For the domestic smartphone market, this is another lively night.
On the eve of the launch of the International Consumer Electronics Show in Berlin, Glory held a new overseas launch conference. Zhao Mingyi threw a blockbuster in a hurry: the 'true and comprehensive screen' with the lifting structure glory Magic 2, the official said 'close to 100%' Comprehensive screen.
The configuration of the Kirin 980, 40W fast charge is really expected, but the eye of the spectator is finally attracted by the lifting structure. After all, this is an era of paying attention to the screen.
From the current information, Maigc 2 and Findx are different in the way they are lifted. The latter has a separate mechanical module to complete the lifting of the front and rear lenses, while the Magic 2 is the entire back cover. Slide up to extend the front lens, closer to the traditional slide phone.
Not yet waiting for the glory of this hot, the president of Xiaomi Lin Bin released a fierce material on Weibo, a mysterious new machine that also adopted the lifting structure, no accident, this is Xiaomi true flagship Mix 3. Lei Jun then Also forwarded this Weibo, and said that it is working overtime to mass production, it seems to verify the authenticity of this new machine.
4. At night, the mechanical structure seemed to be mainstream from the pioneers and the niche.
But this also means that, at night, the two major domestic mobile phone manufacturers also fell into the big hole in the mechanical structure.
To understand this problem, let's look back at the source and see what the slider phone that used to be popular is like.
In the Saipan era, in order to make the big screen and the physical keyboard coexist better, the slider design came into being, which allowed the physical keyboard to hide behind the screen when it was not used, thus achieving the situation without excessively sacrificing volume. Realized the combination of fish and bear's paw.
Once the Emperor: Nokia N96
The same was true of the early Android machines. The signature design of the MOTO Milestone series was a side-sliding solid QWERTY keyboard, but it made the body too thick, and the on-screen keyboard was enough for everyday use, and the design slowly disappeared.
MOTO Milestone 2
The N96 is an excellent design, but Magic 2 and Mix 3 are not, why? Compare the slider structure of the two years with two indicators.
The first one, created a noun: 'slidable effective use area'. N96 and milestone slide module area is fully utilized, the entire entity can play the role of the keyboard, without the waste of space.
The Magic 2 and Mix 3 are designed to slide the entire body, extending only one (group) front lens. And from the current information, most of them need to be manually slid, so you can't realize structured light like Find X. Face recognition.
In addition, Find X relies on this mechanical module to hide the rear lens together and get a fairly pure back panel, and the two are naturally gone.
At this time, in fact, like Nex, a small piece of lens module is quietly extended (although it is not a perfect solution), so there is no need to be so motivated.
Second, it is necessary.
Is it necessary to make a slide cover for N97? Of course, because it solves the two needs of the big screen and the physical keyboard, and makes the length of the body not return and exaggerate, the thickness is also kept within a reasonable interval.
But Magic 2 and Mix 3 are different, and it's a bit more confusing for the screen.
If measured by the theory of buckets that are said to be rotten, the screen ratio can be up to 8 points without mechanical structure, but the volume, weight, and heat dissipation of the whole machine can also achieve 8 points. In addition, the saved interior Space also allows for better battery capacity, camera modules, NFC, etc.
With the mechanical structure, the screen ratio can indeed achieve 10 points, but the whole machine must make a huge sacrifice for the mechanical structure. The rest of the indicators can only be reduced to 6 points or even lower, and the overall experience is determined. , often the short board.
Find X uses a top lift module to bring a pure look and an integrated visual impact on the front and back, and tonight these two 'slider' new machines have the same sacrifice, but they can bring The promotion is even less.
To sum up, the increase in screen ratio is the original intention. The human eye always wants a bigger screen, but the palm always wants a smaller body. The screen ratio is hoped to solve this contradiction. In order to solve a contradiction, we can introduce more contradictions, which is upside down. In the era of touch screen, the mechanical structure is undoubtedly a transitional solution, not too true.
Of course, the real machine has not yet been listed, and everything may be just a smoke bomb. Just hope, domestic manufacturers can not dig into the corner, innovation is good, but don't innovate for innovation, not to innovate for the innovation of friends.
