"unsimetric"


Oh, come on... I realize English may not be your native language, but you are a writer (it is important to at least understand the language you are writing in). Even spell-check would have flagged this one, so you clearly aren't proof-reading before publishing.


While 'Unsymmetric' is technically a word, it is far less common than 'asymmetric'.


However, 'unsimetric' is not a valid word in the English language.

Dude, I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes grammar seriously. I can't stand seeing someone make a grammatical error & then say, "iT's jUsT tHe iNtErNeT" when they're called out on it. But for years it seems like the writers on Phone Arena just compose their articles on whatever device they're using & just click post.

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.

Yea, they actually don't.

Even my text messages are complete sentences, with correct grammar. There's no excuse.

Absolutely agree. Please no more curved screens or corners. Dumbest idea.

If it has a curved screen it is dead to me.

💯 When texting on flip phones I'd damn near reach the 160 character limit almost every time because I, too, text in complete sentences. No excuse, like you said.

The iPhone got so popular that the S26 Ultra not only has a flat screen, but also rounded edges, more rounder than the S26 and the S26+. Also 2 years ago they where some curved screen phones, like the Realme GT6, the Realme 12 Pro, the Honor 200 (Pro)... Now all of these have flat edges.
