Xiaomi has filed a patent with World Intellectual Patent Organisation (WIPO). First reported by LetsGoDigital, the patent image shows a completely bezeless screen with rounded edges. The display is rounded through edges on right and left, like in Samsung Galaxy S9, but additionally it is also rounded through top and bottom edges, which is first time ever in any smartphone. The patent image shows that the rounded screen runs upto half of the thickness of the phone.

No buttons are visible in the image. However, a USB type-C port can be seen at the bottom. A dual rear camera setup with LED flash can also be seen at the back. The image clearly depicts that there is no room for notch or even a punch hole. So, it is still unknown where the selfie camera would fit, or whether it would be provided or not.
The rounded edges on all four sides with no bezels will give a true full screen dispaly experience. It will significantly increase the screen-to-body ratio like never before.
