Samsung mobile phone new appearance patent: four-curved waterfall screen+off-screen camera, are you looking forward to it?

In fact, you don't have to expect too much about the design of the four-curved waterfall screen of Samsung mobile phone. In recent years, with the rapid development of smart phones, mobile phone screens have begun to take on various forms. After folding screen and double-sided screen, curved screen became popular again. In order to be more innovative and artistic, the curved screen extends four sides. Although the design is more beautiful, each design method has its shortcomings. Not long ago, Huawei applied a four-sided design in the newly released p40 mobile phone, but the measured results were not satisfactory.

What are the characteristics of Samsung's four-curved waterfall screen? As can be seen from the patent map of the appearance of the mobile phone exposed by Samsung, the design of the four curved surfaces really makes the mobile phone look more rounded. The borderless design can also make users experience better visual effects, and at the same time make users feel more comfortable when holding it. The appearance is very similar to the p40 series recently released by Huawei, but Huawei officially calls it a four-curved overflow screen, but Huawei's curved surface ratio is relatively small, while Samsung's curved surface ratio has increased a lot.

The design of four curved surfaces makes the front of the fuselage have no holes, and the modules such as camera and earpiece are hidden under the screen, so they can only rely on sensors for various operations. It can be said that this design method is very advanced.

What are the disadvantages of four-curved screen design? Although the design of four-curved screen is more futuristic and can make people experience better visual effects, this design technology is not mature. The coverage of the screen extends to the left and right sides, and may even cover the top and bottom in the future, but this design increases the risk of scratching the screen, and everyone should know that the screen is very fragile. Not long ago, the mobile phone screen designed by Huawei P series is easy to be damaged under the real drop test, so I believe that the hardness of Samsung mobile phone screen will not be much stronger than Huawei, and the maintenance cost of broken mobile phone screen will certainly not be cheap, let alone a well-known brand like Samsung mobile phone, so I don't expect much from the design of Samsung mobile phone screen.
