Shanti Dope, 01 Jan 2019Come on! You talk so many things on something that you hav... moreIt's a goddamn phone. It will be used in portrait mode most of the time.

And people got used to something because idiot manufacturers pushed them to it so users have no choice.

    Come on!
    You talk so many things on something that you haven't even seen or tried in personal yet, and assume them based on pure imagination.
    Many of the comments here sounds similar to what people also said when 18:9 was about to come to smartphones. Guess what, people eventually got over it and accepted it as a standard, since it also gives many advantages over the old 16:9 ratio, arguably it has more advantages than disadvantages.
    In comparison, 21:9 is actually an industry standard ratio and there are hundreds to thousands of contents that are made in this particular ratio.

    Now go on and list me some popular movies you know that were shot originally in 18:9 or 18.5:9 or 18.7:9 or 19:9 or 19.5:9 ratio.

        And rumor has it that they will use it mainly so they can incorporate a PS alike on screen side contols for gaming whilst keeping 16:9 clear gaming screen area in the middle.
        But that aspect ratio is ridiculousy wrong and unpractical for common everyday mobile usage.

          jamesschwarz987, 31 Dec 2018That's XZ3 is symmetrical, learn your Etymology.Nah I notice that the top bezel is larger than the bottom one, which is opposite of the XZ2 (which has the larger chin than forehead).

              VKhon, 31 Dec 2018Yeah, maybe but Sharp somehow managed to squeeze everything... moreI would love to see the result of small bezels on compact, I can guarantee that! I prefer smaller phones and this kind of a device would be superb for me! But hey, somehow doubt they would introduce something so extraordinary. We can only hope...

                  Anonymous, 01 Jan 2019Looks beautiful, but a regular bezel on 21:9 screen? really excellent design by SONY... i will buy this!!!

                    Its not xz4 but xz3+ sony never releases flagship model number 4 CMIIW

                      this is how a screen should looks like: No hole on the screen!
                      And I love the side FP too. I'm still using my Z5P, Can't wait to get XZ4

                        Its pretty boring to see under every god damn new phone the bezel squad. The sheeple starts to be pretty annoying. Hate those who are after the fashion but not after the features ...

                          zamroni1, 01 Jan 2019I wonder why sony's mobile phone hardware design very often... more No, it's called forward thinking, fearlessness and innovating. You should be doing the same if you aren't.

                            Compact model would be more interesting and probably of sensible size. But no 3.5 so au revoir nigs.

Also each time you wash it , wouldn’t surprise me if it weakened it’s water proof capability’s.
                                  Also that assuming you having damaged the device creating a void to allow water in..

Apple iPhone XS Max is 19.5:9 with next to no bezeldue to the notch and is 6.20 inches tall. Which imo is close to the max you can go.. before the device will bend in you’re pocket when you sit down. I had the note 8 which was 6.40 which is bigger in tallness than the note 9 btw and having that in my pocket was like I had a brick in my pocket. And at points a pain to get out of jeans and work trousers.. I can’t imagine how much of a pain this will be...

                                      Bezel seems to be getting smaller.. I wasn’t sure that 18.5:9 was going to take off or the 19.5:9 on the iPhone with the notch. But it seems okay in most people’s hands.. though I’m sure some people would still prefer a 16:9 complete bezeless phone .. I can’t see 21:9 taking I mean it’s will be like carrying around a brick in your pocket.. the iPhone XS Max is 6.20 inches the average brick size in the uk is 8.20 inches.. now if you include the Sony xz4 has bezels and has a taller displayed... I mean how close to a brick size is it gonna be .. I mean yes it thinner.. doesn’t mean it won’t bend in your pocket every time you sit down though.. in jeans..
