Weekly poll results: bring back full bezels until cams go under the screen

29 July 2018
Pop-up cameras are also an acceptable solution. But turning the notch into a hole in the screen doesn't make much sense.

    Yeah let's bring back 2014....like Sony do.

      Personally, i think Samsung is doing it the right way. Thin bezels on top and bottom are far better than any other solution possible right now. Eventually when cams can work behind screens, then we can move onto that solution. Until then, let's just stick with this.

          I don't mind bezel on top, bezel on bottom, as far as it's kept minimum. All I want is

          A) No notch! I want my screen to be complete, is that simple!?

          B) 3.5mm jack. I don't want to worry about another device to charge, is that simple!?

            The results make no sense. It seams people may dislike notches and vote against them, but when buying a phone they will mostly prefer notch over full bezel. Notch is always better than full bezel because one can always hide the notch but not vice versa.

                tomo100brt, 29 Jul 2018You don't play games on mobile phones, do you?Most people dont buy them selves phones just to play games on them. It's like you think all people who use phones today are kids that play games only.

                  Moj, 29 Jul 2018it seems you never used a bezel less phone ever! try to ty... moreIf screens standards today are mostly 5.5 to 6.x then it does not matter is the phone bezel-less or not to reach top edge with one hand. Even on 5 inch i had hard time reaching top edge with one hand and there was like 10mm bezels on top and bottom. If bezel-less phones would have 5 inch screens then there would be no problem handling them with one hand.

                    Personally don't care if there's a notch or not. What I want to see is trimming down the chin especially if there's no fingerprint sensor on the front. But from what I read, it's kinda expensive to do so since they have to put the display driver at the back of the panel (which the iPhone X does but its pretty costly) unlike what they're doing right now which is at the chin. If they're gonna have the fingerprint scanner at front, don't bother with a notch because it ruins the look at front.

                          We still need somewhere for speakers and proximity sensors to fit it's not just about the camera. Even a reasonably thin bezel can accommodate all 3

                              Just put a small, SECONDARY SCREEN on the back of the phone, together with cameras, microphones, speakers, scanners and everything else. Keep the front free from bezels and notches.

                                      I'd rather have full bezels rather than a disgusting, dead pixels area notch.
