"Fashion is a reincarnation", this sentence is the same for the mobile phone circle, when the flip phone was eliminated by history, it reappeared in a new way, that is, the major mobile phone manufacturers strive to layout the "folding screen mobile phone". As a new mobile phone form, the folding screen is in a sense an experiential or early adopter product, and major manufacturers are constantly exploring the stage. However, folding screen mobile phones are indeed an important product for mobile phone manufacturers to re-layout the high-end market, so manufacturers have launched their own folding screen mobile phones.
Recently, foreign media said that Google has also begun to do folding screen mobile phones, and is expected to start mass production in the third quarter of this year. According to the breaking news, Google's folding screen is named Pixel Notepad, equipped with a self-developed Tensor chip, and the outer screen is equipped with a 5.8-inch screen, and the size is similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. In terms of imaging, it uses a 12.3-megapixel IMX363 sensor, a 12-megapixel IMX386 ultra-wide-angle sensor, and two 8-megapixel IMX355 selfie sensors. In terms of price, the Pixel Notepad is expected to sell for $1400.
From the relevant parameters, this folding screen mobile phone may be similar in appearance to OPPO Find N, belonging to the lightweight type, and it is expected that the weight of the fuselage will not be very heavy. In terms of configuration, it is still "stacking materials", and the configuration on the Pixel digital series is placed on the folding screen mobile phone, but it has its own unique self-developed chip, which is not a small advantage. The author believes that the key technology used by Google in folding screens has not yet been clarified, and whether the screen creases and folding times that most users are concerned about can be solved or optimized still needs to be considered.
In addition, as an Android system that competes with the iOS system, whether Google will optimize the folding screen on the system is also worth looking forward to, which may be able to provide alternative optimization solutions for other Android manufacturers and bring a more adaptable system.
