From narrower creases to light and anti-drop, the folding screen is finally about to roll up to three folds.
Recently, a photo of Yu Chengdong, chairperson of Huawei’s end point BG, holding the new machine in his hand on the plane was circulated on the Internet. The photo shows that he is holding a three-fold mobile phone. From the photo, it can be seen that the machine should be folded inside and outside, with a double hinge design. The screen is expected to be about 10 inches. Online news said that the schedule of the machine is "earlier than the Mate 70".
Yu Chengdong revealed at the Xiangjie S9 delivery event that Huawei’s triple-folding screen mobile phone will be released in September. It is reported that the specific date is likely to be September 28.
From the release of the first folding screen mobile phone in 2018 to the present, the folding screen category seems to have completed the evolution from early adopters to commonly used, achieving a hundred flowers blooming. But in fact, since this year, some brands have adjusted the rhythm of folding screen releases, and some manufacturers have suspended the iteration of small folds, so as to focus on the main fold. At this time, why did Huawei dare to be the first to eat crabs and launch a three-fold screen mobile phone? Is it to show off muscles, or is there really a demand?
Five years.
Is the folding screen still a niche?
Since the release of the first folding screen mobile phone in 2018, the folding screen has been developed for 5 years. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also tried to release various forms of folding screen mobile phones. The price has dropped from the unattainable tens of thousands of yuan to five or six thousand yuan; the feel has also been upgraded from the previous heavy and inconvenient to comparable to the straight machine. However, the folding screen mobile phone has not yet been popularized by the public and has become the mainstream model.
According to TrendForce consulting data, the global folding mobile phone shipments in 2023 15.90 million units, an increase of 25% year-on-year, accounting for only about 1.4% of the overall smartphone market that year.
Although the data given by IDC shows that China’s folding screen mobile phone has seen rapid growth in 2023, an increase of 114.5% year-on-year, the growth rate is much higher than the global market, but the shipment is only 7.007 million units, only 2.4% of the mobile phone market in ** countries.
In 2024, TrendForce believes that folding screen shipments will usher in 11% year-on-year growth, and the market penetration rate is expected to rise to 1.5%. By 2025, it may exceed 2%. But no matter how much growth, such a penetration rate is difficult to be linked to the "mainstream".
At the beginning of this year, there were also analysts who reported that two major mobile phone brands had decided to suspend plans to launch new vertical folding screen mobile phones in 2024. Sales data for 2024Q1 released by Counterpoint Research, a market consultancy, also showed that the small folding market was somewhat sluggish: shipments of horizontal folding large folding models increased by 91% year-on-year, while shipments of vertical small folding models decreased by 1% year-on-year.
Overall, the growth of the folding screen mobile phone market has gradually entered the plateau.
Why does the folding screen category seem to have completed the evolution from early adopters to commonly used, the creases are narrower, the body is thinner, and it has become resistant to falling and manufacturing… but it is still not the mainstream?
That is a fundamental problem that everyone has been avoiding. Even the current largest size of the 8-inch internal screen is limited by the display ratio. In scenes such as watching movies and viewing PPT, the amount of information it can display is not obvious compared to the large-screen straight-board machine.
In layman’s terms, it means "although the screen is large, it cannot be fully utilized".
The goal of the folding screen is to break the limit of the screen of the straight board machine, but it has great significance, such as three times the offline viewing of the straight board machine, which can replace the existence of small tablets.
Perhaps, this is the problem that the triple folding screen can solve.
Will triple folding make folding mainstream?
From the information currently exposed on the Internet, Huawei’s three-fold can bring about a 10-inch super-large screen, with a focus on achieving a display ratio close to 16:10. Therefore, the aforementioned assumptions become possible. With a folding keypad and a stylus, it really has the opportunity to replace a small-sized screen, and a 10-inch large screen can also be fully utilized.
The folding screen is what Mr. Yu calls a "subversive" product.
Yu Chengdong once broke the news in Dong Yuhui’s live stream: The next generation of folding screens can be imagined by others, but they can’t be made. We have been thinking about it for five years, and it is finally about to come out.
In 2023, Yu Chengdong also used the same words to describe this three-fold screen phone: Huawei will launch very leading, innovative, disruptive products… At that time, you can see how we can rewrite the history of this industry. Hope to continue to exceed everyone’s expectations, do things that others can’t think of or think of but can’t do, or even things they dare not think of.
