Smartphones have now become a part of our lives and we cannot ignore them anymore. One of the most vital components in a mobile is the display. The smartphone display has improved immensely in the past couple of years. Now, most phones have Full HD display and we are seeing more and more Quad HD (2K) displays and a few 4K displays as well. However, the smartphone design is also changing slowly. Now, they come with very less bezel, which means most of the smartphone is occupied by the display only. Bezel-less mobiles with high screen-to-body ratio are not very popular yet but more and more smartphone makers have started innovating and thus are making awesome futuristic concept smartphones. These devices are not mainstream yet but the future is bezel-less. Also, if the screen-to-body ratio is very high, we literally won’t have real estate to hold the phone. If we are bound the hold the display while using the phone on a day-to-day purpose, there will be too many accidental touches on the screen. So the software has to be adjusted to eliminate these accidental touches as well. Anyway, we have made a curated list of best bezel-less phones that are currently available in the market, both globally and in India.
This bezel-less segment is in no particular order like most of our other listicles. So without any further ado, let’s get started now.

Must Read: Best Waterproof Phones
We come to an end of our top 10 best bezel-less phones from around the globe and India. Most of them are currently made by Chinese smartphone manufacturers and are available for purchase worldwide via third-party retailers in China. However, many of these smartphones are now being sold in India as well. The bezel-less technology will surely improve in the near future and become more mainstream. Most good smartphones in the future will have a bezel-less design for sure. We will keep on updating this list periodically so that we can list the latest mobiles with awesome bezel-less design and functionality. If you come across any, then let us know in the comments section. Also, check out our other articles below.
You need to be kidding me to not include the Sony’s Xperia XA dual that is best looking phone I have ever seen, the most compact 5 inch phone breadthwise with almost bezel-less sides with screen to body ratio of 71.3% and also affordable within budget, 15k in India
Hi Tahir,
Thank you for the valuable comment. The list is not based on phones available in India only. It is a global list and we have only included the best bezel-less smartphones. We will surely make a list of best bezel-less phones that are only available in India in the near future. Stay tuned to BSU for more. Thank you.
Regards,
Bibek
It’s a very good and detailed news.. but seems that Doogee Mix is missing from the list.. it will be definitely the most affordable!
Yes sir, but it is not easily available for purchase in India. We have curated a list of best bezel-less smartphones that can be purchased in India.
In reply to Tahir Khan’s comment, you said its global list. Here you are saying that can be purchased in India. Have you sold off brains???
Hey Anoop,
Sorry for the confusion. When we wrote the list, it was based on the global list but as we started ranking in India, we changed the list accordingly but kept couple of phones which are very popular globally. Hope you understand.
To answer your last question, no we have not sold off our brains 🙂
Dear
Could you please update more Regarding the CHinese vs Non-Chinese Phone in Edge to Edge technology?
Hi Ambuj,
We have curated a list of bezel-less phones that are currently available in the Indian market barring the Xiaomi Mi MIX and Essential Phone (PH-1), since they are very popular.
Coming to your question, there is nothing like Chinese vs Non-Chinese Phone in Edge to Edge technology. It is the same for most of the phones but the Xiaomi Mi MIX clones available in China (Eg: Doogee Mix) do not come with a high quality display. They look great but lack quality.
Do tell us if you would like to know anything else.
Very good job sir…..

Thanks for the appreciation, Aziz! Hope to bring you better content in the future.
where is micromax canvas infinity does it too have bezel less display like the others ?
Yeah, it has a bezel-less display but it is not a good phone and hence did not feature in our list.
Hi,
Could you please suggest me a bezel less with in 4.7 to 5 inch as phone dimensions
Hi Rahul,
The whole point of bezel-less phones are having big displays in a small footprint. You can purchase phones with narrow side bezels having 4.7-inch to 5-inch displays. You can check out Xiaomi and Sony smartphones as they mostly have narrow bezels.
Vivi V7 plus is missing in the list though it is not good phone as far as price is concerned
Yes, that is why it is not mentioned in this list.
