Xiaomi patents dual-sided smartphones, pop-up camera with up to 7 sensors

Xiaomi also patended a futuristic smartphone design with dual-sided displays. There are two devices in the patent, both dual-sided smartphones with screens that wrap-around in different directions. The first one is a wrap-around screen akin to the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha Concept phone. The main difference with that one is that the Mi Mix Alpha wraps around both vertical edges while the patent shows only one side that wrap around. The layout resembles that of the Huawei Mate X when it is folded closed.

The second device has a display that wraps around in a different direction. Model "B" features a screen that wraps up and over the top horizontal edge of the handset. Its back side has a hole-punch cut-out for a dual-camera setup. Its worth noting that both devices don't have dedicated front-facing cameras - the main camera doubles as the selfie camera since the device is mostly screen.
