Huawei folding screen new machine Mate Xs2 will be released on April 28, Huawei executive Yu Chengdong has been warming up for Mate Xs2 during this time, he said that Mate Xs2 is close to the thickness and weight of ordinary mobile phones, solving the problem of folding screen mobile phones are bulky and not resistant to falling, and basically no creases, so that it is ultra-thin, ultra-flat and super reliable.
At the same time, Yu Chengdong also announced another blockbuster news, Huawei mobile phones will no longer be difficult to buy: "Huawei mobile phone supply has been greatly improved, last year our mobile phone supply is very difficult, this year our Huawei mobile phone began to come back, so everyone wants to buy Huawei products, Huawei mobile phones can be bought." ”
Since entering the entity list in 2019, the supply chain of Huawei mobile phones has suffered a devastating blow, the self-developed Kirin chip cannot be produced, other core components have also been blocked, and the nova9 series and P50 series are not only 4G mobile phones, but also have very limited production capacity and cannot meet market demand.
For users who like Huawei mobile phones and want to support Huawei mobile phones with real machine silver, the good news announced by Yu Chengdong on behalf of Huawei is undoubtedly to give them a reassuring pill, and they will no longer have to worry about not being able to buy the Huawei mobile phone they want in the future.
Huawei's mobile phone shipments in 2021 are only about 35 million units, a drop of nearly 85% compared with the 240 million units peak in 2019. Despite this, in the domestic folding screen mobile phone market, Huawei is still the user's first choice.
According to the "China Folding Screen Mobile Phone Market Insight Report" released by iResearch in December last year, Huawei accounted for 64% of the folding screen mobile phone market in China, ranking in an absolute leader position. The survey data also shows that 87% of users who consider buying folding screen mobile phones are paying attention to Huawei's folding screen mobile phone products, showing Huawei's brand advantages.
There are two problems that plague Huawei's Mate Xs2, the first of which is the chip that cannot be spared and that everyone is extremely concerned about. The P50 Pocket, launched last year, does not carry the Kirin 9000 chip, so it cannot support 5G networks. According to digital media reports, the Mate Xs2 is most likely only a Qualcomm chip version, and it is not the Snapdragon 8, but last year's Snapdragon 888Plus, or the same Snapdragon 888 with the P50 Pocket.
Secondly, the price, Huawei folding screen mobile phone has never been cheap, the outside world predicts that the price of Mate Xs2 may still be around 15,000 yuan, too high a price, may have a great impact on the sales of Mate Xs2. Because other domestic mobile phone manufacturers have already achieved the starting price of their folding screen mobile phones within 10,000 yuan, such as Xiaomi MIX FOLD (from 9999 yuan), OPPO Find N (from 7699 yuan), Glory Magic V (from 9999 yuan) and vivo X FOLD (from 8999 yuan).
In the case of the mobile phone industry becoming more and more involuted, folding screen mobile phones have become a must for major mobile phone manufacturers. Whether Mate Xs2 can help Huawei consolidate its position in the folding screen field is yet to be revealed at the 28th press conference.
It is worth mentioning that at the Hongmeng Harmony OS2 conference in June last year, Yu Chengdong finally announced the real machine photos of the P50 series, I don't know if there is such an Easter egg at the 28th conference, let us see the real machine style of the Mate50 series.
