It only took 3 years for the folding screen to change from "Wow Awesome" to "Nobody cares". However, in fact, folding screen mobile phones are one of the few categories growing against the trend in recent years. Now let's make an inventory and recommend the folding screen mobile phones on sale in China, ranking from top to bottom according to the recommendation index.
There are many third-party channels and pricing differences are large, so the following is the unified quotation from the official store of JD on February 3.
Basic knowledge of folding screen
Ten years ago, some users chose to use the tablet with call function as a mobile phone in order to have a large display area. Now that "tablet phones" have been thrown into the dustbin of history, they have all become the target audience of folding screen phones.
Folding screens will never become mainstream. They are more likely to become a high-end flagship alongside the image flagship. Its final stable market share may be around 10%. The turning point may be after Apple follows up, when the wind may change from "flashy" to "mobile phone industrial revolution".
The biggest experience problem of folding screen phones is heavy. Don't underestimate the weight difference of 20g and 30g. When you start, it is a world of difference. Your sore little finger will remind you constantly.
The second is maintenance. The folding screen is afraid of dust, water and falling. It is too dangerous not to wear a shell, and it is too heavy to wear a shell. You need to be big enough to use it comfortably, but it's a bit expensive.
Cold and hot knowledge: "Large horizontal folding screen" The display area of normal videos will not be much larger than that of ordinary mobile phones , because the long side of the inner screen is the long side of the outer screen (except Find N/N2)... When the inner screen is opened, it is close to the square, and the old video with 4:3 frame is most suitable for watching, such as Cat and Mouse, which is known as the program of folding screen preservation.
New machines are gradually popularized Fold Hover Ability is the best, but it is not just needed
Many new energy vehicles have Wireless charging But the Xiaomi/vivo/OPPO/Huawei/Glory 50W wireless charger is a private protocol, which is generally 15W, or even only 5-10W
In the folding screen, Wireless charging Only vivo X Fold/Fold+, OPPO Find N first generation, Samsung Z Fold4/Z Flip3/Z Flip4 are supported
Now only Samsung's folding screen has IPX8 waterproof ability
Outfold Designed by Huawei Mate Xs 2
In the list, the models are mainly Snapdragon 8+ . Glory Magic V and vivo X Fold are Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The original Find N, Huawei Mate Xs 2 and P50 Pocket are Snapdragon 888.
camera Huawei Mate X2 vivo X Fold/Fold+、 Glory Magic Vs.
Crease control OPPO is the best, followed by Vivo, Huawei/Glory and Xiaomi, while Samsung's creases have always been controlled freely. However, creases have little impact on daily use.
Horizontal fold/large fold
In addition to Huawei Mate Xs 2 with external folding screen+Snapdragon 888, Find N with high price of Snapdragon 888, Vivo X Fold and Magic V with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, In fact, it is difficult to list the absolute advantages and disadvantages of the other several sets. Different people may have completely different views. Here we list them according to the situation of this handsome boy (Owner of Shenzhen Bay No.1, half a photographer):
1. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4/W23 The descendant of the ancestor of Awesome has wireless charging and IPX8 waterproof. The "tablet" optimization of Samsung system is good. As long as you are familiar with the Samsung instruction dictionary, the playability is high.
Issued on August 10, 2012. Snapdragon 8+, 4400mAh battery+25W wired charge+15W wireless charge. Fold 155.1x67.1x15.8mm, unfold 155.1x130.1x6.3mm, 263g.

2. OPPO Find N2。 Greenplant is the only manufacturer that makes "small screen and large folding", and it is targeted by the small screen party because of its 5.54 inch outer screen. It focuses on portable+productivity. The display area of normal video on the inner screen is smaller than that of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. If you want to watch video and other entertainment needs, you'd better consider other models. This high ranking is mainly due to the price. N2 is the cheapest one among the horizontal folding screens with acceptable experience.

4. Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 The core of the company is to sell thin and light, and use the Samsung Z Fold4 peer internal screen. Stability depends on luck. MIUI's large screen adaptation and system scheduling are a bit slow.

This is Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and the price must be carefully considered when discounted)
Vertical Fold/Small Fold
The folding screen is mainly bought by female users, mainly focusing on the width and weight of the fuselage. I only recommend the first two:
1. OPPO Find N2 Flip . The rare double card in the small fold, the "giant" practical outer screen, in addition to not waterproof, wireless charger and the body is a bit wide, others are still walking slowly. It is now the most recommended vertical small folding screen.
