Posted today by @Kjuma is a photo of an unamed phone with the comment “Guess the phone”. A few ideas have sprung to my mind but which mobile device do you think has been spied?
On the one had it has become quite exciting that we have so many up and coming phones to look out for that we aren’t really sure which mobile phone we are looking at. On the other hand though the fact that the generic shape should lend itself to any number of phone makers is a little disconcerting.
My initial thought upon seeing the spy photo was the PPTV phone. This coming Monday, PPTV will release their first ever smartphone which rumoured glasses free 3D 2K display. The design of the phone does seem to match renders and leaks but there are other possibilities too.
Gizchina News of the week
Could this image show the Xiaomi Mi5? The design is white with a metal body and features hardware navigation buttons similar to a Xiaomi phone. Is this the first look at the Mi5?
Another possibility is the upcoming LeTV with Snapdragon 820. Not much is known about that phone yet, but this design doesn’t match the current LeTV line-up. The phone could even be a new IUNI device or one of the recently released 360 phones!
What do you think we are looking at here? What do you think of the design too generic? Let us know in the comments below.
My 1 cent for Xiaomi
How do you expect they make a screen right to the edge? There has to be some form of protection or it has to be embedded in glass which makes it very expensive.
They can make it, oh you know, not black and follow the color of the phone.
The nubia z9 and the sharp aquos phone have bezelless screens.
Yeah and it cost $600 USD.
I’m guessing but the bezel-less screens would have integrated glass touch screen with the LCD, as opposed to separate items. Other words specialised single item vs off shelf items that phone manufacturers put together and mask.
They’re not that wide and if I have to choose between this and the way Motorola does it with the Moto G (plastic on top) then I prefer this. At least here it looks great when the phone is off but with the Moto it never does.
