Xiaomi’s Mi MIX series is known for its bezel-less design. Unfortunately, the company has not released a new model in a very long time. However, it has patented a wide variety of devices with full-screen design in the past few months. Now, yet another new design emerges with a unique slider display implementation. Xiaomi’s latest smartphone patent seemingly puts a spin on the sliding smartphone concept by adding a flexible wraparound display.
As per the publication, Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software filed this patent with the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office) and the USPTO (The United States Patent and Trademark Office). It got approved and published on October 29, 2020.
This design includes a slider display similar to the Mi MIX 3 5G. But unlike that
phone, this handset’s display covers the front and runs along the bottom side
up until half of its back.
Hence, the only
places without a screen on this design are the top, sides, and the top portion
of the rear panel. This design is somewhat similar to the Xiaomi AI Super
Camera smartphone patent from last year but with a magnetic slider.
Since this
design’s display continues from the front to the back from the bottom side, it
uses a roller mechanism inside the slider to slide down the front panel to
reveal the selfie camera, an ambient light sensor, a distance sensor, a dot
projector, and the receiver. This slider can also be moved by voice command.
Lastly,
the renders included in this article are created by an industrial designer
called Sarang Sheth, in
collaboration with LetsGoDigtial. Also, it is worth noting that the rear camera
setup from the Mi 10T Pro is
just for reference.
