Xiaomi announces Quad Curved Waterfall Display - John Ivy is happy

I think this is more or less what Mr. Ivy wanted - A slab of glass with no buttons. It does look really good, but I would have liked it to have a port.

Check out the video. Some nice PR there:

urrgh. Waterfall displays are great for demo, but a nightmare to use. And Android never able to have decent touch/palm rejections. Even Samsung gave up on their "Edge" displays and opt for flat again. I'm guessing the Chinese will take time to catch up as they really like the over the top demos.

As a concept demo device or a piece of art, it’s lovely. And it’s impressive that it can be made at all. But that poor phone wouldn’t survive a week with me. Otterbox is successful for a reason.

Samsung has already taken curves as far as they can be taken with real human beings. And they’re back to flat again. That pretty much says it all for me.

We’ve all moved on to seeing how we can break and complain about foldable displays now. 😜