Industry expertsThe three-fold screen mobile phone still has many challenges: the three-fold screen achieved by folding inside and outside must first solve the flatness of the two different directions of the folding support, as well as the reliability problem after long-term use, which is undoubtedly the biggest challenge for its shaft structure at present.
Secondly, the challenge of weight and thickness, under the premise of ensuring performance, heat dissipation, and battery life, how can a mobile phone of this form be relatively lightweight without castrating its core functions?
Finally, going back to the early folding screen is not resistant to falling, because it involves two folds, the screen is exposed to more areas, an annual blockbuster product that is expected to sprint 20,000, how to ensure that the screen can be fully protected? This will also be a big challenge for Huawei.
From the world’s first 5G folding screen, to the largest brand in the form of folding screen, to the world’s first mass-produced triple-folding screen flagship that is about to be released, Huawei has indeed achieved a leading position in the field of folding screens.
Huawei’s triple-folding screen phone will be the end of the folding screen, allowing folding phones to go mainstream? We will wait and see.
The world’s largest, thinnest, and most expensive mobile phone has arrived!
The much-anticipated Huawei autumn new product launch event kicked off in a dance called "See Extraordinary".
On the afternoon of September 10, Huawei saw the extraordinary brand ceremony and Hongmeng Zhixing’s new product launch conference were held in Shenzhen, and new products such as Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master were released on the spot. As the world’s first commercial mass-produced triple-folding screen mobile phone, Huawei executive director, chairperson of end point BG, chairperson of smart car solutions BU Yu Chengdong said: "This is a product that everyone can think of but can’t make. Our team has been working hard for five years and has never given up."
It is understood that the starting price of Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master is 19,999 yuan. Yu Chengdong admitted that the "cost of this product is very high".
Or stimulated by this, the afternoon class A shares Huawei concept collective higher, Dafu Technology, Changshan Beiming, Netda Software, Faben Information and other more than 10 shares limit.
Rewrite the history of the folding screen, starting at 19,900 yuan
At the beginning of the press conference, Yu Chengdong first reviewed the history of Huawei’s folding screen mobile phone: in February 2019, Huawei Mate X was released, becoming the pioneer of seamless outer folding screen mobile phones; in February 2021, Huawei Mate X2 was released, pioneering seamless inner folding technology in the world; in March 2023, Huawei Mate X3 was released, making the large folding screen mobile phone the thickness and weight of a straight board machine for the first time; in September 2023, Huawei Mate X5 was released, supporting functions such as waterproof, wired wireless super fast charging, Beidou satellite messaging, etc., becoming an all-round folding machine.
"Today we will once again rewrite the history of the industry, turn science fiction into reality, and lead the new era of folding. This is my world’s first triple-folding phone, Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master!" Yu Chengdong said.
At the press conference, Mr. Yu unfolded the Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master, which looks like a 10.2-inch "tablet". It is "the largest and thinnest phone in the world", Mr. Yu said, and is only 3.6mm thick when unfolded. From a design perspective, the Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master adopts high-end designs such as rock vein texture, black gold waist line, and artisan logo.
Why can Huawei launch the world’s first mass-produced three-fold screen mobile phone? Yu Chengdong believes that the breakthrough of screen and hinge technology is the key to "turning science fiction into reality". It is understood that Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master pioneered the "Huawei Tiangong hinge system", which for the first time in the world realized the integration of the inner and outer folding of the hinge system. This is also the first time to achieve the inner and outer bending of the ultra-thin large screen.
It is understood that the ultra-thin large-screen three-fold mobile phone needs to achieve internal and external bending resistance to extrusion and external folding resistance to stretching. "We made a prototype very early, but it was very difficult to solve the problem of mass production, and finally we solved the problem of product design and process reliability," Yu Chengdong said.
In order to solve the reliability problem of the outer layer of the screen, Huawei has adopted a dual impact-resistant composite super-tough laminated structure on the Mate XT Extraordinary Master, and the surface is made of non-Newtonian fluid materials to achieve "softness in case of softness, strength in case of strength", which makes the impact-resistant capacity enhancement of the mobile phone screen more than 30%.
