Smartphones across brands and price points continue to evolve in different technical aspects every day. Whether it is the display, processor, cameras, or other bits. Rather than mere means of communication, they also now have doubled up as perhaps our biggest source of entertainment as well. Over the last few years, mobile phones have become increasingly thinner and bigger, with bezel-less screens for an edge-to-edge usage experience.
As a result, though, gone are the days when these devices used to be compact providing easy one-hand usage, although OEMs continue to strive to achieve portability and functionality.
Today, smartphones with screens measuring around six inches are becoming quite popular. They are the sweet spot among consumers because the devices provide an immersive viewing and enhance the overall experience. The devices also feature a premium display panel that offers vibrant colours, deep blacks, smooth animations, etc.
