A revolutionary product that inspires the times! Huawei Mate X, a foldable phone, brings a whole new user experience

2019 has come to an end, and the annual flagships of various companies have been unveiled. Although major brands have made great efforts in flagship phones this year, the most eye-catching mass-produced phone this year is the Huawei Mate X, a folding phone launched by Huawei, which has surprised the industry and consumers. This is also because the technology of folding screen phones is very difficult. Currently, many brands are unable to mass-produce folding phones. Although the Galaxy Fold launched by the veteran manufacturer Samsung is also a folding product, through the comparison of hinge technology, camera module design, and interactive innovation, we can also see that Huawei Mate X does have more advantages in technology.

So what problems does the Samsung Galaxy Fold's inward folding solution bring? According to the disassembly conclusion of the well-known foreign media iFixit, the hinge structure of the Galaxy Fold is a major cause. The hinge sealing causes the OLED to be damaged, resulting in black screen, screen flickering and screen bulges.

Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Fold's inward folding design, Huawei's Mate X adopts a four-layer structure design based on the flexible screen's outward folding solution, of which the top layer is a polymer screen protection layer, the second layer is a bendable flexible screen, the third layer is a soft rubber support sheet, and the bottom layer is a hinge. As a precision transmission component, the hinge is undoubtedly the most core part, so Huawei chose the eagle-wing folding solution with the best reliability, weight, and consumer experience.

The eagle-wing hinge system can seamlessly support the screen and fold, allowing the phone to truly achieve an integrated perfect folding form. The screen can be freely switched between the folded state and the unfolded state, tightly fitting when closed and opening up to provide a wide field of view. In the folded state, the Huawei Mate X is a dual-screen phone with a main screen of 6.6 inches and a secondary screen of 6.38 inches. The main screen is a complete full screen with a high screen-to-body ratio, which is no different from mainstream flagship phones. In the fully unfolded state, the 8-inch screen can be opened and closed 180°, which is just the size of a small tablet, and the entire screen has no gaps. With the ultra-high screen-to-body ratio, the visual experience is excellent.

In addition to having a more outstanding hinge technology than the Samsung Galaxy Fold, the Huawei Mate X not only achieves a foldable form, but also innovates the interaction mode. For example, it can split the screen of multiple applications. With the support of the 8-inch large screen, the split screen function becomes more convenient. When multiple applications are opened, it will not interfere with another APP, and it can bring a new experience in different scenarios such as web browsing, reading, email viewing and writing.

In terms of camera, Huawei Mate X benefits from the external folding solution brought by the eagle-wing hinge design. The whole machine uses only one set of cameras to complete front and back shooting. In terms of camera configuration, it is equipped with a rear Leica quad-camera consisting of a 40-megapixel ultra-sensitive camera (wide-angle, f/1.8 aperture) + a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera (f/2.2 aperture) + an 8-megapixel telephoto camera (f/2.4 aperture, supports OIS optical image stabilization) + and a ToF camera, and supports autofocus and AIS image stabilization. Due to the immature hinge design of Samsung Galaxy Fold, the whole machine is equipped with multiple camera modules, and they are all relatively independent, which inevitably causes the problem of excessive stacking of hardware devices.

Folding screen mobile phones have been publicly recognized as the future development direction of the mobile phone industry. The domestic brand Huawei is leading the development in this direction. At the same time, Huawei Mate X combines innovative technology and scenarios well, bringing innovative scenario applications. The leading hinge design also allows the overall design of the mobile phone to achieve a perfect balance between technology and aesthetics. It can be said that Huawei Mate X is a revolutionary product of the Enlightenment era, representing the ultimate innovation height of smartphones.
