the Huawei patent reported this time was issued by Huawei technologies co., ltd. In May 22, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. applied for a design patent in China National Intellectual Property Administration, China, involving 7 product drafts and 2 renderings, which was released on January 12. Announced in 221. In Huawei's patented picture, the screen of the mobile phone is designed with four curved surfaces, and the front mirror is hidden under the screen. The most surprising thing is that in order to maximize the full-screen display, Huawei actually added an auxiliary screen design in the ultra-narrow bezel at the top of the mobile phone, so that users can see the signal, time and battery of the traditional mobile phone passing through the baffle.
in addition, according to the sketch of the mobile phone released by Huawei, the rear lens module of the new mobile phone adopts a matrix four-camera solution similar to Mate2 series, which is highly recognizable from the side. It is obviously equipped with a super outsole main camera or a 12X periscope, but Huawei did not disclose the model of this phone and when it will be released. Of course, if such technology is adopted, the outsole four shots, frame sub-screen and off-screen camera must be Huawei's P series or Mate series flagship products. It is impossible for other models to enjoy this kind of treatment. It is also possible to boldly guess that the P5 series mobile phones released in the first half of this year may adopt these technologies.
Other manufacturers besides Huawei are also deploying off-screen camera phones, and Samsung, Xiaomi and OPPO all have related patents. According to the news from the upper end of the mobile phone supply chain, Xiaomi /Redmi will probably release its first mobile phone equipped with an off-screen camera in Q1 this year, and other brands will also launch several mobile phones equipped with this technology in the first half of this year. However, because it is a test product, the stock is not enough, and the real maturity of the off-screen camera technology will wait until the second half of this year to the beginning of next year. Of course, friends who like digital technology can snap up an off-screen camera phone in the first half of the year, buy early and enjoy early.
