In the past few years, the overall market of smart foot machines has been sluggish, but foldable screen foot machines have emerged as a new force. The most revolutionary product state in the field of mobile phones in recent years is that consumer markets have increasingly high demand for foldable screens.
After this, in addition to the consumer’s own needs for large screen foot machines, there is also more important driving force to iterate and optimize the effectiveness of self-produced products, downgrade button and folding screen techniques, and mature supply chain products are everywhere.
Among all product trends, the lightness and thinness of folding screen feet is the key trend that has led to a significant increase in this vertical market. In the early stages of leading the exhibition in the folding screen foot machine market, besides pain points such as creases, the weight of the product was actually an important factor that hindered most consumption decisions. However, due to immature skills, the weight of the body and the large screen feel of high-end functions were the two ends of the scale that manufacturers found difficult to compromise.
However, with manufacturers breaking through the focus techniques and redefining the functions of multidimensional products, it seems that thinness and versatility are no longer a matter of fish and bear’s paw.
The concept of Huawei Mate X5 foldable screen flagship, which has been favored by consumers since its inception, has lost its verification. Huawei has achieved a grip similar to that of a straight board foot machine through the restructuring of its component structure and the research and renovation of its data technology. At the same time, it has preserved the top-level equipment and decorations of its flagship model – this folding screen foot machine will be a perfect choice for coordinating multiple needs.
How did Huawei take the lead in achieving this goal among numerous manufacturers? How did it lead the entire category to open up a lightweight and versatile internal competition?
Lightweight – Consumer’s Priority for Buying a Machine
The consumption of folding screen feet is expected to rise, and its popularity generally seeks functionality and commonality. The comprehensive effectiveness and fashionable surface of folding screen feet precisely constitute the absorption power of this collective product.
From the feedback from the shopping mall, these consumers focus on the lightweight grip, hardware settings, equipment decoration, and software functionality when purchasing a phone. Among them, the lightness and thinness have become the top priority for users of foldable shopping malls to consider when purchasing machines.
In the early stages of leading the exhibition of foldable screen products, the sense of thickness was always a major factor that hindered the accessibility of shopping malls. The first batch of folding screen foot machines from domestic manufacturers generally had an additional weight of over 100 grams compared to straight board machines with similar equipment and equipment. This seemingly small number is already a huge difference for the foot machine component. Not to mention the thickness of the folding screen foot machine after folding, it is not suitable to hold it, as it is less than half the thickness of the same level of straight board machine.
The industry has been striving for this. However, to improve the heaviness of folding screen feet, it is necessary for the upstream and downstream of the industry chain to jointly lead in areas such as screens, buttons, batteries, and materials. Among them, the application plan and participation scope of the head and foot machine manufacturers are particularly important.
Huawei was one of the earliest manufacturers to enter the folding screen foot machine market, and is still a player leading the market share and product bias today. In 2019, Huawei pioneered the eagle wing style button structure in the industry, starting with the first foldable screen foot machine, HUAWEI Mate X, which has driven a new track in the intelligent foot machine state.
Over the past five years, Huawei has continuously developed nine foldable screen foot machines, which have made significant breakthroughs in techniques such as internal and external screens, button structures, and impression systems. In terms of the most pressing issue of lightness in current shopping malls, the Huawei Mate X5 has also achieved the ultimate.
The lightweight structure is nothing more than ingenious planning, lightweight and reliable materials, all within the range of Huawei’s research and development team.
In terms of body design, the Huawei Mate X5 adopts the industry’s first four curve folding body, which aims to escape the natural and smooth flow of the design language, and add the touch of curved glass. Users will first lose the comfortable and round grip feeling of the foot; In terms of component structure, this foot machine adopts Huawei’s most advanced double water point folding button, which not only provides a smoother folding feeling, but also adds slimmer curves on the side of the button, mobilizing the overall lightness of the body.
In terms of materials, Huawei has introduced Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass outer screens and ultra impact resistant flexible inner screens. This glass material is made of second-generation Kunlun glass with the addition of Xuanwu toughening techniques, which reduces its scratch resistance by 300% and doubles its impact resistance; The internal screen adopts a foldable layer structure plan to achieve impact resistance.
