Bezel-less phones: are they worth it to you?

[MandoPanda]

Personally, I don't like the current trend to get rid of bezels all together. I have a Nexus 6 with a case on it. The bezels allow me to hold the phone one handed without accidentally touching the screen.

 

I'm not a fan of notches, a result of the anti-bezel movement, unless they can be hidden with an OLED that is turned off at the top (something like the v40's 'second screen' function).

 

Furthermore, I am not a fan of losing the fingerprint functionality when trying to get rid of bezels (like in the iPhone). I know that under screen fingerprint reader technology is already out there and it's guaranteed to make it to the iPhone, but I personally don't like the idea of buying a phone that has lost features.

 

What do you all think? Do you mind having bezels?

Not until they figure out how to ignore my touches from the sides of the phone. Kinda like palm rejection on notebook trackpads.

 

Used an s8 for a while and got reeeeally annoyed by the curved edges registering taps out of nowhere.

I would prefer at least a bit of bezel so that I can put on my Otterbox Defender or scanner case.

Never have and never will buy flagships/high end phones, so for me its not a thing. but I really dont like this trend of phones being a fashion statement, but thats what sells and people like so thats what will happen. for me every phone will  have its case because I drop it at least twice a week anyway.

Friends of mine has an LG G6 & it seemed about perfect for bezels.

No bezels is definitely the way to go, it gives you a bigger screen in a smaller footprint. I want a big screen but I don’t want to have to carry an iPad with me to get it

Small bezels are okay with me. 

 

But I don't like how we're going towards a future where there are zero bezels. 

 

Unless they nail palm rejection, that's going to be a usability mess
