Motorola is working on two 5G phones with 90Hz waterfall displays

Posted: 06 Feb 2020 05:46 AM PST

Motorola is working on two phones with "waterfall" displays - that's the common name for displays with extreme side curvature. Still, judging by the photos, the display isn't quite as curved as the one on the Huawei Mare 30 Pro or vivo Nex 3 5G. This leaves enough room for a hardware volume rocker on the side, great news for those who think Huawei's double tap solution doesn't work particularly well. The punch hole for the selfie camera in the upper front seems smaller than the one on the One Vision and One Action. Anyway, it seems that this 6.67" waterfall display with 1080p resolution...

The companies cut the prices in order to get more sales before the new models steal the spotlight.
