15 January 2020
These mockup renders give us a nice look at the possible hardware, one with a horizontal wrap-around and the other wraps vertically.

Sounds neat, until you think about all the fingerprints... everywhere. And accidentally call your mom from the back screen while playing pogo on the front.

    Well this looks like the 2020 or 2021 will be copied by apple like everything before.
    Instead making something trully own they will haopiy copy and paste from a lot better phone manufacturer.

      This design is unique in its own way, most comments are stating its useless or there's no point to its unique features. personally as long as the specs come through outstanding and a possible phone case that can help it not get destroyed would be outstanding. THrow this phone our way if no one will take it I will!!!

        Give me this over a useless clam shell any day.

          Useless

              Umm it's mate x but useless

                Ok, it was cool as a concept
                But I think that is too much, that phone is anything but practical.

                      I think this is much more plausible than the Mi MIX Alpha, but I still wouldn't buy it cause of how fragile it is and how difficult it is to case it

                        Magnaroader, 15 Jan 2020I cant possibly understand the need for a wrap around scree... moreAll manufacturer makes more bezelles phone now. They try to differentiate each other.

                          its not ugly, it's actually pretty. but damn "What for"

                            This is absolutely the most useless design choice on a smartphone yet.

                              I cant possibly understand the need for a wrap around screen as that would only make the device more fragile.
                              Unless the phone folds out like the Mate X, why not just make a phone with less bezels instead?
                              Mix Alpha was at least an interesting concept. These two patent models are just ugly

                                This kind of design will not last long... What if it will fall in the cement? Glass is glass and glass breaks~

                                    what's the purpose of it?

                                      do we really need this dual-sided phone as a costumer. I really don't know what's going to change in my life. Or is this just proof that we can do it??

                                        Just not a good idea Xiaomi, it'll just get scratches galore
