The story starts with a story circulating online recently:
said that there is a girl who studies materials and has a successful academic performance. Her graduation thesis is about studying high-strength glass.
graduated from school. She went to find a job, but after finding several domestic mobile phone companies, she was rejected. The reason was: We have Corning glass , why do we have to work hard to do it ourselves?
Later, she went to Huawei . Huawei recruiters attached great importance to her and invited colleagues who also studied materials within Huawei to discuss her papers together. In the end, she was able to successfully join Huawei.
Although this story is difficult to tell whether it is true or false, it has to be admitted that Huawei is the only domestic mobile phone manufacturer that masters high-strength glass technology.
With the launch of the Huawei mate50 series, more than half of consumers booked to buy the Kunlun Glass version.
I guess Huawei did not expect that its own Kunlun glass could drive such a high sales, because some netizens revealed that Kunlun glass version only accounts for 2-3% of the store's stockings, and consumers' pursuit caught them off guard.
According to a set of data in 2021, the current global cover glass market, Corning in the United States accounts for 60% of the market share, followed by Japan's AGC accounts for 15% and Germany's Schott accounts for 10%, leaving only less than 10% of the market space for domestic companies.
Corning's early development was thanks to the cooperation with Apple . That year, Corning specially developed Corning Gorilla Glass for iPhone1. It is said that Jobs specifically sent a message to Corning CEO for this: "With you, we can't do this."
From then on, Corning reached in-depth cooperative relationships with Apple, witnessing and achieving each other's commercial status.
. When the domestic market has a real scale, it will be in 2014, which is seven years later than the iPhone 1 that year.
There is no doubt that this is another sub-field where domestic companies have obvious shortcomings, which is why Huawei Kunlun Glass has attracted much attention.
Many people hope to break the situation where domestic cover glass is heavily reliant on imports through Huawei Kunlun Glass.
According to the information published online, Huawei has mastered the preparation method of Huawei Kunlun Glass, registered a patent, and then produced it by a third-party factory. From the perspective of technological development, Huawei Kunlun Glass should be in the same line as Huawei's nano- microcrystalline glass before.
A piece of Huawei Kunlun glass has to go through 108 processing processes, plus a capacity of 1600 degrees. A specific metal will be added during the smelting process to strengthen the hardness of the glass. During the actual measurement, it can withstand the pressure of 320N. Some people even used the newly released Kunlun glass version of Huawei mate50 Pro to smash walnuts.
At this point, Huawei has made its own efforts to cut open the gap in Corning's dominance of smartphone panels, giving the market a new choice.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that Huawei will sell Huawei Kunlun glass to the outside world in the future, and other mobile phone brands also have the hope of using Huawei Kunlun.
However, it is too pediatric to use Kunlun glass on mobile phones. Considering the popularity of smart cars in the future, there will be more screen usage, and Kunlun glass will also have good development prospects in the automobile market.
