10 best bezel-less smartphones

Following the leading innovative brands, manufacturers of the most budget devices have also taken up the creation of frameless developments. This is how the Wize Q3 model appeared - the first frameless smartphone costing less than 5,000 rubles, the most affordable and simply the best in this price segment. In addition to a pleasant price, the obvious advantages of this TOP participant are such basic, but at the same time important characteristics, such as lightness and compactness. Smartphone Prestigio weighs only 137 grams. The height of the device with a diagonal of almost 5 inches does not exceed 136 millimeters, and the width is 65 millimeters.Thus, choosing Prestigio, the buyer receives a practical budget frameless device on the Android system.

According to reviews, the key advantages of the smartphone also included an 8-megapixel main camera worthy for the budget version, separate slots for two SIM cards and a memory card, and a good battery. But despite the innovative design, it's still a cheap phone with basic features and a mediocre processor.

Frameless smartphone with a diagonal of 6.19 inches is rightfully considered the best budget solution and a good balance of cost, design, quality and features. From most other budget smartphones with a large screen without frames, this model is distinguished, first of all, by the current version of the operating system - Android 8.1, which is rarely found in such inexpensive devices. In addition to the recent Android, the development of Doogee has received some other advantages that are usually characteristic only of devices of the middle and premium classes. Among them is a 5500 mAh battery, thanks to which this budget smartphone can go without recharging for up to several days.

At the same time, it is equipped with scratch-resistant glass, 4G LTE, GLONASS system and a fingerprint scanner, which allows us to call it the most functional state employee. Also, the best features of the model include a large bright screen with a compact bezel and a small insert around the camera a la iPhone, thanks to which the budget novelty looks very impressive and expensive.

At a cost of less than 20,000 rubles, this TOP participant strikes the imagination not only with a good value for money, but also with a colorful record-breaking large screen with a diagonal of as much as 6.9 inches. The Xiaomi bezel-less screen is not just huge, it is the largest screen on the market today. In addition to size, the phablet is also simply luxurious for a budget of up to 20,000 rubles with a display resolution of 1080 by 2160 pixels. Therefore, the quality and colors of the screen have also become the strength of the Mi Max 3. An equally important parameter for most modern people is the smartphone's camera, and Xiaomi will not disappoint here either. The 12-megapixel dual camera lets you take sharp pictures with pleasing colors and shoot video at a resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels, as well as slow-motion video at 1280 by 720 pixels.

At the same time, in the reviews, among the advantages of Mi Max 3, buyers often note the high quality of materials and assembly, thoughtfulness, and pleasant ergonomics. The smartphone fits comfortably in the hand, quickly responds to commands and holds a charge for up to three days.

Relating to the middle class, this smartphone, however, has surpassed many competitors worth more than 20,000 rubles both in originality and novelty, and in filling. The most striking and noticeable feature of this TOP participant was a truly frameless screen without a single cutout.The resourceful manufacturer hid a 16-megapixel retractable front camera in the body of the device, thanks to which it is hidden before taking a selfie, and does not take up space on the front side. This allows you to get the most out of the bright 6.59-inch screen. Honor's main photos are also worthy of praise. The rear triple camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels, according to reviews, is one of the best among relatively budget options.

Another pleasant surprise from the Chinese brand was 128 GB of internal memory and 6 GB of RAM. These figures undoubtedly make the Honor 9X Premium stand out from the crowd. Also, reviewers often note good performance, good battery capacity and very fast charging.

The Xiaomi brand has become famous as a flagship killer and does not seek to give up ground, as evidenced by the creation of the Mi Note 10 Pro smartphone. Of course, hardly anyone will call this device a budget one, but, you see, it is quite affordable for its capabilities and filling. First of all, this is the only smartphone that captures essential photos and videos with a total of 5 rear cameras, each of which has a specific purpose - from portrait mode and macro photography to ultra-high resolution at 108 megapixels. This is the only solution with such a rich range of cameras today. At the same time, the smartphone is good not only for taking pictures, but also for recording video, which is distinguished by liveliness and room for experimentation thanks to support for 4K resolution and shooting speeds up to 960 frames per second.

Also, the best aspects of the smartphone, according to reviews, include a high-quality scratch-resistant AMOLED screen, a 5260 mAh battery and 256 GB, which are chic for its price. Fans of innovation will appreciate the scanner integrated into the display.

