Let's just get this out there... Despite Samsung's protestations, the S9 has a notch too. It's just the entire width of the screen.
Lol. Nice try.

You are correct.I don't know why, but the curved display (which I didn't think I'd care at all about) really hides the bezels. Then there's the notch on the iPX; I wanna like the notch, but I can't figure out how.
FWIW, I'm still on an iPhone SE, so neither companies were likely to gain a sale from me.
The S9 looks seriously ugly in my opinion, as did the S8. I’m sure many will disagree but for me it fundamentally fails aesthetically.
Honestly I don’t know why people are so hyped about it.
Great review. I'd still choose the S9 for sure, much more advanced OS and features, prettier phone and of course no Notch.
I’ll take the iPhone X.
Both phones are great but I just want the following changes:
iPhone - Remove the notch
Galaxy S9 - Remove Bixby/button and Samsung skin + provide Android updates more frequently

I can ask you the same question about your iPhone and your computer. Can you 3 an apps that you daily use that need more than 2 cores?Inferior ecosystem and Apps. Can you even name 3 Android Apps that can actually utilize an 8 core processor? What good is all that power to run Fisher Price Apps?

Already got 4 of them for the family. Getting an S9+ soon from work so I’ll get to try it out.
Agreed. Despite Apple's protestations, the iPhone X has a bezel too. It's just not the entire width of the screen.Let's just get this out there... Despite Samsung's protestations, the S9 has a notch too. It's just the entire width of the screen.
It's not that difficult.For some of us, it’s not a matter that we prefer the Apple ecosystem, it’s a question of how entrenched we are in it and how difficult it is to extricate ourselves from it.
I've said the same thing about the iPhone X.The S9 looks seriously ugly in my opinion, as did the S8. I’m sure many will disagree but for me it fundamentally fails aesthetically.

Apple clearly went for the thinnest OVERALL bezel. Care to show me a phone with thinner bezel?I like the iPhone X designoverall (despite the notch), but I'm not sure how you can call it bezel-less. There is a pretty thick bezel surrounding the screen. It's even more apparent next to the S9.
It may look good but functionally it's a failure. I'm bummed that currently Samsung only sells phones with the Edge display.I still really dig the edge display -- the way that the display seems just roll off the edge of the phone. Knockout design, IMO.
After looking at the S8 last year, and now the S9, it really does make you go "Holy side bezels!" with after phone you pick up thereafter.
LOL! I love this statement!I’m normally the agreeing clap-like-a-seal toilet brush every time you open your gloriously handsome mouth and post, and whilst I partially agree, I’m on an iPhone X and I think it’s utterly gorgeous — notch and all.
It’s like a distinguishing pimple on that perfect woman. Boy, I really do love this phone.

I've heard it was worse during the S6 and S7 days. The "edge" doesn't extend as far over the side of the phone as it used to, so the accidental touches occur not AS often at least.It may look good but functionally it's a failure.

Can you name three people who care?
That's interesting to hear. I don't own a GS8 so I cannot compare. FWIW I haven't had any issues with accidental touches.I've heard it was worse during the S6 and S7 days. The "edge" doesn't extend as far over the side of the phone as it used to, so the accidental touches occur not AS often at least.
My dislike of the Edge display is web page viewing. From time to time it's less than ideal when trying to click something near the edge because it wraps down slightly. Given I haven't found any practical, functional use of the Edge display it literally is form over function.However I haven't ever used any of their devices as daily drivers so I don't know how well they fare in day to day use. It definitely is style over substance... but that doesn't mean they don't look great.![]()

If you keep with that thought process, you will need to look to another manufacturer, once Apple releases their car or t.v.Nothing groundbreaking here. With the Samsung you get a whole lot of phone for the price. I think as mentioned, it’s all about ecosystem and it’s difficult to compare the two. What has always been tough for me with Samsung is the fact that they make refrigerators, washing machines, ultrasounds, and heck they even make toilet seats. I dunno it’s probably just a personal issue but I always find more interest in companies that specialize as opposed to companies that generalize.
