Meizu’s VP was very talkative during a recent interview, when he answered several questions regarding the plans of his company, along with their 2018 lineup of upcoming smartphones.
During the interview he confirmed that Meizu is working on a bezel-less smartphone – mentioning that the current trend of full-screen smartphones is the future. He added that the ideal form for full-screen smartphones hasn’t been reached as there is still an issue with the position of the front camera which can’t be removed as no one will be willing to buy a phone without a front camera.
