DisplayMate: Samsung Galaxy S9 Beats iPhone X With 'Best Performing Smartphone Display'

A chisel is best used to remove unwanted bezels.

To acknowledge that they don't obscure screen real estate.

Only those outside of the screen area though.

Now tell me which bezel effectively is a notch ?

 

[I7guy]

Now tell me which bezel effectively is a notch ?

The notch is more more effective than bezels, and better looking.

 

[sumsingwong]

The X has bezels all the way around including a notch.

Every phone from every manufacturer has bezels, it’s a matter of more or less.

Correct but a lot of fanbois claim it’s bezel-less. Including Apple.

the x is as bezeless as other phones from other manufacturers.

 

[sumsingwong]

Not really. Have you seen the latest screen-to-body ratios?

To end this argument I hope, here's what a Bezel and Frame is
Red is Bezel
Green is Frame

So yes iPhone X has huge a$$ bezels unlike the S9 which only has the top and bottom one and the side frame.
Hope that iPhone X owners will understand their phone now

So you’re saying other phones are completely bezeless and/chinless?

 

[LazyDay]

A brand new phone has better specs than phone 4 months old? Wowser.

Kind of sounds like what the sheep say every time a new iPhone is launched lol

 

[sumsingwong]

So you’re saying other phones are completely bezeless and/chinless?

Nope. But a lot of members here claim the iPhone X is bezeless which is incorrect. I’m saying other phones have more screen than bezel compared the iPhone X.

Is any phone truly bezeless?

Phone like s9 with higher screen-to-body ratio is more bezeless than iPhone X. That's all we need to know.

 

[I7guy]

Phone like s9 with higher screen-to-body ratio is more bezeless than iPhone X. That's all we need to know.

Well that’s not bezeless, so no it’s not all we need to know.

 

[shanson27]

Look how stupid the iPhone X looks next to the S9 with that disgusting notch.

I actually like the Notch

The I phone looks stunning next to that cheap Android wannabe I Phone.

When you say it like that, it tells me that if you swapped the logos and names on the two devices, you’d say exactly the opposite.

The notch is the new "in fashion design." Long live "the notch."

 

[FFR]

What a difference a couple of months make.

S9 sales have cratered.
Guess they should have copied the notch.

 

[jonnyo]

My lord, we’re still talking about this?!

As Ferris Bueller said: it’s over. Go home. Go.

I wonder how the iPhone Xs/X max will fare. I’m sure it will get the best display ever award until the s10 comes out.

I wonder how the iPhone Xs/X max will fare. I’m sure it will get the best display ever award until the s10 comes out.

At some point boosting the pixel density just gets silly. Laser printers typically write at 300dpi, and unless you put the output right up to the eye and look hard, you can't see the pixels. At some point it just becomes wasteful of GPU and CPU time to calculate the values for all those pixels. I'd rather have longer battery life.

Um... you do realize you have totally obscured the fact the S9 has huge a$$ top and bottom chins that you hide in your pic? seriously.. why the focus on a mm of bezel when you have so much of the top and bottom chopped off screen wise?
