Top 3 display trends for all 2017 flagships

Smartphone manufacturers know how to make not only stronger but more stunning devices. They are all working hard to replace the traditional flat display panels and features. Coming first in our 2017 display trends, bezel-less screens must be something you hear all over the news. Good things about a bezel-less display are a bigger screen to body size ratio, more usable areas, and better for entertainment purposes. Xiaomi was the first one to make such a bezel-less phone. It was near the end of 2016 that the Xiaomi Mi Mix came with a 6.4-inch borderless display. At that time, the Xiaomi must have featured the biggest aspect ratio of up to 90% since the physical home button was also removed.

The next among our top 3 display trends is curved screen panel. In this battle, Samsung was definitely taking the lead with its Edge phone series. The display is curved on the sides, which leaves the phone rounded edges with no bezel. Until now, the technology has been used by some Chinese phone makers like Xiaomi and Vivo. This year, we are going to see more and more smartphones coming with OLED curved displays. The latest ones are Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+. The other expected handsets include iPhone 8, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, Galaxy Note 8, and HTC U Ocean.

Last but definitely not least in 2017 display trends is alternative screen format. LG introduced the concept at the Mobile World Congress in Spain in February. This will be featured on the LG G6. It sports a 5.7-inch display with a 2K resolution of 2880 x 1440 pixels. With the 18:9 aspect ratio, LG G6 display will possibly cover almost the whole front. LG G6 offers “a space-saving format that makes room to place two identically sized square application panes side by side when using two apps simultaneously with Android’s new multitasking function”. This is also one of Samsung Galaxy S8 hidden features called Split-screen mode.
