It is worth noting that iQOO 8 achieves an excellent visual effect. Ge Lan V, product manager of iQOO, pointed out that the iQOO 8 archives very narrow bezels on three sides. This according to him is very close to the excellent visual perception of a quad-bezeless design.
In order to make the sliding experience of this flexible straight screen more refreshing, designers and structural engineers have carefully designed the curvature of the edge of the glass cover, and every time the finger is drawn from the edge, it is extremely comfortable and elegant.
