Generally speaking, in 20 18 years, most of the smart phone screens launched by mobile phone manufacturers were above 6 inches.
So, what will happen to the mobile phone screen in 20 19 years?
Let's take a look at the latest "masterpieces" of mobile phone manufacturers.
On 2018101October 3 1 day, nubia launched a dual-screen mobile phone nubia X.
65438+February 1 1, vivo launched the dual-screen version of vivo NEX.
The biggest highlight of the design of dual-screen mobile phone is to remove the front camera, earpiece and other components from the forehead of the mobile phone, so that the front screen has no bangs and water droplets and becomes a real front screen, commonly known as "true full screen". When users take selfies or video chat, they need to use the mobile phone in reverse, and the rear camera replaces the original front camera to shoot.
So, will dual-screen mobile phones become popular mobile phones in 20 19 years?
In fact, as early as 20 17, Meizu launched the Pro 7 series mobile phone with dual-screen design. On the left side of the back is a 1.9-inch color display AMOLED sub-screen, which provides a variety of functions including dual camera self-timer.
YOTA, a Chinese and Russian mobile phone brand, also launched a dual-screen mobile phone YOTA 3 on 20 17, with a 5.2-inch electronic ink screen on the back. However, in terms of sales volume, the above two mobile phones have not caused much waves in the market.
Sun Yanbiao, president of the First Mobile Phone Research Institute, believes that dual-screen mobile phones are probably just transitional products, which are the product of the current difficulties in screen innovation. The demand they meet is "pseudo demand" and the price is not cheap.
Recently, Caijing.com conducted a survey on dual-screen mobile phones. The results show that nearly 70% of users think that dual-screen is difficult to become a trend.
Liu Qicheng, an expert in communication industry, said that in 20 19 years, mobile phone manufacturers will continue to pursue the ultimate comprehensive screen, and in various schemes, digging design may be the trend.
As the development form of Liu Haiping and water drop screen, the hole digging screen showed an upward trend at the end of 20 18. Many people in the digital industry think that 20 19 hole digging screen will be a big trend. Compared with the small-scale competition of dual-screen mobile phones, hole-digging screen mobile phones have long been competed by giants such as Samsung and Huawei.
20 18 12, first Samsung released the new Galaxy A8s, followed by Huawei nova4 and glory V20. From the appearance, these three mobile phones all adopt the design of digging holes in the upper left corner of the screen, but the official statement is different. Galaxy A8s claims to be Samsung's first "Kurome Full Screen" mobile phone with in-screen aperture technology; Huawei nova4 is known as "the ultimate full screen", which is the first screen blind hole scheme; Glory V20 adopts "full screen" process.
From a technical point of view, the difference between these three mobile phones is that the Galaxy A8s is dug through holes, while Huawei nova4 and Glory V20 are dug through holes. There is a liquid crystal layer and a backlight layer between the glass panel of the mobile phone and the bottom layer of the fixed front camera. The difference between these two digging techniques is that the liquid crystal layer and the backlight layer are punched at the same time, while the blind hole only punches the backlight layer, and the liquid crystal layer does not.
The global position of Huawei and Samsung in the mobile phone industry makes the design of digging holes not be ignored by mainstream manufacturers.
It is reported that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S 10 will adopt a front camera with a hole in the upper right corner, and the new Moto P40 will also adopt a hole-digging screen scheme.
Among all kinds of full-screen designs, lifting camera and sliding full-screen once became the focus of hot discussion in the market.
In June of 20 18, vivo NEX and OPPO Find X were listed one after another. The similarity between the two mobile phones is that some components are hidden by automatic lifting to achieve no "bangs". The front camera of vivo NEX automatically rises and falls, and OPPO Find X hides many components such as 3D structured light components, front camera, earpiece and rear dual camera in the dual-track periscope structure.
However, due to the increase in the thickness and weight of mobile phones caused by the lifting design, the possible loss of internal components caused by mechanized lifting, and the low cost performance of black technology, these two mobile phones have been controversial. 20 18 in the fourth quarter, Xiaomi, Glory and Lenovo each launched a slide-type full-screen mobile phone, and all of them were compared.
Luo Yonghao, CEO of Hammer Technology, predicted in a public activity on 20 18 that in 20 19, the whole mobile phone industry will basically adopt the mobile phone screen without bangs, and most manufacturers will adopt the lifting camera scheme of vivo NEX, and even the hammer will be adopted without accident.
Some insiders believe that although OPPO Find X is dazzling, it has high cost and little practical value, and most manufacturers should not adopt such a scheme. In addition, some manufacturers should adopt sliding cover design.
Sun Yanbiao analyzed that the sliding cover is an "ancient" design and should not be an "innovation" in the future. Many enterprises are unwilling to adopt automatic lifting motor module, one of the main reasons is that its price is too high, but now the price of automatic lifting module has been reduced, and lifting camera scheme will be a trend of 20 19.
Wang Yanhui, Secretary-General of China Mobile Alliance, said that all screens, such as water drop screen, digging screen, sliding cover and double screen, belong to the same category, and they are all minor upgrades of Liu Haiping, which can be used as both a big article and a folding screen.
20 17 10, ZTE released a folding mobile phone, ZTE Axon M, but at that time, under the leadership of iPhone X, Liu Haiping was more popular.
20 18, 10, Yu Rou Science and Technology launched a FlexPai smartphone with outward folding screen design. The following month, 1 10, Samsung presented a prototype with the folding screen scheme of Infinity Flex Display at its developer conference, which adopted an inward folding design.
Previously, OPPO folding screen related patents were exposed, and Huawei executive Yu Chengdong said in an interview with other media that Huawei would launch a 5G folding screen mobile phone.
The folding screen is divided into two forms: inward folding and outward folding. Sun Yanbiao said that according to the accurate information he got, Samsung has been able to solve the technical problem of internal folding, but the Samsung screen will not be supplied to other manufacturers, but will only be used by itself. In addition, it is uncertain whether the function of folding hands can lead the trend.
Liu Qicheng, an expert in communication industry, believes that many manufacturers are developing folding screens at present, but the bending design of folding screens is difficult to present perfectly in terms of experience and beauty, and the material and technical problems have not been solved.
"20 19 folding screen may not be the mainstream. Only when there is a breakthrough in materials in the future can (consumers) have a better experience. Nowadays, folding screens are mostly gimmicks. " Liu Qicheng said.
