Samsung patent shows us nearly edge-to-edge display

Samsung isn’t a stranger to the bezel-less design trend sweeping the smartphone market. You could even say they’re one of the pioneers for it. But it looks like they’re not nearly done shrinking down those bezels, or at least this design patent makes us say they’re at least thinking about shrinking it down further. GalaxyClub.nl discovered a design patent the company filed with the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS) in May 2016. And as the diagram above shows, the bezels are almost non-existent with just a small notch on top that will most likely house things like the camera and speaker and whatever sensor is needed for the front panel.

However, we don’t know if this design patent will ever make it to a device. Companies will file different patents but these don’t exactly translate into actual product. But we can’t say we aren’t hoping they actually consider making this. What about you? Is this something you’d want?
