Motorola As a well-known old mobile phone manufacturer, the market attention has become increasingly low in recent years. But in fact, Motorola has also launched many good products in the past two years, such as last year's Moto Edge S, which had a very high cost-effectiveness at the time. There is also the Moto X30 Pro released this year, which is a seriously underrated flagship equipped with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, equipped with a 200-pixel rear main camera + 60-megapixel front camera, and supports 125W wired and 50W wireless dual fast charging. It is a very balanced bucket machine.
In terms of appearance, Motorola X30 Pro adopts a hyperbolic screen design, and the overall appearance is pretty good. The current price of this phone starts from 3,499 yuan. It can be said that it is the most capable model at this price.
Recently, Motorola brought another special model at the Lenovo Tech World 2022 conference. There are two reasons why it is special. One is that it is a concept machine, which means it will not be mass-produced and sold, and is mainly used to show off skills. When it comes to concept machines, I feel that I have rarely seen them in the past two years!
The second is that it adopts a unique design. Motorola brought a concept phone for scroll screen this time, but unlike the same type of concept phones that manufacturers such as Samsung , LG, OPPO, TCL, etc., it adopts longitudinal telescopic rather than horizontal telescopic.
As for why horizontal telescopicity is needed, Motorola said that what they want to do is a smartphone that can switch screen sizes according to the situation, rather than developing a hybrid smartphone-tablet product.
Through this sentence, we can see that Motorola's persistence in mobile phone design concepts has never wavered. Three years ago, when the New Blade was released, it was controversial because it adopted a different longitudinal folding solution than the mainstream folding screen phones at that time. At that time, Yang Yuanqing's answer was: We sent a mobile phone, not a tablet.
Motorola reel screen concept mobile phones have a screen size of 5 inches in normal state, which is more compact than iPhone 13 mini. And in the expanded state, the screen size will be expanded to 6.5 inches, almost as big as the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
From the demonstration video, Motorola's reel screen concept machine is very small in normal state and is stress-free when holding with one hand. After being expanded, the longitudinal length of the body will be stretched and the width remains unchanged, which feels like a "fishing screen". There is no detailed data yet. It is speculated that the expanded screen ratio should be 21:9. Because it is a concept machine, mainly used to show off screen technology, it will be a bit castrated in other configurations and functions. For example, there is no front lens, but this makes its screen very complete, and it looks more beautiful.
Do you think the reel screen mobile phone will be mass-produced in the future?
