Today, Xiaomi officially announced the world’s first concept smartphone with a four-sided curved waterfall screen. It features a four-sided 88° ultra-curved design, with almost all bezels replaced by the screen, giving it an extremely stunning appearance.
Lei Jun also introduced this concept phone on WeChat and mentioned that a holeless design is the future direction for smartphones.
Lei Jun said that the screen is one of Xiaomi’s core strategies for mobile phones and that the company has officially launched a concept phone with a four-curved waterfall screen. The 88° super-curved screen design on all sides allows the picture to flow around like water, like a crystal drop on the table.
The screen almost replaces all the bezels, with no openings or buttons on the body, which achieves an integrated design.
Lei Jun said that the shape of future smartphones depends on the shape of the screen. Thanks to the breakthrough of the quad-curved waterfall screen, there is a new direction for the integrated and poreless design of future phones.
For the industry’s first four-curved waterfall screen, a bendable and flexible screen is essential, but the real challenge lies in manufacturing 88° four-curved glass and the 3D bonding process. The 88° deep-curved four-curved glass breaks the technological limit of glass production.
In terms of display technology, Xiaomi’s smartphones, such as the Xiaomi MIX and MIX Alpha, represent the greatest revolution we’ve ever seen.
In December 2020, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 11 smartphone. The device features a 2K resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and its color accuracy is comparable to that of professional monitors. The screen also received an A+ rating from DisplayMate and set 13 records for the best display.
