If you look at any phone panel from an angle, you'll see a black border because you're essentially looking inside the phone. Head one, you wouldn't be able to see that and I'm sure if you tilt the pixel, you'd see the same thing. The pixel gets great reviews and I'm sure it's a fantastic phone but wth is up with those huge bezels. I couldn't live with it. So much potential screen real estate lost.
That's my point.
I don't care about smaller bezels than I have here on my Pixel, but I know a lot of people do.
LG is either fudging the screen/body ratio by building in an inner bezel (think HTC M7 bottom bezel, just thinner and all the way around) Or they sunk their panel under some seriously thick and ugly glass.
Thick, one dimensional glass is a solid way to increase durability, we have already seen LG preemptively tout the strength and durability of this phone as the reason they avoided 2.5d glass.
Even though the $800 price was just released, constructing a phone this way is also an excellent way to reduce manufacturing costs.
I just assumed that bezel haters hated their bezels in the name of sleek aesthetics, or they want a smaller form factor vs screen size. Either way this is a mark against.
It plain as day by looking at every video/pic of this phone so far there is a clear difference in the screen set up on this LG G6 than other current flagships. Someone show me a pic of a current iPhone, Pixel, Galaxy S that shows this same effect...ANY PIC.
I'm currently writing this on a tilted Pixel. Not nearly the same thing. Manufacturers of flagship smart phones have designed the "sunken screen" effect out of phones two or three cycles ago with thinner, stronger 2.5d glass.
No one wants to hear it, but this screen is not going to cut it side by side other flagships in carrier stores.
If I seem rude, it's that I'm incredulous about why no one can't just see it for what it is. It's obvious.
