In those years, we spent a lot of money in vain for the "face" of a mobile phone.
I don’t even know when it started. The piece of cold glass in my hand connected with the metal and suddenly became an extension of our face.
Today's mobile phones are so powerful that they are a bit boring. This situation is like looking for a partner. It no longer only focuses on "whether it owns a house and car" (whether it can operate the game smoothly), but starts to focus on "whether the appearance matches what you want" and "whether the photo has a filter effect."
This is actually quite sad and quite true.
Manufacturers certainly smell this smell.
The curved lines are presented on glass and ceramics, and I really want to apply the entire jewelry design method to mobile phones.
We, with a willing attitude, pay for this so-called "appearance". Even though I know in my heart that it may just be a "vase" with only appearance and no real connotation, I am still full of desire and want to own it.
## Honor 8: That summer with glass back
I have to admit that when Honor 8 first came out, it was really amazing.
At that time, the streets were full of cold metals, some frosted and some brushed, and they felt like a hardware store.
Suddenly, a double-sided 2.5D glass appeared, reflecting restrained and delicate light patterns under the light, just like the marbles I played with when I was a child.
Some netizens asked on the forum, "Summer is here, how is your little 8?"
Someone replied below: "It's hot, and the frame drops when playing with pesticides, but it looks good."
You see, for this face, we can even endure the hot palms of our hands.
## Honor Magic: Eight-sided curved screen, eight-sided fragility
Magic's eight-sided curved screen, how to describe it, is like a pebble taken from a science fiction movie.
When I saw it for the first time in the store, I really said "wow". That round appearance does not seem to be something produced in this era.
But the reality is shocking.
There is a user who bought the Honor Magic V5. Although it is not the same model, the fragile genes are the same. In winter, he went to the mountains to take pictures of rime. At this time, the camera fogged up.
Some users complained that the motherboard broke just a few days after the warranty expired.
Beautiful and beautiful things are often easily damaged. We all know this truth. However, it is so fragile that it must be enshrined with caution, and even the film attached at the factory is not dared to be removed. In this case, can it still be regarded as a mobile phone? Could it be said that we have brought back a new "Master"-like existence?
## Nubia Z11: The obsession with bezel-less and the joy of buying hands
No borders.
At that time, these three words were simply metaphysics. Nubia has done it, using the principle of refraction, which makes you think that the screen is overflowing.
The quality is really high, and it feels like holding a whole display screen in your hand.
But I am afraid of the word "but" in everything.
Someone posted a message on the Tieba forum with a very direct title: "Nubian is a rubbish phone."
"If you buy it again, you will have to chop your brain off." There were many people commenting on the post, and they all mentioned the lagging phenomenon, the difficulty in using the system, and the slow charging speed.
For that "side face" that presents a borderless style, we suffer from a system that is not so easy to use. This is very similar to love, where all the bad temper of the other person is tolerated because of his outstanding appearance.
## Xiaomi MIX: For the first time, the phone is like a piece of jade
When Xiaomi MIX was released, to be honest, it shocked me.
It turns out that the mobile phone can have no "forehead" and only retain the chin. The impact of having no borders on three sides is more shocking than any current folding screen. It is really incredible.
The designer said it was inspired by the all-ceramic structure. When held in the hand, it really looks like a piece of warm jade.
However, there are some people who claim that the front-facing camera is placed in the lower right corner and it is stupid to have to turn the phone upside down when video chatting.
Not to mention that some users complained later that the MIX Fold's screen was leaking and the hinges were bulging, which meant they had to go through troubles during repairs.
You see, in order to keep this piece of "jade" intact, we are even willing to change the posture we take when taking selfies. How deep our obsession is.
## vivo Xplay6: Curved surface, music, and the camera
vivo has always understood young people.
Xplay6 has a curved screen that matches the metal body, which really shows its class. It is not like an ordinary mobile phone, but more like an extremely exquisite Walkman.
It is very smart and knows what young people want: to look good when taking photos and to listen to music that sounds good.
When someone evaluated its camera, they said that when shooting car light tracks in a dark parking lot, the length of the light spot reached two meters, and there was no noise.
It hit the hearts of those artistic young people who are passionate about singing, taking selfies and loving life. Even though it was expensive, even though the processor might not be the most powerful at the time, that small group of people didn't care.
That's the tone they want.
## Written at the end: Beauty is original sin and redemption
Looking back at these five mobile phones, they are like slices of an era.
They were criticized by us for being hot, lagging, fragile, and hard to buy. However, we watched their unboxing videos late at night, looking at the light and shadow, and couldn't stop drooling.
The performance of today's mobile phones has long exceeded the required range. The appearance we pursue is actually a kind of "personality".
Carrying a beautiful mobile phone, every photo I take and every arc of reflection tell the world who I am.
It is no longer a tool.
It is the small, shining, vain and true self in the palm of our hands.
