Honor, the company which became independent from Huawei last year, has resumed launching smartphones in the market, that too in the flgahip and premium segment. Now, similar to other Chinese manufacturers, Honor has ambitious plans for its smartphones and has already patented new designs.

A new patent from Honor reveals that the company might be working on a rollable smartphone with a wrap-around screen. The images shared along with the patent application shows a narrow phone with a large wrap-around screen which covers the entire front and the back. Interestingly, there’s no front-facing camera visible of the device.

Honor Rollable Smartphone with Wrap-around Display

On the back, there’s a small vertical frame where the display parts come together and from where the screen is rolled out towards the front. Given that it has a wrap-around screen, the power button has been moved to the top. The vertical frame on the backpanel features a quad-camera setup with an LED flash. The system seems to be inspired from the Huawei Mate X foldable smartphone.

When the screen is fully rolled out, it will have a tablet-sized screen and likely to measure around 11-inch. This is similar to the Huawei Mate rollable smartphone that was reported a few weeks ago.

However, before launching a smartphone with rollable camera, the company is planning to launch a foldable smartphone. It has already registered model names Honor Magic Flip and Honor Magic Fold. Honor CEO George Zhao hs said that when the company launches its foldable smartphone, it’ll be the best in the market.

OPPO has already revealed its OPPO X 2021 Rollable Concept Smartphone that uses a rollable OLED panel allowing the display to extend from 6.7 inches to 7.4 inches. However, the device isn’t available commercially. On the other hand, Xiaomi had launched Mi MIX Alpha smartphone last year with a wrap-around screen.
