Written before the MiX listing: Full Screen Device Record - SHARP Sharp Aquos Crystal & Hisense Hisense Mirror
In October, as digital enthusiasts, we watched numerous press conferences for new products, or were sincere or disappointing, but I think no one would deny that the MiX concept machine is the most amazing. High screen ratio and full ceramic body topic sense. Many people feel the progress of Xiaomi, and many people question its relationship with Sharp technology. As an amateur player, I think I didn't have the opportunity to get Mix to play in the first place, but it's not a bad idea for us to talk about the borderless devices I've used in this breath, to be considered for the upcoming Mix.
(Millet MiX)
What is frameless?Lei always put forward a picture of the future mobile phone at the conference, that is, the entire mobile phone is a screen. In the previous article, I also mentioned that the so-called borderless is to constantly increase the screen share. Think carefully about the digital devices around you. Is it lighter or lighter? The larger the frontal space occupied by the screen, the stronger the sense of technology. The old and antiques are often stupid, black and thick, and the frame is suspended from the mother carriage; out of aesthetic considerations, the border is more Narrow, the larger the size of the screen that can fit in the same size, is the most compromised experience for humans whose palm size cannot be further evolved. However, in order to maintain the overall mechanical strength of mobile phones and the limitations of industrial standards, the concept of a true "no" border is currently impossible to achieve, and manufacturers have made the following suggestions for narrowing the frame.
ID no border
First, mention a negative teaching material, ID no border is also called no border ID, ID is Industrial Design (Industrial Design), refers to engineering, aesthetics, economics based on the design of industrial products, it can be understood as aesthetics without borders. Taking Lemax 1Max as the representative, from the point of view of the real machine, after closing the screen, it is indeed a black one, which is in line with the aesthetics of extinguishing the screen. However, after the screen is lighted, there is a large black border on the mobile phone, and the so-called border size is larger than the official one. This kind of design is polite. It is cheating. It is deceptive to consumers. However, due to the good effect of publicity, and renderings are very beautiful, including millet Huawei and other large companies have also launched ID-free products. Until the technical progress of ODM manufacturers can mature to make a narrow border, this concept will gradually disappear.
(Photo quoted from the ROM base, "a picture tells you: no border and ID no border difference")
Ultra narrow border
The scheme of ultra-narrow frame is not so much the efforts of mobile phone manufacturers, but more can be attributed to the progress of foundry's industrial level. When the precision and technology of processing are continuously improved, the technical progress of the panel manufacturers and the continuous development of the bonding process This development can be said to be an inevitable manifestation. The current mainstream Android flagship products have made the border a very narrow degree, especially domestic blue and green duo and Meizu, have a very narrow border and the design is very colorful products. On the other hand, Apple has been insisting on the design of the aircraft to be suspended from the border.

Curved screen & optical borderless
As mentioned earlier, the current technology has no way to completely cancel the frame. Therefore, manufacturers have thought of using other methods to bend overtaking. Samsung, as a representative of manufacturers with deeper OLED screens, adopted curved screen technology, which has reached the goal of integrating the borders into the sides and visually disappearing the border; after Xiaomi Note2 was published, we knew that LG also had This technology; curved screen in the first generation product S6e may feel bad, but in the beginning of the S7e has been solved by pebble modeling, if not Note7 out of a big Oolong, this year is Samsung's great retry High-end opportunities, but nothing.

Another way to hide the border is to refract the light from the lower screen by refracting the light and by covering the glass with a different refractive index at the border. It must be said that this is a very tricky approach. The first one to use this technology is Sharp's Aquos Crystal series which will be described in detail below, and this year's ZTE flagship nubia z11 can be seen in use, the effect is very amazing.

Sharp's borderless phone
Sharp mobile phones are said to be the centralized representative of Japanese mobile phone features. Due to the local characteristics of Japan, operators are very strong, resulting in the basic products of local mobile phone manufacturers are all launched in the form of custom machines, resulting in a large number of ideas and functions in Japanese mobile phones can only be local The use of a foreign country immediately exposed the symptoms of dissatisfaction with water and soil, coupled with the rigidity of management thinking, leading to Japanese mobile phone manufacturers in the process of internationalization almost defeated. (BTW, I think Sony is not a purely Japanese mobile phone as an international company. It should be a consensus.)
Why did MIX suddenly jump out of Sharp's dutiful sons and daughters after the MIX came out? We still have to talk about Sharp's product line and consistent design style in these years.
Sharp launched the 302sh mobile phone as early as 2013, which should be the first product to cancel the design of flat-panel mobile phone forehead. In the same year, it also introduced a smaller screen 303sh, and a stronger 304sh.

The Aquos Crystal series is a mobile phone series launched by Sharp in 2014. Immediately after its launch, it was hotly debated in the market. The reason was the first mobile phone with the three-frame borderless technology implemented through the light refraction technology mentioned above. However, such a stunning product configuration is very low-end, and only in Japan and the United States released two models of custom operators, the Japanese version is 305sh, the US version is 306sh.
However, Aquos Crystal is not just such a product. Its high-end Aquos Crystal X (number 402/403sh), which was released at the same time, reached the level of the flagship configuration in the same period; and in 2015, the Aquos Crystal series released an update, the appearance is basically the same Based on the updated configuration (405sh). In 2016, you learned that Sharp was finally acquired by Hon Hai, and Sharp's mobile phone became a Foxconn's OEM vest. The distribution was basically the mediocre of Mediatek.

