That's a Plus photoshopped--too wide for an X

It’s almost as if desktop computers got a 30 year head-start on having to adapt to arbitrary display sizes.

It might show my age and/or profession (and/or level of nerdiness), but I laughed a little too much at this :D


I WISH they would have just made a black bar at the top like in the photo hiding the notch. While having the time, cellular there. To me it would have but much better design than the notch. Oh well ... I'm interested to see what optimized apps adapt to it.

Yeah, since it's display, and OLED at that, it's "free" to make the horns black, it'll be interesting to see what's allowed [in the SDK], who makes use of that UI option, how the general UX works with the extra space, or no space, or <whatever>.

Heck, I guess as a developer, I better start paying attention :D


It looks even more lustworthy and perfect in real-world use. I have to own one on launch day, I don't care how much I have to pay.

Ahhh, note to self: Buy two, one to keep, one for dumastudetto at 500% markup ... :p

Agreed.

For as much hate as the notch gets, at least it has a purpose: Face ID.

The other "bezel-less" phones out here have some bezels that are there for absolutely no reason, like the S8's bottom bezel.

That’s the best and newest offerings from the top 5 major players in smartphones. Do you really want it to also compare to midrange and budget phones too?

I was not the one who clearly stated that the iPhone X was the most edge to edge screen smartphone out there.

But I guess some people like half or simply false info, I do understand the reason behind it though. Some people do everything to satisfy in the decision for chosing the X.


( I am ordering one myself too ;) but I would like to keep it with facts )

The reason why phones like the S8/Note8 have more screen ratio, is because they have no left/right edges - but personally i think thats a bit of a gimmick, since you can't really use those edges for reading anyways.. Then i rather prefer apple's solution.
 
Neither phone has been released to the public yet, and it's much more likely that Apple employees are out using their prerelease phones in numbers where a couple will be seen in the wild (at an airport it seems) than GooPhone employees out using their prerelease phones.
So then it could be one of the other ten fakes that Has been released.
Sure, it Could be the real deal, but people gotta understand that China is freaking filled with fakes (I've seen it with my own eyes).

Correct me if im wrong, but i dont think there has been made any fakes with round screen corners. This is a highly customized screen - knock offs usually use off the shell panels.

No I said it, and it is a fact.

yes, even Samsung note last year and this year that the effective screen area for an S8 is 5.7" and not 5.8" because of the edges, and they have 81% STBR. The essential phone has the best STBR
