Lenovo hypes up an all-screen (no, really) flagship smartphone

Lenovo

The smartphone hype train is reaching full speed for a smartphone from-believe it or not-Lenovo, which has been teasing an all-screen, notchless smartphone on Chinese social media. People throw around the term "all-screen" far too often, but here Lenovo truly is promising the ultimate smartphone design. Pictures posted by Lenovo VP Chang Cheng promise a phone that-aside from a minimal ring around the display-is totally screen.

Cheng says the design was enabled by "four technological breakthroughs" and "18 patented technologies." What the post doesn't say is what, exactly, happened to the front-facing camera.
