        "summary": "Chinese smartphone vendors, particularly Oppo, are reportedly adopting the futuristic \"Liquid Glass Display\" concept ahead of Apple's planned 2027 special edition iPhone, which aims to create a seamless, bezel-less screen using advanced OLED technology from Samsung. This move could allow Chinese firms to preempt Apple in delivering next-generation display experiences, though high production costs and fluctuating component markets pose challenges. The imitation extends to software interfaces, with Android systems mimicking iOS's visual effects, highlighting intensifying competition in the global tech sector.",
        "content": "<p>Several Chinese smartphone vendors are reportedly beginning to adopt\nthe futuristic \u201cLiquid Glass Display\u201d screen concept, which previously\nonly appeared in leaks about the iPhone. According to various reports,\nApple is preparing a special edition iPhone for 2027 to celebrate its\n20th anniversary. The prospective iPhone for next year is said to\nfeature the Liquid Glass Display concept that curves on all four sides.\nThis technology is expected to create an effect where the bezel nearly\n\u201cdisappears\u201d, making the screen appear completely full and seamless,\nwithout interruptions. That design is not just an ordinary curved screen\nlike those already on the market. Leaks indicate that Apple is combining\noptical techniques such as light refraction and special structures to\ncreate a visual illusion. With this, the screen edges appear to blend\nwith the body. In addition, Apple is reportedly using a new OLED\ntechnology from Samsung, namely COE (Color Filter on Encapsulation), to\nmake the screen thinner and brighter. However, before the device truly\narrives, Chinese vendors are reportedly moving first, especially Oppo.\nThe Shenzhen, China-based vendor is rumoured to be preparing a flagship\nphone with a similar screen design, namely a flat surface with slight\ncurvature on all four sides. The goal is the same: to create a\nbezel-less screen effect that feels \u201cfloating\u201d when viewed. If Chinese\nvendors succeed in releasing a device with this concept first, they have\nthe potential to \u201cpreempt\u201d Apple in delivering the next-generation\nscreen experience. Nevertheless, the biggest challenge may lie in\nproduction costs. Screen technology with extreme thin bezel effects is\nestimated to be expensive, especially amid fluctuating component market\nconditions like DRAM. It remains to be seen whether other vendors will\nfollow this step, or instead wait for Apple to release its official\nversion first, as compiled by KompasTekno from WCCFTech. Not only from\nthe hardware side, but the software approach is also being imitated.\nSeveral vendors have already begun introducing \u201cLiquid Glass\u201d-style\ninterface effects in their Android systems, complete with transparent\nanimations and iPhone-like visual effects. Apple itself was the first to\nlaunch the Liquid Glass interface last year. This represents a major\nvisual overhaul integrated across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, tvOS\n26, and watchOS 26.<\/p>",
