After the release of iPhone X last year, the former Liu Haiping + rear vertical double shot was everyone's 'dislike, ridicule', but this does not affect Apple's dominant position in the mobile phone industry, especially since 2018, Liu Haiping has become an Android mobile phone.

Maybe, in the near future, you will see an Android phone designed by Liu Hai for both forehead and chin.

It is reported that ZTE 'Iceberg' uses front and rear glass materials (connected by seamless glass connection technology), double bangs are located directly above and below the mobile phone, where the upper bangs is the front camera, the distance and brightness sensor, and the lower bangs are The second speaker. Overall, the value of ZTE 'Iceberg' is still good, and it is expected to be available as early as 2019.
