Phone Camera Bump Gets Its Own Screen!
6 Nov
Summary
- Honor's new 700 series phones feature a screen on the camera bump.
- This secondary screen can display time, date, and potentially notifications.
- Price will be a key factor in determining the value of this unique feature.
The recently announced Honor 700 series introduces a novel design element: a small screen positioned directly on the camera bump. This secondary display is expected to show basic information such as the time and date, offering an alternative to checking the main phone screen. Further functionalities are yet to be fully detailed by Honor, leaving much to speculation.
Potential uses for this rear screen include displaying notifications when the phone is face down, and possibly serving as a viewfinder for enhanced selfies taken with the main cameras. However, these capabilities are not yet confirmed. The series includes three models: 700S, 700, and 700 Pro, all featuring this integrated rear screen.
Honor has not yet provided a specific launch date or confirmed pricing for the 700 series. While some specifications like RAM and storage are listed, screen dimensions and battery capacity remain undisclosed. This approach echoes similar features seen in other brands like Xiaomi, which has previously incorporated secondary displays on their camera modules.
The market reception of this feature will likely depend heavily on the phone's price point, especially considering Honor's tendency to target the midrange segment. Consumers will be weighing the cost premium for this unique screen against its practical utility and overall value proposition.