In order to be "big and thin", Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master adopts "the thinnest silicon negative electrode large-capacity battery in the world", with a thickness of only 1.99mm, a battery life of 5600mAh, and supports 66W wired super fast charging and 50W wireless super fast charging. In terms of imaging, Huawei Mate XT rear three cameras are 50 million pixel main camera, 12 million pixel ultra-wide-angle lens and 12 million pixel periscope telephoto. At the same time, Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master supports Tiantong satellite communication, which can do satellite calls.
From the price point of view, Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master has a total of three versions, including the 16GB + 256GB version priced at 19999 yuan, the 16GB + 512GB version priced at 21,999 yuan, and the 16GB + 1TB version priced at 23,999 yuan. It was officially launched at 10:08 on September 20.
Huawei’s mobile phone share rebounded from the bottom and returned to the top spot in China
At the press conference, Mr. Yu said Huawei had launched its consumer business in 2013, 11 years ago, and had finally topped the global market for mobile phones in 2020. "After four rounds of sanctions, our market share fell to the bottom, but we never lost confidence, kept innovating and breaking through, chasing our dreams, and never gave up," he said.
On August 29, 2023, Huawei released the new Mate 60 series in the form of the "Pioneer Plan", which fired the first shot of Huawei’s end point business "rebound from the bottom". On September 10 of the same year, Huawei Mate 60 and Mate 60 Pro products started full sales in Huawei Mall and quickly sold out.
By this year, Huawei’s mobile phone sales have regained the first place in China. IDC data shows that in the first half of 2024, Huawei once again became the first place in China’s smartphone market with a market share of 17.5%. The growth rate of mobile phone shipments in the first quarter and the second quarter was 110% and 50.2% respectively, leading the industry. IDC said that although external restrictions continue to tighten, Huawei’s supply capacity continues to improve, narrowing the gap with Apple in the market above 4,000 yuan.
In the field of folding screens, market research firm Techinsights released a report saying that in 2024 Quarter 1 Huawei topped the global folding screen mobile phone market, growing by 257% year-on-year, followed by Samsung and Honor. IDC data shows that in the second quarter of 2024, China’s folding screen mobile phone market maintained a triple-digit year-on-year growth, with shipments reaching 2.57 million units. Among them, Huawei ranked first with a market share of 41.7%. Now the release of Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master may make Huawei’s folding screen mobile phone go to a new height.
As of 15:45 pm on September 10, the number of reservations on the official website of Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master has reached 3.915 million.

It’s the end of the year, and it’s time for major models to announce their transcripts. Ford Mondeo set a new sales record in May in the second half of 2023, with sales reaching 7,648 units in December. At the end of November 2023, the Mondeo high-horsepower E-hybrid version was advanced into the market. With the blessing of Ford’s high-horsepower E-hybrid system, it has both high horsepower, low fuel consumption and long battery life, bringing users a one-step "saving" and high-quality car ownership experience.
In order to allow users to have a more intuitive understanding of the "province" of the new car, the Mondeo high-horsepower E-hybrid version has recently launched public testing activities in major regions across the country. On January 5, the first public test of the Mondeo high-horsepower E-hybrid version in 2024 – Xi’an Station started with a fire, the team traveled nearly 100 kilometers in the urban area of Xi’an, and the lowest fuel consumption in the public test was 3.4L. "The most economical Ford car in history" deserves its name.
The outstanding performance of the Mondeo high-horsepower E-hybrid version in the Xi’an public test is due to its equipped with a new generation of EcoBoost1.5T twin-swirl turbocharged engine, which integrates 350Bar dual injection system + high-pressure cooling exhaust gas recirculation two technologies, achieving a maximum power of 140kW, a maximum torque of 222N ? m, and a strong power of 7.5s acceleration for 100 kilometers.

When I discovered this vehicle rivalry game called Crossout on Steam, the first thing that came to mind was the movie Mad Max.
Just like in movies, yellow sand, explosions, blood, these are the scenes that should be in the end times
Driving the network accelerator on the virtual wasteland carried by the European server, I upgraded my novice pickup truck all the way to a heavy ** that can easily ** any AI computer.
Slowly, I discovered that this is not so much a tank version of World of Tanks, but a 3D version of Minecraft or Terraria. Like building blocks, the car building system makes everything possible. Of course, you have to admire the brains of the old drivers.
