Either a previous leak regarding the sensors used wasn't accurate, or this one isn't.

I think all of my phones have a curved display and I don't mind it. There's no shortage of screen protectors, as a lot of the screens are made by the same provider, so one protector can be used on multiple phones. I miss using my GT2 Pro as my daily driver and if this phone is of the same quality, it will be a nice device.

    Oh god, a curved screen.

    And an 8mp ultrawide camera?

      BIZZ, 02 Nov 2023Why you hate Curved Displays.. ?? I am considering to buy M... moreI posted this in another post but here goes for you as well.

      When samsung introduced market the curved display back in with s6 series, it gained my attention. However, I quickly realized that you should consider from a user friendliness perspective when you buy a phone. Why? Because curved displays is very prone to crack. How? The curved display going around edges makes it receive the impact from the area that you drop your phone. If there's aluminium or any metal covering the edges they take that impact better than glass. There's a tiny amount of plasticy glue on the edges of every display and it helps the glass not to receive impact, bouncing structurally.

      Another thing with curved display is that you can't install tempered glass easily. Companies struggles with making a perfect curved full sticky screen protector. There's one methodology that I used a lot that you use uv curring glue while installing. However if you somehow crack that that glass and if your glass doesn't come off with that hardened glue, good luck! It's so damn hard to get rid of that glue... I went through hell throughout the years with curved displays.

      There are other types of glasses that have tehir own glue but companies struggle to make that curve around edges sitting on display just fine. Even if they do, using a damn protective case also another problem. Because they might push your protective glass upward decreasing your screen touch sensitivity.

      Another factor with tempered glasses with self stick is that they prevent you registering your fingerprint easily. Why? Cuz most of the flagship level phones uses under display fingerprint reader nowadays. Some of them are even ultrasonic. So damn hard to register only works with uv glued tempered glass.

      So you're left with plastic or soft screen protectors like the ones they installed during production. They have zero impact protection, easily transferring the damage to the screen. They scratch so easily so you need but again and again.

      For the sake of the esthetics, they make these flagship devices with damn curved displays. I don't even mention the difficulty with single hand using that the display registers accidental touches on the edge. Then producers had the idea of decreasing the sensitivity in that areas making it hard to touch there when you're using an app such youtube to drag and leave the player seeker.

      Another point also that the curved displays are really hard to repair when it comes to changing the glass only. What I mean is that most of the cases of a broken display involves the situation that top glass cracked which is hardly glued during production on the top of the real display layer. There's a repair method for this involving the heat and carefully dissecting the display from glass. Later you install another glass with OCA, apply pressure/Suction to sit just fine. Guess what? It's so damn easy with normal displays to enter that layer between two. But so damn hard to do with curved that you can kill pixels all together.

      Every time a curved glass cracks and the display unit itself is fine, what people do is to order a whole display unit again and throw the old one in thrash. The planet is full of electronic waste so good luck the future of humanity. Profitability over repairable... Damn companies and their strange unfriendly decisions...

      Should I count even more? Or the ones above are satisfactory?

        If I were concerned it would be why in less that a week, 'new specs' are announced by the very same person

        No explanation offered whatsoever. Last week I said thar, today I said this.

        One or both is wrong, or two versions of this soon to be released phone.
        The most likely is hedging bets as he doesn't and didn't have a source, however unreliable

          Anton el duro, 01 Nov 2023Nobody wants that curved garbage anymore!! This is said by ... moreSadly, the 8 Pro's bezels aren't as slim as the iPhone 15PM. I can appreciate flat displays, but by doing so they're thickening the bezels, and I don't appreciate that.

          Only iPhone 15PM, Meizu 20 Pro and Nubia Z50S Pro has flat displays with slim bezels (honorable mention: Nubia Z50 Ultra). Kudos to those phones. I will wait for the rest of the brands to catch up.

                Hopefully the camera would unique just like Realme GT2Pro.. that have 50MP 150° ultrawide camera.

                  Nobody wants that curved garbage anymore!! This is said by someone who has had thousands of phones with curved panels!! It is the only point in favor that I give to the pixel 8 pro, which has its flat panel

                    OEMs would save millions of dollars this way.

                      8 MP ultrawide? The hell is Realme so damn obsessed with that amount of megapixels?
