List of smartphones with punch-hole screens

Aside from the pop-up or sliding cameras and dual-screens, punch-hole screen is a new solution to create smartphones with bezel-less yet notch-less displays.

Punch-hole screens, the future today

Smartphones with punch-hole screens have a full-screen design with a tiny hole on the upper part of the screen to house the selfie camera. To my eyes, it is a neater looking implementation of a bezel-less smartphone.

Brands like Samsung and Huawei/Honor recently started the punch hole in the display revolution. We are sure that it will be the display trend in 2019.

If you are looking for one, here's a list of devices punch-hole screens.

List of smartphones with punch-hole screens

Samsung Galaxy A8s

1. Samsung Galaxy A8s - Samsung dubbed this tech as the Infinity-O screen. Galaxy A8s is the Samsung device with such screen. It features a big 6.39-inch FHD+ Infinity-O screen with a hole found on top. It is powered the by Snapdragon 710 mid-range SoC, up to 8GB RAM, 128GB expandable storage, and 3,300mAh battery.

Sadly, the A8s is also the first Samsung smartphone with no 3.5mm headphone jack slot. The headphone can now be plugged in the charging port.

The phone boots with Samsung Experience 9.5 skin based on Android 8.1 OS, and support for the new generation Bixby.
