These days, many flagship smartphones feature curved AMOLED displays to create an impression of bezel-less handsets with a larger screen that falls over the edges. Besides, foldable phones, such as Huawei Mate X and Samsung Galaxy Fold, make huge displays when unfolded. Xiaomi, on the other hand, equipped its new Mi MIX Alpha 5G flagship phone with an innovative screen called Surround Display that wraps around its entire body, and can offer an immersive experience to the users. Its screen-to-body ratio reaches more than 180.6%.
