Huawei Releases New Folding Machine Mate X2 With Price Of 17999 Yuan To Upgrade Hongmeng Operating System Since April

On the evening of February 22, on the eve of the opening of MWC, Huawei's terminal released the latest generation of folding screen mobile phone mate x2 online, and the price was still high. The price of 256g was 17999 yuan, and that of 512g was 18999 yuan.

At the press conference, Yu Chengdong, managing director and CEO of Huawei's consumer business, first recalled: "2020 is a very difficult year for us. In addition to the epidemic, the second and third round of sanctions imposed by the United States on Huawei have caused great difficulties to our operation and work. With the support of our partners and consumers, we have survived."

At the same time, he introduced the performance of terminals in 2020. In the Chinese market, Huawei's mobile phones ranked first last year, wearable devices ranked first in the third quarter, and sales of TWS earphones increased by 80% year-on-year. "However, under the attack of the United States, the market share has recently declined. We are continuing to move forward. The strategy for the next 5-10 years is the" 1 + 8 + n "full scene strategy. At present, Huawei has more than 1 billion smart connection devices, more than 50 million hilink ecological users, and more than 580 million HMS monthly live users. " Yu Chengdong said.

Mate x2 appears

I still remember that in MWC two years ago, folding screens really came into the public's view. At that time, Huawei released the first folding machine mate X. in February 2020, Huawei launched the upgraded mate XS, both of which are folded outward.

Now, mate X2, the latest appearance, has adopted the fold in shape, and has been upgraded on the screen and shape.

According to Huawei, mate X2 is the first to create dual wedge integrated design and center of gravity offset design. That is, when the screen is opened, there are thick and thin parts. The thick part is due to the installation of the camera, so the fuselage presents a slope after deployment, the thinnest part is only 4.4 mm. After closing, the left and right screens fit each other to achieve the overall balance.

At the same time, Huawei mate x2 adopts an internal and external dual screen design. It is equipped with a 6.45 inch OLED screen on the outside and an 8-inch folding flexible OLED screen inside. It adopts the first magnetic controlled nano optical film in the industry, and has an ultra-low reflection rate of less than 1.5%.

On the core hinge, Huawei introduces that mate x2 uses double spin water drop hinge, which has achieved seamless micro mark folding in five years. The hinge system also uses a variety of special materials and processes, such as carbon fiber composite materials, zirconium based liquid metal, < 2100mpa super strong steel, etc.

In terms of chips and cameras, Huawei continues its highest configuration. Mate X2 is equipped with Kirin 9000 chip with 5nm process technology, and it is equipped with super sensing Leica four cameras, full time and full focus.

In terms of key software application adaptation, Yu Chengdong said that up to now, domestic TOP200 applications have achieved 100% large screen adaptation, top1000 applications have achieved 95% large screen adaptation, and 80% of top3000 applications have been adapted.

For Huawei, the supply chain is still a problem, and the outside world is very concerned about the progress of chips and software.

Yu Chengdong said at the meeting that mate x2 has been equipped with enough capacity, and in April this year, mate x2 will be the first batch to upgrade Hongmeng operating system. He also revealed: "Huawei's R & D and innovation on folding screen mobile phones will not stop. We will have a variety of folding screens."

In fact, Huawei is trying to find a way out under the existing development framework. Folding screen is also a new growth point of hardware, which may further gain market recognition. 5g development still needs time. It is a good survival strategy to obtain new opportunities from other growth points.

Mechanical structure reform of folding screen

From the overall market of folding screen, in 2021, folding screen will enter a period of rapid popularization and development.

On the one hand, the sales of folding screen mobile phones are rising rapidly. Chen Jun, deputy general manager and chief analyst of group intelligence consulting, told the 21st century economic report: "according to the preliminary data of sigmaitell, the global sales of folding mobile phones will be close to 4 million in 2020. It is estimated that the global sales of folding mobile phones will be nearly 11 million in 2021, and the folding handsets will exceed 10 million for the first time in 2021. The growth rate is very fast. It is estimated that the folding smart phones will be in 2025 Nearly 74 million units per year. "

At the same time, he also said that after entering 2021, the price of folding smart phones will further drop to less than 10000 yuan, and manufacturers will release relatively low-cost versions of folding phones, so as to promote the further increase of folding phones.

Besides Huawei and Samsung, apple, Xiaomi, oppo and vivo all have some new trends. It is reported that at least seven or eight new folding screen machines will be released next year, making the market more lively.

Specifically, it has been reported recently that apple is secretly developing its own folding screen technology mobile phone, and will list the folding screen technology as one of the development directions of the next generation of mobile phones. In order to meet its demand for developing folding screen mobile phones, apple recently commissioned LG display panel company of LG to develop "folding display".

Oppo released the oppo x 2021 scroll concept machine at the future science and technology conference in 2020. It uses scroll screen technology and can extend naturally like a scroll. Vivo also has related folding screen patents flowing out. The front flexible screen of this mobile phone is composed of flexible screen on the front, and the screen at the bottom can be folded back to form an independent screen. The patent is still under application.

It can be seen that in the folding screen queue, the giant's pace is accelerating, and the diversity of the screen is increasing. After the folding screen suppliers gradually mature, there are more ways to play. The head manufacturers and screen suppliers have the ability of joint research and development.

On the folding screen, big manufacturers are competing for the ability to upgrade the mechanical structure. This is the upgrading of hardware form. When Motorola and Nokia were in the ascendant, the mechanical structure capability was among the best.

In recent years, with the development of new technology and software science, we often neglect the development of hardware, which is actually the source power of the development of electronic products. With the continuous breakthrough of operating system, 5g, chip and artificial intelligence, the mechanical structure of hardware is an important upgrading direction, and in other fields, the progress of mechanical structure is just needed to promote the development.

In essence, the iPhone's move from flip flop keyboard to virtual keyboard is a kind of progress in mechanical structure. Jobs's so-called epoch-making development, a great progress is actually the progress of mechanical structure, its value is no less than the achievements of the iPhone operating system.

Of course, the folding screen may not be the only direction of mobile phone evolution in the future, but it is just a branch of it. However, it can not be denied that the emergence of folding screen is the timely rain of the mobile phone industry and the substantial progress that we all long for.

      Although the folding screen experience is not perfect and the price is high, it has important industry significance. In the case of AR / VR still blooming in the mirror, folding screen still becomes one of the few growth points in hardware products under uncertainty. The next challenge is the maturity of the supply chain, and the cost must be reduced to truly popularize it.
