"Wouldn't you? No way? It's 2022, and no one is really still struggling with whether the folding screen is using the in-folding scheme or the external folding scheme, right? ”
At the beginning of the birth of the folding screen, it was related to "who is the final form of the folding screen with internal folding and external folding?" The tone of the argument has been debated endlessly. From the perspective of objective idealism, "the things that exist are rational", no matter which folding method, after nearly four years of verification, both the well-known good products have been born, and there are also infamous inferior products, and even a company with the "world's first folding screen mobile phone" is deeply trapped in financial difficulties.
For users like you and me, the folding scheme is only a reference when purchasing, and comprehensive product strength should be considered. In addition to Apple, the major mobile phone brands that are now active in the market have launched their folding screen products. Among them, Huawei's folding screen product line covers three types: horizontal inward folding, horizontal outer folding and vertical folding. Today, what I want to talk to you about is the Huawei Mate Xs 2 that has just been released.
It is not only the thinnest horizontal folding screen mobile phone at present, but also the folding screen mobile phone with the shallowest crease
At present, Huawei folding screen products have a total of three product lines, Huawei Mate X mainly does horizontal inward folding, Huawei Mate Xs is responsible for horizontal folding, both are more inclined to business positioning, which belongs to the extension of the Mate series; the vertical folding Huawei P50 Pocket is mainly light and thin fashion, divided into P series. The Huawei Mate Xs 2 to be talked about today is the third horizontal folding product after subdividing the product line.
Compared with the lateral folding, the most intuitive feeling of the horizontal folding is that the fuselage is thinner, lighter in weight, and the crease is shallower. On the one hand, because the horizontal folding reduces the external screen and the components required for it, it not only reduces the thickness and weight of the fuselage by subtraction, but also reduces the cost. In the end, the thickness of Huawei Mate Xs 2 after unfolding is 5.4mm, the thickness after folding is 11.1mm, and the weight is controlled at 255 grams, which is also the lightest horizontal folding screen mobile phone at present.
On the other hand, due to the different folding methods, the inner screen in the inverting scheme is squeezed inward, which is very easy to produce creases. The folding scheme is to stretch outwards, in today's buzzwords, "the skin is unfolded". At the same time, the radius of the outer fold is larger than the inner fold, and it is less likely to produce creases. Of course, behind all this, in addition to the different folding methods, it is also inseparable from the technical iteration on the hinge.
Huawei Mate Xs 2 uses a self-developed double-rotor eagle wing hinge, which is made of ultra-light and super-strong steel formulated by Huawei, making the hinge and the screen fit more closely. When opening and closing, it realizes the coaxial center of the circle, the integration of expansion and contraction, the flatness is 70% higher than that of the previous generation Huawei Mate Xs, and the ultra-flat folding screen state is achieved.
Horizontal folding is not a switch between two screens but an extension of one screen
In terms of opening and closing, Huawei Mate Xs 2 adopts a design that is in line with the Mate Xs, pressing the button on the back, when the hinge will provide an outward force to bounce the screen open, forming an angle of about 30 °. When the screen is folded outward, there will be a non-conspicuous pulling action at the edge of the screen, the screen is stretched outward when opening and closing, and the edge is contracted inward after closing, and the new generation of double rotor wing hinges under the premise of constant screen length realizes precise linkage control with the screen.
In daily use, the opening and closing of the horizontal folding product is to switch between two different screens, while the Huawei Mate Xs 2 is a screen that extends out and extends to a farther boundary. In the folded state, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 can use a screen size of 6.5 inches, the display ratio is 19:9, with a 2480 x2200 ultra-high resolution and 424 ppi ultra-high pixel density, with a weight of 255 grams and a thickness of 11.1mm, there is no difference between holding in the hand and the large-screen straight-panel mobile phone, and even the edge due to the curvature generated by the screen folding, when holding, it will not produce a sense of fragmentation like a sandwich structure.
When expanded, the screen size changes to 7.8 inches, with a display ratio of 8:7.1, which has a display size comparable to that of a tablet. And because it is extended from a screen, whether it is a 6.5-inch screen in the folded state or a 7.8-inch screen after expansion, the 120Hz screen refresh rate, the highest 240Hz touch sampling rate, the 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and the 1.07 billion colors, P3 global color management are consistent, and there will be no visual separation between opening and closing when using.
Compared with the screen of the original folding screen that feels soft, the screen of the Huawei Mate Xs 2 is harder and closer to the touch of glass. The composite reinforced structure used this time consists of a three-layer polymer composite stack structure of protective layer, buffer layer, barrier layer and display layer, which can effectively absorb and buffer external forces, and achieve 2.5 times drop resistance, impact resistance 2.8 times and extrusion resistance 1.4 times compared with the previous generation of products.
The hinge snaps the Huawei Mate Xs 2 unfolded very tightly, and the screen support structure made of aerospace-grade titanium alloy and the ultra-light fiberglass back cover provide sufficient fuselage strength. The elegant black color in my hand, the three-dimensional microfiber process engraves the cross leather pattern on the back of the ultra-light glass fiber back cover, which not only covers the entire back plate, but also extends upward to the top and bottom of the fuselage, and the surface is finely crossed to form a lychee pattern, suitable for business people with a stable personality.
