ASUS is one of the companies that have not yet taken the leap to an edge to edge screen. So artist Raj Rajpara took that initiative for them, and introduced a rendering of how gorgeous Asus Znefone Curve could look in the flesh.
Asus Zenfone Curve: a beautiful and sleek design
The designer opted for a screen size of 5.5 inches, which is the same as the Zenfone 4 Max Pro’s screen. Though the concept for the ASUS Zenfone Curve is bezel-less, increasing the screen to phone ratio, so the overall concept phone’s size would be smaller than the ASUS Zenfone 4 Max Pro. Mirroring the curved screen, the designer also added a curved back panel. This panel is not only aesthetic, as it includes a fingerprint scanner, wireless charging, and camera stabilizer technology.
Our first impression is that it is very beautiful. However the designer also adds some hypothetical specs to the mix, mentioning “Faster Performance, Smoother Display, Clearer Pictures”. In terms of performance, the designer added notes about having a “2.3 GHz Octa core processor”, different from the Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 processor the Zenfone 4 Max Pro currently sports. This would make for a pretty powerful device, great for complicated tasks. It would probably have at least 3GB of RAM.
Another design element are the cameras, as the designer advertises their concept with “Clearer Pictures”. In the renders, you can see a powerful-looking front camera. It would probably be at least 16MP with LED flash (if not more). There is also a feature for a front camera, . Selfie game should also be at least 16MP to match, the latest ASUS Zenfone 4 Max Pro. The Curve also has a really thin design, so it’s mysterious how the designer intended to fit a battery as powerful as the 5000mAh in the Zenfone 4 Max Pro.
Great concept, but feasible?
All in all the concept is beautiful, sleek, and even includes some specs consideration. However, with the inclusion of an edgeless display, you could expect this kind of design to cost upwards of $800. This price is in par with other edgeless display designs such as the recent Samsung Galaxy Note 8. It’s also worth asking if this costly design feature would actually be practical or worth the added cost. Either way, this concept design is beautiful, and we’re impressed by the designer’s ideas!
