Sliding Bezel-Free Smartphones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Conceptual 'PIXEL ZERO' Smartphone Hides Components from Sight

— May 12, 2018 — Tech
The present focus by many technology manufacturers to eliminate the bezel on smartphones is seeing essential components integrated using notches, but the conceptual 'PIXEL ZERO' aims to offer a different approach.

Integrated with a sliding design, the smartphone hides the light sensor, front-facing camera and other components until they're actually needed to keep the focus on a truly bezel-free device. This also helps to calm security woes amongst consumers by hiding the camera during regular use, while ensuring the components stay protected from damage.

The conceptual 'PIXEL ZERO' smartphone is the design work of Pankaj Kuli and identifies what can be done to make devices more functional for consumers that are in search of the best aesthetics.

3. Integrated Components - The integration of essential components, such as the light sensor and front-facing camera, into bezel-free smartphones creates opportunities for seamless user experience and improved device protection.
Industry Implications
