The Chinese manufacturer Doogee, who has also attracted attention in the past by extremely solid devices, would like to introduce the Doogee Mix 4 Soon, The Doogee Mix4 is the world’s first truly bezel-less smartphone with the in-display fingerprint. But the manufacturer would like to have your money for the time being: A campaign to realize the project will soon start on the crowdfunding platform IndieGoGo.
The crowning of this path could reach the MWC 2019, as shown by two leaked renditions today. They retract two bezel-less smartphones on three sides with a popup camera, the retractable camera that disappears inside the frame, allowing to reduce the upper frame of the display, almost to make it disappear.
Apart from the images, we do not yet have any technical information, so in this article, we just examine what we can see. The first smartphone looks like a mid-range (Chinese) with a slim and elegant design and a fixed dual-rear camera on the left corner of the cover; the front is instead almost completely occupied by the screen thanks to the expedient of the selfie camera with a pop-up mechanism.
The second smartphone has a more original sliding system: the front camera and the rear camera are inserted in a single block with a slide mechanism clearly visible on the back of the smartphone. We could define it as the first smartphone with a “naked-popup” camera. We also note that the thickness of this second terminal is certainly greater than the first and this detail could indicate that it is a battery phone.
Both Doogee’s popup cameras have a USB-C port on the bottom and a fairly thick lower screen frame. Unfortunately, at this moment we can only formulate hypotheses and we believe that the rendering of the renditions was done by Doogee in order to gather feedback on these designs. So let us know if you like them and what you might change because your advice could be useful.
Two sketches of all-screen smartphones with Doogee’s popup camera leaked. The concept is the same but interpreted in two very different ways: one has a thicker body and looks like a battery phone while the other has a slimmer design and a dual fixed rear camera. Will they be presented at MWC 2019?
