20 best frameless smartphones that will surprise you!

4.5 (89.36%) 94 votes

Touch screens became a habit for each of us about 6-7 years ago. Before that, no one could have imagined that the device could be controlled by clicking on the screen. Today there is another type of phone - this is a rectangular "brick", which most modern models look like.

Some manufacturers are trying in every possible way to “break” this circle of stereotypes and present something new to the world. The next such device at one time was the G Flex, the brainchild of LG, a curved phone that breaks our ideas about how a smartphone should look like.

Phone with a curved screen

It's obvious that this model is the result of experimentation by LG engineers who tried to bring something original to the market. They succeeded, however, the device did not make any special sensation. He was remembered simply as an experimental device, designed primarily for the so-called "wow effect" of the buyer.

In general, the device, in terms of its characteristics and capabilities, quite strongly resembles the flagship (at one time) G2 model - the same high performance, response speed, powerful equipment, attractive design. Of course main feature is that this LG is a curved phone. According to the manufacturers, this form allows you to increase the sound quality of the voice of the owner of the device, and also increases the audibility in general.

Hardware stuffing

A smartphone with a curved display (LG GFlex) also boasts a strong filling. It, as noted above, is similar to what the manufacturer offers along with the G2 model - this is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor (performance is 2.26 GHz). Also, the model is equipped with 2 GB of RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU, which allows you to carry out high-quality graphics in any conditions.

Image

In general, with regard to graphics, the manufacturers promise users that the new LG, whose curved screen is presented at a different angle, will transmit the picture in a new, unusual way. Due to this, movies and video clips on G Flex will be different from the image that we are used to seeing on other devices.

True, as the experience of users who left reviews about the device shows, this effect will soon cease to be noticeable - the human eye quickly gets used to such a viewing angle. Yes, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Special screen coating

Another interesting feature that the developers of the model mention is a special coating on the display. It's called self-healing because it hides the small scratches that inevitably occur on any sensor as a result of using an LG device. A curved phone can, as tests have shown, deal with 70 percent of minor damage through the use of this technology.

This effect is achieved due to more efficient filling of the space that is formed after applying a scratch. True, it is impossible to hope that this will make the phone invulnerable - larger damage to the case will remain "as is", the engineers have nothing against them. LG smartphone with curved screen already positioned as a high-tech novelty.

Battery

Many users, judging by the reviews, are interested in the question regarding the battery. What should be the battery for the new Flex - also curved?

In fact, you should not worry about this - the design of the device is thought out to the smallest detail - and even an excellent 3500 mAh battery is placed in such an unusual case. It follows the contours of the phone, so it sits quite organically inside; the user cannot remove it. At the same time, it is enough for long term performance of the device due to the excellent optimization carried out by LG. The curved phone, in addition to its unusual shape, also boasts endurance at the G2 level.

Price and reviews

The cost of the device can not be called budget - at the time of release it cost $ 950. As it became obsolete, the price fell, especially after the release of the second generation. LG's new curved screen phone, called the G Flex 2, has been redesigned to fit more comfortably in the hand, with an improved processor, camera and other features that consumers will love. Now the first generation of the smartphone costs about 22 thousand rubles.

For these funds, the buyer gets a fairly strong smartphone with a good 12-megapixel camera, an optimized quad-core processor and a good graphics engine. Of course, there is nothing unusual about the G FLex screen except for the viewing angle - believe me, it's just an LG smartphone with a curved screen. Although the reviews, of course, for the most part, are positive about the device - the “wow effect” really works. Plus, again, the large 6-inch screen allows you to conveniently perform a lot of tasks that small displays are not suitable for.

Flaws

Despite the overall positive picture in the reviews, I would like to highlight some of the nuances that users noted on the negative side. For example, these are inconvenient screen unlock buttons. Unlike the G2, LG's curved phone is equipped with keys made of a different material, which is not as pleasant to press. Yes, and doing it on a flat surface, according to buyers, is more convenient.

The next thing to mention is the graininess of the pixels in some places on the screen. The reviews claim that this effect can only be seen on certain videos - but it is present, which is sometimes very annoying.

Another point is the headphone jack. Some users who use the phone in a horizontal position (like a tablet) find it inconvenient that the hole is located on the top panel, and not on the side of the device.

