Smartphone makers are trying to come up with new and unique designs or features to stand apart from the crowd. Recently, foldable smartphones became mainstream and we have also seen devices with more than one display.
Now, the popular leakster ‘Digital Chat Station’ claims that there will be at least two smartphones getting launched this year which will feature a secondary display on the phone’s back panel.
Recently, Xiaomi’s upcoming Mi 11 Ultra was leaked online and the image revealed that there is a smaller secondary screen beside the camera sensors on the phone’s back panel, housed inside the horizontal rectangular slab.
We’ve seen a few smartphones in the past that feature a small secondary screen that showcases information such as notifications, time, weather, etc. A few years ago, Meizu had launched its Meizu Pro 7 that had a secondary screen on the back panel, along with the camera module.
It will be interesting to see what Xiaomi has planned for the secondary screen on the upcoming Mi 11 Ultra smartphone. It also remains to be seen if any other smartphone brand follows with similar offerings. The Mi 11 Ultra is expected to get launched next year, so we’ll have to wait a few more weeks to know more about it.
Last year, Huawei had also patented a smartphone design that features a secondary screen on the phone’s back, along with the camera module. But it is not yet known if the company has any plans of making such a smartphone anytime soon.
