Port-Free Phones Introduced in China

The trend of making phone designs simpler, smoother slabs took another step this week as two different phones were announced in China that have no external physical features other than the rear camera. They both eschew a USB port in favor of wireless charging and alternate data connections. E-SIM technology removes the need for a SIM card slot and the fingerprint reader is embedded in the main display. They use touch sensors and haptics in place of traditional side buttons, and output sound through the entire screen surface, removing the need for any speaker opening. Like many newer phones, they lack a 3.5mm headset jack. These particular models are primarily aimed at China, but the port-free trend seems likely to reach other markets this year.
