Is thin bezels a thing that anyone, outside handset reviewers, actually care about?

49

The people tasked with making them smaller care. To the extent that it impacts their paycheck anyway.

I happen to like having the edges of my fingers or hand touch the screen inadvertently every time I pick up my phone. Bonus points if it's unlocked and something unintended happens as a result.

As a small phone enjoyer, I do! The thinner the bezels, the better the screen to body ratio is. It also looks better imo

And bigger batteries, and headphone jacks, and SD card slots, and front facing speakers, and the magnetic stripe thing for Samsung pay. I miss all that shit, and even the ir blaster for that matter. Phones used to be so cool, like I seriously don't care if my phone is a few nanometers thicker if it actually makes use of the space

That's seriously my top contender for my next phone right now, and it's a model more than a year old. But it's the only 1 of 2 available phones on the market with 5g, a removable battery, and an SD card slot. Fucking baffles me.

Yeah but unlike Fairphone this actually comes with a headphone jack aswell. It was an easy decision for me since there literally was no alternative. Been happy with it so far.

And this processor will be better than last year... The best one yet

But the battery cannot be replaced without huge effort and they will stop updates after two years...so it will be e-waste in 24 months anyway.

Just in time to buy the S26.

I love thin phones! It makes them feel like regular phones once I put a case on them. Lol

Cool more electronic garbage to break easier than the last over priced electronic garbage. Samsung need to focus on making responsible long lasting repairable upgradable devices especially not cheap garbage designed to break as soon as possible

I think small bezels are really annoying. When you put a case that has a lip around the edges it's really problematic when you need to tap something on the edges of the screen. Plus I keep accidentally touching screen when holding the phone.

Doesn't impress me much. My bezels have been slim enough at least since note 9.

Lol I remember the release of the iPhone X where the world was amazed by the thinness of the bezels. Those were still thicker than the bezels on the Galaxy S8.

yeah, but the s8,s9 had thick top and bottom bezels instead of the notch+uniformly thin bezels on the iphone

Nice. But I'd rather have an SD card slot, headphone jack, and a bigger, removable battery. Seriously, I don't give a fuck otherwise.

I'm on a Galaxy S7'edge' that I really need to migrate away from. I don't want the foldable, and I'm not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?
