The IFA smartphone new trend: more emphasis on design than screen size

September 3 News, at the IFA this week, the major mobile phone manufacturers will be released each new generation of high-end smart phones. But from the known information, these phones will no longer pursue larger screen sizes, but more emphasis on product design.

Samsung GALAXY Note 4 is one of the most anticipated smartphones, and the device is expected to be officially released this evening.

In the past few years, the screen size of the Galaxy Note series has increased from 5.3 inches to 5.7 inches. Now, Samsung's 3-year expansion of screen behavior will stop on Note 4. But the screen resolution of the phone will be elevated to 2560x1440.

Samsung is not the only one to adopt this strategy. Sony's upcoming Xperia Z3 is expected to follow Z2 's 5.2-inch display, while 1080p resolution will not change.

"I think the smartphone screen has stabilized at 5.7 inches or less." Manufacturers such as Sony have realised that the 6.4-inch Xperia Z Ultra is too big for consumers. Said Ben Wood, director of CCS Insight Research.

While screen size growth has slowed, consumer acceptance of big-screen handsets is growing.

"If the rumors about the big screen iphone are true, it will further prove consumers ' love for big screen devices." When the 5.3-inch first-generation Galaxy Note was released, a lot of people thought it was ridiculously big. Wood continued.

Last week, Apple finally confirmed the September 9 launch date. The company is rumoured to be launching a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iphone 6 at the press conference.

Although the new high-end mobile phones will be the IFA to get the most attention, but those low-end but focus on the design of the equipment will also become the highlight of this exhibition.

LG this time will bring its own just released the L Bello and Lfino two mobile phones.

Like the flagship LG G3, these two phones are also placed on the back cover, where the bello plastic back cover texture and G3 very similar, although the material is not the same. At least from the picture, two devices look more exquisite than the previous models.

HTC has also applied one M8 design style to other low-end handsets, such as Desire 510, released last week. The phone also supports the dot view protector, but the function is more limited than one M8.

As for Motorola, Wood said it was their Moto G and Moto E that led the trend.

"It's a clear trend, and it's also a reflection of how much more demanding consumers know they can get a relatively inexpensive Android phone without sacrificing too much experience." "he said. (Eskimo)

The iphone has become a big screen, and the Android flagship should be looking for other breakthroughs, says Xiao Zhi-ming.
