In fact, the shape of the folding screen mobile phone has evolved several times in just three years, from the initial folding screen to the current folding screen, from obvious creases to almost no creases. From Fold folding screen to Filp folding screen, the iteration speed of folding screen mobile phone is amazing. This time, the latest model of Huawei MateX3 has once again adopted a new design. After deployment, some screens of Huawei MateX3 can be suspended outside the fuselage, which makes Huawei MateX3 change from a 6.5-inch screen to a 1 1 inch screen, and directly from a mobile phone to a large-size tablet.
In order to realize the suspension of the screen, Huawei designed a brand-new hinge structure for Huawei MateX3, and obtained relevant patents in August this year. Therefore, this design of Huawei MateX3 basically changed the shape of the folding screen mobile phone again. In the past, Huawei MateX2 turned its mobile phone into a small-sized tablet, and now Huawei MateX3 has directly turned into a very large tablet of 1 1 inch. This more extreme design will definitely bring a more extreme audio-visual experience.
Of course, at the same time, Samsung also exhibited the prototype of their latest folding screen mobile phone. After the concept machine is unfolded, it also gets a larger screen, which should be at least close to 1 1 inch flat by visual inspection. But Samsung's design is completely different from Huawei's. Samsung's mobile phone is zigzag folded, that is, it is folded twice when the whole machine is put away. You should be able to see this picture clearly. It seems that the next research and development direction of folding screen mobile phone is to change from mobile phone to large-size tablet.
At present, the latest folding screen designs of Huawei and Samsung are all designed to achieve a large screen of about 1 1 inch. Although the schemes are different, it can be seen that both mobile phones combine two cutting-edge designs and technologies. This will also lead to the third morphological upgrade of the folding screen mobile phone. Of course, it may also be the folding screen Plus version of the two companies. After all, everyone has different preferences for flat size. Some people like the size of iPadmini, while others like the size of 1 1 inch iPadPro. Moreover, supporting a larger screen will inevitably make the fuselage heavier, so the above two schemes may coexist with the existing folding screen design.
Of course, folding screens are still toys for the rich. As an ordinary user, what we can do now is to wait for the improvement of the supply chain and let the price of flexible organic light-emitting diode screens come down, and then we can gradually popularize folding screen mobile phones, which is also the development direction of smart phones in the future.
