Global folding of mobile phone shipments is expected to be about 900,000 in 2019, a figure that is negligible compared to 1.41 billion smartphone shipments a year in the world. Is Samsung, Huawei, Apple secretly competing for the next generation of foldable mobile phones, domestic flexible screen supplier Flexo Technology October 31, 2018 preempted the release of a flexible folding mobile phone.

But analysts believe it will take time to fold the real-scale application of mobile phones. First financial reporter from the Group Intelligence Consultation (Sigmaintell) exclusively learned that 2019 global folding mobile phone shipments are expected to be only about 900,000, mainly from Samsung and Huawei.

That number is almost negligible compared to the global smartphone shipments of 1.41 billion a year.

Why does Samsung, which holds the world's most amoled flexible screen resources, not preempt the release of folding phones? First financial reporter in an interview with Samsung's South Korea headquarters last month, Samsung Electronics sources said the key was to apply innovation rather than technology. Sigmaintell, senior analyst at Group Intelligence Consulting, told first financial reporters that Samsung introduced the concept of folding phones a few years ago, and in recent years, more and more manufacturers have begun to lay out foldable screen phones. From the point of view of mobile phone development, the second half of 2017 began, the smartphone market product form gradually from the traditional 16:9 products to the full screen transition, and the proportion of special-shaped screen is also increasing, after the full screen, the next new product form is folding, and mobile phones and tablets,

The second oneness of the form of tablet and pen electric products will become the mainstream trend in the future, which will bring great convenience to consumers. In addition, from the point of view of the Panel factory, the world's sixth generation of AMOLED flexible production line production capacity is expected to be concentrated in about 2020 years, flexible in several stages: from Samsung's initial launch of the single surface of the galaxy mobile phone, to the current hyperboloid, as well as the Apple class plane, are the initial stage of flexibility, Truly killer applications are folding products, as well as the future of all-flexible products, such products are AMOLED real ' killer ', with LCD products to form the difference, but also AMOLED panel factory capacity consumption is the key.

Folding products are the trend of the introduction. October 31, Flexo Technology released the flexible folding mobile phone flexpai, the use of FLEXO technology independent research and development of 7.8-inch full-flexible display, can achieve free bending and folding, the official said can withstand more than 200,000 bending operation.

Flexo technology This release of folding products for engineering, in the face of consumer products two months after the start of delivery, online pre-sale has been opened. Samsung and Huawei and other manufacturers will also release folding products in the near future, but initially, folding products of the overall market volume is limited, folding products can be truly large-scale commercialization, but also to the entire industrial chain together and enhance, to solve three major problems: first, folding display body, its product performance, reliability,

Life and other indicators need to meet the requirements of the brand mobile phone factory, and for the panel factory, folding product yield increase also takes a long time, followed by folding products other accessories, such as flexible cover, touch, hinge, battery and so on are of vital importance; The third is the cost, folding panel yield is low, supporting industrial chain immaturity will make the cost high. In short, folding the release of the phone, on behalf of the folding phone has been able to move from the lab to mass production, but really large-scale application, it will take time.

According to group Intelligence Consulting (Sigmaintell) data, it is expected that 2019, the global folding mobile phone size of about 900,000. and Samsung Electronics sources previously said in an exclusive interview with First financial reporters that Samsung's launch of a collapsible phone has not yet been set for a release schedule.

Folding is not the key point, Samsung has mastered the technology of foldable mobile phone, has not yet released mainly considering the practicality, hope to give foldable mobile phone in addition to folding more practical value, so or first ' endure a forbearance '. Folding phones There are only 900,000 | next year. Samsung | "Endure the |." It hasn't been released yet.
