Hi, here is the Extreme Fruit Jun. Today we will talk about this "giant panda in the folding screen", Huawei Mate Xs 2.
After many years of not seeing, where is the difference in the role of external folding? Creases, software adaptation, what kind of new heights has Huawei pushed folding products to? Poke the video above and let jam give you a good chat.
Of course, we have also prepared a very advanced graphic version for you.
The reason why Mate Xs 2 says that he is a giant panda is because in the past few years, the external folding screen has been done, and in the past, the mainstream manufacturers only had Huawei. Now, it's just Huawei. If you think about it carefully, the outer fold is actually closer to the concept of "folding screen mobile phone" than the inner fold: the outer fold is the same as the scroll, which is a continuous change in the size of the same screen. The inward fold is to switch between two screens.
In addition, for mobile phones with little land, one less external screen also brings a huge weight advantage to the folding scheme. The only drawback is that the external folding scheme will expose the fragile flexible screen throughout the process, which is always a little unsafe to use. The reason why the inner fold is popular now is that it provides more protection for the screen and is more reassuring to use.
The outer fold is light and thin continuous, the inner fold is safe and stable, and the two routes have their own advantages, not that who eliminated whom. Especially if the screen durability can have some progress, the outer fold is actually a good option.
Well, let's take a quick look at this machine: the Mate Xs 2 we have in our hands is a frost purple color scheme, which at first glance does not seem to be much different from the previous generation. But in the hand, the material on the back feels very special first. It looks like a more gentle and beautiful feeling. But it is very neat and crisp to the touch, which can be said to subvert some stereotypes.
In addition, this mobile phone is indeed the lightest of all the large-screen folding machines we have touched. The ordinary version is 255g, and the top version is slightly heavier because of the relationship between high silicon cells, and it comes to 257g. It is 15% lighter than the previous generation, almost like an oversized cup with a shell.
In this small bag, there is not much burden. It can even be said that it is lighter than "Apple".
In addition, in many details, the Mate Xs 2 is actually very different from the previous generation. For example, the small A shell on the left side of the machine has an extra bump. In this way, the human hand has a stable power point when opening and closing the fuselage, reducing the force on the screen at the same time, and it is more able to let go of the hands and feet when using.
Of course, the durability of a mobile phone not only depends on the ingenuity of the design, but also the material itself is very important. At the press conference, Huawei said that the Xs 2 used a multi-layer composite film.
In fact, this is a technical route that they insist on using on Xs, and in the case of ultra-thin glass at that time, there was no domestic manufacturer application, Xs used a double-layer CPI overlapping screen cover. In this generation, Huawei has expanded the concept of multi-layer composite to the entire screen. If the bottom display layer is as fragile as paper, the buffer layer is like attaching a layer of nano-tape to this paper to absorb the impact of external forces. The protective layer further increases the strength and reduces wear and scratches.
Of course, Huawei did not announce more specific screen material details, but said that compared with the previous generation, the performance of anti-fall, anti-squeeze and anti-impact has been improved several times. They may have some of their own considerations in this regard, so we have to use this kind of... A more abstract way to talk about what it really is.
But in any case, a more rugged screen is indeed a very much needed feature of the folded model. This time, whether you put it in your pocket and throw it in your bag, you must be relieved to take it out.
In fact, for polymer materials, anti-fall is a natural strength. Just like the same water cup, the glass is relatively easy to break. But it must be said that the crispy mage on the buff is still a mage. Although the official data shows that the Xs 2 has been exponentially improved over the previous generation, these technologies can only reduce the probability of hand slippage and break, which does not mean that it is particularly resistant to construction.
After all, the out-of-warranty screen change price of this machine accounts for more than half of the starting price of the whole machine. If it is bought back for your own use, as the ultimate means of economic problem solving, I suggest that it is still a broken screen treasure. If you really have to cultivate, it is relatively not so annoying.
If the degree of screen firmness is a characteristic problem of the folding model, then the crease is a must for all folding screen mobile phones. In fact, this secret is still hidden in the location of this small A-shell that we just said. Note that its appearance film is anti-reflective, and it will be darker in reflection than the area that is not pasted.
Now let's move the phone, look, its outer screen is actually active.
This kind of activity design can greatly slow down the pull of the screen during the opening and closing process, coupled with Huawei's hinge design, so that the flatness of this generation directly to a new level.
This is also why the front opening of the Mate Xs 2 is an oval shape. Because of the slight displacement of the screen, the front lens is in the center of the opening when the phone is closed. When unfolded, the lens is actually on the left side of the opening.
Moreover, Huawei's official website has deliberately restored this position relationship here in the rendering of the introducing the front part. I can only say ah, fine, too fine.
Folding screen mobile phone, it is still a mobile phone after all. After half a day of screen, let's quickly talk about how it works.
As a folding screen OG, Huawei's split screen function is achieved by dragging and dropping in the sidebar. Or directly from multitasking here, drag the app near the split-screen icon in the upper left corner and let go. The same is true for the small window mode, its split screen and the small window entrance are together.
In small window mode, you can also use the fast sliding gesture to close the full screen up and down, and the left and right sides are folded into floating windows, and the multitasking ability is taken to a higher level.
For example, when you go to work: the left side of the conference call, the right side of a note, the background screen recorder to leave a backup, do not delay. Even the small window can hang a browser to check the information at any time to respond to the leader's questions.
On the way home from work, the subway signal was bad. Look at the yard a lot, but also busy. At this time, if you have a folding screen, the left side of the nucleic acid health treasure, the right side of the ride payment code. Two requirements, one at a time.
Tired of a day finally home? Before going to bed, watch the live broadcast for a while! Open Li Jiaqi on the left, the hoarded skin care products, can not be delayed for a second. Open liu qihong on the right, the neck and shoulders that are sore during the day, and now you have to move well.
"Seek money and kill" combination, have you learned?
Other folding screens in terms of taking pictures of the whole of those flowers it also has. For example, fold up the phone during the photo shoot, open the second screen collaboration, Ta and you can see the real-time preview of the lens screen. Never worry about taking pictures of the car again.
And it also inherits Huawei's excellent genes in imaging, supporting XD Optics computational optics, and XD Fusion Pro primary color engine. Ai homework is also online.
For example, in this kind of photo, the passerby who grabs the camera can eliminate it with one click, and only you are in focus.
In fact, I really didn't expect it. Huawei can also produce another folding screen, and it is also a sequel to the folding product. After this listing, Huawei has become the only mobile phone manufacturer on the earth that has gathered three folding forms and is on sale at the same time.
In its current situation, people are still trying to solve some pain points in the software ecology, and they are still exploring the boundaries of product forms. Including its adaptive UI engine, it is still trying to find ways to give consumers a better experience, which is indeed not easy.
The price from 9999 is undoubtedly the level of the top flagship. But relatively speaking, the threshold has indeed been lowered. Not to mention that it has significant advantages in size and weight, if you are particularly interested in this aspect, Mate Xs 2, you may really want to try.
