Apple fever! Some 2022 Android phones will look and feel like an iPhone 13. Is that a good thing?
There’s always been something appealing about the look of an edgeless curved display. This effect is particularly striking withflagships were curved not only on the sides but also on the top and bottom, creating the illusion of a truly edgeless, melting on the sides screen. This is a good part of the reason the P40 Pro is on top of my wishlist of devices that I never got to own. It just looksCurves have their practical advantages over flat sides.
However, where flat sides win is with other practicalities such as palm rejection sensitivity and when you interact with content that happens to live in the very edges of your display. While palm-rejection has gotten much better compared to its Galaxy Note Edge and S7 series days, it’s still not flawless. For example, myseems to be pretty stable, but my Huawei P30 Pro definitely runs into some noticeable palm-rejection trouble every now and then.
The other thing that many won’t tell you is that a curved screen doesn’t give you the same assurance as a flat panel when it comes to interacting with content that happens to be on the edges of the screen. For instance, every time I attempt to copy text, which starts from the far left of the screen , I often get it right on the second or even third try. That’s likely because the phone thinks my finger is my palm that needs to get “rejected”.
On the flip side, flat phones don’t really get along with cases, especially thicker ones. If the screen is already leveled with the phone frame, adding a case with raised edges will not only protect it but also make it more difficult to navigate, using the same gestures that we talked about above. Your finger will run into the case edges every time you try to use gestures. Then if you don't have a case on, it's likely that a flat frame will dig into your hand...
It seems like there’s no right or wrong answer to the question of whether flat sides are better than curved sides, or if flat displays are superior to curved ones. What’s for sure is that Apple went flat, and Android followed suit.
