If not everyone likes curved screens because they can be, according to them, the source of accidental manipulations, Huawei does not really seem to agree with this in any case for certain models. Indeed, the last smartphone marketed in France by the firm, the Mate 40 Pro has a particularly curved screen, up to 88 degrees. But, the manufacturer could go even further with this new concept for which it has filed a patent. The screen is even called "Arc Display" and could go all the way to the back of the device, which has been rendered in realistic 3D by the LetsGoDigital site.

Touch zones with pressure sensors for different functions

Phone profiles could have several touch zones and respond differently depending on where you press. This would make it possible in particular to change the functions of these areas according to the application in use and thus offer better ergonomics. The patent also mentions a pressure-sensitive touch system which would give a specific function if you press hard on the curved part of the screen or, on the contrary, you only press moderately. The idea would be precisely to avoid or at least limit accidental manipulations on this part of the screen.

A camera under the screen coming to Huawei?

Huawei patents a smartphone with a screen that goes up to profiles and a camera under the screen

In addition, the patent also mentions the presence of a camera under the screen. It's a big trend at the moment and most manufacturers are indeed trying to do away with the notch or punch-out which doesn't leave all the room the display area deserves and can spoil the visual experience and above all immersion in the image. If this is part of the patent, that does not mean that the manufacturer has not already experienced it on a device which could soon be marketed rather than on this concept which, for its part, will never see the light of day.

Finally, the document also refers to the presence of a cooling system, a chip dedicated to artificial intelligence and speakers for stereo sound.

It remains to be seen if this device will see the light of day or if it is only a matter of avenues on which the Chinese manufacturer is currently working, which is still prohibited from working with American companies or those who trade with US companies.
