FYI, bezelless also reduce the selfie quality, because it can only use a smaller camera lens to fit in the bezel-less.

    MrJulli, 25 Oct 2017All wide angled camera phones usually gets distorted photos... moreOf course, we expect wide angle lenses to have distortion. But we also expect Sony to have it corrected by default, and at the point of release of the phone. Not release an update to fix it months after the release, and not have it enabled by default. Even in professional cameras, distortion correction is enabled by default.

Once the glass is broken, the shards can pierce through the panel. No amount of bezels will save the screen. Anyway with and without bezels, the glass has the same chance of breaking when you drop the phone.

              Sure, it is possible that a large distortion would considerably affect the whole image, but, in this case, it seems that the effect is localized mainly in the center of the picture ence, there sould be non need to affect peripheral pixels.
              BTW, you should also take in consideration a lot of other factors before talking about crop and similar, because you'd always see a post-processed image since sony doesn't support raw format (alas!).

                      Anyone that does photo editing will know that when you correct distortion it will also crop the image. No thanks.

                        I am too, I choose stereo sound quality over simple slight volume bump.
                        But it doesnt change the fact that mini hifi stereo device is just better tech than mono FM wakeup clock.

                          Anonymous, 25 Oct 2017Ermm no.

When dropped on its side, the Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note 8 are all of higher chance of screen damage due to the fact that there is little to no protection at all to the screen on the sides.

                            AnonD-392500, 25 Oct 2017I always prefer a single lould speaker over weak stereo speakers.Except this time, Sony made the speakers 40% louder, which is enough to be heard from a distance or in a very noisy environment.

                            Even then the speakers are more than loud enough in the past.

                            After all, stereo sound is a must for flagships, and anyone without it is considered "weak."

                                        This should not even be an option. So Sony thinks the distortion is acceptable? The correction should be automatically applied to every photo taken.
