Germany launched Carbon fiber smart phone Carbon1

Berlin-based German company Carbon Mobile has unveiled a new smartphone, the Carbon 1 MK II, which is the industry's first carbon fiber android phone. The Carbon 1 MK II has a 6.0-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2160x1080.

But using carbon fiber, the phone is only 6.3mm thick and weighs just 125g.

For comparison, the 3.5-inch iPhone 4 weighs 140g and the 5.15-inch mi 6 weighs 168g. Today's phones with screens of more than 6 inches generally weigh more than 200 grams. The Carbon 1 MK II will go on sale this summer for 800 euros.

Performance characteristics of carbon fiber materials

  The "carbon fiber" we often say is actually the abbreviation of "carbon fiber reinforced composite material", is a kind of carbon content in more than 95% of the high strength, high modulus of the fiber of the new fiber material.(if the carbon content is higher than 99%, we generally call it graphite fiber)

   Its tensile strength is about 10 times that of steel, which is bulletproof! And the density is only half of the aluminum alloy, the same size and volume than we are familiar with the aluminum alloy is half-light. It has excellent resistance to ultra-high temperature in a non-oxidized environment and good fatigue resistance. It is also highly resistant to various acidic and alkaline substances. In addition, it has good electrical and thermal conductivity, which makes it very competitive in the industrial field.

Is it a virtual head or a new mobile phone trend?

    This isn't the first time carbon fiber has been used in electronics. Before that, many top-of-the-line laptops, such as the alien Alienware area-51m, had carbon fiber shells. High-performance computers typically have multiple cores, and heat dissipation has been a big problem. Carbon fiber's good thermal conductivity adds a lot to the computer's cooling system. But as long as there are carbon fiber notes, there is no less than five figures, the price is not the average consumer can consume.

    In terms of safety, it is not only the high strength to improve the anti-collision ability, but also the light weight of the body can make the center of gravity of the whole vehicle move down, improve the vehicle handling stability, and the operation of the vehicle will be more safe and stable.

But as long as there are carbon fiber notes, there are no less than five figures, the price is not the average consumer can consume. And in the automotive field, many top sports cars, will also use carbon fiber as the body shell material. When carbon fiber is applied to automobiles, the most obvious benefit to automobile manufacturing is the lightweight of the automobile, and the most direct impact is the improvement of energy-saving, acceleration, and braking performance. Generally speaking, vehicle weight is reduced by 10%, fuel consumption is reduced by 6%-8%, emissions are reduced by 5-6%, acceleration performance is improved by 8-10% from 0-100km/h, and braking distance is shortened by 2-7m.

     However, the problem of heat dissipation is not difficult for mobile phones. The CPU of mobile phones is not a high-power processor, and the heating of mobile phones is usually the result of the mobile phones working under high load for a long time, such as playing games for a long time. Daily use of Weibo, the message, etc., will not appear a hot mobile phone. And carbon fiber material itself is expensive, its high-temperature resistance, high strength material characteristics determine its process cost is also very high. If carbon fiber is used to solve the heat dissipation problem, it is by no means the best way.

     As for carbon fiber to make the phone stronger, is it going to be used to crack walnuts? Or are you going to fight with it?
