Rather than removing the inactive edge entirely, the company has concealed it beneath a curved layer of cover glass. The phone has a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate.
How the bezel-free effect works
The concept uses dual-layer cover glass. The lower layer curves over the display frame, covering the inactive part of the panel. Viewed from the front, the black edge is concealed, creating the impression of a 0 mm bezel.
This is a visual effect: covering the edge does not increase the active display area. When watching videos or playing games, the main benefit may be a less noticeable transition between the image and the edge of the phone.
AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate
The 6.78-inch display uses AMOLED technology, which offers vivid colors and high contrast. Its 1.5K resolution contributes to image sharpness, while the 144 Hz refresh rate can make scrolling, animations and supported games look smoother.
The refresh rate alone does not determine how quickly the screen responds to touch. AMOLED technology does not by itself guarantee long battery life, which also depends on display settings and how the phone is used.
Rear-mounted display
The display module is inserted from the back of the phone, rather than from the front as in conventional assembly. This allows the dual-layer glass and curved cover elements to be integrated without a wider visible bezel. The second glass layer is secured with a special heat-activated adhesive.
The design must also address screen protection, sensor placement and structural strength. Durability and manufacturing costs remain open questions if the design enters mass production. For now, the device is a concept, not proof that the same solution will appear in a commercial model.
