Xiaomi introduces new concept phone with four waterfall parachutes, no buttons, notches or ports

When Xiaomi first showed off its Mi Mix concept in 2016 with a thin edge. It became a kind of template for phone manufacturers who wanted to make phones with smaller edges. But the Mi Mix concept was about more than the incredible (ahead of time) 91.3% screen-to-body ratio. It was housed in ceramic, and the piezoelectric speakers generated sound from the metal frame of the handset. Xiaomi designers moved and removed the sensors on the top of a phone so that the rings could be reduced in size.

Now, Xiaomi has another concept phone to introduce to the world. Using its “square waterfall screen” (with 88 degree curves on the left and right), this handset has no rings, no port and no buttons. With 46 of its own patents used in the design of the device, Xiaomi declares that almost all the sides of the phone are covered by the screen. The company explained the production of 88-degree glass: “The 88 ° ultra-square glass has virtually broken through the technological limits of glass production. Compared to ordinary curved glass, the difficulty of hot bending increases exponentially. Of such a hyper “Curved glass with a deep bending of 88 ° on four sides, you need self-developed glass processing equipment, hot bending under 800 ° C high temperature and pressure, four different polishing tools and up to more than ten complicated polishing procedures.”

Xiaomi has also taken note of some of the latest technologies that have worked in the creation of this concept phone. Solutions such as ultra-thin piezoelectric ceramics, a first flexible film-acoustic technology, third-generation cameras under the screen, wireless charging, eSIM chips, pressure-sensitive touch sensors, and more – seamlessly integrated and form a visionary dog intuitive device. “
