Now, it has a new concept: a portless phone with a waterfall display extending to all four edges.<\/p>\n<p>The device looks drop-dead gorgeous, and I\u2019ll challenge anyone who disagrees to a duel on top of a volcanic mountain. Before you point your pitchforks at me, feast your eyes on this magnificent beast in the video below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The First Quad-curved Waterfall Display Concept Smartphone\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fB-66gTRFcc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nXiaomi said that the display is curved at 88-degrees to all sides: top, bottom, left, and right. The company claims that they achieved this flex in the screen through a \u201c3D bonding process\u201d \u2014 which tells us\u00a0nothing.<\/p>\n<p><span>This looks like a great phone. Where\u2019s the nightmare? For starters, if you don\u2019t like a curved screen, you will hate this the moment you look at it. Also, displays with edges are prone to ghost touches from your hand\u2019s\u00a0grip. In the video, you can also see that the phone has black cutouts on corners. Some content might not comply with that and end up looking weird.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1337741 lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"558\" height=\"166\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-05-at-2.00.42-PM.png\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-05-at-2.00.42-PM.png 558w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-05-at-2.00.42-PM-280x83.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-05-at-2.00.42-PM-540x161.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-05-at-2.00.42-PM-270x80.png 270w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/plugged\/2021\/02\/05\/xiaomis-portless-concept-phone-is-a-gorgeous-nightmare\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F02%2F05%2Fxiaomis-portless-concept-phone-is-a-gorgeous-nightmare%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Xiaomi concept phone\" data-title=\"Share Xiaomi concept phone on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Xiaomi concept phone on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Xiaomi concept phone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span>Apart from the visual <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal, there\u2019s not much practical use of this form factor as of now.
