The future belongs to frameless smartphones. And it's very inexpensive!
1. The cheapest frameless - LEAGOO KIICAA MIX
It simply doesn’t get cheaper – and even frame smartphones. “Kisa” can compete even with cheap Xiaomi Redmi 4a. At the same time, KIIICA MIX is compact, convenient, and the screen is from Sharp themselves! Cool? And how. Just think, not a gaming processor. Great smartphone for little money.

2. Cool mix – Vernee Mix 2
The device is almost a complete copy of Xiaomi Mi Mix. It’s just 4 times cheaper! At the same time, Vernee Mix 2 boasts a good balance of characteristics and a 6-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 (Quad HD)! There is also a dual camera, Helio P25, and 4 GB of RAM! The latest Android 7.0 should not be written off either.

3. Chinese clone of the Korean flagship - VKworld S8
An excellent copy of the Samsung S8 - a little simpler, but seriously cheaper. It’s almost impossible to distinguish from the original: Vkworld looks just as cool thanks to the gorgeous 6-inch Quad HD screen from LG. By the way, the S8 uses original Samsung memory and battery. There is also a dual camera, so think about it - maybe you can buy 5 Vkworld S8 pieces instead of one Korean?

4. Workhorse: Elephone S8
Perhaps the most balanced and fashionable frameless Chinese smartphone, if you don’t consider Xiaomi products. Elephone S8 looks like a copy of Mi Mix. But unlike the second revision of the popular device, this Mix smartphone retained a 6-inch frameless display. True, it has an 18:9 format and Quad HD resolution. Another plus for Elephone is its excellent processor and huge battery. And the camera didn't disappoint.

5. Mix with button – MAZE Alpha
This smartphone from a popular low-cost airline brand is ready to compete with any budget employee of the year. In appearance - Xiaomi Mix. Inside there is a solid Meizu. By the way, a hardware button is hidden under the 6-inch diagonal screen (Full HD). And this is the only smartphone in the selection with such a feature.

6. Economical frameless - Blackview S8
Not Samsung, but already very similar. This S8 boasts a cool glass body, an honest dual-camera setup, and decent enough specs. A distinctive feature of the gadget is a 5.7-inch screen with HD+ resolution. This way the smartphone works much longer than its competitors - the human eye still barely notices the difference.

7. Simple and effective - Cubot X18
An amazingly simple, stylish and functional device. Cubot has once again released a decent budget phone - beautiful and comfortable. Everything in it is thought out, from the form to the hardware content. The main difference from competitors is price and convenience.

8. Regular and cool - Nubia Z17S
The ZTE sub-brand, which produces stylish flagship devices, this time presented a really cool smartphone. This Nubia has a classic, even masculine, design. And the thinnest display frames in history! In addition, the smartphone uses a modern Snapdragon 835 processor, an excellent camera from Samsung, and has a separate audio chip. By the way, another advantage is that the new Nubia is a compact smartphone with a 5.2-inch screen.

9. Progenitor and champion - Xiaomi Mi Mix
The first generation of frameless Xiaomi smartphones is still relevant, fresh and looks incredibly cool. Yes, there are a lot of controversial - but innovative - solutions here. And not the most convenient, wide and large 6.4-inch screen. But damn, this Mix is incredibly cool: powerful, attractive. It's like a regular 5.5-inch smartphone. The camera let us down - but to hell with it.

10. Ideal without frames - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2
The new version of Mi Mix 2 has become smaller and received a side protective frame. It’s better this way, more reliable and durable. Finally, a smartphone can withstand a light side impact. The 18:9 aspect ratio is also beneficial. The iPhone X, compared to the Mi Mix 2, is lagging behind - the usable screen area of the Xiaomi flagship is 93% of the front panel area. Record! There is also a camera on the latest Sony IMX386 sensor with optical stabilization.
