Who really likes the idea of screens with no bezels?

[BlackZeppelin]

The S8 and iPhone 8 are rumored to have all screen phones, no side, top or bottom bezels. Apparently new technology allows embedding of the fingerprint scanner under the glass, instead of a dedicated home button, so the bottom bezel can be eliminated. And other technologies allow the sensors at the top to be relocated so no top bezel.

Personally, I love it!! I would love to have an all screen phone. What say you?

You know, at first, I thought, "No way!", but now...

I would absolutely love the idea of a full-screen phone. All of the real estate at the front would be completely dedicated to the screen! Love it!

Yes please. My only reservation is fat finger overflow setting off unwanted things... If they made the devices a bit thicker, more square sided, they would be so much easier to hold....

Wow to the future

 

[martiaan]

I'm all for it, but I just don't want the palms of my hands to trigger the screen on the side when I'm holding it. Otherwise, it would be awesome.

Oh no! I never thought of that! Lol.

Sounds like a unicorn. And where would the dual front facing speakers that everyone clamors for be put?

I guess that would be so Yesterday???
But, seriously good question. Maybe built into the screen itself?

Happens to me all the time on my Note 5. Unintended screen touches Apple has handled, Android not so much.

Of course! That's the future!

Not sure if you are making fun of and belittling my comment or you genuinely didn't think of it. i think its the former at this point.

No! I had genuinely not thought of the fact that my fingers could slip and accidentally press things! I'm clumsy enough with the volume rockers and power button when they're on the sides of my phones... Lool.

I was definitely not belittling your comment! I'm sorry if you thought that I was!

Not a problem at all. Thank you for the reply.

No way...maybe smaller bezels yeah...but edge to edge screen seems unlikely. I think Jerry wrote it in one of his articles that you need the bezels as a place to rest your thumb. Personality thought I wouldn't mind seeing one...other than the Aquos Crystal...maybe Samsung.

Needs excellent palm rejection for it to work. Even without bezeless I'm still frustrated by palm touches of my profile button in Instagram when I'm trying to navigate with my thumb.

I think it'd be hard to find a case for a bezel-less phone.
