Recently, the "big mouth" Yu Chengdong once again started a "war of words" with his friends. And this time, the object is Xiaomi.
At the 2023 Huawei Pollen Annual Meeting, when talking about the hot stalk of "far ahead", Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei terminals, suddenly opened fire on his friends, pointing out that the other party did not respect Huawei's intellectual property rights, "directly plagiarized, and after plagiarism, it became his own name".
He further gave an example that the dual-spin waterdrop hinge technology of Huawei's folding screen mobile phone was changed to a keel hinge by a friend, and complained that "the keel does not exist". This irony, although it is not directly named, but anyone who knows a little about mobile phones can guess who he is talking about.
It is reported that the dual-spin waterdrop hinge technology is a folding screen mobile phone technology launched by Huawei, which was first installed on the Mate X2 released in 2021, and is considered by the outside world to be "the first time that it has truly achieved seamless folding". And the name of the most advanced hinge technology used by Xiaomi for the first time on the flagship folding screen mobile phone Xiaomi MIX Fold3 released in August 2023 is called "keel hinge".
This statement made Xiaomi very unhappy. On December 12, the "Xiaomi spokesperson" issued a statement on the official Weibo to fight back. Xiaomi said that recently, Mr. Yu Chengdong made untrue remarks about our company's keel hinge technology, which is seriously inconsistent with the facts. Whether it is the design idea or the mechanical structure, Xiaomi's self-developed keel hinge is completely different from the so-called "double-spin waterdrop hinge" announced by Yu Chengdong.
In the statement, Xiaomi not only counted the differences between the two in terms of design solutions, but also listed the time when they applied for patents and obtained patent authorizations to prove that they did not plagiarize. In conclusion, Xiaomi also said that we ask Mr. Yu Chengdong to follow the basic rules of "science and rigor", and do not smear his peers and mislead the public.
