Meizu Patents In-Display Camera, Takes Bezel-Less Displays to the Next Level

Mar. 3, 2018

Bezel-less displays are all the rage right now. What started with Xiaomi’sMi Mixhas now became a trend. WhileAppleandEssential‘s notch design seems to be something manufacturersAsus,Huawei, andLGare aping, there are others trying to bring on some originality. Recently, Vivo showed-off theirApexphone with a retracting selfie camera, which was widely praised for having a bezel-less display without a notch. Now, it seems like another Chinese company might be looking to get some praises for the same.

Renowned leakerSlashleakshas reported thatMeizu has secured a patent pertaining to a full-screen smartphone design that features the main camera module hidden behind the display.According to him, Meizu will use a graphene glass display which, thanks to its transparent nature, would permit light to travel through and hit the hidden camera sensor.Leaked Renders of the Meizu 15 Plus, displaying a “full-screen” bezel-less display

Beebom’s Take

Personally, I genuinely appreciate the way companies such as Vivo and Meizu are taking part in the bezel-less scene. It is no doubt that bezel-less displays are great to look at, but the idea of implementing a notch everywhere is kind of stupid. Competition comes from choices, not from copying. If the Meizu 15 Plus is actually the device in talk with regards to the above patents, I, for one, am definitely excited for it, for this is one design that actually appeals to me.

Well, that is what I think of it. But what about you? Do you prefer smartphones with a notch, or would you like to see Meizu’s full-screen bezel-less display in action? Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.

This isn’t an interview! Why am I being asked to tell you about myself? :P Well, if you really wanna know, I’m currently trending worldwide on #BeingMirchi. Buy me a beer if you like my work. Cheers!
