Xiaomi founder Lei Jun once said that when the storm comes, even a pig can fly. Sure enough, when the 5G trend for smartphones is blowing, not only the old manufacturers that have stumbled in the 4G era are ready to make a comeback, but even some PC manufacturers that have never heard of being involved in the mobile phone field are now preparing to Come in and get involved? The latest news from foreign media shows that HP will now start making mobile phones.

It is reported that what was exposed this time was a foldable mobile phone from HP, so its starting point is indeed not low, and it chose the difficult field of smartphones from the beginning. , however, this may also have a lot to do with the fierce competition in the field of candy bar mobile phones today. There is no mention of the configuration of this phone, but there are already renderings.
As you can see from these pictures. Before it is folded, it is still the same as a candy bar phone, except that it does not have the rounded corners and curved design that are popular in today’s mobile phones. Therefore, the appearance feels a bit stuck in the era of iPhone 4S. It is not wrong to call it retro or backward in concept. But its folding ability is a bit amazing. Most of the mobile phones we have seen, such as Motorola Razr 5G, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G and Huawei's foldable mobile phones, can only be folded symmetrically, but this mobile phone seems to be able to start from any position. Foldable, so it is better than all current foldable phones in terms of foldability. In addition, it can also be seen that except for the three cameras on the back, there is no obvious camera hole on the screen, which makes people suspect that it may also adopt a full-screen or under-screen camera design.
In our impression, HP has always appeared as a computer manufacturer, and it just surpassed Lenovo some time ago. It has developed quite well in the PC field, but we did not expect it to be so "ambitious". However, it may be due to the situation. After all, compared with the young mobile phone industry, the PC industry has become older and is gradually declining. No matter how hard it works, it may be difficult to change the downward trend. Therefore, it must be thinking about transformation, and 5G will undoubtedly provide it with The best outlet. It is worth mentioning that according to relevant media reports, manufacturers preparing to make foldable devices include PC veterans such as Intel and Dell. With the entry of these manufacturers in the future, we can also foresee the future of the mobile phone industry. Competition will only intensify.
