Both are better than having notches, but they need to solve the problem of these phablets being too goddamn big!

    All these experiments and no one has the balls to go with no selfie cam at all.

      I love it. I dont mind with notch as long as there is proper face unlock, this design make full screen phone with proper face unlock possible.

        6.8 inch? Ok, A little more bigger screen then I consider to use phablet combining phone and tablet then is big enough. 6.5 inch are not big enough, 6.7 inch are still not big enough for phone and tablet. 6.8 inch, a little more. Huawei mate 20 X or honor 8x max is the best option for me.

          They are skipping selfie cam and just using back camera? That would be the best idea.

            I like both designs. The first one can even offer IP certification easily. Second one reminds me of Xperia X1. ZTE makes nice concepts, but they never become products...

              i actually like this design

                  moerutoukon, 19 Mar 2019This phone will not be released.How much times do I need to say this.. this is a Chinese concept which more than likely will be a real product this isn't apple and Samsung that makes a bunch of unrealised patents china doesn't play around with concepts becoming real products

                    This phone will not be released.

My phone has a front-facing led flash and I'd greatly prefer turning on the lights or repositioning my desk lamp over using what is essentially a flashlight directly at my face.

                          Not sure I like the idea, but I like the novelty at least. Much better than the notch, definitely.

                            And a modern smartphone with no front camera will never be made because of selfie-addicted millennials and people who regularly do video calls.

                              Hey, I'm just thinking out the box and all that but what about this idea.


                              Just avoid buying any phone with a notch......this simple approach works amazingly well.

                                ZTE's R&D is doing it better now rather than copying or innovating from other's works. The designs are quite appealing.

                                    (Yes I'm dramatizing but this is just to illustrate my point).

                                      Interesting! It adds a bit of size but not sure if this will be a lot cheaper to implement than a dual screen phone

                                        i like the idea of the axon v, but only if it is minimal hump. from the render it looks like it could be unnecessarily bigger that what it should be. or it could also be at the top instead of the side (reminds me of my old sony-ericsson active). or can it be made small enough so it can be tucked away manually (no motors) into the frame when not in use?
