A new Huawei patent has just been spotted, which might be for the next gen flagship Mate 50 smartphone. The patented device sports an ‘Arc screen’ with an under display selfie camera.
According to the LetsGoDigital report, the Chinese tech giant had filed a new patent with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office). Looking at the patent, the smartphone features a curved display that covers the entire front side of the device along with both of its sides. Notably, the Mate 40 Pro last year featured an 88 degree edge to edge display with side touch functionality. Now, it seems that the company might be working on further iterating on this display technology.
As per the patent, the new futuristic smartphone sports an ‘Arc Display,’ which is its most highlighting feature. Furthermore, the screen also curves and reaches till the rear side of the device while the sides offer various touch based functionality as well since there are no side buttons. These functions include the volume rockers along with message notifications that pop up on the side display. Although some of these features are already present in existing Huawei smartphones, the company places an emphasis on the side display functions even more and would likely include new features as well.
Interestingly, Technizo Concept also made a render based on this patent, which showcases the device in a 3D model. A major aspect of the device is that there is no selfie camera visible on the front, which implies that the brand is likely working on offering an under display camera solution. Keep in mind that this is still just a patent and we have no way of knowing whether this is actually the Mate 50 or just the company’s attempt at covering all bases. So stay tuned for more updates.
