Elephone is joining the fray of manufacturers with
phones with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The other exciting part is that, the new
device will also be taking on the Xiaomi Mi MIX with its bezel-less design.
LG kicked off the 18:9 aspect ratio with its LG G6‘
Full Vision Display. Samsung followed with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ which
both have an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. While all three phones have shaved off a
large part of their bezels, they still can’t match that of this new device
Elephone is working on.
It is important to note that this device is still a
prototype, so there is no info on when it will launch and how much it will
cost. There are also no specification details available. One thing you’d notice
from the images is that there doesn’t seem to be a front camera, not even on
the lower bezel like in the Mi MIX. But if you take a look at the rear camera,
it’s designed in such a way that it can be raised up.
The phone also doesn’t seem to have a fingerprint
scanner on the back or up in front, so it’s likely that it’s embedded under the
display.
