There is a race between the smartphone makers to launch their smartphones bezel-less and with a more screen-to-body ratio. So for this, the in-display fingerprint scanner was invented which now every company is using in their smartphones. We as a customer would love to have a smartphone with a full-screen, almost bezel-less and higher screen-to-body ratio. But this increases the price of the smartphone too.

The smartphone with bezel-less screen has more possibility of getting damage and there is no place to keep the important components like the selfie camera, front fingerprint sensor, and earpiece safe.
