Xiaomi presented another concept smartphone. Not much is known about it, since the main thing in it, as in the Mi Mix Alpha shown more than a year ago, is the screen.
Xiaomi showed a smartphone with a screen in 180% of the front panel

Despite the fact that the largest manufacturers are abandoning “waterfalls”, and some, like Apple, even stop making smartphones with curved glass, Xiaomi continues to bend its line. That is, screens. The conceptual novelty received a screen curved on all four sides:

The screen seems to fit on the edge at an angle of 88 °. It looks impressive. But, I suppose, it’s beautiful only on renders, but in reality everything collapses. In real life, you will see what the picture turns into on the screen: the screen is usually green at the bends, and the image on it is difficult to digest. It is worth taking the smartphone in hand – phantom clicks will immediately follow. And they, apparently, cannot be avoided, since the edges of such a device should be functional – a smartphone has no buttons. That is, all controls should be touch-sensitive.
Instead of the usual speaker, there is a bone conduction speaker. Instead of wired charging – wireless. The front camera is hidden under the screen. Instead of the usual SIM-card, only eSIM.
Xiaomi claims that 46 technologies were patented during the development of this device, without specifying what those technologies are.
By the way, the curved glass on all four sides has already been implemented by Huawei. This is how it looks on the P40 Pro:
This option is more working: the bottom edge does not cause discomfort to your finger, and with your palm, you, like other Russian-speaking users of Chinese smartphones, do not accidentally hack very important websites of US government agencies – there are simply no phantom clicks.
By the way, even on Xiaomi Mi 11, the screen is almost flat, and the curved glass here is more likely to be glass. Therefore, it is not clear why the company showed this concept at all.
Thing of the day: the very beautiful Xiaomi Mi 11

And the last thing: “curved on four sides” does not mean at all that the corners will also be screened. Take a look at the lightened render:
And now, even from the outside, such a screen cannot be called beautiful.
The nearest premiere of Xiaomi will take place on February 8. It will show the Xiaomi Mi 11 series. Insiders suggest that in addition to the Mi 11 already shown in China, they will present the Lite and Pro versions of the smartphone.
