      Concept 1 is literally add a tumor bezel.

        Hope all other brands will follow this trend.

          IpsDisplay, 19 Mar 2019Don't shift the goal postI literally just responded to your comment about the nubia x with "I'm not going to buy that because it's adding something unnecessary." In the same way I'd like a phone without a front camera because it's unnecessary for me.
          By "no front camera," I mean literally just that. Don't make a notched phone, don't make a slider phone, don't make a phone with a smaller display at the back so you can use the rear camera for selfies. Just make a phone that you are unable to take selfies with, no gimmicks. How is this "shifting the goal post?"

              I actually like the design of a raised tear drop notch or side notch. At least the design works for me.

                I don't mind a notch, but I hate lumps and bumps on my phone. This V idea is terrible, it takes the camera bump to a monstrous new level. Someone make a phone with the power and volume buttons flush against the body please.
                The S looks better but seems unwieldly. Imagine trying to film a music event amongst a crowd, how would you maintain a firm grip without sliding it closed?

                  Fayth, 19 Mar 2019might as well put keyboard on the side slider mechanism like the good ole days with the likes of Nokia N97, SE X series, etc :3

                    IpsDisplay, 19 Mar 2019Ever heard of the Vivo NEx 2 or the Nubia X? I have. But now, why would I pay for a second screen that I'm still never going to use?

                          That's a very interesting design. I like the side opening design.

                            ffs I hate all these bezelless and cut out phones. An s9 sized bezel is perfect. Able to get all the sensors and notification leds you want in there.

                                Meizu Pro 7 Plus Plus, for Christ's sake! Bone conduction earpiece + secondary screen on the back = PERFETTO, no notches, no chins, no borders, no nothing. And not necessarily 18/19/19.5/20/20.9:9, please =)

                                  Lol...so their solution is to put some ears on the phone

                                    The Axon V design is useless. Technically the protrusion is still screen real estate.

                                      I just realized that Axon S design has the potential to be really special. That side slider could hold a stereo speaker setup like the HTC 7 Surround. Modern bezel-less phones don't offer dual front-facing stereo speakers due to lack of space, but using the side slider for that purpose is genius. There would be enough space on the slider for two speakers (left & right) & the selfie camera can be placed in the middle. I can see the Chinese companies doing that. I hope they do. It would be an interesting product for sure.
