Folding screen mobile phone introduction and recommendation

Into 2023, the major mobile phone mainstream manufacturers of folding screen mobile phone products can be described as hundreds of chorus, and generally have been updated to folding screen 2.0, and even some brands have been updated to folding screen 3rd generation products (such as vivo X Fold2, HUAWEI Mate X3, etc.), the technology is more and more mature.

The world's first foldable mobile phone is the FlexPai, a domestically produced Flexpai mobile phone in 2018, which is not well known. Later, let the folding screen mobile phone really enter the public field of vision, is Samsung's Galaxy Fold series released in February 2019, and then Huawei, MOTOROLA, Nubia and other released their first folding screen mobile phone.

Although Huawei's first foldable screen phone Mate X was released on November 15, 2019, the current foldable screen phone is still a niche new product and is still in the preliminary stage of exploration. For friends who want to try fresh food, it is strongly recommended to go to the offline stores of various brands to touch the machine, and then make relevant purchase decisions.

According to the different "folding" properties, the folding screen mobile phone is divided into horizontal folding, vertical folding, internal folding, external folding, etc., and the most common is the "horizontal + internal folding" model.

First, what are the advantages of folding screen mobile phones?

Advantages are as follows: large screen, good view, convenient office, very cool, easy to carry (vertical folding model)

The biggest advantage of foldable phones is obvious, which is a larger screen and a more open viewing experience. Although many people complain that today's mobile phones are too large to operate with one hand, they do add a lot of good experiences in watching videos, playing games, doing business and so on.

Second, what are the disadvantages of folding screen mobile phones?

Disadvantages: heavy body (horizontal folding model), insufficient battery life, crease problems can not be avoided, many APP screen display ratio is incompatible, some system UI is not adapted, the price is too high, high maintenance costs, easy to damage.

Intuitively, the biggest problem facing the folding screen mobile phone is its bloated size and heavy body.

Although many manufacturers are also trying to make progress, but the folding screen mobile phone is still not suitable for most people to start, I hope that one day in the future, the folding screen mobile phone will become the new mainstream mobile phone, just like the large screen mobile phone that was not optimistic.
