Smartphone design has seen a lot of innovation in the past five years. There are slim smartphones, curved smartphones, bulky one’s and smartphones with slim bezels (Frame).
But, the Coolpad group is gunning for a frame-less smartphone in India. Coolpad is a smartphone manufacturer and an integrated wireless solution provider. They announced that their patented frameless Smartphone will be available in India later this year.
This innovation might appeal to those looking for a smartphone that stands out from the crowd.
According to the patent literature, the technology can render the visual effect of a smartphone’s screen to be completely frameless through a manufacturing process while delivering a seamless, edge-to-edge visual experience to the end users. Smartphones adopting this patent will possess a larger screen proportion than present narrow-frame smartphones launched by some smartphone manufacturers.
Users around the world have been asking for narrow frames and higher screen to surface ratios. Our engineers are taking it to the next level by building an entirely frameless design. India will be among the first markets in the world we will launch this innovation in.
— Varun Sharma, CEO, Coolpad India
Coolpad says that their frameless phones won’t require users to spend additional money on phone cases to protect the frame.
Coolpad has been first-to-market with many innovations, including the curved screen phone, dual rear camera, unibody inside phone and GSM/CDMA dual sim.
So this frameless innovation will see many takers for sure.
