Xiaomi’s 15 series has been finally launched. The phone’s cell is going to start from March 11. Meanwhile, discussions about Xiaomi 16 have started. However, it will be too early that Xiaomi 16 is being discussed. But the market of rumors has intensified. A new claim has been made about the design of the phone. Also, this time the design of the phone can be quite different. Because there can be a lot of changes in it. Ming-Chi Kuo has made a new claim on this on X.
Xiaomi 16 Pro will have 3D-printed frame?
According to a new leak, the Xiaomi 16 Pro can be given a 3D printed frame. This information has been shared by Ming-Chi Kuo, analyst of TF Securities International. According to KUO, Xiaomi 16 Pro will have a metal mid-frame, which will be prepared with 3D printing technology of Chinese supplier Bright Laser Technologies.
What will the phone benefit from 3D printing?
Kuo says that the light and hollow design of the 3D-printed frame will help reduce the weight of the phone. Also, this will also improve thermal performance, that is, the phone will give good performance for a long time without more heating. The special thing is that this will not affect the strength of the phone.
Some challenges may also be seen in front of 3D printing-
However, 3D printing technology is not so easy. It is made layer wise, which takes more time for production making. Also, this technology also proves a bit expensive. Because its manufacturing technology also costs higher.
3D technology was used earlier also
3D-printed smartphone frames are not coming for the first time. In the early 2000s, Sharp launched a first glass-free 3D display phone called Mova Sh251IS. However, this technology was for some time and used to work only on some special angles. Right now technology has gone far ahead. For example, 3D displays without glasses are being given in devices such as Zte Nubia Pad 3D.
How long can 3D printed smartphone frames come?
However, 3D-printed frames may take time to adopt. This technology is not as complex as making glass-free 3D displays, but there are some challenges to bring it into production on a large scale.
