A screen is rectangular. Period.
Rounded corners are just hidden content.
A screen bending over the edge is just distorting the picture. Even if it's just the glass bending a little at the edge. I prefer a picture that is not distorted.
I currently have a phone with a camera in a tiny notch. I'd rather not have that, but it's actually not as big a problem as the round corners.
Given the constraint that the notch canβt physically be fully covered with pixels, I actually consider the pixels on either side of the notch to be extra pixels. However, the OS should play media in a rectangular shape, i.e. not using the extra pixels on either side of the notch. Of course it would be even better if there was no notch at all, but not at the expense of having less pixels overall, in my opinion. Those pixels can be used for status icons and such. I agree with your other points.
Yes, if the software supports the small notch properly, it's not really a problem.
My favorite phone was the Xperia xz1 compact with a 4.7in rectangle screen. I really wish that small phones were still being made by major manufacturers. Seems like only small companies like unihertz are making them but many modern features are missing. My Zflip3 is close in pocket size but it would be nice if the screen was smaller.
Definitely square. Loved the original Xperia Z. Currently looking at the Nubia z50 ultra, but it apparently doesn't have great support outside of China
Square edges like the Sony smartphones
Square fan as well, I've had few Samsungs in a row and I still haven't got accustomed to the curved edges.
I want a flat screen oled Samsung and for them to get their head out their asses about these rounded edges. It's impossible to find a good screen protector
Square edge fan and flat display. Itβs exactly what I want and works flawlessly. Ive seen curved edges on S7, S8. Weird color tint as you turn screen and generally annoying when just gripping the device.
