# Affordable Bezel-Free Smartphones The Archos Sense 55S is a New Device from the French Company By Joey Haar | Published 2017-06-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archos-sense-55s References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/android/archos-diamond-alpha-sense-55x-news/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) As far as smartphones are concerned, most consumers are content to decide between a handful of the biggest brand names, but the soon-to-be-released Archos Sense 55S might convince more savvy consumers to reconsider their options. The smartphone from the up-and-coming French hardware brand can go toe-to-toe with most big name products in terms of both design and hardware specs, and yet it is [significantly more affordable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honor-200-smart). In line with the current design preference for smartphones, the Archos Sense 55S is a [nearly bezel-free device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-zenfone-12-ultra), with a screen-to-body ratio of 78 percent. The phone is also [impressively sleek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tecno-spark-slim), with a low profile that should make it a relatively subtle item in users' pockets. The screen itself measures 5.5 inches and has a 1,920 by 1,080 pixel resolution, and its camera has dual lenses with eight megapixels each. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bezel-free Smartphones:** The trend towards bezel-free smartphones offers opportunities for companies to create sleek and immersive devices that enhance the user experience. - **Affordable High-end Smartphones:** The demand for affordable smartphones with high-end features presents an opportunity for brands to attract cost-conscious consumers looking for premium devices at a lower price point. - **Up-and-coming Hardware Brands:** The rise of up-and-coming hardware brands like Archos highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the smartphone industry by introducing new players with competitive products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** In the consumer electronics industry, the trend towards bezel-free smartphones can drive innovation in display technology, camera systems, and overall device design. - **Mobile Technology:** The mobile technology industry can benefit from the demand for affordable high-end smartphones by developing cost-effective manufacturing processes and exploring new business models to cater to this market. - **Emerging Hardware Brands:** The emergence of new hardware brands in the smartphone industry creates opportunities for disruption and competition, encouraging innovation and giving consumers more choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Accessible Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmd-arc.md) - [Ultra-Affordable Name-Brand Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htc-wildfire-e5-plus.md) - [Affordable Sleek Android Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-phone-3a.md) - [Innovative Compact Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-smartphone.md) - [Budget Octa-Core Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hisense-f60-5g.md) - [Accessible Folding Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nubia-flip-5g.md) - [Brand-Free Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volla-phone-22.md) - [Flagship-Inspired Entry-Level Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinix-zero-5g.md) - [Dual-Screen Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bl9000.md)
