contents There are bipartite quantum nonlocal correlations requiring very low detection efficiency to reach the loophole-free regime but that need too many measurement settings to be practical for actual experiments. This leads to the general problem of what can be concluded about loophole-free Bell nonlocality if only a random subset of these settings is tested. Here we develop a method to address this problem. We show that, in some cases, it is possible to detect loophole-free Bell nonlocality testing only a small random fraction of the settings. The prize to pay is a higher detection efficiency. The method allows for a novel approach to the design of loophole-free Bell tests in which, given the dimension of the local system, the visibility, and the detection efficiency available, one can calculate the fraction of the contexts needed to reach the detection-loophole-free regime. The results also enforce a different way of thinking about the costs of classically simulating quantum nonlocality, as it shows that the amount of resources that are needed can be made arbitrarily large simply by considering more contexts.
