Time to 2022, the "inner volume" of the smartphone market is still very intense. In recent years, new forms of products are frequent, such as folding screen mobile phones, true full-screen mobile phones, etc., at the same time, curved screen has become the choice of more and more Android manufacturers, up to the flagship machine, down to the thousand yuan machine, there are more and more curved screen figures.
Although in terms of visual effects, curved screens can provide a more stunning look, I do not recommend that you choose curved screen design, I believe that many users of curved screen mobile phones will also have the same feeling. As for why, I'll tell you below.
Disadvantages of curved screens
Speaking of curved screens, it is estimated that everyone is most impressed by Samsung mobile phones. Indeed, the curved screen is the trend brought up by Samsung, but what is more chicken thief is that Samsung has cancelled the design of the curved screen in the S22/S22+ model and used the 2.5D straight screen design instead, as if it is deliberately taking a friend business, and then it has gone in the direction of the straight screen.
And domestic manufacturers are also in recent years to gradually popularize the curved screen, of which Huawei, Xiaomi is the most radical, of which Huawei Mate30 Pro / Mate40 Pro have adopted the "waterfall screen" design, the visual effect is very stunning, but at the same time the green edge is also particularly obvious. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra uses the design of a four-curved screen, resulting in a very uncoordinated R angle, which has caused many users to complain.
However, in the end, the biggest drawbacks of curved screens I think are still difficult to film, high maintenance costs and poor experience. First of all, the film problem, the general high-definition soft film is not resistant to scratching, UV film is too expensive, the water condensation film is too dry, the tempered film is easy to white edge, I have to say that the curved screen is indeed difficult to find the right mobile phone film. And the cost of the curved screen is generally higher than the straight screen, plus the fall resistance is not as good as the straight screen, so the maintenance cost of the later stage will indeed be higher.
In terms of experience, although many manufacturers have joined the anti-touch algorithm at present, the experience is still relatively general, and the situation of miscontact in daily use is still relatively easy to appear, which affects the experience.
Benefits of curved screens
Of course, the curved screen is not without benefits, otherwise manufacturers will not follow up. For example, as mentioned above, its visual effect is better, and it does look more technical and stunning. At the same time, if the curved screen is combined with the navigation gestures on the full screen, it can get a good return touch experience, which is undeniably better than the straight screen.
Write at the end
In general, I think the disadvantages of curved screens are still higher than the benefits, which is why I do not recommend curved screens, especially for users who have not experienced curved screens. Of course, if the mobile phone you are currently using is a curved screen design, and the feeling experience is still good, the curved screen may be more suitable for you!
