Why? because the bezel on ALL SIDES are symettrical (top, bottom, left, right) they're all 4mm

I love this better than android phone like Note8 which have 0 bezel on the sides yet still have some (bezels) on top and bottom which makes it ugly narrow phone shaped like TV Remote.

Also Mimix2 is ugly since it's bottom bezel unequal with other sides, asymettrical and looks weird.

      A little bit of bezels is useful, like when having to repair the display and such. But given how much wasted bezel space the iPhone X (same with the Apple Watch), it's no wonder it still has poor screen to body ratio among 2017 phones with the bezelless trend.

              I guess the demand will be much more than that, I live in Dubai and I can already see people anxiously waiting for the release of iPhone X. It is always the case when every time apple change design no matter whatever it is.

                  FaceID being more secure than TouchID is a big fat lie. That's just their excuse for their failure to implement TouchID under the screen, and failing to find a spot to place the TouchID sensor on the back or on the power button.

                  Just talk to any security expert and they'll tell you than Facial recognition, 3D or not is nowhere near as secure as fingerprint. The fact that twins can fool Facial recognition is more than enough proof of that, while twins can't fool fingerprint recognition because even identical twins have different fingerprints.

                  Iris scanning is the most secure among fingerprint, facial and iris recognition, but it is the most inconvenient. Fingerprint is the most convenient. Overall, fingerprint is the best option for phones because it is secure enough while being convenient.

                              It's a touch screen device, avoiding accidental touch is hard without some bezel aroud the phone(example xperia xa, no side bezel or s8 with curved side) don't sacrifice practicality for look

                                  Just look at the size of the bezels around the screen of the iPhone X. You can land a plane on those.

                                  Even the S8 and V30 has a bigger screen to body ratio than the iPhone X. And they're not even true bezelless since they have small bezels at the top and bottom. Apple is notorious for poor screen to body ratio and the iPhone X is no differeny.

                                        Fail ID er I mean FaceID is just a half-baked software excuse for failing to find a proper place to put a fingerprint sensor either under the screen, on the power button or the back of the phone.

                                        It's not even as secure as Apple claims. The fact that twins can fool it is proof of that, while even identical twins can't fool a fingerprint sensor because even they have different fingerprints. Talk to any security expert and they'll tell you facial recognition is the least secure among fingerprint, iris and facial recognition. Iris recognition is the most secure, with fingerprint second and facial recognition least secure. Fingerprint is most convenient while Iris recognition is least convenient. In terms of cost, facial recognition is cheapest while Iris is most expensive.
