Xiaomi has unveiled its Quad-Curved Waterfall Display Concept smartphone. The smartphone takes a different approach to a curved display as it is not just limited to the sides but at the top and bottom too. In the media release, Xiaomi says that the “revolutionary hyper quad-curved 88-degree surface” was not easy to make as the glass was made using hot-bending glass at a temperature as high as 800-degree Celsius to achieve the form factor.
Through its official Twitter handle, the Chinese tech giant shared an image poster revealing this concept device. Looking at this device, it can be observed that all four edges of the device are curved around the side of the device at an angle of 88 degrees. While curved edges aren’t something new in the industry, having all four edges being curved has never been seen before. In other words, the company’s first Quad Curved Waterfall Display Concept Smartphone is truly a unique handset that also signifies its emphasis on ‘innovation’. From the front, the device would seem to be mostly covered by the display, except the corners.
The unibody design of the smartphone with a curved display on all sides means that it is a port-free device. Not just wireless-charging but the concept smartphone may also include support for Xiaomi recently unveiled ‘Mi Air Charge technology’ which can charge the smartphone at 5W from a distance using unique hardware. The concept smartphone has an under-display camera to avoid any cutouts even though the technology is yet to be seen on a commercial smartphone from the company yet. Also, it has an eSIM, pressure-sensitive touch sensors, and built-in speakers inside “flexible film display acoustic technology”.
Beijing, Feb 5 (IANS) Global technology leader Xiaomi, on Friday officially introduced its first quad-curved waterfall screen concept smartphone on all four edges, which means there will be no port or buttons on any side of the device. Xiaomi said the aim is to “extend the limits of the display to infinity” and enable “a true, port-free unibody design.”
Almost the entire frame of the smartphone is covered by a screen, while its body carries no ports or buttons, bringing forward the futuristic unibody no-port design.“WithXiaomi’s breakthroughs in quad-curved waterfall displays, new possibilities are forged and critical advances are made towards the goal of a truly port-free unibody smartphone,” the company said in a statement.
The 88-degree ultra quad-curved glass has virtually broken through the technological limits of glass production, it added. Polishing a piece of such hyper-curved glass with a deep 88-degree bend on four sides requires self-developed glass processing equipment, hot bending under 800 degree Celsius high temperature and pressure, four different polishing tools, and up to more than ten complex polishing procedures.
“This revolutionary design ensures that almost all sides of the phone are covered by the display,” the company said. Xiaomi last month introduced a brand-new form of charging called Mi Air Charge Technology that can charge devices “within a radius of several meters.” All these concept products which Xiaomi is releasing show that the company promises to make bring the future to us.