Their ideas and brainstorming make all cars no longer seem like normal cars.
Is this a fish-shaped wuling, or a submarine?
In Crossout, the concept of independent damage means that on the battlefield, one second you are sighing "car driver", and the next second your tire rolls aside. At the beginning, I often laughed and scolded: "What stupid X’s tire flew." It turned out that my own tire was blown out and flew out.
Based on this, these experienced drivers have developed a particularly dirty way of taunting: shoot all your parts and then push the front of your car to run.
After going through the group of old drivers in foreign clothes for a full 20 minutes, I found this old picture. The front of the car was dragged and ran, which is a *************** for every old driver
In fact, until this time, the outer server was still quiet and serene. As a niche game, except for some furry brothers in "Crossout" who would bully their teammates by self-destruction and other methods, the whole game looked like a paradise.
Until one day, I suddenly noticed how there are so many minivans that are not afraid of death in the game. I just realized that the root of all evil has maxed out my Moments.
This article from WeChat official account beebee details the story of a gang of Wuling God cars running rampant in foreign clothes
The same patriotic factor, this routine and the WeChat official account before the release of the "H1Z1" popular article seems a bit familiar. But the down-to-earth publicity seems to really mobilize the emotions of the players.
The most intuitive manifestation is that in the outer clothes, there are fewer people playing hard boats and cannons, but more autumn mountain car gods driving Wuling minivans drifting. They started with fluent and authentic English: "I’m WuLing, ******!" This seems to have become a neat slogan, just like the "Sao *****" in the hot H1Z1 not long ago.
The players in the national server far away need a logo of mutual recognition. So the Red Army and "Sao *****" became the representatives of H1Z1, and Wuling Hongguang became the symbol of "Crossout". Although it cannot be compared with the H1Z1 article that caused 100,000 hundred fingers and millions of Steam sales, this article also made "Crossout" popular.
The hundred fingers of the game’s national service have reached their peak in the article published outside beebee
The story did not end so simply. The influx of a large number of domestic players made the game instantly lively. "No one can compare with the Chinese in online games" is definitely not blown out. If we say when contemporary people are most united, there may be only one answer: online games.
In the beginning, as the new Wuling car gods, they were tortured to death, and the old drivers of foreign service enjoyed the experience and happiness of ravaging others. However, under the constant frustration, the domestic players were aroused to be more resilient.
Technology is not as good as people, they try their best to overtake the car. Liver equipment, profiteers, price control, the game market in the "Crossout" outer server is almost monopolized by these Wuling car gods from China. Whoever masters the economy has the voice over.
A basic raw material for a game called scrap iron, the price of which can change two to three times in a row within a day; all legendary weapons are out of stock in the market, foreigners want to buy it? Ask Wuling Car God first.
The story does not end here. In the later stage of the beta test of "Crossout", with the increase of internal parts in the inventory of Chinese and foreign players and the intensification of contradictions.
A terrorist organization called a suicide attack was born.
They may not all be Wuling car gods, but they are definitely more intimidating than the Wuling team with a serious local atmosphere. Everyone in this organization has transformed their cars into a huge frame, and the reasonable physical structure and the propeller that can accelerate the running make their cars form a "frame" with open arms.
Regardless of the enemy or the enemy, as long as you are framed, you will not be able to escape again. Because framing your car only restricts your movement, and the real fear is the oil drums that cover the entire body. The people of this organization will self-destruct and ignite the oil drums, and with a loud bang, you will watch your chariot and the behemoth on the screen perish together.
The flashing red light in the picture is a sign of self-destruction, and the next second is waiting for you to die in the sea of fire
With the opening of the national uniform, the Wuling car gods faded away like a tide, leaving only the drivers who had changed from newcomers to old drivers on the beach. The entire Crossout gradually returned to normal, as if the Wuling Legion had never appeared. However, in the chariot museum where the design drawings were stored, there were traces of their battles left.
Later, I also temporarily AFK the outer server. When I got the activation code of the national server and entered the game, I suddenly wondered: Does the Wuling Legion have a founder or leader?
However, the national service and the foreign service are already two different games.
When I faced the Chariot Museum in China (a place used to display players’ car-making works), the question "what is this?" flooded my mind. If "Crossout" in foreign service is like a competition where people quietly build tanks and play robots, "Genesis Chariot" in national service is like a Wuling VS Dayun motorcycle full of local atmosphere.
