Cool, 19 Nov 2017People who vote 18:9 probably prefer to watch movies on their phones instead going to cinemaMost movies are still in 16:9 so even that's an argument against 18:9

Kangal, 19 Nov 2017Finally, a thread full of people that agree with me. Slim Bezel and 16:9 are NOT mutually e... moreI even prefer bigger bezels - more comfortable to hold. More thickness too - more comfortable and better specifications/performance (If they want to achieve it).

But either way, i'd never buy a 18:9 unless i'm forced to like they forced the non-removable batteries on us.

Finally, a thread full of people that agree with me.

Slim Bezel and 16:9 are NOT mutually exclusive.
In fact, together it is the best combination!
And when I say Slim Bezels, I really mean "Slim" like 80% StB ratio. If you go around removing all the bezels you end up with weird camera notches, a slippery design, fragile construction, and that annoying accidental-touch issue.

Hell, even a 16:9 device with large bezels can be practically superior to a 18:9 device with slim bezels, case in point: S7 vs S8. Why do you think people are crying to get the bulkier AT&T S8 Active over the Standard S8?

I hope we get something like the Alcatel Idol 3 concept, done properly in 2019.

16:9 with thin bezels are achievable. 18:9 makes the phone look like a TV remote control. Hope sony will release an updated design for their compact phones with thinner bezels.

What do bezels have to do with aspect ratio? I don't see why 16:9 phones "must" have bezels and they have to be 18:9 for less bezels?

That's another madness they are trying to normalize.

It is an extreme engineering solution by MOEs to make very small footprint 'phablets' using bezels-less and bigger screen to body ratio designs, all with questionable real tangible benefits to users, other than 'it's cool' !

16:9 screen and slender bezels are NOT mutually exclusive.

This is just MOEs attempt to milk it by combining small bezels + small footprint (i.e. compactness) for phablet haters + retain diagonal inches size for phablet lovers.
