US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru.

Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Xiaomi’s new concept phone has waterfall display on all four sides, no ports

In 2019, Vivo showed off its Apex concept portless smartphone with a dual-curved display. Xiaomi has gone a step further and unveiled a concept smartphone with a portless design and a quad-curved waterfall display. This means that the smartphone has a curved waterfall display on all four sides, including the left, right, top, and bottom edges. Xiaomi’s concept smartphone gets a port-free unibody design with the display covering the entire front panel.

“The 88-degree hyper quad-curved screen design allows visual interfaces to flow over the phone’s surface like water. Almost the entire frame of the smartphone is covered by screen, while its body carries no ports or buttons, bringing forward the futuristic unibody no-port design,” Xiaomi said in a press release.

The company says it used a 3D bonding process to attach an 88-degree quad-curved glass panel to a flexible display. To bend the display at 88-degree on all four sides, hot bending under 800-degree Celcius high temperature and pressure was used.

According to Xiaomi, has patented 46 self-developed technologies. Further, the smartphone gets third-generation under-display cameras, wireless charging, eSIM chips, and pressure-sensitive touch sensors.

Do note that this is a concept smartphone and it looks unlikely that it will be made available more widely anytime soon.

This is not the first time we have seen Xiaomi experimenting with new display designs on its smartphones. Prior to this, Xiaomi unveiled its Mi Mix Alpha concept smartphone with a 5G surround display, where the entire body was covered by one display that extends from front to back.

The highlight is that the sides even and the back is wrapped in display on the Mi Mix Alpha. It uses a 108-megapixels main camera sensor on the rear along with a 20-megapixels ultra wide-angle camera, and a 12-megapixels telephoto camera.
