Myself I don't mind a bezel, with a chin and a notch. Wouldn't mind smaller phones too, indeed it's what's keeping me in my 2016 phone, New ones are too big and too thick.

I can't imagine anyone who would want a flagship SoC, could possibly want anything smaller than a 6.5" display. People like you are the reason wars start. You can't for a second put yourself in someone else's shoes and imagine they might have different priorities than you. Well congratulations - the market is saturated by phablets and those of us that want a bone thrown to us every once in a while are told to go suck a lemon by the likes of you.

"as long as the SoC is designed correctly, the 845 will expend almost identical power when compared to a 600 series of the same manufacturing process running the same panel with the same task load."
Take this from someone who has done this as an engineering task. I've designed two boards to go into a extensible system with the same physical attributes - one had an iMX6 solo, the other had an iMX6 Quad. The idea being that customers that wanted a quad core in their systems could have one. All other supporting systems were identical, including the display. And guess what? Both running the same resolution panel with identical processor load drew virtually identical power.
"I guess you also buy graphics cards like RTX 2080's for 720p screens on PC?"
Go talk to a few miners. I guarantee they're not running games on these things and almost certainly running the rigs entirely headless. Again, your tendency to presume that everyone is just like you, is clouding your judgment. Tread lightly, as you might find this outlook will land you in hot water one day.

We do not have to go through these stages, but consumers are so needy they want and expect a new device every 6 months. Thus the see of mobile hardware junk continues to deepen month to month...
Lets say Samsung or Huawei decided to "wait". Yep I used that crazy word! What if they waited to release a flagship device until it met standards consumers really needed or wanted? Neither the maker nor the consumer could handle that, so we have the current formula of hardware being put in our faces year to year...

There is zero advantage with having an overpowered processor with a small screen. Theoretically for calculating complicated things, but then we're back at the physical limitations of a tiny screen. You can't do anything complex on it as you can't see anything more advanced that basic web pages and play lists. So, take this as a serious advice, stop dreaming of an overpowered processor in a tiny phone with a tiny battery and no room for heat dispersion. It might sound cool but it's pointless.
Your idea that a huge processor can be as efficient as an optimised small processor falls flat on the fact that Intel failed miserably on mobile, because you know, it wasn't particularly optimised for those long periods where id barely had to do anything. We would all use AMD Threadrippers in our phones if that was a reality...

It's in the name power *consumption*. Spare capacity is analogous to current. Current isn't pushed, it's pulled. In the same way, processing time isn't pushed, it's pulled. If you stick a low resolution panel on an 845, as long as the SoC is designed correctly, the 845 will expend almost identical power when compared to a 600 series of the same manufacturing process running the same panel with the same task load. In this comparison, the 845 is analogous to a bigger power supply. Just because you put a 1kW PSU in your PC, does that mean that your PC now pulls 1kW at all times? No, of course not. It's spare capacity - spare capacity which I would much rather see put to use on something of my choosing, instead of rendering a pointless excess of pixels.

Honestly why do we even care about a 100% STB?
having bezels at the top and bottom allows for dual speakers/other components to fit & it give our FINGERS to hold on to the device without obstructing the viewing experience

What you did on a 4" phone in 2010 doesn't require any more than mid range performance.
See it from the positive side, you'll get a lot more standby with a simpler phone, too...
