I can't wait for that one company to come out with a phone with bezels larger than the actual screen and be covered in headphone jacks

[Dammitimmad]

The Notch is like the Puberty stage of Phones

2 years later and my iphone 11 still has the same sized notch

[famuel]

We were so busy asking if we could, we never stopped to ask if we should

[IsaacOz]

I like the notch but I do prefer Samsung's way of compacting everything. But hell in 10 years all phones will look the same from the front.

Watching this video on a OnePlus 7 pro in July 2019. Seems pretty hilarious.

Watching this in 2020 really shows how fast tech is moving

[Cyranek]

talking about an earpiece as if people still make calls on these things smh

I don't see what the fuss is about bezel-less phones. Is having a thin top bezel to house the camera, sensors, and speakers a real deal breaker? Seriously, this has got to be the world's greatest first-world problem.

[CAHOP]

I don't think we need bezeless. Very thin bezels on the top or bottom work just fine imo

[Texagon]

I think iPhone 12 is gonna ditch the front camera and say "not having the front camera is the future"

[Coolkids]

Why is no bezel better? Is it an assumption that it is better? I have never once thought about bezels until people started telling me I should think about it.

[FaheemKhan-bsyk]

Apple will be like "Let's remove front facing camera this year"

"Hopefully it's just a phase" - any parent ever 😂

[ChristSimd]

Anyone else doesn't really hate bezels that much ? I would personally prefer great front facing speaker with bezels then loose feature and pay more for bezelless.

[UnPhayzable]

In a few years we're just gonna be walking around projecting holographic screens.. Hopefully they'll still have headphone jacks

[nibinmatteo]

Seeing this vid again after 2yrs is like taking a stroll down the memory lane

[mykemathews]

We don't need zero bezels. We just need minimized bezels. S9 design all the way.

Oh man I remember this all like it was yesterday. It felt like the bezels were neverending for the longest time, then one summer a flurry of Chinese phones came out that just eliminated the bezels entirely, completely out of the blue. I remember the hype of mechanical front-facing cameras that would slide out the top of the phone, just these insane concept phones. Then the S8 and iPhone X came out, and in a sense that was the birth of the contemporary smartphone. Wild times.
