ZTE Axon M with two displays, a new trend in smartphones?
Axon M experimented with new design by introducing two displays that flip open to give bigger screen
(Web Desk) – Chinese smartphone manufacturer ZTE has experimented for the first time by introducing two displays in a single phone which flip open and can be combined to make the screen larger. These screens not only make the display bigger but also provide a next generation interactive interface.
The design is unique and has caught the eyes of buyers and smartphone makers alike. Tech geeks opined that the two displays design could either be the new trend or next flop for the industry.
Smartphone giants including Samsung and iPhone are both currently focusing on folding technology for display screens OLED. While Samsung is due to launch its first folding screen phone next year, Apple has hinted at plans to start working with LG Display to start manufacturing foldable models after 2020. Lenovo had showcased its foldable phone as well.
Coming back to Axon M, the M stands for multi-tasking. The featured phone is equipped with two foldable screens that can be joined to make a tablet-like device. The two 5.2-inch screens can be combined by flipping open into 6.8 inches of a single screen. Competing with the likes of Google Pixel 2, iPhone X, Galaxy Note 8 and other flagships models, ZTE launched Axon M with 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage and 4K display.
Although ZTE hasn’t revealed the price of its featured phone which will launch on November 17, it is expected to be cheaper than both iPhone X and Note 8. Some of the cons include dual screen modes, single camera for all kinds of pictures (including selfies) and smooth folding function. The cons include heavy and thick mode, no waterproofing, less optimization of apps with the foldable screen, not bezel-free and a few design flaws.