Search for Wuling keywords in the game and you will see many masterpieces from this organization
The symbol of the Wuling Legion is Wuling Hongguang, and finding the autumn mountain car god is the first step to success. But the dazzling array of Wuling makes it impossible to start, until I found such a car in a corner of the official website:
"Mobile Selling Spring Extended Edition Wuling Hongguang".
On the official website of this game’s national service, I found a chic chariot with 482 likes. I don’t know if it belongs to the Wuling Legion, but it is indeed the most popular Wuling
It wasn’t that hard to find the author. Instead of being officially banned for making 18 banned cars, this person became an official editor, so when I asked, everyone knew who I was looking for.
Seems to be a well-known player, at least when I asked questions in the official Q group for three and a half minutes, I got a reply
In the process of chatting with the player whose ID is Tianbian Yunfan, he told me: "The reason why I want to make such a car is because I am better at splicing cars with characters." The inspiration for "mobile selling spring" was caused by an online drama. He didn’t elaborate on what the specific online drama was. He just silently threw me a screenshot of the online drama.
I haven’t watched any online dramas, but everyone seems to understand what’s going to happen next
"You should be considered an old driver?" I asked him tentatively to see if he has any connection with the legendary Wuling Legion.
"I went to play outside clothes before, and when my brain got hot, I drove Wuling, but I was blown up by foreigners and lost confidence." Tianbian said.
"Seeing your work, I thought you were the founder of the Wuling Legion." I asked.
"There are no founders, come on, let’s talk about my car." Tianbian didn’t seem to care about the Wuling Legion, an organization closely related to the game. Instead, he seriously discussed the physical structure of the car he built, and he talked with relish about the center of gravity and the process of building structural components.
Tianbian specially took a screenshot of the car leaving the garage and showed it to me. Two people in the car who were lying or lying in special positions were looming
But I didn’t care about it, I responded, but Tianbian talked more and more, and seemed very happy that the car he built was taken by me and appreciated.
"Thank you, I’ll take a look again. If you have any questions, I’ll ask you." I politely ended this simple question and answer.
After he said "oh", he stopped paying attention to me, a curious person who came to visit suddenly.
I continued to roam the official website, and once again, I found more interesting things. Wuling Hongguang’s partner, Wuling Hongguang’s game physical chariot, and Wuling Hongguang’s lottery.
The "Crossout" of the national service has become a game product derived from Wuling Hongguang. After the combination of the Wasteland apocalyptic style game and the rural Wuling Hongguang, the combination looks very magical and realistic.
This is a chariot style that will be launched in this game, and the "Lao Wang Car Repair" and "Wuling Hongguang" on it are very eye-catching.
However, apart from the cooperation between the brands, I found nothing else on the official website. Who is the earliest founder of Wuling Car God? This question is like a stone thrown into the bottom of the lake. Although there are waves, there is no response for a long time.
I was once again disappointed to return to the official QQ group, diving in, hoping to catch some clues.
"The public beta will be held tomorrow, Wuling old buddy, let’s start with me!" The appearance of a sentence caught my attention.
I knocked on that person privately: "Wuling Hongguang?"
Ten seconds later, the other party sent back a punctuation mark: "?" Concise and straightforward to express what he wanted to express.
"I want to ask, where did you know about Wuling Hongguang, are you organized?" I typed and explained.
"It’s fun. What organization is there?" The other party replied quickly, then fell silent.
After asking two or three people who had sent Wuling-related words in the group, I found that most of them were newcomers who had not yet entered the game. Just when I was about to give up, a message came from the horizon.
"Why are you looking for the founder of the Wuling team?" Tianbian asked me. Before I could reply, he called a discussion group. "Old Ma, this person is looking for you." Tianbian said in the discussion group.
The person known as Ma Zai is an old driver of foreign service. I saw his video on the official website and also saw his advertisement.
"Are you the’horse-eye panic ‘in Beebee’s article?" I couldn’t help but think of a person’s name in that popular article.
According to the description in the article, "Horse Eye Spicy Panic" is a Chongqing native, and it is also the first driver to create a giant Wuling Hongguang in the game. That huge Wuling Hongguang is called "Leviathan" in the game.
