New Essential Phone Mobile Phone Will Release 'bangs'

Essential Phone, smartphone made by Android creator Andy Rubin, can be regarded as one of the revolutionary smartphone in the field of design.

Before iPhone X carries notch design, Essential is proud to be the first to bring the design to their smartphone.

But now, it seems Essential no longer want to have the design. The reason, Essential has patented several designs in recent months. One of the most interesting is the patent about "cameras that are integrated into the screen." Thus, the patent may be removing notch alias bangs on top of the smartphone screen.

The patent describes a screen configuration consisting of multiple layers, where the camera is located in a "transparent area that substantially enables light from outside to enter the camera sensor."

In other words, the front camera will be hidden behind the screen. We will not see it, but it serves as a camera.

In the patent image, it is seen that the camera is positioned in place of notch Essential is usually located. This makes the LCD screen will occupy the entire surface of the front of the device, with sensors placed at one point inside the screen or surrounded by the screen.

The technique of placement is still unclear, predicted one point at the top of the screen will be made a hole or concave, to put the sensor.

A similar goal, where the screen will fill the entire surface of the front of the device, has actually been realized by Vivo Apex. The difference, Vivo Apex make the front camera into the device, and can be issued if needed.

According to BayStreet report, Essential Phone only sold 5,000 units since the smartphone was launched in the US last month.

The assurance of launching Essential Phone in the market was announced instantly by Rubin via Twitter account. In August 2017, he uploaded an Essential Phone assembly line image and confirmed the launch time.

"We are in the mass production phase, find out where you can get it next week! #thisisessential," Rubin wrote at the time.

Essential Phone Marketing from the beginning is not so smooth because it experienced several delays. Essential Phone should be released in the market in June 2017, but the shipment can only start at the end of last month in the US.

The Essential Phone is sold exclusively to Sprint mobile operators in the United States (US) with a contract deal. However, consumers can also buy an unlocked version at Best Buy and an online storeEssential for US $ 699.
