actually makes much more sense than the stupid gimmicky notches

I think I’d rather just have the notch.

Wouldn’t matter to me really. I’ll just configure it so that it becomes a bezel at the edge of the hole/notch.

Why would anyone want actual display content to be interrupted like that is beyond me.

Notches and holes and wrap-around screens and skinny cases and missing headphone jacks and extremely fragile screen glass , and not a single thought about how easy they are to hold without the phone thinking that you swipe-delete all your messages or dialing a random contact.

The notch is stupid. This is also stupid. I don’t need a corner-to-corner screen.

Perfect. Let’s all buy phones that come pre-damaged.

Remind me again, what was the problem with having bezels to house the front camera and speaker? Nothing.

Phones are dead.

Looks ok to me, though it needs to be small enough that it doesn’t cause some huge double thick status bar.

What bothers me is that these phones all have bezels at the bottom. I need more symmetry:

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

That last one includes phones where it has a notch or whatever, but colors that status bar black, and then has a lower bezel of the same size (or I guess even a lower soft-button area), the important thing it to preserve bezel symmetry .

Not ok is pretty every non-Apple phone where they go to the trouble of making a notch or hole but still leave a stupid looking chin bezel that is thicker than the top bezel, but not thick enough to match the look if you black out the status bar.

I would not buy that. I like bezels. Gives me another point of contact so I can grab the thing and not do something accidentally on the screen.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with top and bottom bezels, so all this is absurd to me.

I’m fine not having an edge to edge display. Even the Mona Lisa has a frame.

B ut how’re they going to sell you the “next great thing”if the previous one isn’t fatal ly flawed or broken? You OBVIOUSLY don’t understand capitalism.
