A surprising design of the ZTE Grand S EXT smartphone, which appeared on RedDot can announce not only a new flagship of the Chinese company that offers the illusion of flexibility of the display, but also the NMT composite technology.
ZTE Grand S EXT exposes on renders a bent housing giving the illusion of a curved display, but when you look closer it is easy to see that the display has a completely flat surface, while the rest of the structure is bent. It's hard to see here some ergonomics but the design perfectly emphasizes that what is worth paying attention to new materials used to construct a smartphone.

NMT or Nano Molding Technology is a way for permanent combination of plastic and metal. In addition to thinner, cheaper and more durable housings of smartphones, the technology is to allow for the elimination of interference during calls through excessive shielding of GSM antenna. The owner of the technology is the Chenming company, ensuring that the plastic and metal composite, in which the connection is not based on bonding, only moulding will have a positive impact on durability and performance.
Does it sound impressive, isn't it? Have a look therefore, how this kind of connection performs in practice. The quality seems to me worthy of attention:

If NMT came to smartphones manufacturing in a full scope and it was connected with solutions Dragontrail or Gorilla Glass, plus the latest technology to protect the display from strokes – there would begin a new era of almost indestructible smartphones. I wonder if the manufacturers really care about such durability.