4880mAh large battery to ensure our daily use time, Huawei Mate Xs 2 to achieve the perfect balance of fast charging speed and the thickness of the whole machine, the use of high silicon negative extreme battery, further enhance the density and capacity. With the new 66W Huawei Super Fast Charge using the innovative parallel charging architecture, the charging speed is increased by 15%, and the charging speed can be 90% in 30 minutes. Charging is also relevant prompts, after unfolding the charging speed faster.
The packaging also comes with a tonal protective case, for this protective shell author can be described as "love and hate", the place of love is printed with "H" printed on it, just like the old flowers of luxury leather goods are very recognizable, and the soft leather touch has the beauty of high-grade materials. The case also has a slip bar on the inside, which can be used as a phone stand when the phone is unfolded. The hate place is that the protective case will be folded behind the screen wrapped inside, when the screen needs to be broken on the side of the protective case, there is nowhere to place the mobile phone case can only be hollow attached to the fuselage, the look and grip is not good.
Without the Coke label, the photo can be colored and "full of moral taste"
Due to the limitations of volume, body thickness and cost, the image system configuration of Huawei Mate Xs 2 is not exaggerated by Huawei Mate X2, but the imaging effect is definitely the first echelon at present. It is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary color camera, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera rear-facing triple camera system.
Huawei's Mate Xs 2 also uses computing optics (XD Optics), which improves the clarity by 10% through the new optical system image information restoration technology. Equipped with XD Fusion Pro primary color engine, through the primary color camera, 10-channel multi-spectral sensor, P3 full color gamut 2000+ color tuning, with excellent hardware and software and debugging capabilities to truly restore color.
In standard condition, the overall color performance of the Huawei Mate Xs 2 is better convergent, less saturated, and closer to the true color seen by the human eye. As shown in the figure, the green pine needles and pine towers are accurate and restrained in color, appearing verdant. Using the main camera to shoot leaves in the distance, thanks to the 50-megapixel primary color camera, the edge details of the leaves are clear after magnification.
If you are an old Huawei user and miss the "German taste photo" of the previous product, the author suggests that you can switch the standard to bright in the color, and then the contrast of the straight photo will be higher and the color will be deeper, which is what we often say "Full of German taste" photos. Huawei Mate Xs 2's second screen supports a unique mirror smart shooting function, after folding the phone, click the "button" to open the mirror smart shot, the main screen and the second screen simultaneously display the framing screen, the photographer and the recipient can achieve a preview shooting effect. When a boy takes a picture of his girlfriend, the girl can guide her boyfriend in real time according to the picture and take a photo that satisfies herself.
Innovative large-screen interaction, inspired by the Huawei Mate Xs 2
Huawei is one of the first manufacturers to deeply cultivate the large-screen ecology, and has a deep technical accumulation in large-screen interaction, which was finally implemented on the Huawei Mate Xs 2. In addition to the smart split screen function that we have become accustomed to on the large screen and flat panel, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 also added an adaptive UI engine.
In simple terms, because many developers do not adapt to the large screen when developing software, the interface after the user opens the application in the large-screen state is stretched according to the scale, and many icons have been distorted and deformed. Huawei's first adaptive UI engine can obtain the original layout information through algorithm self-learning, and re-optimize the layout for large-screen displays, with a more refined layout and more suitable for large-screen users' reading habits.
It can be seen that the layout in the large-screen state is more reasonable and looks more beautiful. At present, Huawei Mate Xs 2 has achieved 100% large-screen adaptation in Top 300 applications, and Top 2000 applications have achieved 90% large-screen adaptation. That said, our commonly used applications basically support adaptive UI engines. Apps that aren't supported can operate using split-screen operations.
This time, Huawei Mate Xs 2 also updated the multi-task interaction logic, after opening an application, swipe up to the left to achieve split-screen operation, and swipe up to the right to open the floating window. In the suspended window state, slide up to open the suspension window full screen, slide sideways to close the suspension window, and slide down to close the suspension window. The interaction logic is simple, the learning cost is low, and the starting speed is fast.
When you use the Huawei Mate Xs 2 to run two applications in parallel, you can also directly call the floating window for multitasking parallel processing. The floating window supports watching videos, quickly replying to text messages, WeChat messages, game hang-ups, etc., which means that Huawei Mate Xs 2 supports three applications running side by side, and the new smart multi-window significantly improves the utilization rate and operation efficiency of the large screen.
End:
As a folding screen product that integrates Huawei's latest and most cutting-edge technology, Huawei Mate Xs 2 achieves ultra-flat, ultra-reliable and ultra-thin product form with a thickness of 5.4mm and a weight of 255 grams, as well as a double rotor wing hinge, and also provides consumers with a new choice. At the same time, based on the advantages of horizontal folding in interaction, it brings a new experience of immersive and efficient large-screen interaction, and the screen content flows flexibly between opening and closing. As Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of terminal BG, and CEO of smart car solution BU, said at the press conference: "We continue to innovate and make breakthroughs in the field of folding screen mobile phones, and today we bring a new generation of folding flagship Huawei Mate Xs 2. Folding flagship, collared side. ”
