Hisense could create wraparound display phone: report

Hisense could soon be launching a new handset with a wraparound screen, if a report is to be believed. The Chinese electronics brand has reportedly filed a new smartphone patent with a unique design. A square design with narrow borders on three sides and a straight screen design on the front is proposed. The patent proposes a design similar to Xiaomi’s Mi Mix Alpha with no cutouts. The upcoming Hisense smartphone could feature quad rear cameras. Three reversing camera sensors arranged vertically on the side can be seen.

According to a report from Gizmochina, Hisense has published a new smartphone patent with a unique design that includes a wraparound display. The renders provided suggest a square shaped handset with a straight screen design on the front. It appears to have narrow borders on three sides. It can be seen without holes. The overall look of the smartphone is similar to that of Mi Mix Alpha.

The Hisense handset could come with a quad rear camera setup. Three cameras are said to be arranged vertically, while the periscope telephoto lens could be placed laterally. The handset reportedly packs a single camera on the side of the fuselage. According to the report, Hisense can use flexible OLED materials for the new handset.

The Mi Mix Alpha was revealed as early as 2019 as a concept design with a price tag of CNY 19,999 (approx. Rs. 2,00,000). Therefore, the upcoming Hisense smartphone could come with a hefty price tag.

Xiaomi’s Mi Mix Alpha features a flexible 7.92-inch OLED screen. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage. It has a triple rear camera consisting of a 108-megapixel camera with a Samsung HMX sensor, a 20-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 12-megapixel camera. It’s backed by a 4,050mAh battery with support for 40W fast charging.
