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.

Ulefone is all set to release its bezel-less flagship, namely the Ulefone Future in April. The company has been revealing a few details about the phone in the weeks to the launch. Today, the company informs us that the Ulefone Future will come with virtual keys instead of traditional capacitive ones.

The company is reportedly going with on-screen buttons because it will help it reduce the portion below the display. In a video released recently Ulefone has shows us how to enable or customize the navigation buttons on the device.

There are four different options for the user, with optimizations for both left handed and right handed users. You also get a special toggle button to bring down the notifications. Further, you can even hide the bar from the display.

You can check out more details about the navigation bar from the video below.

Coming to the specs of the Future, it will feature a bezel-less display measuring 5.5-inches with FHD 1080p resolution. The phone will reportedly feature Helio P10 processor clocked at 2GHz with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The initial AnTuTu scores revealed by the company of the Future was just average, scoring just above 51,000 points. However, it was a prototype model and we can expect the score to increase to some extent in the retail version.

The phone will come with Android 6.0 out of the box along with a CyanogenMod ROM. Expect the Ulefone Future to be unveiled in April. Stay tuned for more details in the coming days.

Bezel-less display seems to be the new obsession among low cost Chinese manufacturers. Elephone has a couple of bezelless phones in the works, UMi has one and even Ulefone has its soon to be announced Ulefone Future smartphone. The specs of the phone have already been revealed and with Helio P10 octa-core chip under the hood and 4GB of RAM, we can expect the performance to be quite satisfactory.

Now, the guys over at Ulefone have decided to release the AnTuTu benchmark score of the Ulefone Future, and they are quite ordinary. In the benchmarking app, the phone managed to score just over 51,000 which is not very high according to today’s standard. But it’s pretty decent for your everyday needs.

One thing to note here is that the score was posted by a prototype model with 3GB of RAM on board. But the retail version will come with 4GB of RAM, hence we can expect the final scores to be a bit higher than this figure.

As for the specs on the final model, the Ulefone Future will reportedly come with Helio P10 MT6755 octa-core processor clocked at 2GHz with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. In comparison, last year’s MT6752’s eight cores were clocked at 1.7GHz and the Mali-T760 GPU was much slower. There will be a fingerprint sensor located on the side of the phone and it is said the phone lacks physical volume buttons as it will be touch based. As for the bezel-less display, you can expect a 5.5-inch panel with 1080p resolution.

While we were not sure whether the Future will meet us in April, the company has assured once again that the release will be next month. So, we better wait and watch whether the company manages to honor the promised release time frame.

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.
