Discussion - I'm sick of modern phone screens (and Apple is to blame)

"The other day, I took a Galaxy S24 Ultra to test out some older One UI features since it wasn't updated to the latest software update, and I was instantly reminded how great a properly shaped screen looks. It lacks the excessively rounded edges and combines very thin bezels with nearly perfect right angles. It just feels right, and you get the maximum screen real estate."

Most comfortable phone I've ever had & the display is still amazing.

I get the complaint, and iPhones definitely took it to the extreme...but more rounded corners do make a phone more pocketable and comfortable to hold.

No, it’s you to blame. You have a weird taste. Apple doesn’t owe you anything. Make your own phone and stop righting boring 💩 articles…🥱

First, when phones were rectangle with sharp edges, you complained to curve them so the phone is more comfortable to hold.

Also OEM"s did copy this idea from Apple. Several phones have had curved screens long before the iPhone, the screen just didn't take up the phone front of the phone.

I get so sick of the lying claim that everyone is copying Apple. Apple isn't the blame for anything. You don't have to buy a phone with a curved screen.

Get the Fold 7 or 8. Those screens aren't curved. Or get something older.

I personally prefer the curved edges do that they are gouging dents into my hand when I hold it. Espcially this is important when i game, because most of my games require landscape.

There is just no pleasing you guys. You complained when they wasn't curved. Then you was happy when they curved them. Then you whine you want the square again.

Just make you own phone. It's now easy. Just pull the parts from another phone, use CAD and design a shell and then 3D print it and put the internals into it.

Agreed. I prefer the S24 Ultra's design to the S25 or S26. But it's hard to count how many times "reviewers" praised the change because "it doesn't dig into your palms". SMH.

Screens should have perfectly squared corners, not rounded...

"it doesn't dig into your palms". SMH.

Dude! Thank you! You don't know how many times I get tired of hearing that sh¡t. I use mine with & without a case for extended amounts of time & not once has it ever felt like it was digging into my palms.