But it was extremely difficult for me to associate the word "Wuling Hongguang" in my mind with "Leviathan" from the Book of Job.
"What’s the matter with you?" Ma Zai responded to me.
"After learning about the Wuling team, I was curious and wanted to find the founder of the Wuling team. It’s just an ordinary player." I replied to him without adding a word, "By the way, I read the article about the Wuling chariot, did your car appear in it?"
"There are no founders. The description of that article is exaggerated, but some of it is true." Ma Zai and Tianbian said the same thing, and the slightly evasive tone made the entire Wuling team seem a little more mysterious.
When I saw Ma Zai, my mood was as depicted in this picture
Ma Zai told me that he had indeed led a hundred people YY to be stationed in the international service in February. But the legend of the Wuling Hongguang team in the game seems to have originated from an accident. "If I wasn’t poor, why would I drive Wuling in the game? In reality, I am the driver who drives Wuling to pull goods." Ma Zai joked.
All of this seemed like a misunderstanding, but an exaggerated report really made the Wuling team stronger.
"By the time that article was published, I had already returned to the national uniform," Ma Zai recalled, "so I have no idea what happened next."
These pictures are indeed from Ma Zai’s "Wuling Legion", but they were actually tortured very badly.
I told Ma Zai what happened later, including the suppression of the Wuling team, including the people’s monopoly of the foreign service market, and the bloody battle with Mao Zi for several days, and finally left the field bleakly.
"Do you still plan to form a Wuling team?" I asked him, "You are the founder, after all, everyone recognizes your ID."
"I’m lazy, those friends who played at the beginning don’t play anymore. The official also called me to help with this gimmick, but I don’t think it’s necessary for me." Ma Zai didn’t seem to be very interested. "At most, I can help the official broadcast games now, and as a live streaming host, I can at least get a lot of salary every month." Ma Zai said.
Just like the heroes in martial arts novels never have to worry about silver taels, never have to think about eating and drinking, all the stories and legends are extremely exaggerated and beautiful. In reality, the founder of Wuling Chariot is just a tired customer who will worry about his livelihood.
"Then do you think Wuling Hongguang is really strong in the game?" I knew the answer, but I asked him tentatively.
"You haven’t played a game, have you?" Ma Zai said. "It can only be said to be a good transition product in the early and middle stages, but then a new car will be released, so I don’t know."
After I watched him and Tianbian chat for a while, I said thank you and closed the chat box.
This person is completely different from the Wuling Car God I imagined.
Just then, WeChat pushed an article from beebee again: "Wuling Hongguang is the underworld in this game!" After clicking on it, I saw the story of how foreigners fought back against the Wuling team. Maybe this is a new legend created by new players, but it has nothing to do with the former car god.
I looked at QQ again, and Ma Zai’s avatar was still shining in the early morning. His latest comment was displayed at the bottom of the avatar:
"Driving a Wuling and being overtaken by someone in reality, and being smashed by someone in the game, this is sour."
I’m curious, if Wuling’s thunder passes, will the next trend be tricycles?
A new message popped up in the official game group of "Crossout". Several players were discussing "Wuling" and "Autumn Mountain". Other unknown people threw out a mysterious QQ group number and disappeared without a trace.
After entering these groups, I realized that the "Wuling Convoy" and "Wuling Chariot" were essentially just normal novice groups. From time to time, players in the group would ask: "Is Wuling strong? How can I make Wuling?" If I’m lucky, some people will get an answer, and many will fall into the sea.
I couldn’t find Wuling Car God here, so I quit those groups and turned off my computer.
That horse boy may indeed be the Wuling Car God I am looking for.
I finally realized this. It’s just that he is no longer as interesting and desirable as described in the story.
It is better to approach the game in a familiar and intimate way than to have a cold face throughout the process
On the contrary, these newcomers who are attracted to the game by Wuling Hongguang are very likely to create a story of their own.
When an era fades, a new era will surely take its place, and the old era will never come again. Every ordinary and ordinary you and I may become a legend in the virtual world of the game, and then be exaggerated and sung through the mouths and pens of others.
There were only a few people who knew the truth, but what did it matter if it was true or false? A name or ID in the game could be you or him. In the end, it was just a pile of data and a memory fragment that was about to be forgotten.
