On the evening of January 16, 2018 (Beijing time), ZTE Mobile officially released ZTE AXON M, a folding dual screen mobile phone, in Beijing. At present, the phone has been launched in the United States, Japan and other overseas regions. Today, ZTE brings us its version of the Bank of China.
ZTE AXON M is the first flagship of ZTE's global terminal after the change of command. It is somewhat different from the "ZTE" we used to know in terms of design and functionality.
Although ZTE did not emphasize the appearance of this mobile phone too much at the press conference, in fact, whether it is a double screen 2.5 glass or a hinged metal design, the control of the details of this mobile phone is very up to standard, which makes people feel very exquisite. Although it is a folded double screen, there is no looseness at the hinge in the on-site experience machine. After the double screen is buckled firmly, the whole machine will not loosen. The overall workmanship is very solid.
ZTE AXON M slides on the low bar to call up the virtual key menu. Click the "M" key to select the current split screen mode.
At first, the author, like most users, was worried about the application adaptation of ZTE AXON M, but in fact, ZTE AXON M has a variety of split screen modes, and even does not need applications for adaptation. Dual screen can directly open two application displays and operate at the same time. In this split screen mode, applications do not need to be adapted, which is equivalent to opening two apps and displaying them on two screens.
What really needs to be adapted may be game apps, for example, one screen is used as a display, and the other screen is used as a virtual key to manipulate/display auxiliary content, similar to the dual screen of Nintendo 3DS.
Although the first time I learned that ZTE AXON M is a double screen folding, the first feeling was that it was a gimmick, but after actual use, I found that this might be the gimmick most users want. It is conceivable that whether it is a split screen or a whole large screen, its application scenarios are indeed numerous, including social+video, email+web, game+live broadcast, web+social, etc. On the contrary, due to the existence of black edges in the full screen mode, some of its application scenarios are slightly limited. For example, when watching videos in full screen, you may mind its black edges, However, if full screen is used as static mode, the influence of "black edge" will be reduced.
Although ZTE AXON M is not the first mobile phone in the world to use the dual screen folding design, it is indeed the most comfortable dual screen folding mobile phone for users to use. The dual screen application scenarios are also very rich. This biggest feature is actually not its gimmick. The only pity is that Xiaolong 821 has dragged its feet. At this time, the initiative has been given to users, Are you willing to sacrifice some performance in exchange for some more interesting features.