The P30 Pro is Huawei's acclaimed flagship, packed with many advanced features, including water resistance, support for not only fast charging but also wireless charging, and an excellent storage capacity of up to 256GB. In addition, the smartphone received an infrared port, which is useful for controlling electronics with an infrared port, and a recognizable design with a beautiful gradient at the back and a huge screen without the slightest hint of side frames. At the same time, Huawei pleases with high-quality and fairly durable materials – the body is made of metal and tempered glass. Thanks to these features, this smartphone has seriously competed with the flagships of more expensive and well-known brands and has become a very good option for those who want to get all the best features without overpaying.

A special advantage of the frameless device is a very clear 40-megapixel camera with 5x zoom. In some reviews, it is even compared with a full-fledged camera. The smartphone is also valued for its good speed and decent autonomy.

The release of Samsung's new product with a giant 6.9-inch screen without frames and bangs graced the beginning of the year for many fans of the brand. Despite the exorbitant cost, the smartphone is rapidly gaining the sympathy of users, because it has received the best features for a number of important criteria. This TOP participant was one of the first to receive the latest Android 10 operating system. Also among its advantages is excellent performance, because the company equipped the device with a fast 8-core processor and the best amount of RAM - 12 GB. In addition, the Galaxy S20 Ultra model is enhanced with stereo speakers and impresses with incredibly clear selfies thanks to the front camera with a whopping 40 megapixels.

The smartphone is especially appreciated for its ultra-smooth operation, a huge 7-inch screen and good sound. Nevertheless, there were some shortcomings, which in the reviews often include a very fast charge consumption, especially in 120 Hz mode, as well as imperfect camera focus and not too big a gap in photo quality compared to previous Samsung developments.

This Japanese creation has become one of the strongest representatives of the category. The Sony Xperia 1 impresses with a bezel-less display of the best quality. After all, its resolution was 3840 by 1644 pixels. Also, the smartphone boasts a record density of dots per inch with an indicator of 643. At the same time, the display is reliably protected from scratches. All this allows us to call this TOP participant the best in terms of the screen, or at least one of the best.

Sony's other selling point is the excellent camera. Although the manufacturer does not attribute astronomical performance to it, experts and happy owners of Xperia 1 highly appreciate the detail of photos taken with a smartphone, praise the saturation and naturalness of colors, stabilization, and RAW support. Thanks to this format, you can get a raw photo and perform post-processing to your taste. Also, according to reviews, Sony pleasantly surprises with powerful sound and autonomy.

Perhaps there is no more desirable smartphone than the iPhone. But if before the Cupertino people were quite conservative in their views on the design of devices, then in 2017 the company finally decided to release a frameless iPhone. iPhone X was a real breakthrough for the company. Yes, in the reviews, users complain about the shutdown in the cold. Yes, the new iOS 11 slows down. And yes, the device and accessories for it are sold for crazy money. But the overall quality and new impressions of communicating with the phone outweigh all reasonable arguments.

Screen 5.8 inch, OLED, resolution 2436x1125 pixels. The quality is just great. The bezels are minimal on all sides, but there is a “monobrow” on top that hides all the sensors and cameras. Apple has introduced FaceID technology, which can read the user's face. This is used to unlock the device, create animated emoji, and more. The camera has also been upgraded. There are no complaints about the quality of shooting - the indicators are the best on the market. Finally, it is worth noting the appearance of the wireless charging function.

Elite apple development has become a full-fledged leader of frameless smartphones, because it is the most stylish and stable member of the TOP, distinguished by reliability, excellent quality and outstanding functionality. While most premium devices can withstand only a little moisture, iPhone is IP68 water-resistant, which means it can withstand short-term immersion in water. The Apple smartphone system is no less reliable than protection. Thanks to the latest version of iOS, a powerful processor and fast response, the device effortlessly copes with even the most resource-intensive applications.

Many reviewers are very pleased that Apple has finally equipped its development with two slots for SIM cards. In addition, everyone praises the smartphone for excellent loud sound from stereo speakers, speed, pressure recognition, a huge spectacular 6.5-inch screen, and very good cameras that do an excellent job even at night. An equally important advantage was the increase in battery capacity.
