Amazon unveiled a redesigned Kindle lineup that removes the raised bezel for a flush-front look, using capacitive touch and haptics to create a 'dead zone' that ignores a resting thumb. The base six-inch Kindle is now 6.8mm thick, weighs 140 grams, and turns pages 30% faster, starting at $149.99 with a new aluminum-backed option. The Kindle Paperwhite also got a thinner, lighter redesign with a larger display.

TECNO unveiled a concept Android smartphone at IFA 2026 featuring a 6.7-inch, 144Hz display with virtually no visible bezel, achieved by inserting the screen from the rear and using a dual-layer cover glass that extends beneath the frame. The device isn't production-ready, but the demo reportedly makes the border between screen and frame nearly imperceptible except at extreme angles.

Tecno, sister brand to Itel and Infinix, revealed a concept device called the Bezelless featuring a 6.78-inch, 144Hz, 1.5K OLED display with no visible bezel at all. The company achieved this by using two layers of cover glass, hiding the display's inactive edge beneath a slightly thicker surrounding frame rather than eliminating it. The device was shown to press ahead of its formal unveiling at the IFA trade show in Berlin and is not intended for commercial sale.
