TCL Flex V
There are two types of folding smartphones: horizontal opening and vertical folding.Of these two shapes, Samsung, Huawei, and Motorola have a vertical folding type.However, another company is expected to join here.The TCL "Flex V", called the development code name "Project Chicago", will be released in 2022.[Image] Opened, Flex V was developed in 2021, and it was scheduled to be released before and after the appearance of Samsung's "Galaxy Z Flip3 5G".In the end, the release was postponed, but TCL exhibited the actual machine at CES 2022 held in Las Vegas in January 2022, making it a major release this year.The screen size of Flex V is 6.Like the 7 type and the Galaxy Z Flip3 5g, the feel you get is quite similar. The major difference from the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the structure of the hinge, and there is no muscular line on the folding surface. If you hold it in an open state, it does not look like a folding type. The exterior is organized in beige shades and has an elegant atmosphere. Vertical folding smartphones are particularly targeted for women. In addition, the detailed specifications are unknown because it is a model under development. The movement of the hinge is neither heavy nor light, so you can easily open and close with one hand. The hinge can be stopped at any position. It also supports flex mode, which allows you to divide the app display in two when the L -shaped shape is made. Unlike Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, the gap does not open when closed. The side of the main unit is slightly curved, so the holding feeling when closed is also nice. There is also a vertical display on the outside, and you can start telephone, camera, music apps, etc. from here. This display supports touch operation, so you can receive incoming calls, perform music playback controls, and also take pictures while projected here. You can take a selfie using two high -quality main cameras. Flex V processor is Snapdragon 765G. If it is released in 2022, it may be changed to the latest chips of the same class. Because it is a middle high -range model, it will come out for less than 100,000 yen, so if it is released, it will be quite popular.