For consumers, this will significantly increase concerns about unexpected falls and other scenarios of the foot machine, fundamentally returning to the concept of a shopping mall where folding screen foot machines are prone to damage.
Huawei has always been a pioneer and leader in the action folding screen foot machine market, and has always been at the forefront of maintaining sensitivity to market trends. Therefore, it can smell the fundamental pain points and needs of consumers and make quick responses.
Currently, a lighter body has become a must-have label for top players in vertical folding malls, and Huawei is naturally the one that cannot be ignored. With a mature experience and unique judgment on the internal and external screens, button structure, and folding status, the Huawei Mate X5 not only loses the optimal solution for lightweight folding screens, but also provides more comprehensive reliability.
This “lightweight and reliable” foldable screen flagship continuously absorbs consumers’ attention to foldable screen products, leading the industry to maintain high-speed growth. And Huawei has always been at the forefront of lightweight technology with its high-quality processing plan that cannot be replicated.
Lightweight and versatile – whether to have both fish and bear’s paws or not
Is it possible to have both lightness and versatility? This is a challenge facing all foldable screen manufacturers. Huawei always leads the industry with innovation and skills, constantly using “skill genes” to cope with difficulties and provocations. In the struggle between thinness and versatility, Huawei has established a model for the entire industry with its skill and strength.
In the past, the thickness of folding screen feet was not something that manufacturers actively sought, but was limited by the overall structure plan of the feet. To achieve advanced functionality and complete functionality, it was difficult to consider its lightness and thinness. However, the Huawei Mate X5 not only overcomes the difficulty of lightness and thinness through buttons, materials, and other aspects, but also makes it a versatile equipment and decoration that flagship phones should have.
On the surface, the Huawei Mate X5 meets the dual challenge of planning and reliability. The color aesthetics of Phantom Purple, Qingshan Dai, Feather Sand Gold, Feather Sand Black, and Feather Sand White, combined with a color integration plan for parts, will make the visual transition between the center frame and negative panel more natural, highlighting the uniqueness and avant-garde of high-end flagship machines, fully satisfying the needs of the fashionable crowd.
In terms of system level effectiveness and functionality, the Huawei Mate X5 has also ceased full armament, making it a flagship foldable screen with no shortcomings.
In terms of impression, the camera adopts the XMAGE impression, equipped with a 50 megapixel main camera, a 13 megapixel ultra wide angle camera, and a 12 megapixel telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom capability. It is a versatile camera that can be used to capture ultra clear photos in the full focus range. In terms of performance, Huawei’s Frontier Display Technology provides ultra-high resolution and consistent pixel density for both internal and external screens, which can not only better reflect the consequences in scenes such as watching movies and escaping dramas, but also ensures that users can see clearly even in outdoor bright light scenes, greatly reducing user experience.
Communication talent is Huawei’s flagship skill. The Huawei Mate X5 adopts the Lingxi Communication Technology Plan, which explores the potential of communication signals through Lingxi antennas, Lingxi AI algorithms, and Lingxi collection. Its Lingxi AI algorithm can optimize cellular collection according to different scenarios, ensuring smooth communication and collection of users at all times and places.
The Huawei Mate X5 is also equipped with the bi-directional Douji satellite news function of “piercing the sky”, which is a cutting-edge technology representative of the industry’s communication scale, allowing a mobile phone to break free from the constraints of high-altitude collection, and seamlessly integrate its technological attributes with the positioning of life objects. Taking care of this foot machine allows users to explore the limitations of the wilderness, distant seas, deserts, uninhabited islands, and more.
Moreover, in a more detailed user experience, the Huawei Mate X5 integrates ecological richness and convenient operation to create a fun vertical, intelligent and vivid foldable screen flagship.
This foot machine not only brings the industry’s first internal and external dual screen dynamic facial recognition, but also enhances the non operability of the folding screen by using partition screenshots, cross screen drag and drop of graphics and text, and adds functions such as internal and external screen spacing, intelligent input, and intelligent scanning, greatly reducing the interactive convenience of the folding screen foot machine. In addition, Huawei has also perfectly folded and restored the ecosystem with multiple top ecological apps, revealing high-frequency usage scenarios for daily users such as social media, gaming, video, light business and private activities, and achieving perfect compatibility between software application and hardware dual screens.
