"for little to no image distortion" - no, there is image distortion and glares on edges of curved screens.
Btw, Meizu numerously made phones with side bezels as thin as ~2 mm on each side - without curving the display. If Meizu did this - anyone should be able to. So, the "argument" of making phones narrower is lame.

The curved screen is actually beneficial to some as it makes the phone easier to hold by being narrower at the sides and offering a larger screen on a narrower device for little to no image distortion, this coming from someone using an 1+ 7 Pro rather than people who've never used one.

"Premium" has no value.
Curved displays look stupid because of their inconvenience and impracticality which are unacceptable for any consumer electronics, especially smart_phones.
Yourdaddy, 18 Jun 2020Haters gonna hate! What a big problem, curved display! Serios? We, sane people, are neither "haters", nor "fans" of anything. Curved display is inconvenient, impractical feature. Consumer electronics, especially smart_phones, must not have any impracticality at all.

I'd go for this Xiaomi, but the missing SD card is a deal breaker for me.
That's why I chose MI9 Lite instead (and Redmi K30).
So 64mp (the same sensor in the Motorola Edge "lite" flagship) is called a downgrade?
Remember when just over a year ago Samsung and iPhones had 12mp as the standard? lol.

The "alternatives" section is using the wrong Realme phone.
The Realme X2 is the correct competitor for this, it's almost exactly the same spec-for-spec, you gain a better camera and SD card slot, and give up 20% of the battery size, but save a bunch of money.

First of all the shape of the curve is more like 5 year old Samsung edge phones than modern curved displays. Second, it's time companies start seeing that the curve cause more issues than it solves, wait, what was the problem with flat screens again? Even Samsung, the culprits behind this bs trend, have started to reconsider it. There is an other problem, a big one actually, this is a mid-range device, some corners must be cut to include such a display, I'm afraid that this curve is going to cause problems on the long term like the ones we saw with the s7 edge.

the only use of curve which was somewhat with a purpose was the note edge. i prefer flat with bezels than bezel less curved.
also the curved glass is easier to break than flat one.
