📱 Best bezel-less smartphones for 2020

Agree, any limitation of the good causes a feeling of extreme irritation. For example, you are watching a video on a smartphone, and it is limited by the scope of the gadget. It's a shame Of course it's a shame. That is why frameless phones are becoming more common now. If you also have a desire to purchase such a smartphone, but you do not know which company is better to buy, this article will help you with your choice. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you an overview of the best frameless smartphones for 2020.

Backstory first

From the very beginning, when a mobile, or as it was then called, a cell phone, appeared, the problem of a harmonious, balanced placement of the screen and buttons controlling the phone in its body arose. The increase in the size of the screen naturally caused a directly proportional increase in the phone itself, because along its edges there were still frames, under it there was a keyboard of buttons. Even when the era is "gone" push-button telephones , the problem of the proportionality of the case with the screen size remains. After all, it was necessary to place at least a few navigation buttons, a speaker, a front camera, and then a fingerprint sensor. Samsung was the first to solve almost all of the above problems. It was she who was able to reduce the side frames to a minimum, replacing the physical buttons with virtual ones. It is not surprising that after the South Korean giant with its Samsung Galaxy Nexus, not wanting to lag behind, released its frameless model Apple. Its iPhone X model has received the best reviews from experts, bloggers and ordinary users. After all, what ensures the popularity of Apple models Of course, innovative technologies. iPhone X is a vivid example of this, the manufacturer decided to completely abandon the fingerprint sensor, replacing it with recognition of the owner by the face. This solution made it possible to remove the sensor by reducing the frame on the sides, top, bottom of the device.

Since then, many models without a frame have appeared, but the general principles of their construction, the pros and cons of such a solution have remained unchanged.

Advantages:

• Larger image size compared to similar phones of the same size;
• Such models have great technological equipment.

Disadvantages:

• The average price of "frameless" is higher than that of regular phones;
• Inconvenience of handling, since accidental pressing on the side of the phone is possible.

The latter drawback is especially critical in our weather conditions, when we spend most of the time in gloves or mittens.

It should also be mentioned that such smartphones are conventionally divided into two categories:

1. Devices that have a small, but still a frame;
2. Completely frameless models, the image of which goes over the edges of the phone.

Main technical, functional characteristics

For the most part, the technical data of frame phones are no different from simple ones, i.e. selection criteria for them:

• What is the size of the display, the manufacturing technology of its matrix;
• Processor performance - the indicator depends on the type of chip, the number of cores, and their bit depth;
• The amount of operative (RAM), physical (ROM) memory - are responsible for the number of installed applications, operational interaction with them;
• Number and resolution in megapixels (MP), cameras, rear, front;
• Capacity of the storage battery (joint stock bank);
• Availability of wireless communication modules (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, 5G);
• Operating system - the fundamental software that runs the phone, its applications, which are downloaded from an official resource, store or from third-party sources;
• The presence of slots, connectors for a memory card, SIM card, headphones, joysticks (gamepads);
• The case, its moisture, dust, shockproof. The recommendations of leading experts and ordinary buyers are to choose a frameless model with good shock resistance and moisture resistance, since frameless phones often get out of hand.

How to choose a phone with the parameters you need

Before choosing a frameless phone with certain parameters, you should determine your selection criteria. If your future purchase is intended to conduct social networks, with photographing and the subsequent publication of photos, videos, the main parameters to which you should pay attention are the number of MP cameras, the amount of physical memory, the presence of slots for an external memory card.

The simplest models are those that for surfing the Web, they only need wireless modules operating in 4G, 5G formats and high autonomy.

The most demanding on resources are phones for games. They must have a high-performance processor, a proprietary video accelerator (analogous to a PC video card), a large amount of RAM, ROM, they must have support for gamepads, and a large battery. In addition to all of the above, advanced models for gamers are compatible with a virtual reality headset for gaming in 3D games.

However, you can purchase a frameless device that meets modern requirements, which will not lose its relevance for a long time, at a relatively low price.

First of all, you should pay attention to the matrix, modern devices are made using Amoled or OLED technology, which replaced the outdated IPS matrix. They consume less energy, but some of them, in the opinion of buyers, have an unnatural, saturated picture color. You should not chase the large display diagonal, because models larger than 4-5 inches are inconvenient to hold with one hand. In addition, the larger the screen size and resolution, the faster the battery will run out. First of all, pay your attention to the manufacturing company. After all, ordering online through any site of a gadget of a little-known company is almost certainly a waste of your money. The best manufacturers of premium bezel-less phones:

• Apple;
• Samsung.

Firms in a lower class:

• Huawei;
• Xiaomi;
• LG;
• Lenovo;
• HTC;
• Sony;
• Prestigio.

It is these companies and their popular models that are the key to long, high-quality work of the "frameless".

Apple, for example, taught its flagship to shoot at night in a way that others are unable to photograph even in good lighting. This is achieved by two solutions, a "tee" of the camera, which includes a wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, telephoto sensor, as well as the world's best software. The latter splits the night frame into sections, each of which is processed separately, after which they are glued together. In addition, cameras, rear, front, are capable of shooting 4K video. Many people think that having an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, the need for even a "DSLR" simply disappears. Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max also supports multi-work of demanding applications, which is achieved by a powerful, fast processor running iOS. Alas, the only drawback of the model is associated with the same operating system. Its closed nature often severely curtails the functionality of the entire range of Apple products.
