HTC Ocean World's First Button Less Smartphone in 2017

Remember HTC Ocean? probably the coolest leak we’ve seen over the past years, maybe even cooler than the latest real HTC devices. The buttonless phone is back, this time rendered by Techconfigurations, with a dual camera in tow. There’s also a 3D video render when the break.

The core of the design looks impressed by HTC 10 and therefore the metal is formed in similar fashion. I have to mention that the twin cameras at the rear seem rather “brutal” taking off of the metallike shell like that. They’ll also leave a immense dent and mark on a glass table if you drag the phone on it… i suppose. HTC Ocean has an edge to edge show and doubtless arching screen edges to the aspect.

A special contextual bit frame is supposed to eliminate the requirement for buttons of every kind on the edges. Swipes and other gestures can replace them. Swipe down to lower volume and up to extend it on the side, for example. Such swipes may conjointly be employed in bicycle-built-for-two with the camera for instance, for zoom or other tweaks. The lower side options a terribly attention-grabbing integration of the USB kind C port, somehow highlighted with an additional little bit of metal…

Color choices ar shown here, in gold, silver and black. Sounds interesting, but execution can be key. There are several things that may fail with swiping on those sides.
