Edge Display Phones That Are Still Being Made
Samsung, Google and Apple no longer list a curved-screen phone. The curve lives on in mid-range phones from Motorola, Realme, Tecno, Infinix and Vivo.
Samsung made the edge display famous, and Samsung has given it up. Its Ultra phones went to a flatter screen in 2024, and today Samsung’s own write-ups of the phones on its US store never mention a curve. Motorola’s US store is down to a single Edge phone, and that page does not describe one either.
The curve has moved down the market and out of the US. Five current phones have it in their makers’ own words: the Infinix Note Edge, the Vivo Y400 Pro 5G, the Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G, the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion and the Realme 16 Pro+ 5G.

Five phones with curved screens
There will be others, but these five advertise a curved display in plain words on their makers’ own sites. They run from cheapest to dearest by the prices GSMArena lists for them.
| Phone | What the maker calls it | Screen | Sold in the US? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infinix Note Edge | 3D curved 1.5K display | 6.78-inch AMOLED | No |
| Vivo Y400 Pro 5G | 3D curved display | 6.77-inch AMOLED | No |
| Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G | Curved AMOLED display | 6.78-inch AMOLED | No |
| Motorola Edge 70 Fusion | Quad-curved display | 6.78-inch AMOLED | Only as an import on Amazon |
| Realme 16 Pro+ 5G | 4D Curve+ display | 6.8-inch AMOLED | Only as an import on Amazon |
Screen sizes are from GSMArena. All five also read your fingerprint through the screen, according to its spec pages, and more phones with in-display fingerprint readers are sorted by price elsewhere.
The Infinix Note Edge is the cheapest of the five on GSMArena’s listings, and the one with the old Samsung word in its name. Infinix calls the screen a 3D curved 1.5K display. GSMArena lists it with 8GB of memory and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
Vivo sells the Y400 Pro 5G in India. Its Indian site pitches it on slimness and a 3D curved display. GSMArena lists 8GB of memory and a 5,500mAh battery.
The battery is the story on the Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G. Tecno fits an 8,000mAh cell behind a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED screen that refreshes at 144Hz. We would look at this one first of the cheaper three: 8,000mAh is far more than the 5,500mAh in the Vivo.
Motorola puts the quad-curved display in the page title of the Edge 70 Fusion, so there is no doubt what it is selling. Quad-curved is the makers’ way of saying the glass curves at all four edges, not only the two long ones. The phone runs a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip with up to 8GB of memory on Motorola’s international site.
The Realme 16 Pro+ 5G is the dearest of the five. Realme calls the screen a 4D Curve+ display and says the back, the frame and the curved glass run into one another smoothly. GSMArena lists a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel at 144Hz with 8GB or 12GB of memory.
Buying a curved-screen phone in the US
You cannot get one from Samsung’s, Google’s, Apple’s or Motorola’s own US stores, and none of the five is sold on its maker’s US store, so there is no dollar price from the maker to quote. Motorola’s store offers the Edge 2026 with no curve mentioned.
Amazon lists imported international versions of two of them: Motorola Edge 70 Fusion on Amazon and Realme 16 Pro+ on Amazon. Their titles carry notes such as GSM only and no CDMA. Check the listing against your carrier before you order, because an imported phone may not work on every US network.
What happened to Samsung’s edge phones
Samsung showed its first curved Edge screen on the Galaxy Note Edge in September 2014. The Galaxy S6 edge followed in March 2015 with a display curved on both sides, and for years afterwards a curved screen was the mark of an expensive Samsung.
That ended with the Galaxy S24 Ultra. When Samsung announced it in January 2024, it described a “flatter display” tuned for productivity as well as viewing. We could not find a fuller explanation from Samsung. Its write-ups of the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra on its US site say nothing about a curve, and neither do those for the rest of the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy A phones it sells there.
The Galaxy S25 Edge of 2025 confuses the matter, because the name sounds like the old edge screen. It means something else. Samsung announced it as a slim phone with a titanium body 5.8mm thick, and the announcement does not describe a curved display.
Google and Apple are the same. The spec pages for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 phones do not mention a curve, and Apple’s iPhone comparison page talks only about rounded corners.
Curved or flat
The case for a curve is how the phone looks and how it sits in the hand. Motorola sells it as comfort. Realme talks about grip.
The case against is in the makers’ own words too. Tecno says it tuned the hardware and software of the Pova Curve 2 to cut down accidental touches on the curve, which tells you what the problem is. Samsung’s line on the flatter S24 Ultra was that the screen is for working on as well as watching.
Do not pay extra for a curve, and do not avoid one of the best phones at your budget because of it. Samsung dropped it from its most expensive phone, which is not where a company goes to save money. That suggests the curve was a matter of taste. If you write or draw on your phone, flat is the safer choice. If you simply like the look, the five phones above are where to find it, and other good-looking phones, from thin titanium to wood veneer, are sorted by style.
