Lenovo’s online-only brand recently showcased a smartphone prototype with a transparent display. The brand is popularly known as Zuk and the smartphone is named Zuk Z1.

Lenovo’s transparent display prototype phone is seen to rival other brands like LG and Samsung who have in the past launched similar prototypes in the form of foldable Youm displays, transparent displays, and bezel-less displays. Since, this is a prototype, it is not expected to hit the markets anytime soon. Despite the fact that it has functions similar to a smartphone such as displaying images, making phone calls, play music, and more, and features an Android-like interface, yet the technology required to refine transparent displays for market sale is not widely available. So consumers will have to wait for a year or so to see these transparent smartphones in their pockets.
