The battle to kill the smartphone bezel is going too far. Samsung, Huawei, and One Plus all sell phones with curved screens that make the edges of the display seem practically invisible at first glance. Pop-up cameras and notches have pushed displays to the tippy-top of the frame.

I’ll admit that Infinity Displays (https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/what-is/infinity-display/) and Dewdrop screens (https://www.hihonor.com/ph/blog/which-honor-device-has-dewdrop-notch-display/) make for gorgeous renders—you need look no further than the leaked Note 10 shots (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3411973/samsung-galaxy-note-10-preview.html) to see that. But when you get past the prettiness, the only thing that thin bezels do is make our phones harder to use and easier to break.
