Tomorrow the new Huawei P40 and P40 are officially presented, terminals of which practically already know each and every one of the specifications without finally the leaks that we published a few days ago are fulfilled and where there is no particularly striking feature.
The guys from LetsGoDigital have had access to a patent registered by the Asian company Huawei which shows a small touch screen located around the circle that integrates the cameras and that it would allow us to consult notifications quickly in addition to performing other functions.
The patent describes some of the uses that this circular screen could have located at the back and they have ventured to make different renderings showing us how it might work. As we can see in the image above, this screen would be able to show us the text, the time, use the zoom, answer or hang up calls, raise or lower the volume, change the page ...
The real utility of this function, I see it quite limited Unless the user is in the habit of placing the smartphone with the screen facing downwards since it will allow him to quickly see if he is interested in answering a call, reading a message, seeing the time ... I cannot see the functionality of using the zoom level clear…
The patent design is very similar to the Mate range, so this novel touch screen integrated into the camera module frame, could be one of the main attractions of the new Huawei Mate 40, model whose launch is scheduled for September or October of this year.
The first thing to make clear is that it is a patent, a patent does not mean that it is a product that the company plans to launch on the market. The reason for registering patents is to protect the idea they have had in the event that other companies may come up with a similar or similar idea.
