Xiaomi has a vision for the future of smartphones, and it involves a whole lot of screen. The company is showing off its latest concept device, and it’s a phone with a portless design and a display that curves around all four of the edges of the device. The concept, called the Xiaomi Quad-Curved Waterfall Display Concept, involves the use of what Xiaomi says is a “revolutionary hyper quad-curved 88-degree surface,” and it was apparently not so easy to make. According to the company, the glass was built by hot-bending glass at an 800-degree temperature, and required the use of four different polishing tools, and up to 10 polishing procedures. Now, while building this display clearly involves some pretty incredible engineering, there is some question as to whether or not people actually want a phone like this.
