Which is better, curved screen or flat screen? Which is more advanced? How should consumers choose?

Nowadays, all mobile phone manufacturers are moving towards the high-end market and have released their own high-end series of products, such as Xiaomi's Mix series and OPPO's Find series. From the perspective of these products, all of them use curved screens without exception. Looking at the entire mobile phone market, there are more and more mobile phones with curved screens, while there are fewer and fewer mobile phones with straight screens. Do curved screens really have more advantages than straight screens?

1. Beautiful appearance design, high appearance is king

When consumers choose a mobile phone, the first thing they see is the overall appearance of the phone. By comparing the appearance of straight-screen phones and curved-screen phones, it can be seen that compared with traditional straight-screen phones, the appearance design of the curved screen highlights the phone's sense of technology and transparency, thereby increasing the overall beauty of the phone, and also provides a very novel visual experience. It has a considerable visual impact on consumers and will affect consumers' choice of mobile phone types.

2. Wider viewing angle brings better three-dimensional sense

Due to its curved surface, the curved screen has a better three-dimensional sense than the traditional flat screen. Under the same screen size, the curved screen has a wider viewing angle than the flat screen, is visually better, and produces a subtle naked-eye 3D effect, bringing a more realistic experience.

3. The actual feel and grip are very outstanding

Since the two sides of the hyperbolic phone are curved, it will fit the palm of the user's hand better, bringing a more comfortable grip. In contrast, the straight screen phone has a flat screen, which will feel slightly cut in the hand. In terms of grip, the curved screen is more comfortable.

4. The image positioning of high-end mobile phones in the minds of consumers

When the world's first dual-curved mobile phone, Samsung S6 edge, was released, people were amazed at its dual-curved design. It subverted the perception of traditional mobile phones and opened a new era of curved mobile phones. It was considered to represent the development direction of smart high-end phone design.

After seeing this major selling point, many Android manufacturers immediately designed new use value and product value for their products from the aspects of product design, marketing and concept, thus forming a high-end product symbol. At that time, most mobile phones still had straight screens, and the price of mobile phones with curved screens was basically more than 5,000 yuan, and they used various methods to show the image of their high-end mobile phones.

Now, as the cost of curved screens has dropped, some mid-range phones have also adopted curved screens, which has become a major selling point and is well-liked by the public. This has also led to the increasing popularity of mobile phones with curved screens.

To sum up, the curved screen is better than the straight screen in appearance, feel and image. So compared with the curved screen, is the straight screen really going to exit the stage of history?

The answer is no, facing the screen also has its own unique advantages.

1. Easy to apply film and low maintenance cost

Have you applied a screen protector to your phone? Perhaps 99% of users have done so. Compared with curved phones, especially those with large curvatures, traditional straight-screen phones are easier to apply screen protectors to. Since the curved screen protrudes above the middle frame, the middle frame has very low protection for the curved screen itself, and there are almost no completely suitable tempered films to choose from for curved screens, which increases the risk of broken screens. If the screen is really broken, the official repair cost of the curved screen is basically more than 1,000 yuan. Even if it is repaired by a third party, the cost will be around 500 yuan, and the display effect after the repair is not ideal.

On the contrary, the price of repairing a traditional straight screen generally does not exceed 500 yuan, and because the phone can be covered with a tempered film, the risk of a broken screen is greatly reduced.

2. Prevent accidental screen touches, a favorite for gamers

Since the screen of a curved screen phone is higher than the frame, the palm of your hand will fit against the screen when you hold it in your hand, which may cause accidental touches. If you like to use virtual buttons, your finger may accidentally touch the power button and the screen will go black. There is no such worry for traditional flat screens, and the mobile gaming experience is not good due to the accidental touch problem of the curved surface. In order to solve the problem of accidental touches in games, some manufacturers have lowered the sensitivity of touch buttons, but when the game is too intense, the sensitivity is too low and the touch will be disconnected, and the response in the game will be slow, which is very inconvenient. Straight-screen phones do not have the pain point of accidental touches. Compared with curved screens, straight screens have higher operating accuracy, and are now equipped with high refresh rates. Playing games on straight screens is very smooth and responsive, and the gaming experience is excellent.

The above are the characteristics of curved screens and flat screens. Both have their own advantages. In fact, whether it is a flat screen design or a curved screen design, when we buy it, we mainly base it on our own preferences and habits, and also combine it with our different mobile phone needs. Therefore, curved screens will continue to develop, and flat screens will not disappear. Both have their own advantages and are relatively complementary, which can bring consumers a lot of choice.
