Is folding screen a concept, or is it the future of smartphones?

Folding mobile phones will never succeed! Unless these "flaws" can be resolved

With the release of Huawei and Samsung's foldable phones in recent days, major brands have released a lot of news about their respective foldable phones. It can be seen that the competition for this folding machine is quite fierce. And the folding design is indeed very eye-catching. You can have a larger screen, you can split the screen for easy viewing, and you can also make the screen smaller when you carry it. However, folding mobile phones also have some shortcomings, which are unavoidable at least so far.

1. Without matching protective devices, it is easy to be damaged.

Foldable means that the size and shape of the phone can be changed. In other words, the film on the mobile phone or the mobile phone case worn must also be able to change with the change of the mobile phone. Without protection, it can easily cause damage to the mobile phone. Especially if the screen is folded outward like Huawei's, it is more likely to be scratched. If two films are attached, it will inevitably affect the use when not folded, and it will not look beautiful. Moreover, if it falls after being folded, the screen must be broken. If it breaks, the replacement cost is not small.

2. It is too thick and feels poor.

When you open the phone, it is almost like a tablet. When folded, you can imagine its weight. And when folded, the thickness is twice as thick as before. Therefore, the feel of this foldable phone can be imagined. Nowadays, we are pursuing thinness and lightness, but technical limitations are always deliberately placed there. Being heavy and thick is always a big problem.

3. The screen becomes larger and consumes more power, but the battery life cannot keep up.

The screen of folding mobile phones is larger, and the advantages will definitely increase. However, the mobile phone battery cannot be folded with the screen, so the space utilization rate for the battery is not high. Battery life is really worrying. Nowadays, fast charging and long battery life are advocated, and running out of battery is very troublesome, so this shortcoming will affect it.

4. Easily damaged

The folding function is easy to damage. If it is used, there will be high-frequency folding, which will be quite easy to damage. Even if there is no damage, marks will easily appear after a long time, which is unsightly and affects operation. If the screen is folded outward, it is very easy to scratch. If a mobile phone at this price is easily damaged, it is not worth buying.

5. Price

Foldable mobile phones have just been launched, so the price is naturally high. For the average person, it is really a bit expensive. However, this is indeed a normal phenomenon. After all, it is an emerging technology.

As of now, there are still many shortcomings in folding mobile phones. However, it is inevitable that the newly emerged technology will have some shortcomings, and it depends on whether future development can make up for it. However, problems such as thickness and television will still take a long time to be solved with the technology that can now be mass-produced. Therefore, there is still a long way to go for foldable mobile phones. Whether it can become the future of mobile phones or there will be other technologies to replace it remains to be seen.
