of the fast charging and heat dissipation structure to ensure a better one-handed operation feel.
