Android creator teases new bezel-less smartphone

NEW DELHI: Andy Rubin, the creator of Google's Android OS, has teased a new smartphone that will have no bezels at all. Rubin teased the smartphone by tweeting an image, which shows one corner of a device (held in a hand) and zero bezels. Along with the image, the tweet also has a caption that reads, "I'm really excited about how this is shaping up. Eager to get it in more people's hands..." It is not for sure whether the smartphone teased by Rubin is the final product or a prototype.
From what we can see in the image, the smartphone teased by Rubin appears similar to Xiaomi's Mi Mix, which also has a bezel-less front panel. The handset will be made by Rubin's Essential Products Inc. It has been reported before that the company's flagship smartphone is scheduled to launch in mid-2017.

It mentioned that the company is comprised of former Google and Apple employees. Essential was said to be working on a smartphone that will have "the ability to gain new hardware features over time." Besides hinting at a modular device, the report added that the modular components will stick with the base device using a magnetic connector. The connector will also be able to charge the battery, while expanding the features of the smartphone. One of the modules was claimed to be a 360-degree camera. Also, the modular handset was claimed to have a bezel-less display, something which has now been teased by Rubin. Further, the report claimed that one of the prototypes may have a screen bigger than Apple's iPhone 7 Plus. However, its overall footprint would be smaller due to lesser bezels. The particular model is expected to sport a metallic frame and ceramic back. As for the launch, it may launch sometime in the middle of this year.
