The case of the folding screen phone looks like this

2019 will be a booming year of 5G and a folding screen phone in the smartphone world. At the last MWC 2019 Global Mobile Exhibition in Barcelona, ​​we have witnessed a number of cool foldable phone models like Samsung Galaxy Fold or Huawei Mate X. The common point of these devices is beautiful, sleek, luxurious. overriding and above all, the price is up to more than $ 2,000, making them expensive products of 'technology jewelry'. This leads to a problem that is how to preserve such expensive items to avoid unnecessary incidents? With this question, many of us will immediately think about using the case. So what will the case of the folding screen phones look like? How is it different from a regular phone?

1. What about playing games on a smartphone screen folding Huawe Mate X?

Spigen was one of the first companies to launch a bumper design for a folding screen phone. Specifically, this is the product line that the company plans to release for Samsung Galaxy Fold, called Tough Armor, Ultra Hybrid and Thin Fit. All the models that Spigen released this time share the same design language, with the front cover protecting the top and bottom edges of the 4.6-inch external screen (when the phone is in a folded state) and multiple cutting lines and burrs to protect the three sensor camera systems on the back.

However, the protection level of these models will not be the same, the thinnest type (the worst impact resistance) made of thin silicon, and the thickest type (the best impact resistance) made of plastic Premium special. In general, all these cases will cost about $ 20, and most are made of familiar materials like plastic and silicone (PC, TPU and PU).

Though at first glance, these dorsal panels don't look very special except for the 'oversized' size, but the important addition here is the hinge position, which many sub-manufacturers Phone lawsuits have to take into account as soon as the folding screen phones fixed the official launch date.

Besides, it seems that every smartphone manufacturer has designed the hinge system on its folding screen phone in different ways. For example, the case of Huawei Mate X uses 360-degree hinges, can be folded out, Motorola seems to be working with the traditional folding hinges, while Samsung has used the folding mechanism like a book (with many interlocking gears), and it is the diversity in this hinge design that has caused many difficulties for companies producing phone accessories.

We still do not know exactly how the bumper manufacturers design their products around the various mechanisms of hinges, but those who are not sympathetic to the use The bumper has immediately assumed that Spigen's products seem to be able to wrap around the outside of the phone but nothing special!

In addition, besides the hinges, the mechanism to protect the folding screen is unclear, when it is certain that conventional tempered glass will not be usable in this case, and Samsung and Huawei also It is not clear whether their two folding phone models are included with genuine screen protector.

In a related move, Samsung has confirmed that through testing, the Galaxy Fold screen has excellent scratch and impact resistance, along with extremely high durability, up to more than 200,000 times of opening and closing, according to estimates. is 5 years of use. However, for fastidious users, not using a screen protector or back cover will still make them feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

Zagg, another well-known phone accessory company, has also said that it is starting to develop dumbbells for folding screen phones, but this project is experiencing some problems due to a lack of Rare of the sample. Facing the challenges of creating a completely new foldable back cover and opening up the phone mechanism, Zagg's representative said that the company is waiting to receive sample phones before gives an opinion on the potential problems that a case for the phone screen folds face in actual use.

Meanwhile, Spigen made a different approach. The company said it usually works first with models when making phone cases, and since Samsung has provided detailed Galaxy Fold measurements, they can put together several models to get started. Fabrication of molds for tiles.

Of course the work started before the phone was officially launched. A developer at Spigen said the company has created about 20 different prototypes to prepare for many options and possibilities: 'We have to collect all the rumors and find out more. The better the source is to analyze the new structure of the phone, in case of any possible situation '.

Besides, the manufacturer said they also had to consider what kind of materials would give the best performance in actual use. For example, hinges of Tough Armor, created from a special coupling structure, are for bending purposes. Spigen said they are still developing and testing the case, and if everything goes according to plan, users will experience these backs around the time Galaxy Fold is officially on the shelf. is in the upcoming April.
