In 2017, the mobile phone market is so big that it is sometimes difficult to choose a model.

Going to the store and looking at the goods, you perfectly understand that all phones have large RAM, approximately the same front and main cameras.

I want something extraordinary, so that there is an opportunity to stand out among millions of people.

Now there is such an opportunity. Not so long ago, mobile phone manufacturers introduced modern world new models of gadgets - frameless phones.

What is this technique? This is an ordinary mobile phone, which has an enlarged touch screen, and also this mobile phone has no frames.

Such equipment looks really nice and dignified. In two thousand and seventeen, frameless phones began to be released a large number of companies.

But which one to choose? What should you pay attention to? You will receive answers to these and other questions in this publication.

It is worth paying attention to the camera mobile phone. There are two of them. The main camera has twelve megapixels, and the second eight. The photos are simply amazing.

The edges of the phone, as mentioned above, simply do not exist, instead there are rounded edges of the screen, which makes the image even more realistic.

As for the processor, not the top-end stuffing is installed here, but it will be enough for comfortable use of most programs.

It is worth noting that in 2017, the company also plans to update this line and release a brand new frameless smartphone called the Sony Xperia Edge.

Unfortunately, there is no information about him on the Internet.

What are the advantages of this model? First of all, you need to pay attention to the weight of the phone, it is quite small, which indicates the compactness of the phone.

And also the phone is high-performance, which allows you to use it for a large amount of time without recharging.

The phone fits into a 2.5D screen, so you don't have to worry about the image quality, it's great.

Therefore, this model is not entirely frameless, but still it is a new stage in the development of mobile gadgets.

Of the minuses, the battery capacity can be noted, it is relatively small, but charging your mobile phone will last you until the evening of the working day, provided that you are an active user.

With the increase in the diagonals of smartphone screens, a problem has arisen associated with the inconvenience of using devices in one hand. Manufacturers did not stop improving models, but focused on the efficient use of the front panel surface.

A reasonable way out of the situation was to reduce the borders around the screen. No one has yet developed a device with a complete lack of frames, but the work is in active mode. With smartphones without frames, which can be purchased today, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with our selection.

Sharp Corner R

Great device from Sharp. Before the company delighted us with its frameless smartphones, this time the company went even further and presented a 5.2-inch device on which the touch panel occupies 90% of the front surface. The smartphone should soon appear on sale under the well-known Sharp logo. In our country, such devices are rare, apparently, you will have to order goods from abroad.

Ulefone Future

Another fresh release of the 2017 season Ulefone Future has started selling, the device is already available in some online stores.

Elephone S7

Image frameless smartphone, the price of which is in available category. The first thing that stands out is the 5.2-inch display, rather than our usual 5.5-inch display. The lack of bezels has reduced the width of the smartphone to 69mm, unlike many 5-inch smartphones. The body is made of metal.

The model is equipped with an 8-core MediaTek MT6737T processor, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory with a slot for expanding memory. The battery size will be 2450 mAh, a fingerprint scanner is also provided. LTE support is present.

However, the main advantage of the model can safely be called amazing sound quality, which completely replaces a portable player.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 128Gb

One of the most original devices in recent years. Xiaomi frameless smartphones have been seen before, but the developers did not stop there, but were able to install a 6.4-inch screen in a 2560x1440 resolution case designed for 5.7-inch smartphones. The firm has used over 90% of the area of ​​the front part.

LG G6 - frameless smartphone with two cameras

At MWC 2017, the company presented the expected new G6. From the modular concept, which never became popular, the developer decided to turn away, putting an emphasis on framelessness. The device is equipped with a 5.7″ ultra-wide display. Its resolution is 2880x1440 pixels, and the aspect ratio is 2:1 or 18:9. Thanks to these dimensions, the device can be compared with a classic five-inch gadget.

In addition to the high-definition display, the LG G6 has a dual 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. For lovers of quality music, a DAC is installed that supports HD quality sound. And for those who are afraid to drown their smartphone, IP68 protection is a great solution.

In December, the well-known company Huawei celebrated its anniversary - 3 years, and presented a new smartphone. The main distinguishing feature of the novelty is the design, which differs significantly from previous versions of the company, and plus the artificial intelligence system.

20 best frameless smartphones that will surprise you!

