Not long ago, the "outer folding" scheme used by Huawei Mate Xs 2 released by the flower factory attracted the attention of many netizens. Many people wonder why Huawei has moved out the "outer folding" scheme of that year when major manufacturers have launched "inner folding" mobile phones?
Previously, the hot topic in the field of folding screen mobile phones was nothing more than the confrontation between Huawei's external folding scheme and Samsung's internal folding scheme, but with the acceleration of the process of domestic smart phone manufacturers entering the folding mobile phone, vivo, OPPO, Glory, etc. have released their own internal folding screen products, and competitors have also become these domestic manufacturers.
In fact, from the official interpretation, it is not difficult to find that the "outer folding" scheme used by Huawei Mate Xs 2 is mainly stronger than the traditional folding screen mobile phone in terms of body thickness, weight, and strength.
Let's find a mainstream "inner folding" mobile phone Galaxy Z Fold3 on the market to look at the parameters, its fuselage unfolding thickness is 6.4mm, folding thickness is 16mm, net weight of about 271g; and Huawei Mate Xs 2's fuselage unfolding thickness is 5.4mm, folding thickness is only 11.1mm, net weight of about 255g, the gap between the two is not a little and a half.
However, the "outer folding" scheme does seem a bit abrupt at the moment, but its advantages are also obvious. The advantage of the inner folding design is that it can better protect the screen, at least a certain sense of security, and the technology is more mature and stable. But again, due to the use of inner folding design, generally will add an additional external screen for users to browse, which increases the cost, resulting in an increase in the weight of the fuselage.
The advantage of the outer folding design is that it can create a lighter body, only need a screen, and effectively free up space in the fuselage. However, it needs extra protection, thinking that the screen is indeed a bit unsafe when exposed. Both options have their own benefits, but now it's within the fold for the trend.
So which scheme do you prefer to fold the in-fold and out-fold schemes of folding screen mobile phones?
