1 Edge-to-Edge(ier) Design

iPhone X is Apple’s first smartphone device to nearly do away with the thick, ghastly bezels which have encompassed iPhone displays from the get-go. Sadly, when we consider the obtrusiveness of the iPhone X’s notch, in particular, the handset doesn’t exactly give off the full-on edge-to-edge image we’d been lead to believe it would.

Samsung’s S9 and S9+, however, boast among of the most impressive “edge-to-edge” displays currently available on a smartphone. Not only do they feature a staggering 92 percent screen-to-body ratio, but the company’s gorgeous, 5.8- and 6.2-inch AMOLED ‘Infiniti Displays’ are designed to truly stretch (from edge to edge) across the whole front surface of the device.

Embarrassingly, Samsung’s notch is even much smaller than Apple’s — although the latter’s TrueDepth camera system does run circles around the S9’s camera tech.
