PhoneArena • • technology
Key Points:
- Chinese firm Tianma has developed a 6.32-inch AMOLED display panel with record-breaking 0.35 mm bezels, significantly smaller than those on the iPhone 17 Pro models, and a screen-to-body ratio of 98.5%.
- The panel features a 240Hz refresh rate, doubling the 120Hz rate found on many current flagship phones, promising smoother visuals and improved performance.
- Oppo is the likely first adopter of this new display technology due to its strategic partnership and joint lab with Tianma, having previously used Tianma's Tiangong screen in the Oppo Find X9.
- The "bezel wars" peaked around 2017 with devices like the Essential Phone and iPhone X pushing screen-to-body ratios above 80%, but bezel sizes have continued to shrink steadily since then.
- Apple is reportedly aiming for an iPhone XX with virtually no bezels and under-display Face ID and front camera, potentially ending the bezel competition if successful.
