Market forces made us endure screens interrupted with various sorts of notches and cutouts for a considerable time, but that’s all about to end soon. In the last few years, we have seen the Android community evolve from hating notches to being indifferent towards them. But living with the new wave of bezel-less, full-view display phones has convinced us that the world is better off without notches and it’s imperative that natural order be restored to our phone screens. (हिंदी में पढ़िए)

For now, most of the true full-view and notch-less display phones use Pop-up cameras or sliders, but a few tech giants including Samsung, Oppo, and Xiaomi have already demonstrated prototypes or released phones that place the front camera behind the screen.

So, if you are looking for a phone without a notch or with a screen that extends edge to edge, we have listed the best options you may consider.

For the sake of clarity, the list has been segregated into three segments – Premium phones, Mid-range phones, and Affordable phones.

Premium Phones with notch-free full-view display 

In this segment, we have listed phones that cost around Rs. 40,000 or more.

1. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G comes with an improved under-display camera (UDC) which was first introduced in 2021. The main screen of this foldable phone is a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 22.5:18 aspect ratio, QXGA+ (2208 x 1768) resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 374ppi. Thanks to that UDC, you get an 90.9% screen-to-body ratio.

In our review of the device, we found the UDC to be discreet most of the time and is only evident in certain colored backgrounds and when you view it from an off-axis. However, it is definitely an engineering marvel and cool from a visual standpoint. Also, on the front, there is a 6.2-inch 120Hz FHD+ cover screen with a narrow aspect ratio.

Rest, the device runs on a Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 chipset, 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256/512GB UFS 3.1 storage, 4400mAh with 25W fast charging, and a penta-camera setup.

2. Xiaomi Mi Mix 4

Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 4 is yet another under-screen camera phone. It calls its implementation CUP (Camera Under Panel), but the mechanism is pretty much the same as the other under-display selfie cameras out there. Above its 20MP selfie camera lies 400ppi pixels of the screen. This display stretches 6.67 inches and sports 120Hz refresh rate.

It ships with Snapdragon 888+ processor, 8GB/12GB RAM, 128GB/512GB storage, 4,500mAh battery and has 120W wired charging, 108MP camera, and Harman/Kardon speakers.

3. Asus Zenfone 8 Flip

Asus Zenfone 8 Flip has a 6.67-inch (2400 × 1080 pixels) Full HD+ E4 AMOLED HDR10+ display with 90Hz refresh rate, 200Hz touch sampling rate, 110% DCI-P3 color coverage, up to 1000 nits brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. This full screen fascia is possible thanks to a flip camera module.

The company claims this motorized thingy has been certified to withstand up to 300,000 “flips”.

The rest of the repertoire includes Snapdragon 888, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM + 128GB / 256GB (UFS 3.1) storage, a 5000mAh battery with 30W fast charging, etc.

4. Lenovo Legion Duel 2

Legion Duel 2 is a gaming smartphone from Lenovo that’s envisioned to be used in landscape orientation primarily. The screen is a 6.92-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel with 144Hz refresh rate, 1300 nits peak brightness, 111.1% DCI-P3 color gamut support, and 20.5:9 aspect ratio.

The front camera is present within a pop-up camera that raises from the right-hand edge of the phone. The logic is to allow players to stream their gameplay while playing in the horizontal orientation.

Other goodies in the bag are Snapdragon 888 SoC, a 64MP dual rear camera setup and 5,500mAh battery with up to 90W wired charging solution.

5. OnePlus 7T Pro

OnePlus was one of the first few Android OEMs to usher in a notch, and it’s also one of the first in the premium segment to get rid with OnePlus 7 Pro (review). It further continued the trend with OnePlus 7T Pro which comes with a gorgeous true full-view display with extremely narrow bezels.

OnePlus 7 Pro

The 90Hz refresh rate makes it super smooth, the resolution goes all the way up to 2K, and, there are those slick curves at the edges. The phone is powered by Snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset paired with high-quality UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR4X RAM. On the downside, the 7 Pro is big and bulky, is missing the audio jack, and has a mediocre set of cameras.

Other OnePlus phones with a full-view display are:

  • OnePlus 7 Pro

6. Oppo Reno 10X Zoom

What truly makes Oppo Reno 10X Zoom special is periscope-style 5X optical Zoom, that it offers at a significantly lower price than Huawei P30 Pro. The Reno 10X zoom (review) also has a unique take on pop-up camera that it calls shark fin design.

The elevating module opens like a fin and also makes room for the earpiece and LED flash. Anyway, the result is an immersive full-view AMOLED display that extends edge to edge. The Reno 10X Zoom has flagship-grade specs, including the Snapdragon 855, but all the tech housed within makes it a tad thick and heavy.

