    Guys there has to be a frame at the top and bottom to balance the phone. I know everyone wants it to be "topless" or "bottomless" or no bezels. Let's be real guys. it's hard to hold a phone with no bezels. It's hard to press something at the bottom of the frame. This I think is the most Samsung can do with current technology. Mi Mix is a big step but to be honest it's still a little awkward to have the camera at the bottom etc.... just my 2 cents.

        Someone Else, 17 Feb 2017The problem with Samsung is that their Galaxy S7 edge is al... moreHaha, that's good one. In S7's era Samsung's cameras slipped from best to second best or 3rd best. It has long lost the comfort of not having to charge the battery (we used to swap), it's actually the first year that it is clearly slower than Chinese phones in day to day tests (oneplus 3, Le eco 3).

        I don't know whence come this myth. S7 edge was good by previous Samsung standards (which were very bad). The best Samsung for its era was and remains the S4. Best camera that year, swappable battery (literally zero charge time), first 1080p amoled, top RAM for the time... I can go on you know, people have small memories.

          Don't even compare HTC's stupid design with Samsung's design !!!!
          HTC had 10000 inches of useless space the bottom which was ridiculous.
          Samsung barely has about 2-3 mm.

                AnonD-404798, 17 Feb 2017 aspect ratio of 18:9 sucks , why they not make it 16:9 wit... more16:9 is really bad when you have soft keys though, also with no bezels it will look awkward, too squarish for a phone.

                I think the best is 17:9 like Xiaomi. First because it is the aspect ratio of true 4k (4096x2160) so it would be great for movies and VR. Secondly it allows for a 16:9 area when the soft keys are on so no need for major reprogramming of app uis (not at all in fact). Lastly is it far less square looking than bezeless 16:9

                17:9 is the best compromise for bezeless phones. A bit of how 3:2 is the best copromize for tablets...

                  pricey. The Mi Mix seems more reasonable to me. Or, a One plus 4 with storage expansion.

                            The fingerprint scanner looks like it was taken straight out of Samsung's old home button.

                              Hold your smartphone with your right hand in a way the body of the phone fully on top of your palm. You will see all your four fingers appear on the left side and your thumb on the right side. Look at your index finger. It should appear at the top most left side. Move that index finger slightly to the right towards the rear side. You index finger will land directly on the fingerprint sensor. This is the idea behind Samsung fps placement.
