Phones with "all screen" designs will soon be the standard in the smartphone industry, at least equally far every bit flagship phones are concerned. Apple recently hopped on the bandwagon, and Google has followed suit with the Pixel two XL. Samsung impressed us all with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, and LG has too been playing the bezel-less game for some fourth dimension with devices similar the LG G6 and, more recently, the LG V30. Even Huawei has such a device in the upcoming Mate x, and an image leakster Evleaks had made shows how the top bezel of each of these phones compares with Samsung's Galaxy Note eight.

It's all about the bezels

LG and Huawei have gotten the hang of keeping the bezels uniform and minimal, while the Pixel 2 XL takes up a bit more space, possibly due to the forepart-facing stereo speakers. Apple has clearly taken the wrong route with that unsightly notch ruining the feel on the iPhone X and putting the kibosh on the company's "all-screen design." The Milky way Note eight's top bezel may not be every bit tiny as LG or Huawei's device, merely hey, it does take a higher-resolution front camera compared to the V30 and an iris scanner to accommodate.

We don't just say this because nosotros're a Samsung fan site, only nosotros think the company'due south take on phones with virtually no bezels is the all-time there is, with its manufacture-leading AMOLED displays adding to the charm. The paradigm below doesn't make that clear, though, then it's just a style to see the kind of approach different companies are taking to increase screen-to-trunk ratios. Take a look, and let usa know what you think!
