Huawei、Samsung、vivo folding screen mobile phone use comparison evaluation

along with vivo X Fold 's release,The mainstream Android mobile phone manufacturers on the market are all showing their own folding screen products。It is undeniable,Folding screen products have been rolled out in the past year,It has gradually transitioned from the toys of the rich to the consumer goods of ordinary people。So for ordinary consumers,The mainstream folding screen mobile phones currently available on the market ,How should we choose? Let's take a look at Huawei、Samsung、vivo folding screen mobile phone use comparison evaluation ,Selected vivo X Fold respectively、HUAWEI Mate X2、Galaxy Z Fold3 。

First of all, we do not recommend that ordinary consumers choose vertical folding folding screen products,Because such products tend to sacrifice performance experience,It looks more like a product that folds for the sake of folding (if you're a fashion-conscious female user,Then if I didn't say it)。So we chose three horizontal folding products at different price points,They are from Huawei HUAWEI Mate X2 (From 17499CNY)、Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (from 14999CNY) from Samsung and vivo X Fold (from 8999CNY) just released by vivo。

We will use the objective data and subjective experience of these three products,Give you some help in choosing a folding screen。(no selection just posted HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 It's because the outer fold is not in our comparison range) so don't talk nonsense,Go straight to our topic。

Not friendly at first,But who can say no to a piece of glass that folds in half?

From the price of the three products,Folding screens are indeed developing in the direction of popularization,The folding screen products released from the end of the year to now are basically available at 4-digit prices.,It has also allowed many friends who are interested in folding screens to taste the new。

same,With more than a year of development,On the screen crease that everyone is most concerned about,It can be seen that Huawei and vivo still have advantages.,Almost invisible crease;And Samsung can still clearly see the traces of the creases in the center of the screen。

Crease Contrast

But according to several folding screen users I know,Their answers to the crease question were basically the same:Watch before buying,don't care in use。compared to crease,Instead, they are more concerned about the size of the whole machine and how it feels in the hand.。According to the official website data,The weights of the three folding screens from small to large are Samsung (271g)、Huawei (295g)、alive (311g)。

However, the screen size of the corresponding three folding screens is inversely proportional to the body weight.,Among them, vivo is the largest,The external screen is 6.53 inches,It's basically the same as a normal mobile phone,After opening, the internal screen size can reach 8.03 inches,Comparable to the size of the latest iPad mini;Huawei is basically the same as vivo:External screen 6.4 5 inches,Inner screen 8 inches;And Samsung's screen size is the smallest,External screen 6.2 inches,Inner screen 7.6 inches。

Just looking at the data is fine,But in fact Samsung's external screen is a 24.5:9screen,So it is basically the same as the remote control.。It is said that the reason for adopting such a design,It is for the user to be more convenient to hold,But sacrifice the external screen for this,Indeed, the experience is much worse than the other two。

Now that we talk about the screen,We have to talk about the screen refresh rate of these three folding screens。Nowadays, high refresh screen has basically become the standard of smart phones.,These three phones also do well,There is no tearing in the conversion of internal and external screens。Both Samsung and vivo screens use a 120Hz refresh rate,Huawei has a 90Hz refresh rate for internal and external screens,Although not able to use the 120Hz refresh rate,But as a product that has been on sale for more than a year,also understandable。

The following is the thickness comparison of the three mobile phones,We won't talk about data here.,Chat directly through the picture to talk about the intuitive feeling。It can be seen that the three products have little difference in thickness,Huawei should be the thinnest whether it is folded or unfolded,samsung next,vivo last。

Finally, let’s talk about the feel experience of the three folding screens,I have basically used these three products as the main Android phone for a period of time,If you only talk about personal experience,I prefer vivo X Fold:

I also complained about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G,The screen looks like a remote control,So that I don't want to take it out and use it outside.;

And HUAWEI Mate X2 is a little thin,Also a little light in weight,It's the kind of feeling that it doesn't feel too much when you pick it up。At the same time, I personally find it difficult to open the folded HUAWEI Mate X2 with one hand,So it's a bit laborious to operate;

Although vivo X Fold is the heaviest of the three folding screens,But combined with the large 8.03-inch screen,Gives a solid feel,Folding and closing can also be easily done with one hand。

Then let's talk about the hovering experience of the three folding screens,Among them, only HUAWEI Mate X2 does not support free hovering,Relatively lacks a lot of hovering gameplay,such as hovering to take a photo、Hover to play video and more。

Finally, let’s talk about the split-screen experience of the three folding screens:

HUAWEI Mate X2
Galaxy Z Fold3
vivo X Fold

The three folding screens did not waste their own large screen,It is worthy of affirmation in the split screen experience。Multi-purpose on one screen,Not only can improve productivity,It can also improve the happiness of fishing。

However, the three folding screens have a common disadvantage.,Because I have not used folding screen products before,Therefore, it is difficult to accept the weight of the folding screen at the beginning.,Several times when I used the external screen alone outside, I almost lost my hand。Therefore, the folding screen products are not particularly friendly at first.,But the thought of this is a piece of glass that can be folded,Who can refuse?