I still don’t know what happened during the period when this game changed from a cold wasteland apocalypse to a teasing Wuling Hongguang. But I seem to have found the legendary Wuling car god, but I can’t be sure if it is him. If it is him, why did the protagonist in the story leave so early? But if it wasn’t him, the "horse-eyed panic" and the hundred people who once struggled in the outer clothes did exist.
However, compared to the unreachable chariot, Wuling Hongguang’s image seems to be more lovely. At least when I’m chatting with my friends, I don’t have to say "Crossout" will start tomorrow, but only say: See you tomorrow in the famous autumn mountains.
As for who is the real old driver, where is Qiumingshan? Who cares?

The new energy automobile industry has always been a topic of conversation. From the initial Tesla dominating the market to the entry of major traditional car companies, the market competition has become increasingly fierce. And car owners are paying more and more attention to the rationality of the value and price of the vehicle itself in the purchase of cars. Recently, some netizens posted an invoice for the purchase of Changan Mazda EZ-6, which once again attracted widespread attention. The invoice shows that the model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. Many people believe that EZ-6, as Changan Mazda’s first new energy product and the only model that provides range-extending power in the joint venture B-class sedan market, is mostly true.
According to the pictures released, the invoice date for this car purchase is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Normally, when a new car is launched, the car company has a complete time advancement process. For a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it is not surprising that China and Japan need to make joint decisions and agree on the price 2 months in advance. Therefore, from this point of view, it is reasonable that the invoice issuance time does not match the actual pre-sale time. In addition, although sensitive information such as the invoice code is coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., the invoice is not fake. It is likely that it is internally leaked, and the invoice itself is very reliable. Since the invoice may be genuine, the price of the product shown in the invoice is most likely the true price of the EZ-6.
In fact, since the Changan Mazda EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become the hottest car in the joint venture new energy field. The reason why it has attracted widespread attention both inside and outside the industry is that its design stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field, and on the other hand, the EZ-6 is the only model in the joint venture B-class car market that provides extended range power options, making up for the gap in the joint venture new energy field.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, the wheelbase is 2895mm, and it adopts a frameless door and hatchback design. Although the shape is more new and energy-oriented, the through-type tail lights and four round gun downlights on both sides can still see the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements. In addition, in terms of power, from the current exposure information, the EZ-6 has two forms of pure electric and extended range, and adopts a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, and the extended range version models use the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same. In terms of battery life, according to the capacity of the battery pack, the range of pure electric models is 480km and 600km respectively. The extended range vehicle can be charged once, and a tank of oil can achieve a long battery life of over 1300km.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is also quite eye-catching, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating central control screen with full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display, 360-degree panoramic image, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other high-end configurations, as well as rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, zero-gravity seats, etc.
Only from the known information, EZ-6 in terms of configuration has left behind the same level of joint venture models a lot of distance. Moreover, as a joint venture pure electric intermediate car, compared with the same level of Tesla Model 3, BMW i3’s price of about 300,000, Volkswagen ID7’s starting price of 227,700 yuan, EZ-6 pure electric version is only 221,800 yuan, which looks very reasonable. This price positioning undoubtedly breaks the original pattern of the market and provides consumers with a more cost-effective choice.
According to Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, it is expected that the final price of the EZ-6 will fall between 18 and 240,000. If the pre-sale brings some awesome policies, such as large discounts or more gifts, then the joint venture new energy models on the market will face tremendous pressure. It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and officially go on sale at the end of October. Everything is waiting for the answer to be revealed.
In general, if the price of Changan Mazda EZ-6 is really 221,800 yuan, it will have a big impact on the market. It not only gives a satisfactory answer in terms of configuration and battery life, but also shows a very high cost performance in terms of price. All this will make EZ-6 the focus of the joint venture new energy market in the future.
As the pre-sale and launch date approaches, more information about the Changan Mazda EZ-6 will be revealed one after another. At that time, let’s wait and see if this highly anticipated new energy sedan is true to the rumors. If you have any opinions or questions about this series of topics, you may wish to share your views in the comment area. We will continue to follow and report for you.
The three-fold screen mobile phone still has many challenges: the three-fold screen achieved by folding inside and outside must first solve the flatness of the two different directions of the folding support, as well as the reliability problem after long-term use, which is undoubtedly the biggest challenge for its shaft structure at present.
