Repairs are too expensive! Why are curved screen phones so popular despite obvious shortcomings? Insiders explain the reason

The birth of curved screens has always been controversial. At first, only Samsung used curved screens. Domestic manufacturers were not interested in comparison because the repair cost of a curved screen is too expensive if it breaks. Many friends think that curved screens are useless and easy to touch by mistake. In addition, mobile phones equipped with curved screens are often high-end products, which are expensive and not affordable, which makes more users unable to accept curved screens. But the fact is just the opposite. Mobile phones with curved screens have gradually become mainstream, and sales are getting better and better. Why is this? For this reason, I asked an insider, a master who repairs mobile phones, and he gave three reasons.

nice

The first reason is very simple and crude! Many friends choose curved screens simply because they look good! After all, appearance is an important criterion for most friends to choose products (not just mobile phones). Just like letting a boy choose a lipstick color, facing a variety of reds, boys will naturally only choose the color they think is good-looking.

And this is the biggest advantage of the curved screen. Mobile phones equipped with curved screens are more pleasing to the user's eyes from a visual perspective, and the visual impact brought by the curved screen is stronger, especially when watching TV shows and playing games, the picture overflow on the screen is stronger. From the perspective of appearance and vision, the beauty of the curved screen is higher than that of the straight screen.

A symbol of high end

The second reason is even simpler, that is, the curved screen is a symbol of high-end. Samsung first put it on the Galaxy series flagship phones, and now, the curved screen is basically present in the flagship models of major brands, such as Xiaomi 11 and Redmi K40 Pro. Both are equipped with Qualcomm 888 processors, but the former is equipped with a curved screen, which is also one of the differences between the two products.

Since the curved screen is a symbol of high-end, it is natural that users will like it. After all, everyone wants to show off. If your phone shows high-end and tasteful, you will have more face. Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, there is indeed a demand. It is just like the design of many bags. The price is mainly due to the brand logo. Compared with a logo, the curved screen on the phone is a real screen upgrade!

The curved screen also brings a better feel. The curvature from the back of the phone to the front of the screen makes the phone feel better to hold. I vividly remember buying the OPPO Find X. Due to its special design, the body of this product is relatively thick, reaching 9.6mm, but because of the proper design of the curved screen and the curvature of the back, I found that it feels pretty good after I got my hands on it.

Price drop

One of the biggest complaints about curved screens is that they are too expensive, but the good news is that in recent years, mid-range curved screen phones have gradually appeared in domestic mobile phones. In addition to the price cuts of flagship products of major brands last year, the cheapest curved screen phone is the Realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition! This product is a new product released this year. It has been adjusted on the basis of the Realme X7 Pro, replacing the straight screen with a curved screen. Now the 8+128 version costs less than 2,000 yuan, which can be said to be very powerful! In addition, the overall configuration of this product is also good. The Dimensity 1000+ processor has strong performance, 65W fast charging + 64 million rear triple cameras are all mainstream at the same price level, and appearance is still its biggest selling point. If you love curved screen products, you can pay attention to it!

Based on the above three reasons, curved screens are more popular with consumers as the price gets lower and lower. In the future, if the cost of curved screens decreases, it is expected that more new curved screen products will be released in the 2,000 yuan price range. If a curved screen mobile phone is priced at 2,000 yuan, will you buy it?
