Many of us know Hisense from their smart TVs, but the company has also been maintaining its presence in the smartphone market for some time. They primarily focus on entry-level and mid-range models, which allows them to cater to a broader user base and gain market share in the highly competitive market. Hisense‘s latest patent application could potentially signal the arrival of a flagship model. Here are the details…
Hisense Dual-Screen Smartphone Design Patent Authorized, Allowing Simultaneous Display on Front and Rear Screens
Hisense has recently been granted a patent for a dual-screen smartphone that allows users to view content on both front and rear screens simultaneously. The patent transforms the phone’s back cover into a functional display. Notably, this design does not follow the foldable screen approach. Therefore, we do not have a clear idea of how exactly it will be used. In the past, we have seen a few models that managed to fit a screen on the rear panel. However, these phones were not very functional and did not reach a wide audience.
One concern that arises with such phones is durability. As you may know, even today’s phones are quite delicate and expensive to repair when broken. For example, when the back glass of an iPhone breaks, you may have to pay hundreds of dollars. The situation is similar for premium models on the Android side. Therefore, a phone with screens on both sides might deter users who do not want to face issues. Especially when considering that a protective case cannot be used to increase the level of protection.
Nevertheless, everything we have mentioned is speculation, and we have no choice but to wait for Hisense‘s official announcements to really discuss the topic. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no information on whether the patented design will be featured in Hisense’s future mobile phone lineup. However, the patent approval demonstrates Hisense’s dedication to exploring new frontiers in mobile technology and their ambition to deliver cutting-edge products to the market.
