With the demand for bezel-less display on smartphones growing, one of the innovative ways in which companies have been able to offer this is with the punch-hole display. The idea behind this design was quite simple; to give users a bigger display for more immersive viewing experience, without cutting off too much of the screen. The punch-hole display also works as a great alternative for a large section of people that can’t stand the ‘notched’ design. If you are one of these people, here is a list of some of the smartphones that you should consider buying.
Samsung’s Note series of phones have usually been at the cutting edge of technology and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is no different. It is one of the best options in this segment as it has a sizable 6.8-inch screen with a 10MP camera housed in a punch-hole located in at the top right corner. The dynamic AMOLED Infinity-O display with its QHD+ resolution of 3040×1440 has a pixel density of 498 ppi, which, according to Samsung should provide one of the best viewing experiences in a smartphone of this size. Furthermore, it is HDR10+ certified as well, and you wouldn’t be wrong to expect top-notch quality, making that binge-watching session extra fun. A display like this would be spoilt by the presence of bezels, or even a thick notch at the top. The phone comes with the company’s S-Pen stylus for you to handle all your professional work along with a split-screen mode that’s made possible by the large screen size.
The Samsung Galaxy S10+ comes with a punch-hole display that houses dual-cameras on the front. The punch-hole is on the top-right corner of the display, with a 10MP f1.9 primary camera and an 8MP f2.2 live focus camera setup. The efficient auto-focus system helps take sharp selfies regardless of the distance between you and the camera. The dynamic AMOLED multi-touch capacitive screen with a resolution of 3040 x 1440 pixels also offers an impressive pixel density of 522 PPI, which should make the 6.4-inch display pretty amazing for any kind of content consumption. It comes with a powerful 4100mAh battery, which should ideally allow you to watch movies and play games for a long time.
The Vivo V17 comes with one of the tiniest punch-hole cameras in the market. However, size isn’t everything. This punch-hole houses a 32MP camera that should help you click Instagram-worthy selfies. The vivid 6.44-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display should definitely be appreciated by those who love to binge on content. It comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal memory, giving you enough space to download and run heavy games and movies so that you can enjoy watching them through the device’s immersive display. Also, the 4500mAh battery should ideally power the phone through these activities with ease.
Getting a smartphone with a punch-hole display does not always have to be an expensive affair. If you are looking for a smartphone that offers a punch-hole on a budget, then you should go for the Samsung Galaxy M40. The punch-hole is placed at the top-left corner and houses a decent 16MP camera. The 6.3-inch screen has a FHD+ capacitive touchscreen with 2340×1080 pixels resolution that supports 16 million colours. Such features should ensure a great viewing experience not just with respect to the colours, but also when it comes to the immersiveness. The smartphone comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, which are decent enough specs for you to run all of the major games currently available in the market like Fortnite, PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile and more.
