In the matter of folding screen, Yu Chengdong has repeatedly jumped in the two directions of "punching the face" and "insisting" in the past two years.
Huawei's first two folding screens were released in February 2019 (Huawei Mate X) and February 2020 (Huawei Mate Xs), both of which are external folding screen designs. Last February, the third folding screen Huawei Mate X2 became an inner folding screen design. Judging from the release time and name, the Mate X2 seems to mean that Huawei has replaced the outer folding screen with an inner folding screen.
Because Earlier Yu Chengdong had ridiculed Samsung's inner folding screen, saying that "Samsung's design (inner folding) is exactly what Huawei eliminated." Therefore, after the release of the folding screen Mate X2 last year, the outside world ridiculed Yu Chengdong for "punching his own face".
The Mate X2 apparently doesn't replace the outer folding screen. On April 28, Huawei released the Mate Xs 2, which inherits the original two generations of folding screen design. From this point of view, Yu Chengdong really "did not forget his original intention".
In the case that other companies only bet on the in-fold plan, Huawei chose to fold inward and fold out " I want it all".
Huawei Mate Xs 2
Leather-like appearance
In terms of appearance, Huawei Mate Xs 2 pioneered the microfiber process, and the back cover looks similar to striped hard leather.
Its three colour schemes have three different body textures, with a cross leather pattern in Ya Black, a natural leather pattern in Brocade White and a frost texture in Frost Purple. A tonal leather case is included and can be used as a stand.
Screen scratch resistance and flatness
As we all know, the folding screen is actually not much different from the ordinary bar mobile phone in terms of mobile phone functionality, and the main technology and price gap are basically on the screen and hinge.
The screen of the folding screen is difficult to maintain the strength of the screen after anti-scratch, anti-glare, and high-intensity folding; the hinge is strong and stable, the cost is moderate, and the screen crease is reduced as much as possible. We can see on every folding screen that has been listed, and manufacturers have spared no effort to publicize their efforts in these two aspects.
Huawei's second-generation folding screen Mate Xs
Huawei's first two generations of external folding screens have been criticized in two main places: the screen is not resistant to scratching, the screen flatness is not good, the reason is not difficult to understand, compared with the inner folding screen, the outer folding screen will cause the screen to directly contact the external object, it is easy to scratch, and the flexible screen is more likely to be damaged in scratching.
This is also where the Mate Xs 2 is the biggest upgrade.
In terms of scratch resistance, the Mate Xs 2 adopts a composite reinforced structural screen, and the anti-drop ability is 2.5 times higher than that of the previous generation.
In terms of flatness, due to the new composite laminated structure, the screen flatness has increased by 70% compared with the previous generation.
The Mate Xs 2 has a 7.8-inch, 8:7.1 scale when turned on, and 6.5 inches when closed, 19:9, 424ppi, and supports 120Hz high brushing.
The first two generations of folding screens have proved Huawei's success in external folding hinge technology, and the Mate Xs 2 continues the design of the previous two generations, still using double rotor hinges.
Comparable to the thin and light body of a straight-line mobile phone
At present, almost all folding screens can not escape the "bulky", the weight is basically above 280g, the thickness is more than 10mm, such as the recently released vivo X Fold weighs 311g, and the folding thickness reaches 14.5mm.
Body size is one of the biggest highlights of Mate Xs 2, Mate Xs 2 uses a number of innovative ultra-light materials, the weight of the whole machine is only 255g, basically with the current flagship machine + mobile phone case is at the same level.
At the same time, the unfolded Mate Xs 2 is only 5.4mm thick, and the closing thickness is about 11mm.
Networks and imagery
Networking is Huawei's traditional strength, Mate Xs 2 supports 3D precision indoor positioning, a new generation of Hongmeng intelligent communication, support four-network concurrency, five-network collaboration.
In addition, the Mate Xs 2 is the industry's first phone to support tri-band Wi-Fi, with theoretical peak rates of up to 4Gbps.
In terms of imagery, the Mate Xs 2 uses a rear triple camera: a 50MP primary color camera + a 13MP ultra-wide camera and an 8MP 3x optical zoom camera.
In terms of algorithms, Huawei Imaging XD Optics compute optics and XD Fusion Pro primary color engine are supported.
In terms of software adaptation, Mate Xs 2 is equipped with HarmonyOS 2, the first adaptive UI engine for folding screens, and the layout of third-party applications can realize self-learning and optimization and adaptation. At present, TOP 300 applications support 100% large-screen adaptation, and TOP 2000 applications support 90% large-screen adaptation.