Another curved LG phone (the price of which, we recall, is now equal to 20-22 thousand), as users note, is not equipped with a second SIM card and does not support a memory card, due to which it may be less convenient to use it.

However, we will proceed from what we have, and leave the task of coming up with improvements for the device to engineers from LG.

Conclusion

In general, the phone can be described as eye-catching. The phone itself has a rather "cool" equipment - thanks to this, wide functionality, excellent performance, and a lot of advantages of a middle-class smartphone are available to users.

Plus, as some reviews testify, the curved shape is really convenient conversations (due to the fact that the device follows the contours of the face) and cool movies (due to a different viewing angle of the screen).

As a result, we get a phone that could be purchased by those who like to experiment. Plus, again, if the capabilities of the model may not be enough for someone, then you can buy a second-generation gadget - G Flex 2, a modified and improved version at a higher price.

In the world of smartphones, a simple flat screen is already considered commonplace, which no longer surprises anyone. They were replaced by devices with a curved display. Thanks to such screens, ergonomics are improved, new features and functions are opened up, or just watching movies with greater convenience. Such a smartphone can boast in the company of friends not just because of the configuration, but also because of its interesting design. Therefore, we present to your attention the rating of the best smartphones with a curved display for 2017.

That being said, the curved screen is not the only thing this phone is notable for. It also has stereo speakers, Asahi Kasei AK4962 audio chip and Dolby Atmos support. That provides excellent sound to the smartphone both in headphones and without.

It is because of the display that comes to the side faces. In some situations, the curved screen can be very inconvenient: fingers touch its surface when it is not planned at all, and some applications are accidentally launched on the smartphone. However, the people do not care about this from a high mountain, and between flatness and curvature, they choose the latter. How else to explain the fact that at the end of 2016 there are more copies of the Galaxy S7 edge than the Galaxy S7, although the usual “seven” is noticeably cheaper?

In general, curves are fashionable. And if so, then keep a selection of smartphones with curved screens. All of them are made using AMOLED (or OLED) technology, since LCDs cannot be bent in this way. .

Everything is clear here: the most sophisticated and one of the most expensive smartphones of our time. They can be blamed for the fingerprint scanner located in a strange place, for the alternatively gifted Bixby assistant, for only one rear camera ... However, the screens in both models - both the younger and the older - are first-class. Some even consider them the best on the market.

Why not? The device, of course, is last year's, but in most respects it can compete with the flagships of this year. That is, it has not lost its relevance. Glass, a good camera, firmware with Android 7.0 Nougat and other joys are included. And you will have to pay a little less than for the Galaxy S8.

One of the most charismatic Xiaomi smartphones. It stands out from the background of other models of the company just thanks to the 5.7-inch curved OLED screen produced by LG. The bends here are insignificant, and they are needed primarily in order to be able to say: “Look, we also made a smartphone with a curved screen! Weeeee!" The case is made of glass, the battery is powerful (4000 mAh), the chipset is fast (Snapdragon 821). For some time now, Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has been in Russia.

The device is very rare and, without exaggeration, unique. Simply because it is the only smartphone in the slider form factor to date. The charms do not end there: the BlackBerry Priv is equipped with a curved AMOLED screen, and the Canadians were able to find a useful use for this very curvature. On the part of the screen, creeping onto the side of the case, a strip is displayed - an indicator of the battery charge. It looks nice, and it is also very convenient in practice. In Russia, BlackBerry Priv is not officially sold, you can only find it at gray dealers with all the risks that follow from this.

The most expensive device in our selection. Of course, a good third of the price is added by the Porsche Design studio logo. But the price did not particularly affect the popularity: they say that people buy this model very actively. Which is actually not surprising: smartphones with a pronounced fashion “charge” today are one or two and counted. And Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design is just that. Impressive specifications complete the picture: 256 GB of memory, a powerful Kirin 960 chipset, as well as a pair of cameras on the back panel, created with the participation of Leica.

Vivo was one of the first companies to purchase curved screens from Samsung. At the beginning of 2016, she released a model, and at the end of the year she was noted by the Xplay6 smartphone. From the back, it is very reminiscent of the iPhone, and in terms of filling it is a typical flagship of the end of 2016 - beginning of 2017: Snapdragon 820, a pair of rear cameras, 6 GB of RAM. A curious smartphone, but - for rabid lovers of the exotic. Because it is not so cheap, and it is not officially delivered to Russia. Maybe, .
