Images compare it with iPhone 17 Pro

Will this technology reach future phones?
At the moment, TECNO has introduced the device only as a concept smartphone. The company has not confirmed whether the technology will be commercialised or when it could appear in a mass-market product.
Still, the announcement suggests TECNO is exploring ways to bring this display technology to its future smartphones. Bezels on smartphones have become thinner with every new generation.
