Anandtech article rips Pixel

One tip that not sure everyone knows - when an app is in immersive mode and the buttons are hidden, you can swipe down on the FPS and it'll make them reappear.

Question... Why do bezels bother everybody so much? I like them so my hands aren't so cramped playing a game.

But even if I didn't... The size of bezels doesn't bother me. So why is it such an issue for so many?

I simply want the highest screen-to-phone ratio possible to get the smallest phone possible. The S7 manages to fit a 5.1" screen (as well as a larger battery and wireless charging) into a body that's smaller than the 5" Pixel's. Sure, a few mm doesn't make a huge difference, but compared to the S7 (arguably still the best Android phone available) the Pixel is simply not very efficiently designed.

Why are we nitpicking design so much? If it feels comfortable in your hand and has good software, who cares about the edges and shapes?

All I know is I upgraded from a Nexus 5x and it's brilliant compared to that. Incredibly happy with my choice.

Only have so much pocket space. Would rather fill it with 5.7 inch screen than bigger bezels.
