In the field of science and technology, whoever can grab the first place will get more eyeballs, has the voice over, and even more money…

Now that the entire smartphone industry has entered the cold winter, it is time to start a new era. From the current trend, folding screen mobile phones are the next era.

From the quarrel between Xiaomi and Rouyu Technology in January this year to Samsung’s "rush" to Huawei in February, folding screens have become a battleground for mobile phone manufacturers.

However, who can actually fold depends on the product.

Today (February 21), Samsung’s folding screen phone Galaxy Fold was unveiled, summing it up: stunning design, expensive to cry.

At 3 am Beijing time on February 21, Samsung held a new product launch event in San Francisco, USA, and officially released the Galaxy S10 series and the much-anticipated folding screen phone – Galaxy Fold. This is Samsung’s first folding screen phone.

The Galaxy Fold has a 7.3-inch folding screen and a 4.6-inch secondary screen, which is folded inside. When the phone is folded, the 4.6-inch (resolution 840×1960 pixels) secondary screen can realize all the operations of the current ordinary smartphone, and the overall operation logic is no different from that of the ordinary phone.

When the screen is turned on, the Galaxy Fold turns into a full-screen tablet, expanding the entire display area to 7.3 inches, and the main display has a resolution of 1536×2152 pixels. When the phone unfolds, apps that were previously running on the small screen will seamlessly switch to their current location, automatically adapting to the larger screen – if you’re looking at a map, then when you unfold the phone, the map will also expand and show more detailed information; if you’re taking a photo, then when you unfold the phone, it will automatically enter a wider editing mode.

The Galaxy Fold can display up to three apps on a single screen, with seamless switching between them.

This is due to the powerful performance of the Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy Fold is equipped with a 7nm SoC, with built-in 12GB RAM + 512GB ROM (UFS 3.0), and a 4380mAh battery.

Unlike the Galaxy S10 series, the Galaxy Fold does not use the latest ultrasonic screen fingerprint technology, but instead uses a side fingerprint to unlock it.

In terms of imaging, the Galaxy Fold machine contains a total of six lenses. Among them, the three rear lenses are 16MP ultra-wide-angle, 12MP standard wide-angle and 12MP telephoto, the front camera on the small screen is 10MP specification, and the front dual-camera specifications in the open state are 10MP ultra-wide-angle and 8MP depth-of-field cameras.

Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is how the phone screen folds. Samsung uses a sophisticated hinge system to reinforce it, hiding multiple interlocking gears in the phone case.

The key point is that the Galaxy Fold starts at $1980 (about 13,377 yuan) and has four color schemes. It will launch an LTE version and a 5G version respectively. It is expected to go on sale on April 26.

After the Note 7 explosion, Samsung’s share of the Chinese market plummeted, from 20% at its peak to 1% today.

Can Samsung rely on folding phones to make a comeback in China?

Some people are not optimistic about this. Today, a CNBC article analyzed that Samsung may be repeating the mistakes of Apple’s mobile phones.

1. The price is too high

In addition to the Galaxy Fold, which starts at $1,980, today Samsung also announced the entry-level Galaxy S10e, which starts at $749; the Galaxy S10, which starts at $899; and the Galaxy S10 +, which starts at $999. Those prices will rise as storage space increases.

Todd Haselton, technology product editor at CNBC, believes that with the longer lifespan of mobile phones, consumers don’t have to replace them as urgently as they used to.

2. Lack of "rigid demand" function

People used to queue up for new phones because they had better cameras, sharper screens and faster data transfer speeds – all must-have features. But that innovation has slowed.

Although Samsung has introduced a more colorful display, a fingerprint reader hidden under the screen, and an interesting feature that allows wireless earphones to be charged on the back of the phone, why would users want to spend another $850 or $999 to upgrade the Galaxy S8, which already has a good display and facial recognition? They are not attractive enough to make consumers spend so much money.

3. Failed miserably in the Chinese market

Apple’s phone shipments in China have plummeted nearly 20% due to pricing issues, but Apple is still on the Chinese market map anyway. But what about Samsung?

Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and other local brands have taken advantage of Apple and Samsung’s mistakes in the market to rise rapidly through affordable mobile phones. It is expected that new products will also be difficult to reverse Samsung’s decline in the Chinese market.

After the Spring Festival, the folding screen + 5G concept ignited the class A share market. Today, 5G concept, Huawei concept, Xiaomi concept, flexible screen concept and other sectors led the rise.

When it came to folding screens last year, it seemed like it was just a gimmick, but this year, after the debate between Xiaomi and Royole Technology "who is the first", and the exposure of Samsung’s patent related to Huawei and Apple’s folding screen, people found that folding screen mobile phones have become a reality.

On October 30 last year, Rouyu Technology released a folding screen hand, the core selling point is "the world’s first foldable flexible screen mobile phone".

On January 23, Lin Bin, co-founder and president of Xiaomi, announced on Weibo that the engineering machine of Xiaomi’s folding screen mobile phone has been launched, accompanied by a demonstration video. In the 200-word introduction, Lin Bin mentioned that Xiaomi "has overcome a series of technical problems such as flexible folding screen technology, four-wheel drive folding shaft technology… After a series of technical problems, we have made the first folding screen mobile phone, which should also be the world’s first dual folding mobile phone".

As a result, Xiaomi became a target for Fan Junchao, vice-president of Royole Technology.

In Moments’ more than 900-word response, Fan Junchao pointed out that Xiaomi’s dual-folding screen mobile phone only used concept flexible screens and engineering prototypes that could not be mass-produced, and claimed that he had conquered flexible display technology, and there was suspicion of plagiarism. In addition to Samsung and LG, other manufacturers around the world are still 108,000 miles away from the launch of the whole machine. The words are quite fierce.

Yesterday (February 20), at the Xiaomi press conference, Lei Jun responded to the matter: "That folding screen is indeed not made by our Xiaomi, but if we turn the folding screen into a product, the workload here is unprecedented. The dual folding screen is definitely the first of Xiaomi."

The battle for folding screen mobile phones is not just a technical issue, but a dark battle over time and order.

Because just one day after Xiaomi’s official exposure (January 24), Huawei Consumer CEO Yu Chengdong said that Huawei will launch a 5G folding screen smartphone at the 2019 Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain from February 25 to 28. Xiaomi’s early exposure beat Huawei by a day.

According to data, Huawei’s previous schedule for the launch of 5G smartphones was June 2019, but now it has been advanced to February.

As a result, Samsung was earlier than Huawei. On January 9, Samsung executives confirmed to the media that Samsung would release a folding display phone in the first half of 2019. Shortly thereafter, the Wall Street Journal received news that on February 20, four days before Huawei’s 5G folding phone was released, Samsung would showcase a foldable screen phone at a new product launch event.

As early as the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Note9 in August 2018, Koh Dong-jin, president of Samsung’s mobile division, said that "it will not let the outside world [wait for the folding screen phone] for too long", because Samsung does not want to lose the title of the world’s first foldable screen phone to others.

Nowadays, Samsung has set the tone for the appearance, performance and price of the folding screen mobile phone. After the release of Huawei and Xiaomi’s mobile phones, the war will really start when consumers choose.

The daily economic news is comprehensive from the APP (reporter: Liu Chunshan), Wall Street news, Chinese entrepreneur magazine, CNBC, etc

　　"Our experiences go beyond traditionExecutive car benchmark – Maybach! "On August 6, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, chairperson of end point BG, and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, shouted.

　　On August 6, Huawei released the new model Hongmeng Zhixing Xiangjie S9 at the Beijing National Stadium. The car was built in cooperation with BAIC Group and is the first smart model of BAIC Group. There are two versions of the new car, priced at 399,800 – 449,800 yuan, which is 50,000 yuan lower than the pre-sale price.

　　Positioning the C + class pure electric car, the Enjoy S9 is known for its space, comfort and intelligent configuration. The first Huawei ADS3.0 high-end intelligent driving system and the first zero-gravity seat applied to the car are all core selling points.

