Samsung is making a giant phone that folds in half and sells for $1,770. The Galaxy F is said to be released in March next year, and the company plans to sell one million of them in 2019.
The phone is basically a tablet that can be folded into a mobile phone, which is said to be able to open, as “snap” as the previous flip phone. but why?
Cable TV's Brian Barrett traces the history of collapsible smartphone technology in a weekend report, saying: “These scenes are tempting: you can keep your smartphone in single-screen mode on the way to the subway. Check in on Twitter and then expand it. Once you get on the train and read the New York Times, you can see the size of the tablet. This attraction is very obvious and people wonder why it took so long.”
Is that kind of scene really tempting? Is the attraction obvious enough? Maybe I missed something here, but it seems that at best it is just a possible thing, I won't scream. If I see a mobile phone folded into a tablet on the train, I would say, “Very good.” This is just one thing, just like the newspaper and the phone we currently choose. Just like the “improvement” in yogurt container design and the “tip” technology in sports shoes.
(Instead of surpassing, but I don't even recommend viewing Twitter or the New York Times on the way to and from work, especially considering how the subway technology evolved to feature information that barely worked.)
At first glance, this phone looks like iterative – an expensive device designed to entertain people who are slightly bored with the fully acceptable features of the expensive devices they already have. The debate about gadget blogs and Reddit eventually falls into the hands of those who value the party skills that are not relevant to their own skills or personality.
For example: the original concept of the phone was teased in the confusing trailer shown in the 2013 CES demo, and I encourage you to watch it all the time. It has a young woman, drinking espresso, a man wearing a lot of ugly gadgets, and is interested in making it with a man wearing a white T-shirt (classic, best looking man, I can admit !) and holds a Samsung foldable phone. This foldable phone is very new and practical, making it hot!
To be fair, the phone is boring. Are you looking at your phone and fascinated with your eyes about the possibilities of the future? No, you look at your phone and think: “Oh, thank God, another push alert. I no longer have the ability to remember to do anything – including the basic task of staying alive – no external stimuli.”
Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst and former technical director, told The Verge last week, “There is very little discussion. ‘If the foldable or curlable mobile display is the future of a smartphone, the only problem is time. And the way, this may be the reason for being bored. Who.”
Samsung is one step ahead of the competition; this small Chinese gadget maker Royole released a foldable smartphone called FlexPai last week that looks like a binder and is simply dismissed as cumbersome and not good, but in Samsung's Galaxy F existed before. So ZTE's Axon M is also true. It is “foldable” because it is basically two phones connected by hinges. Motorola plans to make a massive remake of its popular early flip phone RAZR. LG, Huawei, and even Apple have applied for patents for this or that of collapsible smartphone screens.
According to Tom Warren of The Verge, “Samsung's first device won't fully capture the potential of the design – instead, it will mark the beginning of a fierce battle for this interesting display technology.” He went on to say, ” It sounds incredible now, but we are just at the beginning of a flexible future.”
Warren also reported on the first live demonstration of the Samsung Folding Mobile Phone concept, in which the phone was mainly displayed in dark and strange situations:
Samsung refused to disclose how they made OLED screens that could bend without deteriorating. This is not a trivial matter. Suppose the screen is made of some kind of plastic, not the glass you are used to, it may be easier to scratch than your current phone. But if Samsung can perfect it, they might let other manufacturers buy their screens from them instead of developing them themselves and recover some of the cost of building a new manufacturing department.
This is also the motivation of companies like Qualcomm, which launched a 3D TV and gaming trend a few years ago to sell more professional high-performance processors. You may know that this is not going well because you don't watch 3D TV. Christopher Memes of the Wall Street Journal recently succinctly said on Twitter: “Folding mobile phones are 3D TVs in the mobile world.”