I purchased an Aquos Crystal generation product in Meiya in early 2015. The US version is numbered 306sh. It has always been used as a toy. If you evaluate it, you have to say that it is a very interesting product. First of all, this product's positioning is quite low, I bought the boost mobile customized version for only 99 knives, and the mobile phone packaging is similar to the low-end mouse packaging with a plastic shell; the overall thickness of the phone is very thick more than 1cm, the back shell is Very poor texture of engineering plastics, the configuration is poor, almost no manufacturers will use the dragon 400 +1.5 g ram.
(Compared with S6e+, the narrow border is very obvious)
(The back cover is a very cheap engineering plastic)
(The machine thickness control is not very good)
However, the front of the mobile phone has a very technical sense. The design with three sides without borders was invincible in 2014. The 720P screen is also available in the 4.6-inch body, and the bone conduction receiver is also very advanced. Dare to believe that these elements will be reflected in the low-end handsets of a 99-knife machine. Think of these elements in the year to give any domestic Internet handset makers what kind of waves that can set off in the mobile phone market, and they can do a good job. The brand is really like a non-Japanese manufacturer.
However, it must be clarified that Mix's rounded screen is the first one to be used in mass production, and that ultrasonic distance sensing and piezoelectric sound transmission technology are also the first use on mobile phones. The most important thing is that Mix, after adopting the new technology, can achieve a balance of other configurations. Under the premise of being able to buy it, it is more inevitable than the success of Aquos Crystal. After all, it is the shortest to decide how much water a barrel can hold. That board.
(This Sharp concept machine, Corn R, reappeared during these days, and this model uses igzo-based Free Form Display technology that allows the display to be shaped in any way. It is round-cornered. This was specifically mentioned at the press conference. It can be speculated that Mix may use Sharp's technology, but Corn R does not have a real prototype. The sample displayed at the show has pulled out the data line. Afterwards, it cannot run independently.)
This is an egg part of this article, Hisense mirror tablet is an Android tablet product released by Hisense in 2015. The feature is the three-sided design of this narrow side, plus 2k resolution display, 8.4 inch size is very eye-catching. But the configuration is very subtle, see below
So, even if ipadmini3 is in gloomy business, in 2015 there is a flat panel of this configuration, but also the price of 1799, in the flat panel market shrinking the current is impossible to sell well, so this product soon The market is down, and it is difficult to find new machines on any e-commerce platform.

I saw someone mentioning something in the post about Mix one day, so I went to the salted fish for a game, and the price was basically one-third of the price. At the same time, I saw that my mother had no such product. Original, or simply evaluation of this product, first of all is very eye-catching is the three sides of the narrow border design, the thickness of the border in the tablet computer is very amazing, but if compared with mobile phones, it is a little narrower than the iphone. However, in accordance with the current industry standard for calculating the proportion of screens, which is not a border, it is appropriate that the proportion of screens in this tablet exceeds 90%.
The screen is 2k ips screen, the effect is naturally very good, ppi more than 300, the display effect is delicate, bright colors, watching the video effect is also very good; At the same time due to the 16:10 resolution, watching comics and novels is also good Experience. My favorite thing is that the experience of running NDS simulator in this size is completely better than real machine, and the operation of the screen is very good.
(Compared to iPadpro 12.9, it is very compact)
(The effect of playing Nds simulator is amazing)
(See the video experience is also good)
Of course, this product still has many and fatal shortcomings. First of all, this product has made a lot of sacrifices in order to achieve thin and no frame, the interface is only a single microUSB port, there is no headphone port; button only has a power button, There is no volume control; there is no camera, there is no front and rear, the same photoreceptor is not, and because the wedge structure is used, that is, the thickness of the border is only 3mm, so when the grip is relatively cut, and then With the ultra-narrow frame design, there is simply no way to use it like a normal tablet. The most important and most crucial is that the configuration is very low, security Bunny only 3w points, only one-third of note5 of the same period last year, compared to this year's flagship is only one-sixth.
(only one interface and button)
I tested it, online video playback basically no problem, 2D games can also run. But for large-scale 3D games, even mobile games, such as the collapse of 3, the king's glory is basically a card slide, and the PSP simulator is running carelessly. So basically we can understand why such an unforgettable product has been quietly listed and rapidly released on the premise that most people do not know.
tailThere is no doubt that the future of smart devices will become more and more narrow borders, the proportion of screen will be greater and greater, this is the mighty momentum of the world. But just want to kill a bloody road with a fresh trick, I think this time the two products have been used to prove the cruelty of the market with their tragic experience. Consumers are not fools, and gimmicks can never defeat the experience.
At the same time, we are happy to see such products like Mix are brave enough to try new technologies and dare to try and make mistakes for the industry because we are unwilling to see that half of the selling price contributes to the idols and channels of mediocre products. The city, just like without Apple's and Android's innovations, we may still be enjoying the technology of Nuoji to replace the shell with the screen of the ancestral 320240.
Although Xiaomi's sales growth may not be helpful, and it may also be a post-market criticism, I believe that Mix is ​​a product that can be remembered by history. Thanks to Xiaomi's exploration of technology, he also expects more manufacturers to focus on the development of technology. Finally, I still look forward to buying a real machine before the Mix market. This is really the first millet phone that can attract me up the mountain.
