The Concept Phone has a 6.45-inch Ultra Crowd display that is bent to 120 degrees angle on both sides and is almost incompatible with the bezel.Like last year's phone, this time Epix 2020 has no port and physical buttons have been replaced by virtual pressure sensing buttons.The company claims to have a 16-megapixel selfie camera inside the phone's screen called the under-screen camera and eliminates the need for a notch or popup camera.