　　Yu Chengdong said that the Xiangjie S9 is the first flagship sedan of Hongmeng Zhixing, and together with the Wenjie M9, it forms the "Double 9 Flagship". The new car will be partially delivered as early as August 7. "The Xiangjie S9 will reshape the experience in an all-round way. The new car will be listed as soon as it is released, and it will be sold as soon as it is listed."

　　Before the launch of the Enjoy S9, Huawei andWith an average price of nearly 500,000 yuan, Wenjie M9 has delivered more than 15,000 units for four consecutive months, ranking first in the sales list of large SUVs. Can Xiangjie S9 replicate the hot sales of Wenjie M9? With the listing of Xiangjie S9, the market may be able to get a glimpse of one or two.

　　A big gamble between Huawei and BAIC

　　Xiangjie S9 is the first C + class executive sedan under Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing Alliance. It has a length, width and height of 5160mm, 1987mm and 1486mm, and a wheelbase of 3050mm. Yu Chengdong said that thanks to the advantages brought by the interior design, the interior space performance of Xiangjie S9 is significantly better than that of the traditional luxury brand D-class sedan.

　　The Enjoy S9 currently has two versions. The two-wheel drive version of the Enjoy S9 Max has a battery life of 816 kilometers and a zero-hundred acceleration of 5.98 seconds; the four-wheel drive version of the Enjoy S9 Ultra has a battery life of 721 kilometers and a zero-hundred acceleration of 3.9 seconds. Both models are equipped withThe ternarySupport for 800VTechnology, combined with the 800V platform, can increase battery life by 200 kilometers in 5 minutes of charging.

　　"[This is] the best that the 8th generation production line has produced, the defect rate has reached the level of one billion. "Chairperson and CEO Zeng Yuqun said at the press conference.

　　As the first luxury flagship sedan of Hongmeng Zhixing, the Enjoy S9 can be equipped with optional rear zero-gravity seats, car-level projection giant screen, and comes standard with HUAWEI ADS 3.0 high-end intelligent driving system, D-class car exclusive Tuling platform, adjustable air suspension, etc. It is officially claimed that it can provide a more comfortable, stable and safe driving experience.

　　The level of assisted driving of the Enjoy S9 has attracted particular attention. As the first model of the HUAWEI ADS 3.0 high-end intelligent driving system, the Enjoy S9 comes standard with 192 lines, and took the lead in applying the new end-to-end architecture. Yu Chengdong said that "it can realize autonomous driving from parking space to parking space, and it can be driven nationwide."

　　In the previous live broadcast, Yu Chengdong said that the Xiangjie S9 will compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8L. At the launch site of the new car, he shouted "Beyond Maybach". Maybe traditional luxury brands such as BBA are no longer competitors.

　　Xiangjie S9 is not only an important product of Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing, but also BAIC Group and BAICThe masterpiece.

　　According to the information provided by BAIC Group, BAIC has tailored the world’s leading intelligent manufacturing factory for the Xiangjie brand, and the overall comprehensive automation rate has reached the industry advanced level. The factory not only has the world’s leading ADS intelligent driving calibration system, but also introduced the "OurHours quality monitoring and sensing system", so that the whole process can be monitored and traced.

　　Xiangjie S9 was born in BAIC GroupPlatform. The platform is a pure electric high-end flagship platform independently developed by BAIC Group, which deeply integrates the homologous design of the Mercedes-Benz MRA luxury rear drive platform in engineering design, module development and other parts and the new framework of Darwin 2.0 technology system.

　　Xiangjie S9 is also the first blockbuster product launched in cooperation with Huawei after the adjustment of BAIC Group and the top leader of BAIC this year.

　　At the end of March this year, Zhang Jianyong, then deputy director of Beijing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and former deputy general manager of BAIC Group, returned to BAIC Group as the group’s party secretary and chairperson. Then in July, Zhang Guofu, former deputy party secretary and executive deputy general manager of BAIC Group, was promoted to the party secretary and general manager of BAIC New Energy.

