The stunning world of bezel-less phonesPhones that have no borders around their displays make us say hnnnnnnnnnng.
Why are bezel-less phones so appealing? After all, it just means that these phones have displays that run up right to the edges. Functionally, it doesn't add anything (though the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge does have some tricks, it doesn't necessarily need to be borderless to have them). And sometimes, having no bezel increases your chance of accidentally touching the display while you hold the phone, causing more unintentional taps and swipes.But even with these gripes, we can't help but be drawn to these phones. Perhaps because they look so futuristic -- especially since the overall aesthetic of anything "future-tech" is always super-thin, super-sleek and super-minimalist. As such, having no bezel or even a barely-there-bezel just looks damn sexy.Though the feature hasn't reached mainstream popularity just yet, there have been a handful of handsets that have aspired to the look.
