Techniques to Minimize Bezels

Mr. Cheng said that the company is planning to introduce five new techniques to minimize bezel size and efficiently place the earphone, camera, and fingerprint scanner. Though the company has not disclosed what exactly the technologies are, we can expect the selfie camera to be housed in a tiny retractable module, just like the Vivo Apex, which slides out when the user switches to the front camera in the camera app.

For the earpiece, the Z5 might use bone-conduction audio just like the original Xiaomi Mi Mix, but the company has not revealed what exactly the “new technologies” are.

Fingerprint Scanner and Release Date

On-screen fingerprint scanners are becoming a thing and the Z5 is highly likely to have such a fingerprint scanner to compete with the upcoming flagships that will certainly have this technology. It is expected to launch by June this year, that’s when more info will become available.
