In addition to the folding Infinity Flex display, Samsung is also rumored to be working on a smartphone display with a circular cutout specifically for the camera on the front. This would, theoretically, allow a phone to have a screen take up all of the space on the front of a device without having to make a compromise for a display notch, water drop shaped or otherwise.
But Samsung's not the only one with that idea, and Huawei wants to do it first.
Yep, Huawei is already teasing a phone with virtually no bezels and a display cutout in the top left corner just for the camera. They're also supposedly getting ready to show something off related to this in early December, which just might have them putting on a show before Samsung can. Will the device actually make it to market first? Who knows, but whichever company can announce first is definitely going to earn a little extra marketing buzz.
Aside from seeing how Huawei plans to handle the notch, there's really not much else we know about the device. Will it be a flagship-caliber phone, or something midrange just to test the waters? Will Android be able to work around that kind of a cutout without doing anything funky? Is it going to cost $3000?
There's a lot up in the air right now, but rest assured, Huawei and Samsung are working at it relentlessly.
