Every time I read something about a phone, you're there with the same comments or a bit different. Stop being a fan boy and try to force your ides on to other people. You're in minority. I would never go back to a 2012 design no matter what a phone offers. So yeah, stop trolling or hating on others that don't agree with you. Just saying ...

Olympus Oms, 07 Jun 2022You did. Imagine a phone with 5" screen, with no bezel... moreNever mentioned baggy pants in the previous comments, only mentioned that male c(or men) pants have big enough pockets that worrying about screen sizes would be pointless. However worrying about dimensions would make more sense either way. Alright lets go modern. 5" wrap around display. Incredibly impractical and the Mi Mix Alpha had an almost 8" wraparound display in a body of similar dimensions as the iPhone 13 Pro. Imagine a wraparound 5" display on a phone. It would be tiny, and limited in many ways, but this is just an exaggerated example of a futuristic phone.
I was merely referring to the past as a reference point, like how I mentioned about aspect ratios and how if (I'm rephrasing it here) a 5" 16:9 phone like the Xperia X were to have an updated display with the screen to body ratio of 90%. It would have a 5.6" display with a taller aspect ratio in the same exact body, or vise versa where a tiny phone like if the 7th Gen iPod Touch, were to have a 5" screen. It would work if you're alright with a small battery, single camera, and limited hardware.
Lets be real here. A modern phone with a 5" 90% screen to body ratio display (a.k.a tiny bezels like the S22 Ultra) would not have a 4-5 Ah battery. I'd say 3.2 Ah tops with current battery tech. You'd be carrying an overheating phone as thick as a power bank otherwise. For reference of how thick it could be, it'd be like having a ZeroLemon case on a phone smaller than a 7th gen iPod Touch with little surface area for cooling. THICK and noticeable in the pockets.
If its a small phone that fits in a pocket you want its the Zenfone 8, Xperia 5 iii or the iPhone 13 Mini. All of which are bigger than 5", but fits any pocket because their width is below 70mm (the width, or its dimensions, are more important than the screen size).

OLED display makers should end their shortcuts using pentile/diamond/similar pixel configurations. I have middle aged eyes but I could see the difference/artifacts of OLED vs LCD.

Anonymous, 08 Jun 2022Go buy a Sony phone if you want a 2012 designHe's right you know..
My phone has slim bezels and it's a nightmare to use many times because of this and because of the curved display. Even though there's an accidental touch protection software, I still get accidental touches by mistake. It's awful watching YouTube and pressing by mistake on another video, having to wait for the commercials and for the skip button, then pressing back and waiting for another commercial, again! All of this because they couldn't add an extra millimeter or two to the bezels. And don't get me started with the round corners. They look cool, but are extra impractical. I mean there's no advantage to it. None.
Also, I'd rather have no selfie camera than a huge black cluster of dead pixels on the display!
Don't be a trend Mitch! Just saying..

You are only thinking 5" screen with bezels, as it was in the past. But I'm talking about today's phone design, but in the size of 5" screen. Stop thinking the past! Think future, but with a 5" screen (phone). And up to date hardware. Just 2-3mm thicker for big battery.

The single biggest problem with my display on my budget phone is the brightness. It's almost impossible to see it outside in the sun at max brightness. I'd rather it be a 720p 60Hz LCD with a notch but actually visible in the sun rather than it being an uninterrupted 1440p 120Hz 10-bit HDR AMOLED that is also impossible to see outside in the sun at max brightness.

FHD resolution and 120Hz panel won in their January 2021 poll, so why still include it?

I would go for DPI not for resolution ... 300dpi is quite bad acctualy, above 400dpi is hard to recognize (400 vs 500 vs 600 etc...) ...

Most important thing for me is display width (at least 74mm), aspect ratio (16:9) and brightness under sunlight. I absolutely despise narrow and long displays formats like all makes release nowadays as they make no sense when used for web browsing and reading text while holding the phone vertically, which is how most people use the phone 90% of the time. Pixel density is another important one but most of the phones today have no problems at that area. I technically don't quite care about the high refresh rate as for the curved vs non-curved I prefer non-curved due to easier use and less scratches in time.