App adapts to folding screen,will be the trend

After talking about the initial experience,Let's talk about the key elements that affect the folding screen experience - the adaptation of the app。

We have selected 5 apps that we will use in our daily life for testing and comparison,See if using a folding screen can bring an experience beyond traditional smartphones。The first is the small and beautiful App - WeChat

after testing,All three apps support login as a tablet,This means that you can log in to WeChat on a traditional smartphone and a foldable phone at the same time,if you need,Can even add a PC,Realize three-terminal simultaneous login。

However, Huawei has a further adaptation to WeChat.,The split screen of dialog boxes and message lists can be presented in the form of hierarchical menus,It can also make better use of the space of the 8-inch large screen。But this should only be a problem of WeChat adaptation,Subsequent folding screen products should be popularized。

Below is the map application,This is also a big selling point in the promotion of many folding screen products,A larger screen allows you to see a map with a larger field of view。When we selected the Gaode map test, we found that,In addition to the larger map display area,There is no function optimized for folding screens.,It seems that there are no programmers who use folding screens inside Gaode。

The following item is the adaptation of shopping software,We choose the mobile phone Jingdong App for testing。As a result, only Samsung does not support secondary menu display,Both vivo and Huawei can view the product details page while browsing。It seems that foreign monks are not necessarily good at reciting sutras.。

The next item is the video App test link,We chose Bilibili as the test software。Three folding screens benefit from the blessing of the large screen,The video looks cool,This is also a point that traditional smartphones can't reach.。It is worth mentioning that,vivo X Fold also added the adaptation in the hover state in Bilibili,while watching a video,The phone can be hovered over the desktop,Watching on the top half screen,The bottom half of the screen turns into a touchpad,Play progress can be controlled by swiping/clicking、Volume、brightness。

vivo X Fold

The last item was tested at the strong request of a "leek" beside me,We chose the stock trading app - Futu Niuniu。testing,The large screens of the three folding screens are indeed very suitable for checking the trend of the stock market,In fact, vivo has also deeply optimized Futu Niuniu.,Can make better use of the big screen for stock trading operations。

always have to see,At present, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the optimization of folding screens in apps on the market.,Just like the application adaptation of Android tablets。With the entry of vivo X Fold,I believe that with the joint efforts of various folding screen manufacturers and application developers,Can bring a better folding screen application adaptation experience。

video experience,Without the support of camera manufacturers, it is indeed slightly inferior

As 5G streaming grows,The image experience of a mobile phone is also increasingly becoming a key factor for users to purchase。Although this is not the selling point of the folding screen,But we still want to give you some reference points for comparison.。

first lookMain camera performance:

From right to left are vivo X Fold、HUAWEI Mate X2、Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (same below)。On the performance of the main camera,The performance of the three folding screens is very good,Differences vary in imaging style,more subjective,We won't make an evaluation here.,Take care of yourself。

Telephoto performance:

vivo X Fold、HUAWEI Mate X2、Galaxy Z Fold3

in telephoto performance,Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has some oversharpening,But it does not image the overall look and feel。HUAWEI Mate X2 is a bit smeared,Overall, vivo X Fold is the best performer。

night scene performance:

vivo X Fold、HUAWEI Mate X2、Galaxy Z Fold3

in night scene,Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is still an algorithm problem,some color cast,White balance is also wrong;HUAWEI Mate X2 and vivo X Fold perform well,Under Huawei's algorithm, the night sky is closer to the real color,Vivo's color is more pleasing,more in line with the human eye。it seems,Huawei and vivo's joint research and development with camera manufacturers is not just a gimmick,Really brings better image performance。

From a comprehensive experience,The buying advice I give is to buy new and not buy old,The synchronization of vivo X Fold, both inside and outside the dual-screen experience,Or the strong performance of the Snapdragon 8 flagship processor,Or the full focal length imaging system supported by Zeiss,All of which are not available in the folding screen mobile phone market before.。

Although the HUAWEI Mate X2 performs very well,But based on the price of 17499CNY,The threshold is a bit high。Suitable for users who use Hongmeng Ecology and have strong financial resources;Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G as the big brother of the folding screen industry,The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is said to be released soon,Just wait and see。

As a user who has not been exposed to folding screen products for a long time before,After a period of experience,Compare these three products,I can still feel that in this short year,Folding screens are really making rapid progress。and in terms of price,Folding screen seems to be no longer just an "expensive toy",The four-digit pricing also makes more users willing to try the new mobile phone form of the folding screen。Simultaneously,Also, as more and more manufacturers begin to work on folding screen products,It also means that folding screen mobile phones are going to the public,become mainstream。
