We have been hearing a lot about the Ulefone Future smartphone, thanks to the numerous teasers and leaks about the phone. But if you thought that the Future was just a marketing strategy from the company, then you were wrong. Ulefone today announced the brand new Ulefone Future flagship and it’s everything that we expected it to be.

One of the highlights of the phone is going to be the bezel-less display on board, one of the first local Chinese companies to actually release such a device. This does set the phone apart from the numerous other offerings in the market available right now.

Apart from the amazing bezel-less screen, the phone also boasts of a side mounted fingerprint sensor. For many, this might just be the ideal position, located just beside the power button on the right. These two features make the Future an important flagship smartphone in the market right now. But the other specs are equally impressive.

Under the hood, the phone comes with the Helio P10 octa-core chip clocked at 2GHz. There will be 4GB of RAM on board and 32GB of internal storage. At the back, Ulefone Future sports a 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 sensor with PDAF and dual tone flash. As for the bezel-less display, it will be a 5.5-inch panel with 1080p resolution.

Ulefone reveals that the 3000mAh battery on board might be mediocre but it has made sure that the battery will charge quickly thanks to support for 9V/ 2A~3A charging. At this speed, the battery can reportedly charge up completely in just an hour. Other features of the device include Android 6.0, 4G LTE with Cat 6 support, gyro sensor for VR support and USB Type-C port.

Given the flagship status, the Ulefone Future comes with a body made out of a whole piece of magnesium alloy ingot by CNC cutting. The measurements of the phone are as follows: 151.5 x 73.5 x 8.6mm. It will weigh a good 185 grams.

The phone will go on sale for an undisclosed price tag from next week. There will be two colors namely gray and gold. You can read more about the phone from the official company website. Also, check out more pictures from below.

Although Ulefone had announced its Ulefone Future bezel-less smartphone a few weeks back, the phone is not yet available for purchase. Considering the complicated design of incorporating a bezel-less display on a smartphone, we guess it would take still a few weeks for the device to hit the markets.

However, to keep their fans busy, Ulefone has just revealed the CNC Unibody of the Ulefone Future. The company reveals that the Future will have a metal unibody with a single piece making the back cover and frame.

To further explain the manufacturing process, the company reveals that the phone is made from a whole block of aluminum titanium-alloy ingot and is subjected to CNC cutting machine. This helps the phone get its premium look and at the same time, reduces the thickness and the weight of the device to a bare minimum.

The lines that you see on the top and the bottom at the back are for the antenna. The company uses nano injection moulding to make sure that the plastic for the antennas are evenly filled into the grooves of the metal body. From the overall design of the back, it looks like the company is going for a design like the iPhone series for its Ulefone Future.

To recap, the Ulefone Future will come with a 2GHz Helio P10 octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and a 2.5D display. There will be a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and Samsung’s 16MP camera sensor at the back. The phone will also feature gyroscope which the company claims will support VR functions.

The company is yet to reveal an exact release date or price of the Ulefone Future. But you can expect the release sometime in April this year. Stay tuned for more details.