7. Samsung Galaxy A80

The Galaxy A80 is the only phone from Samsung with an AMOLED screen that extends edge to edge. Yes, even the high-end S-series and Note-series flagships rely on cutouts or punch holes to accommodate the front camera.

The Galaxy A80 implements the bezel-less, full-view screen using an elevating and swivel camera system. Thus the triple rear cameras also double as front selfie shooters. Perhaps this unnecessarily complicated design can be held responsible for disproportionately inflating the price. So, if you really consider an immersive full-view AMOLED screen from Samsung a top priority, you may consider the Snapdragon 730-powered Galaxy A80.

Midrange phones with full-view display 

In the mid-range segment, we have listed phones with retail prices ranging between Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 40,000.

8. Asus 6Z

The 6Z (globally known as the Zenfone 6) is one of the most impressive phones we have seen from Asus in India. The 6Z (review) has a gorgeous and well-calibrated IPS LCD display that covers the entire facia. The selfie camera is housed in a flip module and this glass body phone houses a massive 5000mAh battery while being reasonably manageable.

The 6.4-inch screen has Full HD resolution which is quite sharp considering this is an IPS LCD and not AMOLED screen. This competitively priced Snapdragon 855-powered phone also has stereo speakers, 48MP primary camera, and runs an extremely close-to-stock version of Zen UI.

9. Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro

Xiaomi’s Redmi K20 Pro (review) brandishes an impressive set of specs that you’d otherwise find on phones priced significantly higher. With the K20 Pro, Xiaomi pays due attention to design and the phone gets a full-view AMOLED display (6.4-inch, full HD+) with an in-display fingerprint sensor lying underneath.

As is the case with most other Xiaomi phones, the K20 Pro is a great value proposition. Key features include triple rear cameras, 4000mAh battery with fast charging support, and MIUI 10 interface with fewer ads.

10. Oppo Reno

Oppo Reno, which is a trimmed-down version of the Oppo Reno 10X Zoom, has the same design with shark-fin pop-up and is also slimmer and significantly lighter. The handset has a 6.4-inch AMOLED display (Full HD) with around 87% screen-to-body ratio that targets DCI-P3 color gamut and is shielded by Gorilla Glass variant.

This one is missing 10X lossless zoom and Snapdragon 855, but the 48MP primary rear camera and SD 710 chipset should still be a good deal for light and moderate user.

Affordable phones with full-view display 

In the affordable section, we have listed phones that cost under Rs. 25,000.

11. Motorola One Fusion+

Motorola One Fusion Plus rocks a 6.5-inch full HD+ notch-less TFT-LCD screen. It’s pop-up camera houses a 16MP sensor. Pivot and by the back you get a 64MP quartet.

The phone is powered by Snapdragon 730G with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, and a 5000mAh battery. There is support for 15W fast charging. There is Vanilla Stock Android software too in the mix.

12. Realme X

The Realme X (review) is a very competent phone that includes trendy features like a full-view AMOLED screen with minimal bezels on three sides, in-display fingerprint sensor, and pop-up camera – all for a sub Rs. 20,000 price.

The handset also comes in catchy onion and garlic gradients that look extremely premium. Other highlights include VOOC 3.0 fast charging, 48MP rear camera, and Snapdragon 710 chipset.

13. Xiaomi Redmi K20

Redmi K20 passes on most of what’s good with the Redmi K20 Pro at a lower price point. The handset has the same design as the Pro variant and the same immersive full-view AMOLED display.

The Redmi K20 is however driven by Snapdragon 730 and replaces the Sony 48MP sensor with a Samsung sensor of the same resolution. Other features include in-display fingerprint reader, Pop-up camera, and 4000mAh battery with fast charging.

14. Vivo V15 Pro and Vivo V15

The Vivo 15 Pro has been around for a while, but it’s still a relevant option, especially at the new price. Both the V15 Pro and V15 employ a pop-up front camera and have a full-view display. The Pro variant, however, benefits from a better AMOLED screen and is powered by Snapdragon 675.

The Funtouch OS running on the phones isn’t very exciting, but it’s stable and quite feature-rich.

15. Oppo K3

The Oppo K3 is almost the same as Realme X, save for a few differences. The primary rear camera has a lower resolution 16MP sensor and the base variant gets relatively more RAM (6GB).

20. Vivo X70 Pro

The flagship devices by Vivo have always amazed the users in terms of camera prowess, performance, and display capabilities. Vivo X70 Pro follows the same trend with its 6.56-inch AMOLED display coupled with a 120Hz refresh rate. Though we will say that the smartphone lags behind in terms of the processor as it has a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor.

Several of these have a hole, so no full screen. Most of the others are old or very old. Are there any new phones which are really full screen (i.e. without holes or notches)?
