This year has been the year of the new full screen displays with the Galaxy S8, LG G6 and V30, Pixel 2 XL, iPhone X, and many more. All the top companies are implementing the edge-to-edge screens into their most expensive phones. While people seem to love the this new evolution, most of us can agree that these flagship phones are getting way too expensive. With negative reactions to the near $1000 price tags of the iPhone X, Galaxy Note 8, Pixel 2 XL, and other full screen phones, people sometimes turn to budget devices from smaller Chinese manufacturers. The problem you run into there, is you won't get the display resolution you're hoping for (with many screens topping out at 720p or 1080p), plus there won't be updates or support past some early bug fixes, and you'll wind up with a under-powered phone that won't live up to the flagships.
The Google Pixel 2 XL can be purchased for around $850 from Google and features a large fullscreen display.
What consumers want is the full screen trend to come to the mid-range devices. A full screen phone with a reputable company behind it providing updates, would be very popular.
Now "full screen" is a pretty generic term, but people are using it to describe a more-or-less bezel-less display. We also love the new 18:9 aspect ratio that is being adopted by newer phones because the taller screen offfers more content without scrolling. So if we could see a great company put out a full screen phone with an 18:9 aspect ratio, and not have it cost an arm and a leg, then we would be very excited to check it out.
The early Nexus and OnePlus phones were the best examples of low-cost devices which gave high-end flagships a run for their money. Using the latest hardware and being the first in line to receive updates, phones like the Nexus 4 &5 and the OnePlus 1 & 2 were the best value you'd ever find in Android phones. Now we look to the next company to pick up where they left off. Lately, consumers have turned to Honor to fulfill this role.
Honor has been consistently putting out amazing phones at killer prices. The Honor 8 and Honor 9 are some of the best examples. These phones launched with top-of-the-line hardware, frequent updates, and software that was solid and glitch-free. Recently they've announce the Honor 7X, featuring an 18:9 1080 x 2160p display at under $300. This isn't just another budget device flaunting one flagship feature as a selling point. The Honor 6X was a very good phone with frequently updated software, a solid build, and low price.
The Honor 7X is a budget phone featuring a 18:9 aspect ratio with a 1080 x 2160p display.
With Honor's consistent releases of amazing phones at great prices, they might be the first to bring full screen displays to the mid-range market.
