When I first saw this photo, the first thing that crossed my mind was "protective cases". It would be gigantic stupidity that would seriously damage the reputation of both Sharp and Foxconn to talk about bezelless phones for two months, to advertise these new models as the "logical continuation" of the Crystal/Edgest lines, to actually have produced bezelless (Crystal) and very-thin-bezel (Edgest) phones before, and now roll out something that has bezels this big.

      Why people hate bezels? They actually help to hold phone and don't drop. Zero bezel phone is very ugly and look like you are buying only screen. Lol.

                        There are no side bezels at all on those phones in the picture because they are all in a protective test-case! Look where the case ends top and bottom and compare that with where the case ends on the bezelfree sides!

                            Those look like cases around the phone, I think you are not seeing the phone itself but a case around the phone used during this testing.
