Earlier today (19th February 2021), a tipster on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, shared an image that revealed the possible design of an upcoming Honor MagicBook, which will feature a new overhauled design.

According to the blogger @鹏鹏君驾到, the Chinese tech giant is working on a newly designed MagicBook. This notebook will feature a display that is surrounded by thin bezels on three sides. The chin region of the display will carry the company’s logo while the power button will be housed on the top right corner of the bottom half. Notably, the design sketches also revealed that the camera has now been shifted to the top center region of the keyboard.

Unfortunately, finer details regarding this laptop is currently unknown. Furthermore, it is also not confirmed if honor is actually working a laptop with this design. Although the company is expected to launch new notebooks later this year. These laptops are expected to arrive with either Intel or AMD processors, and would also likely feature SSD storage as well. Recently, the company launched the 2021 MagicBook series, with a high end variant offering an Intel 11th Gen i7 processor, with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The laptop also supports Wi-Fi 6. Although, Honor might also opt for AMD Ryzen 5000 series chips, which are expected to be announced sometime in March 2021. Keep in mind, this is still unconfirmed news, so take this report with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

The competition in practically every segment of the smartphone market is becoming fierce. At first, manufacturers were obsessed with the slimness of their smartphones, hence we have seen super slim devices like the Vivo X5 Max, OPPO R5 and even the new Gionee Elife S7 4.6mm.

Now, looks like manufacturers are focusing on yet another area of a smartphone – bezels. Over the past two years, the bezel size on smartphones have reduced to a great extent. Just yesterday we received more details about the Serendipity S7 which claimed to feature the narrowest bezels (0.7mm) in the industry. Now, yet another smartphone manufacturer has come up with a phone with practically zero bezels. We don’t have much details about the phone maker but the Subor S3 ‘s listing has revealed some of its specs.

First of all, the Subor S3 will come with a 5-inch 720p display with ultra narrow bezels. Its so thin that we can say that the phone is nearly bezel-less. Inside, there will be Mediatek’s MT6732 quad-core processor with 1GB RAM and 16GB of expandable memory. The phone features dual camera module, however the company has not yet revealed the resolution on both the front and the rear shooters. The Subot S3 will support the high speed 4G LTE networks along with standard 3G and GSM networks. It will run on Google’s Android 4.4 KitKat OS.

Also, the image on the website reveals that the phone will cost 1399 Yuan which comes to around $223.99. That’s a decent price for a phone with these features and super slim bezels.

Unfortunately, this is all we know about the device. No details on the battery, camera resolutions or even LTE frequencies are known at the moment. However, like the Serendipity S7, expect some more details in a few weeks time.
