          Iris and finger scanner means this information is sold to Government organisations all around the world. You do not own anything when using Google, or Facebook for that matter.

            consumersmartphone, 18 Feb 2017For +$800 phone you still need case? lolWhat are you talking about. No matter how durable, how shiny, how pricey a smartphone is, I still gonna put a case on it

                Cross comparing is fine but understand that's not where these direct percentages come from

                        they took the logo out in asia market since last year though
                        we probably have to force ourself to buy their crappy phone to meet their quota
                        so they can finally take that ugly logo off for NA / EU market

                          [deleted post]Sony makes some of the most handsome handsets out there. I'm not saying they're the best but they do make good looking phones. That's my opinion. I'm not saying yours is wrong, though.

                            Simple, 17 Feb 2017Hold your smartphone with your right hand in a way the body... moreWhat about the 10% of the world's population who are left handed? If you use the phone with your left hand it's almost impossible to use the finger print scanner. Plus if you use the phone in landscape mode the FP is impossible to find. Although my biggest bug bear is you have to pick the phone up to open it when it's lying on the table etc.

                                Why do they need to put their f***** logo on the front of the smartphone? Seriously, I thought with these thinner bezels they would learn. I was wrong.

                                  I guess the fingerprint sensor is embeded in the home screen and it has a dual camera so thats why its so big at the rear (camera space)

It is made that way to compensate the pixel count loss due to the rounded corner of the screen similarly seen in Mi Mix. Watching movie will still be on 16:9 ratio on landscape mode and there will be black bar on both right and left side. Dont worry too much about it. Even the curved is made even more subtle than Note7.
