Hmm, this phone is made of plastic. I hate plastic. It's so cheap.
Buys phone with glass back.
Second day: Oops, I accidentally doped it from 1 meter and it smashed!
Goes to shop to repair phone.
Shop owner recommends him to put a case on the back so that the phone will be protected.

Phone is now covered in plastic but hey, at least you solved your problem right ??

              We're going backwards with this all screen hoopla. After they started punching holes on the screen, next would come piercings and tattoos.
              Stop the fuss and silly fantasies, and bring back the bezels and chins for TANGIBLE user experience and device functionality.

                Guys saying that wrong input from the hand can be easily overcome by devs making the phone ignore input from the sides, its not hard to do, two lines of code!

                  i think its sexy having a piece of glass instead of huge metal frames, the same goes for television, we see more TVs with smaller bezels and this is sexy

                          No. Keep it.

                            I honestly don't like the bezel-less concept all that much. Bezels provide a lot of benefits (grip, design, HW buttons, FF Speakers, etc). Things were going great till they were aiming for small bezels (e.g. S8, Mate 10 Pro). Then the whole bezel-killing trend started & it has created new problems (notches, holes, chins, etc)

                                      Phone is the only industry that treat customer like guinea pigs, yet manage to ripp off millions.

                                        All display is the future but I hope its not just boring slab design we had.two years ago and OEMs keep bringing up creative solutions like sliders, flips, pop ups etc even when cameras move under display without any cutouts