Frameless smartphones appeared on the market in 2014, but this design concept gained real popularity only 2 years later - when Xiaomi introduced its fantastic Mi Mix gadget to the world. After that, every self-respecting Chinese manufacturer found it necessary to release a frameless smartphone model.

The absence of frames can be safely called the main mobile trend of 2017 - the modern market knows no shortage of frameless gadgets. In this article we will talk about the most worthy of them.

• Display: 5.8 inches, 2960×1440 dots
• Screen area / front surface area: 84.47%
• CPU: Exynos 8895
• Cameras (rear / front): 12 MP / 8 MP
• Battery capacity: 3000 mAh

Price: from 54 990 rubles.

However, buying a high-quality frameless device, having an impressive amount of money, is not a problem. It is much more difficult to find a decent smartphone at an affordable price. That is why we included in our top 3 models without frames at once, which can be described as budget. Users who prefer well-known brands should pay attention to the inexpensive Sony Xperia XA; those users who are loyal to Chinese products should take a closer look at the Elephone S7 - it surpasses the Japanese smartphone in terms of characteristics, although it costs the same.

Frameless smartphones 2018-2019 are not only the Galaxy S8 and Xiaomi Mi Mix, which were heard everywhere. In addition, a lot of more affordable gadgets are on sale in both the middle and budget price categories.

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

The Galaxy S8 is a gadget that has created the now popular trend for framelessness. Yes, there was already Xiaomi Mi Mix before it, but it was after the release of the G8 that everyone got sick with the lack of frames and the “infinite” display, which was implemented by both competitors with LG and, according to leaks, Apple themselves in their new iPhone 8.

There's a lot to be said for the S8 - it's the best smartphone you can buy on the market right now. Top Features, gorgeous screen, cool camera - it's all about him. Price? 45 thousand rubles and one of the most popular smartphones in the world will be in your pocket.

Samsung Galaxy S8

LG G6

LG G6, despite the fact that it came out even earlier than S8, is considered by many to be a "sneak" under the Samsung flagship, but this is not so. The LG G6 is an original smartphone that surpasses all other top-end devices on the market in a number of characteristics.

When the RAM of smartphones is already several times higher than that in most computers, cameras allow you to shoot on a level with decent cameras, and the diagonals have grown to the limit, to surprise the buyer, always expecting something of this kind, is becoming increasingly difficult. But the manufacturers seem to have found a way out - to put an enlarged screen in the body of the usual size and get rid of the frames. Following Xiaomi, many Chinese and not only manufacturers demonstrate their developments, promising users even more comfort from use. Our business is to analyze the market and find the most interesting and best frameless smartphones of 2017.

The brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 can be called a work of art. When it lies in the hands, it seems that there is one continuous screen in the palms. It's not that there are no side frames, here the top and bottom are minimal. Just a few millimeters wider and taller than the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, this 5.8-inch smartphone is a breakthrough. The quality of the screen does not cause any complaints: chic resolution, technologyAMOLED, protective glass , maximum responsiveness. You won’t find fault with the filling either - everything is on highest level, even there is water protection. The battery was made not the most capacious for the sake of compactness, but the main thing is that it does not explode. The device even has a slot for a memory card, and the gadget would be perfect, if not for such a high price.

Together with this smartphone came out and Samsung Galaxy S8+ with a diagonal of 6.2 inches and a 3500 mAh battery, it costs even more - under $ 1000.

Xiaomi Mi Mix

Xiaomi company promises to introduce the second smartphone without frames by the end of the year, and the excitement around the first model does not subside. Still, because the model actually opened the fashion for frameless smartphones. The device looks solid, captivates with ceramic back cover and huge screen. Since there are actually no frames, I had to place the front camera and indicator at the bottom of the display, and the speaker fit into the screen, so its volume is not very high. It is problematic to hold a large slippery smartphone with one hand, but this drawback can be forgiven for excellent performance, a huge amount of memory and an incredible display, the feeling of working with which is indescribable.

Nubia Z11

Another Chinese frameless smartphone, but it costs less and belongs to the middle category (we will get to the budget ones). It was a good idea to use a small 5.5-inch display by the standards of frameless devices: the user received a compact device with a display sufficient for comfortable work. The gadget is 5 mm narrower than the reference Apple iPhone 7 Plus with the same screen size. He received metal body, rounded 2.5D-screen, excellent resolution (pixel density 401 ppi).

