Lenovo Z5 Pro in pictures: Beating back the bezelĭoogee S98 Pro with thermal imaging and night vision goes on sale today.That sounds like a vision of the future, but with a China-only release it's not destined for the wider world to witness. Interestingly, the Lenovo offers the highest screen-to-body ratio of any current slider, with hardly any of the black stuff towards the edges. The spec is also a little lighter, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 under the hood. The fingerprint scanner is embedded under the screen to keep the design neat and tidy – although this phone is certainly far thicker than its Xiaomi and Honor competitors, with a more plasticky feel to it. We got to see it at the company's Beijing HQ in late November 2018.ĭesign is a familiar tale to its competition, opting for an almost bezel-free front and non-mechanical sliding mechanism to reveal the front cameras. It's not made a big song and dance about the device for the simple fact it's only available in China. It's not all about Xiaomi and Honor, though, as Lenovo quietly launched its own equivalent slider phone – the Z5 Pro. Although we do worry that pulling it out of a pocket will see it constantly slide open – which is something mechanical devices avoid. So it doesn't have to just be for that selfie – it could be to answer a call, like a traditional flip phone, or to load a game. Interestingly, the Mi Mix 3 offers customisable app launching when sliding it open. The Lenovo Z5 Pro and GT, which we look at further down the page, claims 95 per cent. The Xiaomi devices boasts a 93.4 per cent screen-to-body ratio, cementing the Mi Mix's position as the device with the some of the least bezel available. It's said to be good for 300,000 cycles, which is three times that of its mechanical competitors, like the Oppo Find X. Rather than investing in a motorised mechanical design, Xiaomi's Mi Mix 3 functions using a magnetic system – it's a case of manually sliding the phone up to display the front-facing cameras. And Honor followed that a week later with its 31 October event in the same city, showing that slider phone momentum is certainly gathering.īut is the slider phone really the future, or just a short-lived fad that will be outlived by the even newer hole-punch camera solution? We take a look at the current devices trying to present an alternative future. Xiaomi seems to think so too, following the announcement of its the Mi Mix 3 flagship at a media-only conference in Beijing, China, on 25 October 2018. We've all seen the notch - yes, the at-first dreaded notch that black-out dip to the top of many current flagship phones, from the Apple iPhone XS to the Huawei Mate 20 Pro - but, if the second-half of 2018 was anything to go by, commencing with Oppo's reveal of the Find X, then the slider phone is the future. But there's a problem: where to put the cameras, sensors and fingerprint scanners in such devices? Manufacturers proudly present greater screen-to-body figures at their press conferences. (Pocket-lint) - As mobile phones continue to advance, the demand for more screen and less bezel is dominating design.