　　Zhang Guofu once revealed to the Times Weekly reporter that Zhang Jianyong attaches great importance to the development of independent new energy brands. "After returning to BAIC Group, Zhang Jianyong’s first stop came to his independent new energy brand –(That is, the parent company of BAIC New Energy). "

　　"Working with Huawei this time, we have gathered all the advantageous resources of the whole industry chain, such as BAIC’s R & D and production of complete vehicles, parts, service trade, etc., all in Xiangjie S9," Zhang Jianyong said at the launch of Xiangjie S9 on August 6.

　　Can it create a double 9 miracle?

　　Xiangjie S9 can be said to be a masterpiece, and it is also a core member of Hongmeng Zhixing’s "Double 9 Flagship". I have asked the M9 "Zhuyu is in the front", what is the future of Xiangjie S9?

　　On December 26, 2023, Huawei and jointly released the Q & J M9. The car is positioned as a large new energy SUV, with a total of two versions of pure electric and extended-range hybrid models, priced 469,800-569,800 yuan. Since its listing, Q & J M9 has gained market recognition through excellent spatial performance and intelligent functional experience, and sales have continued to rise.

　　Yu Chengdong said that the number of Dading (orders designated to pay the deposit) of the M9 has reached 120,000 in the seven months since its listing. Previously, the M9 has delivered more than 15,000 units for four consecutive months, ranking first in the sales list of large SUVs.

Ask the world M9 picture source:

　　Specifically, the Wenjie M9 is equipped with a zero-gravity seat, a laser projection system, Huawei ADS 2.0 high-end intelligent driving system, Huawei Tuling chassis, and dualAt the same time, its body space design and safety performance are also very outstanding.

　　Numerous high-end configurations and intelligent functions have significantly improved the travel experience of drivers and passengers. Recently, the Times Weekly reporter found in the test drive experience that the driving experience of the Qinjie M9 is very outstanding, with fast vehicle power response, comfortable chassis adjustment, smooth braking and smooth turning. Even on rainy high-speed sections, the Qinjie M9 can provide a very stable driving experience.

　　At the same time, the abundant interior space and leather-wrapped zero-gravity seats, together with the intelligent and smooth in-car interaction system, can provide passengers with a comfortable and intelligent ride experience. Even in the back row, you can enjoy spacious space and flexible control of various entertainment functions in the car.

　　To a certain extent, the Xiangjie S9 has space and intelligent functions comparable to the Wenjie M9, and its power performance and safety are also very eye-catching. According to Ji Xuehong, director and professor of the Automotive Industry Innovation Research Center of North China University of Technology, the Xiangjie S9 has a certain market space and is expected to promote the car sales of BAIC New Energy.

　　On the other hand, the Enjoy S9 currently only has pure electric models, and whether it can capture the hearts of high-end model consumers with pure electric models alone remains to be seen. However, the application of 800V technology is conducive to improving the energy replenishment efficiency of the Q Jie S9.

　　In order to make the name of Enjoy S9, in addition to Zeng Yuqun and Zhang Jianyong, two big names in the industry, Huawei also invited Huang Xiaoming and Gao Ye, two well-known actors, to help out on the spot.

　　In addition to enjoy the S9, Yu Chengdong also revealed to the outside world the new version of the M7, namely the M7 PRO. Compared with the M7 ULTRA, the car is expected to be released at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 26. The pre-sale price is 249,800 yuan.

　　The first smart car brand that cooperates with Huawei also made a public appearance at this press conference, named "Zunjie". "Jianghuai Smart Car is positioned as an ultra-high-end car, Xiangjie is positioned as a high-end car, and Zhijie is positioned as a wide range of mid-range and mid-to-high-end cars, which is a car that can be affordable to a wide range of people. The main focus of Qinjie is on SUVs." Yu Chengdong explained the positioning of the four brands.

　　On the one hand, the popularity of the original models, on the other hand, the addition of new models. With the continuous expansion of the product matrix, the outside world is looking forward to more moves by Huawei in the automotive field.
