Hisense disclosed a novel smartphone patent on February 17, 2023. The new smartphone has a square shape, a straight front screen, narrow borders on three sides, and no holes. A right-angle central frame and an under-screen or pop-up camera will likely give the phone a straightforward, rugged aesthetic.
The Hisense smartphone’s surround screen stands out. The screen stretches from the bottom to the back of the fuselage, giving a striking and fashionable design like Xiaomi’s surround screen MIX Alpha, but with a horizontal surround. The new smartphone has a back four-camera configuration with three vertical cameras and a rumored periscope telephoto lens on the side. The phone’s distinctive design includes an independent camera on the fuselage.

Hisense sells mostly reading smartphones with unique eye-protecting ink displays. The new patented smartphone intends to feature flexible OLED materials and a surround screen. Technical difficulties prevent mass manufacture. The 2019 Xiaomi MIX Alpha, which cost about 20,000 yuan, was discontinued owing to production issues. If released, the new Hisense smartphone is likely to be expensive.
With its elegant design, surround screen, and camera module, the new Hisense smartphone patent is promising for the smartphone business. Although it’s not practical for mass production, it pushes smartphone design and innovation and intrigues us about the future of phones.
