Samsung Galaxy S10: New Patent Application Hints At Zero Bezel Display

The two Samsung phones that are currently creating waves across the internet are Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy F foldable smartphones.

The South Korean smartphone maker reportedly unveiled three experimental notch designs- Infinity-U, Infinity-V, and Infinity-O at the recently held Samsung Developers Conference. A new patent application for a smartphone with the Infinity-O type design has recently surfaced online. The patent application shows a punch-hole type cutout for the phone’s front-facing camera placed in the top-left corner, reported Slash Gear.

In fact, a new report coming from Korean site TheElec also claims that Samsung Display is currently working on developing smartphone screens using diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers to drill holes in displays. As per rumors, carrier name, cellular antenna signal, battery life, time, and other information will be displayed on the left and right side of the hole on the status bar. A black border will likely hide the camera during video playback.

It is expected that the design could be for the upcoming Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S10. The handset shown in the patent has zero bezels. There’s no bezel on any side of the screen. The handset features a truly edge-to-edge screen that stretches all the way to each corner.

Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected to be rolled out in three variants- Galaxy S10, S10 Lite, and S10+. The base variant is expected to come with a single camera, while the other more expensive variants are likely to feature a triple-rear camera setup and an in-display fingerprint sensor. It is suggested that Samsung might go with Snapdragon 845, Exynos 9820 or the yet-to-be-launched Snapdragon 8150 processor for its upcoming phones.

The Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Lite, and S10+ smartphones are expected to unveil during 2019 Mobile World Congress (MWC) that could happen in February end next year.
