I don't know if you have noticed that Huawei announced the Mate Xs 2 folding screen flagship machine at the online conference the other day. Judging from the performance configuration announced by the new machine, Mate Xs 2 still does not have a 5G mode, that is to say, its chip problem has not been effectively solved. However, Huawei's deep ploughing results in the direction of folding screens have given users different surprises, and this new folding machine has aroused heated discussion among netizens.
As the only mobile phone brand to launch an outward folding screen, Huawei's folding screen technology can be said to be ahead of the world. In the case of Mate Xs 2, its fuselage is much thinner than the previous Mate X series and P50 Pocket, the unfolding thickness is only 5.4mm, and the folding up is only 11.1mm, which is basically as thin as the full-screen ordinary smartphone we use now, and its weight is only 255 grams, which is currently the lightest folding screen mobile phone.
In terms of mobile phone performance, the configuration of the Mate Xs 2 is also considerable. In terms of camera, the 50-megapixel primary color camera + 13 million ultra-wide-angle camera + 8 million telephoto camera achieves almost professional-level photography; in terms of battery, the built-in 4880mAh supports 66W super fast charging, which can quickly fill the power lost by the folding action. In addition, in terms of chips, qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G chips are equipped, supporting tri-band WiFi6 to achieve extreme speed surfing, which is a slight compensation for the regret of 5G. Although the price is relatively expensive, as a flagship machine, in general, it is quite conscientious.
Unlike the folding folding screen launched by Huawei, the two folding screen mobile phones successively launched by the two brands of vo, oppo Find N and vivo X Fond, are both folding folding machines. Although they are not willing to be left behind in the research and development of folding screens, they are also loved by many users, but their creases are obvious, and it is also an indisputable fact that they have not reached Huawei's super folding technology level.
In addition, mainstream smartphone brands such as Samsung, Xiaomi and Honor have also launched their own folding screen products, preemptively occupying a certain market share, after all, the folding screen is the "fragrant food" for the development of smart phones in the future, and the profit is quite considerable.
Perhaps, readers will wonder whether the mobile phone brands mentioned above do not have Apple? Didn't Cook smell the presence of this bucket of gold? It turns out that it is obvious that we are overly worried, and Apple is also waiting for an opportunity to take the market in the direction of the folding screen in one fell swoop.
According to foreign media reports, Apple has been working on foldable iPhones since January last year, and there is also relevant evidence that Samsung is providing Apple with sample tests of folding screens. In addition, Apple has successfully developed an OLED panel with non-polarizer, which can make the screen thinner and more suitable for folding screen mobile phones. Judging by this progress, analysts predict that Apple will launch a folding iPhone in 2023.
Apple's move is undoubtedly keeping up with the mainstream development trend of smart phones, and it is estimated that it will cause heated discussion in the circle when the time comes with the new tricks of the folding screen. However, if after Apple launched the folding screen, Huawei has not yet explored the new achievements of chip research and realized the configuration of 5G chips, then the future development trend of Huawei mobile phones and the technical competition between Apple and Huawei will be what will happen, we will wait and see.
