YUKI93, 05 Feb 2021I don't see the point of wireless charging when you st... moreThe main reason is to build a phone without any hole on the it.Actually this isnt the first concept phone doing this,meizu zero and vivo apex2019(both concept phone release at 2019) also remove the charging port.
I think in the future(maybe 2022),we will have some mass production phone without any hole sell on market

It has a massive design flaw. Though it seems great phone and revolutionary, it is going to fail. Because if it drops, it will going to break like anything and if customer uses cover then how this phone is different from any other phone ???
At least I don't see any sense of making this phone without thinking about the end user's experience.

Anonymous, 05 Feb 2021How can a concept phone be a flop?!? Take few examples, the Mix Alpha and Vivo Apex. Those two concept phones did not end up being anything. These phones are just meant to showcase potential features in the future, not for sale. Think of a concept car.
When the Mix Alpha was for sale almost no one bought the phone as it is too expensive. Xiaomi was not aware of that.

This phone better have a good grip, or I just don't care of that design. Something flat without any bezel, isn't enough ? Or a minimal bezel (2mmm ?) , with exact same size on all sides.

Anonymous, 05 Feb 2021It's more than that. These sides aren't just Vivo... moreI don't know man, I've never looked at my phone and thought that they should have the notifications hidden along the edge. Kinda defeats the purpose if I can't see it when looking at it. And if this is correct does the phone need to be placed down a certain way so you can see the wide with the notification panel?
This is a straight up ridiculous concept.
And why has no one mentioned that they 'stole' the idea from Motorola with the Edge / Edge+, that had the first waterfall display which was not well received from what I seen.

YUKI93, 05 Feb 2021That is why LG still retains the audio jack for their phone... moreI actually don't mind progress, going everything wireless, but they should try to deliver wirelessly 25W of power and lossless sound to my planar in-ears without annoying take-everywhere-with-you adapters often of low quality which also quite often break or got bad connection(usbc related).
So all those without jack are a joke to me, trying to be all so cool but downgrading in real life.
Sadly Wing got no jack, only xperia got those now. lol those adapters...

YUKI93, 05 Feb 2021That is why I still love Sony's design approach for 20... moreAgreed. I'll probably source out a Sony 1III instead of a new Samsung. I'm just not digging the new Samsung... not even the S20/S10.

These sides aren't just Vivo NEX curves, they have functional buttons and status bars at the sides, with under-screen cameras. This solves the top bezel problem as well as the notification bar problem, most people won't spend more than 10 seconds looking at the advertisement.

So seriously, think before you post. Companies aren't stupid; every product they unveil costs millions, and that is money and time they cannot afford to lose. Each product has a purpose; be it to sell, to fill a niche gap that might prevent a competitor from getting there first, a stop-gap solution, or most commonly: free advertisement.
Every time we bash a company for doing something stupid or something sinister, think about it deeply. They aren't just "greedy", "cheap", "shameless", these decisions come with thought and deep debate. Even Apple removing the charger, you KNOW deep down that they definitely did their homework and decided the backlash would not cost them more than what they can earn back, and they can genuinely save the environment in the process. Samsung pulled an Apple probably because their marketing teams and S21 teams were separated to prevent leaks. Sony's naming convention was bad because of a common issue that series authors face: not having the perspective of customers who are foreign.

Think back to the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Z Flip. They obviously didn't sell well as a conventional phone, but their advertisements were EVERYWHERE. Honestly though, these are cool looking phones that just flex the company's technological might in your face. Practical or not, Xiaomi does indeed demonstrate objective engineering prowess. That's all they need.

We are going to buy them the "waterfall" finger to be able to touch on the sides. Flat screens are fine. Why don't they just make the perfect phone and not the Fankenstein phone?