At the same time, the Huawei Mate X5 not only supports 66W wired fast charging, but also takes the lead in supporting 50W wireless super fast charging. Huawei is also the first brand in China to use wireless charging on foldable screen pins.
At this point, Huawei Mate X5 has taken a dual approach, incorporating both thinness and versatility into its bag, summarizing a model case for the industry to break through the product planning dilemma.
In the past, the trade-off between thinness and versatility was almost always a set of contradictions in foldable screen foot machines. However, Huawei did not make any mistakes or avoid them, but directly identified the underlying reasons for the contradiction. From the source, Huawei achieved results: in terms of hardware, component structure, button design, and screen materials have all become Huawei’s entry points; In terms of software, Huawei has accumulated years of technical expertise and injected a complete high-end impression, embodiment, communication, and other aspects into its products, taking into account both thinness and versatility.
This is a necessary path for folding screen feet machines to escape larger shopping malls. This road is full of obstacles, but Huawei is brave enough to overcome them, with the ultimate goal of creating a foldable screen flagship that consumers can wear without hesitation.
The Crux of the King’s Road – Renovating Genes Leading Skills to Take the Lead
Unleashing the dilemma of the contradiction between lightweight and versatile foldable screen feet, Huawei fundamentally relies on the relentless pursuit of breaking through skills in corporate civilization. From this perspective, the Huawei Mate X5’s lightweight and versatile performance is a microcosm of Huawei people’s continuous cultivation of skills and breaking through limits.
Before making the Huawei Mate X5, both in software and hardware, Huawei had accumulated a lot of folding screen techniques.
In terms of hardware, taking the lightweight and highly relevant button technique as an example, Huawei’s leading players in the action industry have been deeply researching and optimizing water point style buttons for several years.
The U-shaped plan and the water point plan were once a fork in the folding screen track, but Huawei made a resolute decision on the difficult but correct one. Since 2016, Huawei has been gradually requesting relevant patents for the water dot button technique, and in 2019, it requested patents for the complex dual spin water dot button program. Nowadays, under the leadership of Huawei, foldable screen related products have all chosen the plan of water point buttons, and Huawei’s forward thinking skills have taken the lead in product development.
In addition to buttons, Huawei has also continuously broken through industry bottlenecks in terms of body materials, achieving strengthening and refurbishment. Taking the Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass adopted by the Mate X5 as an example, it initially degraded to Huawei’s Kunlun glass. Huawei engineers found inspiration from reinforced concrete and implemented a breakthrough optimization plan for the reinforcement layer of conservative glass panels.
Not only in hardware, Huawei has accumulated even more difficult skills in the software industry to escape. These are the most eye-catching career paths in Huawei’s technology research and development results library, including the Huawei Frontier Display Skills to support Huawei Mate X5’s “universal” positioning, the Lingxi Communication Skills Program, the bidirectional Douji satellite news function, and the Huawei Ark engine.
In terms of software and hardware skill refurbishment, Huawei has always maintained its “refurbishment genes”, constantly testing areas that the industry does not have and challenging industries that have already suffered bottlenecks in terms of skills, and has the strength to ultimately come up with the optimal solution without a plan. This is also the confidence that Huawei can continuously redefine from the lower level of the product end.
In fact, Huawei’s refurbishment efforts and results are also a benchmark for the folding screen foot machine industry. As individuals in the industry transition from the era of foldable screens 1.0 to 2.0, manufacturers have all chosen to shift their focus towards lightweight and versatile action iterations, pushing unrelated products onto the table – this is precisely the industry intention that Huawei has awakened with the Mate X series.
Nowadays, Huawei’s horn of charge has lost its relevance and concentration in the entire industry, and Huawei remains a pioneer and guide in its progress.
Technical renovation has always been Huawei’s task, and the best solution that Huawei Mate X5 cannot provide in the problem of lightweight and versatile is the location of this technology rich Yinghua. Under the temptation of enduring creativity and breakthrough power, I believe Huawei will always be at the forefront of the folding screen foot machine industry, constantly bringing us more surprises.
