Gadget display borders have made for a delicate, controversial, sometimes
even uncomfortable topic basically since the inception of the so-called
mobile tech industry. Okay, so maybe this wasn’t really a focal point back
when the Nokia 1100 was selling in hundreds of millions of copies, but the
prospect of a truly “bezel-less” smartphone captured the imagination of
Android enthusiasts for many years now.

Of course, as hardware manufacturers repeatedly highlighted, a completely
bezel-free handheld would be as impractical as betting on a three-legged
horse in the Kentucky Derby. There would be nothing to hold on to, not to
mention the tricky software optimizations required to shun accidental touch
interaction.
Also, be honest, a little bit of panel frontier often gives off an air of
distinction and style compared to how an entirely stripped-down phone would
probably look. The key is obviously to limit yourself to the absolute
minimum necessary, coming as close as possible to a perfect screen-to-body
ratio.

slim bezel display
What’s perfect? Considering the premium Galaxy S6 offers 70.7 percent of
its surface as usable real estate, anything above that mark sounds great.
The more screen, the merrier, as long as you don’t exceed 80 percent. All
in all, 80 is likely the max sweet spot.
Sharp Aquos Crystal – $132 prepaid; 78.5 percent screen
Our first proposition and the overall compact form factor champion of the
world falls short of the aforementioned magic number, but boy, does it come
close to aesthetic perfection. Too bad Sharp couldn’t find a way to maybe
split Crystal’s “chin” in slightly more harmonious slim strips of bezel
all around the 5-inch 720p display.

Sharp Aquos Crystal
As things stand, this surprisingly affordable mid-end Android looks a little
awkward, though the “sharp” edges are certainly a(nother) nice design
touch. Beauty isn’t everything, of course, so you should be ecstatic to
hear 130 bucks buy you Harman Kardon sound enhancements as well, plus quad-
core Snapdragon 400 power and 1.5 GB RAM.
Huawei Ascend Mate 7 – available at $449; 77.6 percent
Despite what the name suggests, the Mate 7 is “merely” a 6 incher with a
robust, elegant metallic exterior, fingerprint recognition tech, octa-core
Kirin 925 juice, 4,100 mAh battery capacity and almost no visible empty
space to the sides of its Full HD panel.

Above and underneath it, there’s enough room for a couple of sensors and
subtle company logo, and unlike the Aquos Crystal, everything’s symmetric
and mighty attractive here. Hands down the best use of the “edge-to-edge”
concept to date.
LG G3 – $345 factory unlocked; 75.3%
You probably never realized just how thin G3’s “outskirts” were and how
difficult it was for the OEM’s designers to make this a feasible build
until the G4 dropped with a “modest” 72.5 percent screen quota. Now you
understand why we’re urging you to buy this living legend before it
vanishes into oblivion?
image: http://cdn.thedroidguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/LG-G3.jpg
LG G3
Well, there’s that, plus a gorgeous 5.5-inch Quad HD piece of glass,
Snapdragon 801 chip, Lollipop software, 13 MP laser autofocus camera and 3,
000 mAh pacemaker.
BLU Studio 6.0 LTE – $207; 74.6%
How can such a massive beaut cost so little SIM-free, sans contractual
obligations or strings attached of any sorts? Simple, BLU Products is still
struggling to make a name for itself and pulling all the stops to become the
US king of unlocked gear.
image: http://cdn.thedroidguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/BLU-Studio-6.0-LTE.jpg
BLU Studio 6.0 LTE
Now, make no mistake, build quality is short of premium, with cheap plastic
everywhere, and the specs are nothing to write home about. Nonetheless, for
a low-cost trooper, the bang for buck factor is mind-blowing. Check it out
and see for yourselves!
Huawei Honor X2 – $437; 74.5%
Known as MediaPad X2 in certain circles, this full-metal bad boy decidedly
trudges on tablet turf, with a screen measuring, you guessed it, 7 inches in
diagonal. But Huawei bills it a phone, and it can make and receive voice
calls, so why not?
image: http://cdn.thedroidguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Huawei-Honor-X2.jpg
Huawei Honor X2
After all, it’s pretty light, at 239 grams, and impressively slender, at 7.
2 mm. Phenomenally handsome too, with a near-microscopic black vertical
layer on the screen’s right and left and perfectly tolerable horizontal
dead spaces.
Motorola/Google Nexus 6 – $600 and up unlocked; 74.1%
image: http://d38v16rqg5mb6e.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Nexus-6.jpg
Nexus 6
The prettiest Nexus family member was bound to be the most compact also in
addition to gigantic, fast and furious. Such a shame it’s a bit overpriced,
even following a recent trim, and tacky according to some, due to the
polycarbonate body and much too rounded corners.
Meizu MX4 Pro – $410; 73.7%
image: http://d38v16rqg5mb6e.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Meizu-MX4-Pro.jpg
Meizu MX4 Pro
It comes from a Chinese brand many of you may not entirely trust, it’s
fairly hard to score stateside via conventional retail channels and runs an
Android fork most Westerners don’t approve of. Yet the MX4 Pro makes up for
all its flaws with first-rate design, a high-res screen, 3 whopping gigs of
RAM and top-class 20.7 MP rear camera.
Last but not least, very low price relative to what’s brought to the table.
LG G Flex 2 – starting at $560 unlocked; 73.5%
Curved doesn’t have to mean bezel-y… or repulsively experimental anymore,
and somehow, the arch makes the G Flex 2 seem shorter than 149 mm and more
compact than “just” 73.5 percent functional display.
image: http://d38v16rqg5mb6e.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/LG-G-Flex-2.jpg
LG G Flex 2
It’s a victory of mindful design, if you will, especially compared to the
first-gen “banana phone”, which looked crazy and not entirely in a good
way. Let’s not forget the G Flex 2 saw its list price plummet already, and
an on-contract Sprint version only costs $100. With Snapdragon 810 inside, 2
GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage and fast-charging 3,000 mAh battery.
Huawei Honor 6 Plus – $472; 73.2%
Wait, three Huaweis on such a competitive top ten list? Do you dare still
call the Chinese device maker a mobile underdog? Sounds to us it’s more
than ready for the big leagues, albeit the Honor 6 Plus will probably never
leave the Asian continent… officially.
image: http://d38v16rqg5mb6e.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Huawei-Honor-6-Plus.jpg
Huawei Honor 6 Plus
Unofficially, a few third-party Amazon sellers specialized in imports
promise to ship the 7.5 mm thin 5.5 incher at a decent price if you’re
willing to give them some time. Roughly a month, to be specific. Worth the
wait? Consider this – while only 4 mm taller than HTC’s Desire 626, the
Honor 6 Plus offers a whopping half an inch extra of Full HD IPS LCD glass.
Meizu M1 Note – $209; 72.9%
Almost unbelievably cheap, the non-stylus-capable iPhone clone homage boasts
a fitting glossy plastic rear, but it’s by no means ugly. The razor-thin
bezels emanate a distinguished vibe, the corners are just the right amount
of circular and the signature home button somehow raises M1 Note’s elegant
profile even more.
image: http://cdn.thedroidguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Meizu-M1-Note1.jpg
Meizu M1 Note
Under the hood, an adequately zippy octa-core 1.7 GHz MediaTek MT6752
processor runs the show, backed by 2 GB RAM and a hefty 3,140 mAh cell. Add
in a 13 MP dual-LED camera, a secondary 5 MP shooter, 5.5-inch IGZO 1,080p
panel and KitKat-based Flyme 4.0 OS, and you get one of the best sub-$250
propositions around, not only an extremely compact one.
