Top smartphones with highest screen to body ratio

Smartphones are evolving extremely fast, and every year we come across a new trend that some big brand starts and all the rest of the manufacturers follow. Most of us want a bigger display for an immersive experience, but measuring diagonally doesn’t always tell the size of the display area. So, screen to body ratio is the metric today that gives us a clue about the viewing area the smartphone offers.

Smartphones with the highest screen to body ratio, means, lesser bezels and more screen, and it is all the rage in 2019, and we are expecting a more aggressive approach in 2020.

The year hasn’t closed yet, and phones with 100% screen to body ratios have started to pop up one by one. I don’t say phones with bigger batteries will have lesser importance; indeed, it is one of the most essential requirements before adding a phone to the wishlist, but displays have their own charisma: the bigger, the better experience for games, movies, and photos.

Vivo has claimed a 99.6% screen to body ratio for its latest Nex 3 smartphone with its curved screen, and Xiaomi isn’t behind when it announces more than 100% screen ratio because it also boasts a waterfall display. It looks like an overstatement, but bezels are going to go away somehow, sooner or later.
