The conceptual [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/9a) Pixel Vector smartphone has been designed by Ferdinand Aichriedler as a device that cleverly solves the problem of notches and holes that interrupt the front of most devices on the market. The smartphone features a display with rounded corners that allow the device to hide a camera lens along with 3D facial recognition technology to help highlight a screen that contains no interruptions. This design still enables the device to maintain a slim bezel, while keeping essential technology incorporated into the smartphone.

The conceptual Google Pixel Vector smartphone is rendered in several simply color choices including one with a fabric exterior and eliminates a multi-lens system on the rear in favor of a single camera.
