mobile phone screens is moving towards a larger and larger direction. After the screen becomes larger and larger, it begins to pursue screen-to-body ratio. After the screen-to-body ratio is pursued, it pursues a larger screen-to-body ratio and visual effects. The waterfall screen was born in this situation.
In 2019, Huawei and vivo brought their own flagship new products - Huawei Mate30 Pro and vivo NEX 3. Both phones adopt a design scheme called "waterfall screen".
As the name suggests, the waterfall screen refers to the display area of the left and right of the mobile phone extending vertically downwards, shaped like a waterfall. The entire mobile phone has an extremely high screen-to-body ratio.
The waterfall screen at that time came out, with a unique recognition. I believe that when you use a curved or waterfall screen phone for the first time, you will definitely watch the feeling of the icon falling from the side. So it still attracted new users.
has some advantages that generally this kind of waterfall screen mobile phone will adopt a narrower design on the phone, that is, the "Beauty Waist" design version 2.0 of Green Factory many years ago, which will feel very thin to the touch. When using the side of the full screen, it is very comfortable, and it is indeed more comfortable than that of a straight-board screen.
However, the waterfall screen also has its disadvantages. Compared with traditional full-screen mobile phones, the waterfall screen mobile phone has undoubtedly got rid of the screen constraints and its shape design is more ostentatious. But it should be noted that there are still many minor problems with waterfall screen phones: such as mist touching when holding the screen, poor anti-fall performance, and difficulty in applying film.
And under large lighting environments, the edges of the screen will reflect, and the eyes will look green. If you play games in horizontal screen, it will be a little uncomfortable to operate.
So there are actually fewer waterfall screens nowadays, and more are micro-curved screens instead.
