Do you know what the world's first hole-piercing screen phone was? I don't know it doesn't matter, now the world's most concerned hole-in-the-hole screen mobile phone is coming! He's the new iPhone 14 Pro.
Of course, at the end of today's article, we will also take you to understand the world's first hole-in-the-screen smartphone.
When it comes to iPhone, the first thing that many users think of should be its "Liu Haiping" design in recent years. With the gradual improvement of Face ID technology, Apple should continue to use this representative feature for the iPhone for a long time in the future.
At the same time, how to ensure the recognition effect of Face ID and obtain a larger screen display area has also become a key technology that Apple needs to break through.
In this regard, in recent years, the punching screen, which has gradually become the mainstream choice, has become a solution that Apple may use. As early as last year, before the release of the iPhone 13 series, there were revelations that Apple would use a punched screen for the iPhone 14 series. Now with the advancement of time, the relevant revelations are also increasing and gradually converging.
The earliest news that appeared was that Apple would use a single punching design for the entire iPhone 14 series. However, the latest news shows that only the Pro model in the upcoming iPhone 14 series can carry a punched screen, and it is not a single punching design but a combination of two punches.
Compared with the current more mainstream single punch design, the punch combination obviously needs to occupy more screen area. How effective this design compares with the previous "Liu Haiping" is also the focus of many users.
Now, there is also a comparison of the front screen effects of the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro based on the CAD file size on the Internet.
Combined with the pictures, the new iPhone 14 Pro has two screen punches, including a large pill-shaped punch and a round normal-size punch. The former is used to house the Face ID component, while the latter is used for the placement of the front-facing lens.
The introduction shows that the iPhone 14 Pro's bezels are about 20% thinner, but the size of the two punches is not small. Compared with the previous generation of "Liu Haiping", the scheme of punching combination can bring more display and operability area, but how such a large-size punching reduces the sense of existence in the actual presentation is also of concern.
If you are not satisfied with Apple's hole screen, then we will take stock of some well-known hole screen phones that have appeared in the past few years.
At present, there are two kinds of more mainstream punching designs on the market, including small size single punch holes and large size punches similar to pill shapes. When it comes to large-size punching solutions, many users should think of Huawei's P40 Pro+.
This product was released in March 2020 and is on sale for $7988. It integrates a 32-megapixel camera, an infrared depth camera, and an ambient light sensor in the front area. The larger punching area also brings better functional support.
And when it comes to the front-facing single-punch hole design, the Galaxy S20 Ultra released by Samsung in February 2020 is also impressive. It adopts a screen design with a central punch, and the punch size is a step closer than before. Although the starting price has reached a high price of 9999 yuan, it still attracts a lot of user attention.
In fact, as a well-known smartphone brand, Samsung announced Several screen solutions such as Infinity-U, Infinity-V, Infinity-O, and New Infinity in 2018. Among them, Infinity-O is the familiar digging screen.
As for the world's first full-screen mobile phone mentioned above, it is Samsung's Galaxy A8s. It is reported that this Samsung Galaxy A8s was released in December 2018 and priced at 2999 yuan. Although it is a mid-range positioning product, the new screen design has also gained a considerable degree of external attention.
At present, the under-screen camera technology is still in the process of development and breakthrough. Before the technology fully popularizes the market in all gears, the punching screen is still an applicationable technology that cannot be bypassed. In this way, the possibility of Apple using a punch screen for the new iPhone series is also higher. With the application of new technologies, what do you think the iPhone 14 Pro with a punched screen will be priced at?
