Love to play computer games On June 22, it was reported that according to the foreign media mobilkopen, Samsung had a patent which was submitted in September 2017 and introduced a new mobile phone design. As you can see, the front screen of the phone in the picture accounts for a very high proportion, which should be close to OPPO Find X. There is almost no chin, and the width of the upper frame is extremely narrow, leaving only room for the earpiece and other sensors. Surprisingly, there is no camera on the front of this phone!
By looking at the patent map, we found that the self portrait solution given by this patent does not use an elevating camera like vivo NEX or OPPO Find X. It may use the rear camera as a front camera. The specific method is to add a secondary display on the back cover with an area close to half of the body. When the user needs to take a self portrait, flip the phone and use the rear camera to take a self portrait. Then the secondary display will display the real-time image captured by the camera.
I have to say that Samsung's patent is another way to increase the proportion of screens. The author thinks of Meizu PRO 7. This mobile phone was released in July 2017. There is a 1.9 inch small screen under the rear camera of this phone, which can be used to take a self portrait with the rear dual camera. Unfortunately, Meizu didn't use this secondary screen to increase the proportion of mobile phone screens at that time, which may be related to the fact that full screen mobile phones were not popular at that time.

In this Samsung patent, there is an iris sensor on the front of the phone, so users can use the iris to unlock. In addition, we did not see the physical opening of the fingerprint module, so the machine may also support fingerprint under the screen. It was reported that Samsung and Apple are developing fingerprint under the ultrasonic screen, which is said to respond faster than fingerprint under the optical screen.

It should be noted that if Samsung adds the full screen sound generation and hidden sensor technology similar to vivo NEX on the basis of this patent, the screen proportion of mobile phones can be further improved, and the front is really the screen.
