The new concept phone has a ‘quad-curved waterfall display‘: A screen that curves around all four edges except the corners. This allows a phone without connection ports or buttons on the sides, Xiaomi says, currently the number 3 in the global smartphone market.
Xiaomi wants to replace the functions of buttons and ports in the phone with wireless charging, pressure-sensitive sensors and a e.g. The selfie camera is also processed under the screen. The Chinese company calls this ‘a visionary but intuitive device’.

Polishing glass
According to Xiaomi, the curved edges of the glass screen require all kinds of new techniques to polish the glass.
When such a phone with a ‘quad-curved waterfall display’ will be on the market, the company has not yet said.
Also portless iPhone?
Several phone manufacturers are working on smartphones that seem to consist almost only of a screen and that no longer have buttons and ports. Apple would also be working on one portless iPhone. Rumor has it that the ‘iPhone 13‘from later this year could already be gateless.
