Samsung mobile phone company, which has used big plastic for thousands of years, finally can't stand the constant complaints from the outside media and consumers and chooses to use metal frames on the Galaxy S5 for the first time? If you really use a metal frame, will you really buy a Samsung phone?
From the so-called Samsung Galaxy S5 advanced version (name may be: Galaxy S5 Prime）， From this news, it seems that the Galaxy S5 Prime is likely to abandon the 10000 year old plastic and choose to use a metal frame.
From this exposed spy photo, the frame of the Galaxy S5 Prime is much narrower than the frame of the Galaxy S5. The widening of the frame of the Galaxy S5 may be due to the addition of the waterproof function, so that a larger internal position has to be reserved to place waterproof rings and related parts. The restoration of narrow borders on the Galaxy S5 Prime is likely due to the replacement of border materials. And we can also see that, Galaxy S5 Prime The outer circle of metal color frame is a little thicker than the Galaxy S5, but the screen frame is much narrower than the Galaxy S5. If the thickened part is really a metal frame, it really does not need to reserve more space and thickness to strengthen the strength of the fuselage like the plastic frame, but directly uses a circle of metal frame to replace the thick plastic parts, It can also further narrow the border.
From the figure, we can also see that the long waterproof sealing ring at the bottom still exists, so we can confirm that the functions of USB 3.0 and waterproof body can still be retained, and we have to say that Samsung still has a hand in it.
It is reported that Samsung will apply the 2K resolution Super AMOLED screen to the Galaxy S5 Prime for the first time, so the Galaxy S5 Prime will get a better screen performance. In fact, the 1080P Super AMOLED on the Galaxy S5 has a very good screen performance. Compared with any previous Samsung flagship machine, the color performance is much better, and the screen fineness is also quite good. This time, we need to drive the 2K screen. I don't know how the Exynos 5430 or Xiaolong 805 will perform. It can only be evaluated after the real machine is used.
The back seems to have not changed much. It is still a Band Aid intensive design. However, considering the design change of the middle frame, it is possible that the back cover of the Galaxy S5 Prime and the Galaxy S5 cannot be used in common.
Well, here comes the problem. If Samsung, which has never used metal materials, really used metal materials as you asked, would you buy them? Hmm... I'm afraid that the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime will not change much after the use of metal materials. Samsung diehards will still buy Samsung, those who like performance and photography will still buy Samsung, but those who resist Samsung will not buy Samsung because they use metal materials.
In fact, "you can't buy anything other than metal". Most of these words are a pretext or a point of complaint for not buying Samsung mobile phones. If you don't buy a Samsung mobile phone, there are more aspects: the appearance design is relatively simple, even a little ugly. The UI is bloated and ugly. Heating problem and unstable battery. In particular, the recent news of Samsung mobile phone explosion and scalding of little girls has made some consumers more resistant to Samsung mobile phones.
However, although I believe that the final sales of the Galaxy S5 Prime is also gratifying, the crazy marketing promotion is a great trick of Samsung, and Samsung mobile phone company's investment in marketing promotion is even more than the investment in new mobile phone research and development.
In addition, there are still many rich people in China. Xiao Bian has seen the Samsung standard three piece suit several times: with Note 3 in his hand, Note 10.1 under his arm, and Gear on his wrist. When looking at the time, I also waved my wrist so that the screen would automatically light up to see the time. In a moment, the breath of local tyrants came to my face. This group of local tycoons can be said to be the most loyal consumers of Samsung mobile phones. Basically, they will buy new ones at once, because Samsung is indeed a status symbol in the eyes of Chinese people. I'm afraid most of the people who think that Samsung is inferior are young and modern. Most of the old generation of local tycoons are still very fond of Samsung. Because of this, some wage earners, even though they are not well paid, buy either iPhones or Samsung mobile phones for the sake of face. This psychology also makes Samsung's mobile phone sales will never be poor.
However, the cost performance ratio will be much lower than that of domestic manufacturers with fierce competition. Even so, Samsung mobile phones still maintain a large market share in China. We know that the cost performance war in China is not enough to burn Samsung's eyebrows. In addition, Samsung mobile phones in the parallel channel are diving too fast and splashing too much. This is especially true for some high-end models, such as the newly launched Galaxy S5, which has a price difference of 1000 yuan a week apart, which is really unacceptable. Fortunately, the price has stabilized now.
However, aside from the question of whether they will buy it, the performance of high-end Samsung mobile phones has always been very good, especially Samsung's own Exynos processor in terms of performance is really excellent, which also makes some people have a unique complex about Exynos processors. Although TouchWiz is relatively bloated, it is relatively complete and smooth. Samsung's optimization of mobile phones is also in place. In terms of photography, Samsung has always been the best and most balanced mobile phone manufacturer in the Android formation. Battery life, Samsung's latest Galaxy S5 has made considerable improvements in power optimization. Therefore, enthusiasts who like performance first and take photos with their mobile phones (let's first say that the Galaxy S5 takes photos, especially the HDR capability is really excellent) may still focus on Samsung's mobile phones when selecting mobile phones.
Therefore, the consumers who will eventually pay for Samsung's mobile phones are still those people. Those who are resistant to Samsung will still not buy. So how about you? Will you consider purchasing Samsung mobile phones made of metal?
