Coolpad Dazen X7, perhaps the first smartphone completely made of glass

More powerful processors, higher resolution screens, small new design … while big companies struggle to outdo each other in the European market for mobile telephony, Chinese manufacturers are waging their peculiar battle: surprise users with smartphones revolutionaries. As already disclosed in this occasion, the Asian manufacturer Coolpad could be working on a smartphone completely made of glass. This smartphone would respond to name Coolpad Dazen X7, far from being a futuristic concept, its official launch would be scheduled for January 8, 2015.

The information on this new Coolpad Dazen X7 has appeared at the time in which Han Geng, a popular star of Asian pop music, has published the social network Weibo a photograph that appears holding a prototype of what appears to be glass smartphone. Photography has not taken long to travel around the world, and from websites like the American site GizmoChina have been quick to ensure we could be talking about the first smartphone completely made of glass.

Now if we apply common sense to this information, the first thing we can deduce is that the final design Coolpad Dazen X7 not be exactly as shown in the prototype of photography. First, Coolpad needs to incorporate in Coolpad Dazen X7 all standard components of any smartphone (processor, camera, screen, many circuits, etc.), which automatically rule out the possibility that this phone will be transparent.

Rather, as indicated from some American media as GSMDome, what we are seeing is actually a prototype of a smartphone that could be made of some kind of mix of metal and glass. Perhaps positions to speculate, the entire front of Coolpad Dazen X7 will be made of glass (including the screen and sides), while in the rear will be a metal layer in which all internal components of the mobile are hidden.

Or even put to speculate further, the Coolpad Dazen X7 could incorporate a metal frame in which all the components inside the cell, so it would house the rest of the design itself would be completely transparent. In fact, if we look closely at the picture we can see what appears to be a metal frame around the phone.

Even assuming that this information belongs only to an advertising campaign Coolpad on previous occasions and have found that Asian manufacturers are able to surprise us with designs big . The most recent example is the Vivo X5 Max, a smartphone with high-end features (screen 5.5-inch 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor eight-core, 2 gigabytes of RAM, etc.) that hides all technical specifications within a casing having a thickness of 4.75 mm so only; ie, we are talking about the world’s thinnest smartphone.

In summary, we look forward to next January 8 to see if Coolpad ventures to officially present the new Coolpad Dazen X7.
