Smartphone makers are coming up with new
designs to make their devices stand out from the crowd. While some designs are
meant for better user experience, some are just concepts to showcase the
company’s capabilities.
One of the most unique smartphone design
was unveiled by Xiaomi last year in the form of the Mi MIX Alpha concept
smartphone. Now, Huawei has also patented a smartphone design with a similar
design of the wrap-around display, reports LetsGoDigital.
The phone showcased in the patent
application seems similar to the Huawei Mate X but instead of being a foldable
smartphone, it features a wrap-around display that extends from the front-side
to the back. However, unlike the front panel, the back of the phone is not
entirely covered with the display. The display panel on the back accounts for
60-70 percent of the space while the remaining is used for the triple-camera
setup.
Huawei has been one of the leading
smartphone brands when it comes to innovation. It was among the first to launch
a commercial foldable smartphone and is reportedly working on its successor,
which could go official this year.
But given the current situation of Huawei
not being able to procure necessary components because of the U.S. sanctions,
it remains to be seen if the Chinese giant actually plans to start working on
this wrap-around display smartphone.
