Xiaomi continues to study the possibility of releasing smartphones with an original design: the description of the next device, as reported by the resource LetsGoDigital, was published on the website of the National Intellectual Property Administration of China (CNIPA).
This is a device that lacks a traditional front-facing camera. This will eliminate the need for a hole or cutout in the display, realizing a completely bezel-less design.
For selfies, it is recommended to use the multi-module rear camera. To do this, the corresponding unit will rise above the body and turn 180 degrees, ending up in the front part.
The illustrations show a camera with three components, including a large central element. Of course, the configuration of this device may vary.
The device does not have a fingerprint scanner - it can be integrated directly into the screen area. At the bottom of the device is a USB Type-C port and a SIM card slot.
Until now, unfortunately, it is not clear whether Xiaomi is going to bring a smartphone with the described design to the commercial market. Currently, the device exists only in patent documents.

Xiaomi invented a smartphone in the form of a double slider with an additional screen
Resource LetsGoDigital reports that the Chinese company Xiaomi is thinking about another smartphone with a non-standard design: this time it is about a slider. Patent illustrations give an idea of the design.
The device is expected to use a screen with narrow frames, which has neither a hole nor a cut-out for the front camera. At first glance, the back of the camera is also missing.
The secret is to use a double slider. By sliding the front panel to the right, the owner will have access to an advanced auxiliary screen: it can show, say, messages, application icons, etc.
Sliding the panel to the left will open the camera system. The images reveal a triple face pack that may contain two image sensors and a flash.
The rear multi-module camera has four parts: for example, you can use three optical modules and a flash. Of course, the configuration may be different.
Currently, the device only exists in patent documents, so we don't know its technical specifications. Perhaps, in the future, the proposed design will be implemented in commercial devices.
