Huawei|Huawei launches new $2,600 foldable 5G phone to rival Samsung华为发布售价 2600 美元的 5G 折叠屏手机,意与三星抗衡
Huawei Technologies Co. announced a smartphone that unfolds into a small tablet computer, potentially rendering the need to carry two separate devices obsolete.
华为技术有限公司宣布推出一款可以展开成小型平板电脑的智能手机,它的出现可能会让携带两部独立设备的需求成为过去时。
The Mate X supports next-generation 5G networks and will cost 2,299 euros ($2,606) when released in the summer. When folded, the Mate X has a 6.6-inch display;
but when opened out, it becomes an 8-inch tablet computer. It’s the second folding phone announced by a major manufacturer within a week. Samsung revealed the Galaxy Fold on Wednesday.
Mate X 支持新一代 5G 网络,预计将在今年夏季以 2299 欧元(合 2606 美元)的价格开售。折叠后,Mate X 显示屏有 6.6 英寸,但展开时,它就变成了一台 8 英寸的平板电脑。这是在同一周内第二款由大型手机制造商发布的折叠屏手机。在周三,三星刚发布了新品 Galaxy Fold。
The market for smartphones is slowing, and manufacturers are scrambling to find new ways to convince consumers they should upgrade their devices. Next-generation high-speed networks are still far away from mainstream availability, so device makers are looking at new device form factors to conjure up excitement.
目前,智能手机的市场增速正在放缓。为了说服消费者升级自己的设备,手机制造商正争先恐后地寻找新办法。新一代高速网络在主流市场中的应用依然遥遥无期,所以,为了激发公众的热情,手机制造商们正在考虑利用新型手机外形这样的因素。
Huawei has been battling global scrutiny over its telecom equipment, but often overlooked is the company’s rapid growth as a smartphone manufacturer. Last year it surpassed Apple to become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones, according to data from market research firm IDC.
华为一直忙于应对全球范围内对其通讯设备的审查。但作为智能手机制造商,该公司的迅速发展常常被忽视。根据市场调研公司 IDC 提供的数据,去年华为赶超了苹果,成为了世界第二大智能手机制造商。
【Huawei|Huawei launches new $2,600 foldable 5G phone to rival Samsung华为发布售价 2600 美元的 5G 折叠屏手机,意与三星抗衡】Thomas Husson, an analyst at Forrester, said the Mate X “shows Huawei is a leader in tech innovation.” But it will be “a few years” before a significant mass of customers get their hands on 5G functionalities and foldable screens, he said.
托马斯·哈逊是弗雷斯特研究公司的一名分析师。他认为,Mate X“证明了华为是科技创新领域的领先者”,但是要让广大用户能亲自使用 5G 功能和可折叠屏幕,还需要“几年时间”。
