Meizu MX3 renders show curved display and tapered body


More Meizu MX3 concepts released, this time showing a new tapered design and extremely curved glass display.

Meizu fans are frantically trying to pry some news out of the company about the upcoming Meizu MX3, however Meizu are keeping quiet and seem tied up with development of the latest version of the FlyMe ROM, FlyMe 3.0.

So with the lack of official word, fans have resorted to producing their own concept artwork, examples of which can be seen here.

Gizchina News of the week


From the Meizu MX3 renders we can make out some rather cool features. The body appears to be made of alloy machined in to a tapered ‘tear drop’ shape and features LED power indicator lights along the edge.

The back of the phone seems to be completely flat while the display curved from edge to edge and then toward the base of the phone where the on-screen navigation and home buttons are located!

While the designs here are really incredible we don’t expect something so radical from the Chinese boutique phone maker. Instead we believe the MX3 will look similar to the MX2 but with a larger display and even narrower screen bezels.

How about you guys?

    Nice idea, should make it easier to hold. But one need true oled display to do that and there’s no way that the chinese phone maker who usually ride the waves of the big player innovation would use that for their phone.

    That would make for a lovely back of a phone. No way it’s comfortable to hold/use with that bulge as a front and flat back (just flip over an older iPhone and try it)

    A curved display is one of those features that looks good on paper, but in reality would be a disaster because of the viewing angles. Imagine playing a game or watching a movie on a convex display — umm, no thanks. Even if it’s a super IPS display with extreme viewing angles, you’d still encounter the problem of skewed perspectives (no matter how slight, it’s still a distraction IMHO).

    So, no, I don’t think we’ll be seeing displays with that much curvature as seen in the concept phones. If anything, maybe we’ll get a 1% slope curvature, or a flexible display (more much practical).

    After all that it took tv’s to get a flat screen now we are going back and get curved displays on cellphones? Seems odd.
