The Chinese manufacturers are really pushing innovation in the smartphone industry. Ever since Xiaomi experimented with a near-bezel-less design on the Mi Mix, OEMs have continued to intensify efforts to further cut down on the degree of bezels available on smartphones. However, none is yet able to achieve a totally bezel-less smartphone but DOOGEE seems to have achieved that in its upcoming DOOGEE Mix 4.

DOOGEE Mix 4 first popped up online in some leaked renders a couple of months back which showed it will adopt a bezel-less design. That has now been confirmed by the hands-on/unboxing video of the Mix 4 which was spotted on the YouTube channel Mrwhosetheboss. No, the DOOGEE Mix 4 is yet to be launched and the YouTuber indicated that this is a prototype copy apparently sent by DOOGEE in its bid to commence promotional activities for the device before mass production is achieved.

The DOOGEE Mix 4 features a 5.99-inch AMOLED display and basically no bezel around the entire display.  Well, that isn’t entirely correct. There are tiny bezels running around the display but it has a 97% screen ratio which is pretty high. DOOGEE had to sacrifice the front camera in order to achieve this awesome design.Thus, the device utilises a slide design whereby the display slides down exposing the selfie camera behind. The device seems to pack a dual selfie camera setup. At the back, there is a dual camera setup arranged vertically with a LED flash beneath the cameras. The Mix 4 also packs the in-display fingerprint sensor and the capacitive volume rockers, as well as the power button, is located on the right side.

We are yet to lay our hands on the full specifications of the Mix 4 but that will not be too far away from us. With this design, we expect a flagship-grade hardware, the likes of Snapdragon 660 or Helio P60 at the helm of affairs. We’ll bring you more details as they unravel.For now, check out the DOOGEE Mix 4 cute design in the unboxing video below.

Different manufacturers have embraced various designs for their full-screen smartphones. However, none of them have achieved a totally bezel-less and notch-free design except for Doogee with its Mix 4.

A few months ago, Doogee showed off a 3D demo for a completely bezel-less smartphone. All-screen, no notch, no single bezel, no reduced bezels. The usual arrangement of sensors, front camera, and earpiece were also absent or rather tucked away.

Doogee came to the conclusion that the only way to achieve a totally bezel-less phone was to give it a slide design much similar to the Nokia N95 from over a decade ago. Slide the phone downwards and it revealed the sensor, earpiece and front camera. Pretty neat, right?

Live photos posted on Twitter yesterday gave us our first look at the phone which is no longer just a design but now a real product. The pictures were shared by @VenyaGeskin1 and he says it is the Doogee Mix 4.

The Doogee Mix 4 has an aluminium body and even has a slim profile. Thickness was one of the things we were worried about when we first saw Doogee’s design. It also has dual rear cameras arranged vertically with a LED flash beneath the setup. However, it is missing the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner we saw in the demo. Our guess is that it is now embedded in the display.

There are no specification details yet and we are not surprised there is no launch date too. Its predecessor, the Doogee Mix 3 is not yet released, so it is understandable.

What do you think of Doogee’s design? Should other manufacturers embrace a slide mechanism too? Let’s know what you think.
