Ulefone give us a sneak peek inside the Ulefone Future

AbbieMarch 21, 2016

Ulefone have taken a few photos of the metal body of the Ulefone Future to show the CNC machining of their latest phone and some of the molded parts.

We saw the Ulefone Future at MWC and got to play around with the bezel-less smartphone for a few moments at the expo. Those models were prototypes though and the final production models are going to look much more premium and feel better in the hand.

Ulefone say that they have opted to use a CNC chassis on the Future as it means they are able to machine each frame out of a single block of alloy. It also helps the body to have a better finish and allows for a thinner body to increase comfort and save weight all while maintaining strength.

  Unless you do not want good antenna performance, and, if there is no back lines, that is ugly design.

Why always metal chassis these days? I don’t like them, I want my high quality polycarbonate chassis back.

    No, I wanted to say, that it hasn’t to be metal. You can also make a good matte plastic that feels good.

I think now if china vendors want to survive then they should focus on how to make their smartphone or tablet more reliable, durable, faster, etc compare to make them pretty but useless and easy to spoilt.
Problem with china electronic product from those non-reputable brands are their low quality hardware parts (and softwares) so normally the units cannot last even 1 year (normal regular use).
I could be wrong btw. Hopefully now they learned their mistake and try to improve.

  I think you probably have not used the metal frame of the phone, most phones almost metallic materials are similar, except special alloy Apple Watch, most phones are 304 austenitic alloys. This is not very advanced stuff, but the cost will increase a lot more than plastic.
