Oppo with a completely frameless screen
Curved smartphone screens are undoubtedly very nice and look interesting, but they also have their disadvantages, such as low resistance to falls or expensive replacement of such screens. Therefore, the pioneer who popularized the appearance of such displays, Samsung, is already slowly starting to move away from such a solution. On the other hand, there are Chinese manufacturers, such as Xiaomi or Oppo. The latter has just patented a new smartphone, the display of which has no frames.
Total framelessness is associated, for example, with the introduction of the camera under the screen. This is what the patent that hit the network shows.
We don’t know if it’s a completely new smartphone, however LetsGoDigital informs that the patent may be related to the latest flagship, Oppo Find X3 5G. The patent shows that the screen is curved and occupies both sides of the device. This is due to the fact that there is no place in it, for example, for a lock button or volume control. These are to be placed on the back, near the end of the display curvature on both sides.
