With Samsung apparently having tried to develop a key-less design for the , a recent trademark application caught our eye. In South Korea, the company has filed paperwork for the mark Digital Bezel.
Samsung Digital Bezel
Late last week, Samsung filed an application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) for the trademark Digital Bezel. The application’s description is very broad, providing very little information about the device or application the mark applies to. That said, we can not help but be reminded of the alleged key-less design Samsung was testing for its upcoming Galaxy Note 10.
Back in March, we heard about a next-generation Note device that no longer has physical hardware keys. Even only a few weeks ago, a made the rounds, only to be debunked by two of showing a Galaxy Note 10 with traditional physical keys. Nevertheless, it is inevitable that Samsung will release devices in the future with pressure or touch sensitive keys replacing physical buttons. This is where we imagine a Digital Bezel comes in, being a bezel with such added functionality.
Of course, the key phrase here is ‘we imagine’. Samsung’s Digital Bezel might well turn out to be something else entirely. With the Note 10 actually having a normal bezel, we are not likely to find out more when that phone launches in August. For now, we’ll just file this under ‘things we are eager to learn more about’.
