Huawei will launch next month a smartphone without glasses and without notch

IT LOOKS LIKE Huawei will impersonate Samsung rival in the race to release a smartphone without glasses and without notches.

In a teaser image published on the Chinese social network Weibo, shared by Ice Universe (below), the world's second-largest maker of phones has shown the new device without bezel.

While the handset, which has not yet been named, drops the controversial hack, it seems to be the first to adopt a "punch hole" camera cutout. That's an idea we've seen before with the courtesy of Samsung, which recently unveiled its "Infinity-O" screen that features a small hole in the upper left corner that houses the front camera.

However, although Samsung was the first to announce the concept, Huawei could be the first to market it, with its smartphone without glasses that should make its official debut in December.

Samsung is expected to launch its Infinity-O display technology on the so-called Galaxy A8S, but it has not yet confirmed when it will be announced. The technology should also feature on the Galaxy S10, but this will not be demonstrated until the Mobile World Congress next year.

Huawei and Samsung also go with their foldable smartphones; According to reports, the Chinese firm plans to launch the "first" Bendy smartphone in early 2019, before the official unveiling of Samsung Galaxy Flex. μ
