The trend is unstoppable. Manufacturers want to launch their own terminal without frames, but without real frames and, if possible, without a notch that follows in the wake of other recent terminals such as the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 or the Honor Magic 2. In the leaked renders that show The design of this supposed new Huawei terminal without frames we can see how, indeed, the screen is lengthened as much as possible until almost touching the end of the panel, except for the upper part where we can see a visible strip. This remarkable strip would turn this terminal into a mobile destined to occupy the mid-range sector of the catalog.
And where do we place the front camera, then, not finding a trace of notch or snotch in the design? No, it will not be a retractable device as we have seen in the Vivo Nex or the very recent Oppo F11 Pro, but rather a curious sliding system that will leave the pair of camera sensors exposed or hidden as shown in the following renders.
As can be seen, in the style of shell mobiles, one of the parts of the phone can slide upwards revealing the double camera sensor, which, however, some point out that it could rise to three. In the center of the two sensors would be the LED flash. The terminal speaker would be integrated into the narrower bezel that occupies the upper part of the terminal. There are no appreciable signs of a fingerprint sensor so it could be located under the screen, a technology that many brands are integrating into their flagships. Another possibility is that the fingerprint sensor is located right on the power button.
It is undeniable that a mobile with a good screen, located on a panel in which there are hardly any visible frames, is a very attractive item for the user. Especially for those who find on their mobile the main screen on which to consume online content. Therefore, the immersive experience is highly valued. Huawei, seen what has been seen in this patent, will try to gain a foothold in the novel field of the frameless screen. Will the play be successful?
