Screen to size ratio post CES 2015

Visit the updated report for mid 2016

Following on from the previous post to determine which phone has the smallest bezel overall. The screen-to-size (or bezel size) ratio expresses the percentage of a phone’s front size is taken up by the display.

With CES-15 out of the way I have update the list with the latest releases and announced phones. Some of the key findings:

  • The incredible bezel-less Sharp Aquos Crystal remains the leader and there are no changes to the Top 10. One would hope that Sharp releases the phone unolocked for all carriers and internationally.
  • Lenovo seems to be getting their designs sorted out with the highest new entry, the Vibe X2 Pro (74.55% @ no. 13). This is the 3rd highest ratio of any sub 5.5” device. Lenovo also has the top 2 phone with the Vibe Z2 Pro.

Thanks for everyone’s comments, corrections and feedback. Keep it coming.

  10. Congratulations for the list! When can we expect an update? A lot of new phones with slim bezels have been launched, even with no bezels!

  11. Hi,

    Great summary, but can you mark which smartphone use onscreen buttons? In my opinion only size of the part of the screen that is not covered with onscreen buttons should be used to calculate screen to bezel ratio. I know it’s hard to do because there is no data saying how big is the part of screen covered by buttons. That is why I think that adding new column “onscreen buttons” would suffice.

    Keep up the good work!
