Which is better, Fol Double smartphone, vertical fold or horizontal fold?I compared the advantages and the drawbacks
The other day, two models of Fol Double Smartphones, Galaxy Z Flip3 5g and Galaxy Z Fold3 5g, appeared from Samsung the other day.
The former is a vertical folding type, and the latter is a horizontal folding, but what is the difference?This time, we will introduce the characteristics of each of the vertical folding and horizontal folding.
Vertical folding smartphone with compact merit
The biggest advantage of the vertical fold type Fol Double smartphone is compact.While maintaining the same operation feeling as a general smartphone, it can be folded like a garage, so it can fit into the chest pocket, etc., so a person who is easy to carry, but does not want to sacrifice the screen size.I can recommend it.
On the other hand, a vertical fold type Fol Double smartphone is basically not expected to be used in a folded state.Therefore, it is necessary to open it to use it, and you may feel stressed when you are in a hurry where you can use only one hand.
For this reason, there are many cases where it has a display that can be used in a folded state, for example, Motolora Razr 5g 2..7 -inch quick view display, Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is 1.A 7 -inch cover display is installed outside.I think the ease of use of these sub displays is a very important point for vertical folding Fol Double Smartphones.
A horizontal folding smartphone where you can enjoy a large screen like a tablet
The biggest feature is that the horizontal fold -type Fol Double Smartphone is tablet by opening it, and you can enjoy content such as browsing, videos, e -books, and games on a larger screen.
Along with that, one of the points is that multitasking is improving with multiple screen splits.For example, by utilizing a large screen,
I think you can use it.In particular, the recently announced Galaxy Z Fold3 5G supports stylus, so you can take notes during multitasking.
Another advantage is that it can be used normally even when folded, unlike a vertical folding smartphone.If you do not bother to open it, you can use it with the same feeling as a general smartphone if you use an outer sub -display.
However, this is half a true and half lie.The latest Galaxy Z Fold3 5g weighs 271g, and is a heavy weight that is used as a tablet, but it is very heavy when used as a smartphone in a folded state.In addition, the thickness of the folded state is up to 16.Because it is 0mm and the thickness of two general smartphones, it depends on the person whether it can be used normally even in folded state.
It is a common advantage that the foldable mechanism can be enjoyed
What can be said to be in common with vertical folds is that you can enjoy the foldable mechanism.
In particular, the Galaxy series adopts a hard hinge that can be fixed with the angle, and is equipped with a flex mode that can use a smartphone in that state.If you use this function, you can fix the camera to your favorite direction without a tripod or enjoy the content without a stand.
Of course, you can use one display to divide it by fold.It is very attractive that there are many ways to use it because you can create three types of displays, including sub displays.
Fortunately, Google, which provides Android, is active in corresponding to Fol Double Devices.Therefore, we can expect to develop into a more easy UI and to respond to more apps.
Price and durability are the best issues
What can be said to be in common with both Fol Double Devices is that there are issues in price and durability.
In particular, there are many necessary parts, a horizontal fold -type Fol double smartphone that requires a sub -display of a practical level and a huge flexible main display tends to be very expensive, and it will be a device that will be widespread in compliments.I can't.Even with vertical folding Fol Double Smartphone, Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is doing well for $ 999 (about 110,000 yen), but it is still more expensive compared to smartphones with the same internal specifications.
In addition, the problem that the display is easily damaged by using a flexible display is inevitable.Galaxy Z Fold3 5G says that adding panel layers and protective film to support S PEN has improved 80%durability than before, but has not been fundamental solution.In addition, dedicated protective films are not generally distributed, so it is necessary to mail to the manufacturer or go to Galaxy Harajuku to replace them.
Not only protective films but also protective cases are small, and although they are expensive and durable, they often use it naked.
Based on these drawbacks, if you really want to make Fol Double mainstream, you need to provide products at low prices, but also to enhance the enhancement of conservatives such as film/case and guarantee the failure.I think there is.
Is the Foled double the mainstream with the appearance of folding iPhone?
It is said that Samsung will transfer the main axis to the Fol Double Device in the future.Recently, there are rumors of Fol Double iPhone and pixel.
Especially in the case of the iPhone, the film/case should be widespread considering the sales results, and there is also a wonderful guarantee system such as Genius Bar and AppleCare.(Although the possibility is low at the moment), if the folding iPhone appears, the future where the Fort Double device will be the mainstream may really come.
