Bezels are the metal or plastic frames that surround the screens of electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. There are several terms commonly used to describe bezels, including frames, rims, borders, edges, and surrounds. Some manufacturers also refer to bezels as borders or frames. In recent years, the trend has been towards devices with thinner bezels, which provide larger screens without increasing the overall size of the device. As such, terms such as slim bezels, bezel-less, borderless, and edge-to-edge have become popular descriptors for devices with minimal bezels or none at all.
