Which mobile phone with 5g folding screen is better? When will China's 5g mobile phone be officially

5g, folding screen mobile phone, the first year. In this year's Barcelona Communication Exhibition, 5g and folding screen mobile phones have become the biggest highlights. Chinese mobile phone manufacturers Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE and oppo all released their first 5g mobile phones, which attracted great attention from the industry. So when will China's 5g mobile phone be officially launched? It seems that the major brands for the folding screen mobile phones seem to have to compete.

Among them, Huawei launched the 5g foldable mobile phone mate x on February 24, with a price of nearly 17500 yuan, triggering a screen swipe. It is also seen as a major competitor to Samsung's first mainstream folding screen smartphone, the galaxy fold, launched on February 20.

Huawei mate x, on the other hand, has to face competition from domestic brands such as oppo, Xiaomi and ZTE in 5g battlefield. Their 5g mobile phones are generally planned to be officially launched in the first half of 2019.

Samsung's fold in solution can better protect the phone's screen when carrying, but it also makes the second screen on the case smaller, just 4.6 inches, according to a report on the same day by the technology website phonearena. Huawei's external folding scheme has raised concerns about external creases, but when the display screen folds up, it turns off part of the back of the phone, leaving a beautiful large display screen for regular smartphone tasks, and there is no gap in the corner formed by folding.

Huawei mate X has a larger battery capacity of 4500mAh, and officials say it can charge from 0% to 85% in 30 minutes. The Samsung Galaxy fold has a battery capacity of 4380 MAH.

In addition, Samsung Galaxy fold does not support 5g at present, while Huawei mate x mainly supports 5g with a maximum speed of 4.6gbps. Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business, said Huawei mate x is the world's fastest 5g mobile phone.

In addition to the technical parameters, the media and the public are still concerned about the high price of the two folding screen mobile phones. Samsung's Galaxy fold is nearly $500 more expensive than Apple's top iPhone, reaching $1980 (about 13200 yuan), and will go on sale on April 26, 2019. Huawei mate x, on the other hand, has a higher price of 2299 euros (about 17500 yuan), which is expected to go public in mid-2019.

In addition to Huawei and Samsung, LG has also released a dual screen folding phone, which also supports 5g. It is worth noting that this LG V50 thinq 5g mobile phone does not adopt screen fingerprint design. Instead, the fingerprint module is placed in the back to realize 3D scanning unlocking of front camera. LG did not announce the price and time of the phone.

5g mobile phones are generally compatible with 4G network

In 5g mobile phone battlefield, Huawei has to face more competitors.

Among them, oppo took the lead in releasing its first 5g mobile phone on the evening of February 23, and announced that it would be officially launched in the first half of this year; Xiaomi also released the 5g version of Xiaomi mix3 on the morning of February 24, with a price of 599 euro. On February 25, ZTE released its first 5g mobile phone, ZTE's axon 10 pro, the price of which has not yet been disclosed. TCL also presented its own folding screen concept mobile phone at the mwc2019 world mobile communication conference in Barcelona.

In terms of technical parameters, Huawei mate X's main display screen (8 inches) is larger, while the pricing of Xiaomi mix3 (599 euros) is more attractive. Moreover, the major manufacturers have generally announced that their 5g mobile phones will be compatible with 4G, 3G and even 2G networks.

According to the listing plan announced by all parties, this batch of 5g mobile phones will be listed in batches in the middle of this year.

How much longer will it take to afford it

In contrast, folding screen mobile phone players are not many. Currently, only Huawei and Samsung have announced plans to go public in June and April.

Cui Jilong, an analyst with discien consulting company, told the Securities Daily that the release of folding screen mobile phones has brought changes and more imagination space to the hardware innovation of the mobile phone industry, which is not well known in recent years. However, it is still too early to judge that the flexible screen and 5g are mature for a mobile phone.

'the maturity of an industry or product should at least be based on stable mass shipment, stable high yield and predictable stable demand. 'I don't think 5g and flexible screens have yet to reach this point, and sales are still difficult to predict. '

But foldable phones have been seen as an industry direction.

Founder Securities believes that the CAGR of mobile phones with folding screens is expected to reach 80% by 2025, which will stimulate investment opportunities in multiple industries. According to the forecast of IHS, it is estimated that 1.4 million, 5.2 million and 17.5 million mobile phones will be shipped in 2019-2021, and 50 million in 2025, with a penetration rate of 3.4% and an annual compound growth rate of 80%. The demand of foldable mobile phones for OLED displays has increased from US $250 million in 2019 to US $5.3 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 66%. The demand of folding screens for rotating shafts has increased from US $50 million in 2019 to nearly US $2 billion in 2025. Folding screens will also promote investment opportunities in the touch, battery and FPC industries.

Wanlian Securities believes that due to the high price and capacity constraints, the sales situation needs to be further confirmed, and the early plate growth is relatively large, suggesting investors to be cautious.

Then, when will the pricing of folding screen mobile phones be more user-friendly? Cui Jilong analyzes that even in the mobile phone industry with rapid iteration and rapid development, 'I think it will take at least one year' for the industry to mature its industrial chain, reduce its cost and then reduce its price.
