Some time ago, many netizens were arguing Meizu MX2 、 Coolpad Grand View: Who is the thinnest frame of HD9960? With the launch of Nubia Z5, the debate has escalated again. Xiaoji knows that some netizens used vernier calipers to measure before, but the defect of the measurement is that there is a measurement error of about 0.1mm. As long as the hand shakes or clamps a little, the results are different (for example, when the Xiaoji measures the 6.55mm thickness of Vivo X1, the results are often between 6.6-6.7mm, and finally it gets 6.55 after clamping). So after reviewing the mathematics of the first day of the junior high school, It was decided to use Pythagorean theorem to calculate according to official data.
Calculation method: If the phone width and the diagonal length of the screen are known, the screen width can be calculated according to the Pythagorean theorem and the proportional relationship between the screen resolution, and then the border thickness can be calculated.
Manual calculation is too troublesome, so the minicomputer uses Excel to calculate:
Step 1: First, establish the following table and fill in all the parameters provided by the official (beige part):
Step 2: Convert inch to mm, 1 inch=25.4mm:
Step 3: Then convert the resolution to scale. We need to use the Excel function GCD, which is used to take the maximum common divisor:
Step 4: The maximum common divisor of resolution is obtained, and we can convert it into a scale relationship like 16:9:
Step 5: Then enter our previous formula in the screen width box to calculate the screen width:
Step 6: Border thickness=(phone width - screen thickness)/2
Step 7: In the same way, calculate the border thickness of other mobile phones, and drag it with the formula copy function of Excel.
From this we can see that if the official data is reliable, the "thinnest border mobile phone" is still Meizu MX2. However, the border thickness of the above four mobile phones is very close, and the difference between them even reaches the third place after the decimal point. Ordinary people can't distinguish such subtle differences. In addition, netizens said that because different mobile phones have different shapes, such as the cross section of Nubia is a trapezoid that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, the above method can only be used as a reference. However, the minicomputer thinks that it is better to compare whose system optimization and user experience are better than whose frame is the thinnest, which is what users really need.
