Then honestly what's the point? You are going to sacrifice structural integrity and add cost and complexity.

A virtual bezel is about as "useful" as using virtual buttons on an Android device that has physical capacitive buttons, I never understood why people do that.

Why have whitespace in design? (Because it's aesthetically beautiful that's why which contributes to easier to read i.e. function)

Pro tip: Apple had been using software to analyze unintended edge touches and reduce the impact of thinner bezels since the first iPad mini. You'll get used to a non bezels pretty quickly (and Android is better for one-handed use than iOS)

You get a big screen in a smaller form factor. Photos/videos will look great without a large bezel and it will fit better in your pocket.

Displaying information. A couple millimeters at the edge of the screen acting as display-only won't make much difference to your interaction, but you'dd be able to fit a larger display into a smaller chassis. That sounds like a win to me.
