Recently, tri-fold screen mobile phones have become a hot topic in the technology circle. In addition to Huawei, Honor and Xiaomi are also rumored to launch such products. Some media analysis said that tri-fold screen mobile phones have two major advantages and four major challenges. Among them, portability and durability are the key, but its higher screen utilization rate is also a real advantage.
CNMO learned that there are four main challenges for tri-fold screen mobile phones:
Portability – Tri-fold screen phones have one more layer than mainstream folding screen phones, so whether they can maintain a thin and light body is a very big issue;
Durability – Tri-fold screen phones increase the number of screens and require more folding actions to unfold, which puts higher requirements on the folding life;
Software adaptation: When the three-fold mobile phone is unfolded, the screen size will be larger and the screen ratio will also change. Software adaptation is related to the user experience;
Price – Some bloggers compare this phone to “electronic Moutai”, indicating that it may have a very high market premium. CNMO believes that the high premium is one aspect, and its basic selling price will obviously not be low. Some media speculate that it will reach the level of 20,000 yuan.
Of course, there are also obvious advantages to tri-fold screen phones:
Higher screen utilization rate – the three screens are unfolded into a nearly rectangular shape (equivalent to a mobile phone turning into a real tablet), which is more in line with the proportions of mainstream video and software content and has a higher screen utilization rate;
Improved productivity – It is expected that the three-part screen will be supported in the future, and with the small window mode, it can even provide an experience similar to that of a tablet or PC, greatly increasing office efficiency.
