Folding phone: Honor Magic V has been well received by consumers
Mobile phones may be the most intuitive and direct technology products around us that can directly appreciate the rapid changes in the technology around us.
Different from the "thousand yuan machine" below 1500 yuan and the "main machine" of 1500 yuan to 3500 yuan, the "flagship machine" of more than 3500 yuan is the price mobile phone that can best reflect the technical strength of each mobile phone brand.
Eight immortals across the sea, each showing their magic, domestic and foreign brands regardless of the cost of stacking materials, will be a variety of "black technology" to the flagship machine to add, 5G, 12G memory, folding screen, AI, bionic chips, liquid cooling heat dissipation, e-sports plug-in, ultra-wide angle, macro, 120Hz refresh... Competing on the same stage, we can get a glimpse of the trend and future of mobile phone technology development on the flagship machine.
Every time the screen gets bigger, the battery capacity gets higher, and the performance becomes stronger, it takes our phone experience to the next level. However, as mobile phones gradually enter the stock market, the marginal utility decreases, the changes in mobile phone technology are becoming less and less obvious, and the homogenization of mobile phones begins to flood, which can no longer greatly increase our use experience.
What makes us optimistic is that there are still technologies and products on the market that make everyone shine, and the folding screen is one of them. With the technical improvement of the folding screen and the mass production of products, and then the cost declines, the folding screen is no longer as high and out of reach as in the past, and is gradually lowered to a price of less than 10,000 yuan.
Among the 40 mobile phones evaluated by word of mouth, 8 mobile phones such as Honor Magic V, Huawei Mate X2, Huawei P50 Pocket, OPPO Find N, Xiaomi MIX FOLD, Royole ROYOLE FlexPai 2, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and so on are folding screen phones.
The results show that the Honor Magic V and nubia Red Magic 6S Pro receive high reviews from consumers.
Honor Magic V has a balanced performance, with a CCR score of up to 8.6 points, and has been recognized by consumers in multiple dimensions such as screen, camera, battery life, unlock, signal, and charging.

Its endurance and charging also perform well, the battery capacity is as high as 4750mAh, the fast charging power is as high as 66W, the claim is 30% of the 15-minute charge, and there are consumer measurements that "fully charged for a day and a half is no problem", "super capacity battery", "long standby time", "battery is very durable, anyway, I can't use it up in a day" and so on.
The current folding screen, according to the folding direction, there are two main directions, taking Huawei as an example, Huawei Mate X2 horizontal folding, Huawei P50 Pocket vertical folding.

There are also Samsung's Z Fold3 (folding horizontally) and Galaxy Z Flip3 (folding vertically). The landscape folding screen is larger and can be unfolded when used on a tablet, while the vertical folding is more convenient to carry, similar in size to a makeup case, and can be operated with one hand.

Playing games for a long time, the heat may be more serious, so heat dissipation is particularly important for game consoles.