The smartphone shows excellent performance, easily pulls the heaviest games and is distinguished excellent sound, in this regard, he has few competitors. Camera received module fromSony and optical stabilization, the lens is covered with sapphire crystal - the parameters are like those of the flagship. Takes pictures of a smartphone and really decently. The battery cannot be praised, but due to the well-optimized filling it should be enough for a day of work, there is a quick charge. In terms of price and quality, this is one of the best frameless smartphones of the year (when buying in domestic networks, the price will be slightly higher).

Huawei Honor Magic

We note right away that while the smartphone is not officially sold in Russia, you will have to order from China, but this device is worth waiting for a week or two. It turned out to be compact, received not the largest display, but it is curved and free from frames. The gadget looks solid, it lies perfectly in the hand, but I had to sacrifice the battery capacity, but there is fast charging function and the ability to replenish up to 70% of energy in 20 minutes. The advantages include a fast processor: 4 cores are overclocked to a frequency of 2.3 GHz and are necessary for quickly solving the most challenging tasks, the remaining 4 operate at a frequency of 1.8 GHz. Among others strengths a great AMOLED- screen with a pixel density of 557ppi, dual camera(another fashion trend of our time), a good supply of memory and the ability to expand flash memory. The manufacturer also speaks about the appearance artificial intelligence, which will predict the user's actions. It's just that the price doesn't make me happy.

Bluboo S1

Bluboo S1 became hot novelty this summer, and all because it one of the cheapest bezel-less smartphones this moment. Thus, the manufacturer brings the technology to the masses. 90% of the front panel is occupied by the screen made using IPS technology. The display is protected 2,5 D-Corning Gorilla Glass 4, has an anti-reflective and oleophobic coating. The front camera and fingerprint sensor are placed under the screen. Back panel- made of organic glass, looks nice, but will quickly get dirty and collect prints.

The filling is not the most powerful, but sufficient to work with the vast majority of applications. If you consider the cost, then nit-picking is superfluous. The main memory can be expanded. Due additional main camera You can adjust the sharpness and create a blurred background effect. The battery is not the most capacious, but sufficient for a day of work. We seem to have found the best bezel-less smartphone in terms of value for money. It is hard to believe that such a device exists.

Doogee Mix

Another budget option from a Chinese manufacturer. The smartphone looks impressive, dressed in a glass-aluminum case, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, has dual main camera and a fingerprint scanner. A significant disadvantage of the device is the low resolution, the pixels will be distinguishable, but the display is made according to the technology AMOLED. On the other hand, the HD screen has reduced power consumption.

Sony Xperia XA

The model came out last year, but it still remains quite interesting and attractive for buyers, because it costs, like for Sony Xperia, inexpensive, but looks chic. This year, the company plans to launch a new frameless smartphone - Sony Xperia Edge, but there is nothing on the network about him, except for rumors. In it, presumably, there will be only a thin bottom strip from the frames, and in the Sony Xperia XA they limited themselves only to the absence of side frames.

The unconditional advantages of the model include compactness, excellent performance and independent slots for the secondSIM-cards and memory cards. The camera shoots very well, but the autonomy is a little frustrating. We will not find fault with the screen resolution much: with a 5-inch diagonal, the pixel density remains tolerable - 294 ppi. All shortcomings can be forgiven for a spectacular appearance.

Elephone S3

Affordable, dressed in all-metal body with 2.5D- screen smartphone from Elephone appearance won the hearts of many users. The manufacturer understands framelessness as the absence of side edges, there are noticeable frames above and below the display. We are pleased with FullHD resolution, a supply of RAM and camera offSony, which takes decent pictures. The battery capacity is frustrating, but the smartphone will last until the evening, as well as not the highest performance, but at this price it’s stupid to expect miracles. The device copes with the majority of popular applications, only resource-intensive games do not pull.

Elephone has another frameless smartphone Elephone S7, more precisely, it has minimal side faces - the upper and lower ones remain. Elephone S8 and Elephone P9000 Edge get rid of the upper frame, and the lower one will become barely noticeable. Their release is planned before the end of the year.
