ZTE new phones leaked have a different sliding design

A couple of concept ZTE smartphones have been leaked via the IF Design website, revealing designs hitherto unseen in any mainstream smartphone.

As can be seen from the images, both the Axon S and Axon V have the same underlying design language, but while the former comes with a horizontal slider to house the front and rear cameras, the latter has a small protruding section on the side to house the selfie camera.

The unusual designs allow both devices to offer essentially true bezel-less displays, which are said to be 6.8-inches in size, with a 21:9 aspect ratio.

There's no word on whether ZTE will get either of these devices into production, but it will certainly be interesting to see if there will be a market for smartphones with such distinct designs.
