I laughed, Sony is innovative though, they're going for the biggest bezels of all time with each release.
Has Samsung out-apple Apple?

X look like the Essential Phone and iPhone had a child with birth defects.
OP forgot to mention the horrendous bixby button on the side.. not to mention bixby in general. Want to remap it? Sure, but it causes your phone to lag a bit more. Also the fact that random people talking could trigger bixby voice. Happened to me a couple times when I was watching a movie or even out in public. Good thing samsung also included google voice.
Everything else about the s8+ is pretty good.

Mi Mix 2 has bezels at the bottom, none at the top. Apple has bezels at the top, none on the bottom. They were able to do it. Design wise theyre phone looks better than Apples. Functionally Id say its worse because the camera is at the bottom, but were talking looks not function here.
Future phones may copy the X, but the X is literally Apple catching up to everyone else. Its executing FaceID probably better than any other phone company, and I 100 percent expect the Pixel 3 and other companies to implement it in a very similar way next year. Its actually pretty similar to Microsofts Hello feature on Surface laptops. So hopefully Apple adds it into their MacBooks.
Samsung adds the most half baked features into their phones sometimes smh. If they made a pure Android experience no one could stop them. But I guess this is the only way they can really advance further in the market, if consumers use their apps/features over Google.

I'm an iPhone fan but something is seriously wrong with the X if the product that most interested me during the presentation was the fucking Apple Watch.
...not that it will be supported in my country (;_

You guys clearly don't know Pyro.
Imagine you were in an alternate universe where neither phone existed and then were presented with the X and S8 side by side. Then you were told one of these was going to be the next iPhone design, but they want people to vote on it. What do you think the results of that poll would be?
It may be a great phone, but looks aren't its strong suit.

this would make sense if Google didn't keep adding Samsung features to 'pure Android' year after year after year.
And as an iphone owner for 10+ years, I'd prefer no bezel and a notch.
To each his own.
Nah, X doesn't have an ugly bottom bezel.
Also, offensive.

Just a shallow observation because I have no experience with either of the phones, but just in terms of the design, Samsung is miles ahead of Apple.
The iPhone X is ugly as fuck. Top notch and camera bump on the back, get the fuck out of here.
The back is objectively cleaner than literally every android phone. The notch is cleaner than the top and/or bottom bezels android manufactures can't figure out.
Do you use a case?

I mean you could buy one of the two significantly less expensive phones rocking the A11
/Jeffthereitis
A11 is mobile quad i7 level of performance, couple that with pcie high speed storage, no one comes close
Caseless since iPhone 1.

What about the big ugly bumper around the entire phone? You prefer that too? Asking for a friend.

It's shit like this that gives Apple fanboys a bad name.
You should look into a waterproof case. If you fall in a pool, the x will break in more than 3ft of water. Not an issue for Samsung S7 and up.

Well I guess opinions and all, but what you're saying I find very hard to believe.
This thread is full of gorgeous bezel less phones that make the iPhone approach a bit chunky. Also, the way the sides of the iphone look as if it's already wearing a cover, sort of undoes the "bezel less look". The phone still has thick edges on all sides.
Not as thick as the actual top/bottom bezels found on all android phones.
I'd also rather have something to actually rest my fingers on when I'm holding the phone without activating a bunch of bullshit.
Also don't feel like replacing my entire display if it were to fall
Too much apple juice I see.

Can they use some of that power to allow users to space homescreen icons however they want
or run splitscreen apps or something

a new challenger appears
That I will give you. iOS 11 is extremely disappointing. No dark mode or true multitasking is just fucking stupid.
Design still makes it a better choice though overall

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
None of this really matters.
The bezelless design is legit as an upgrade to maximize screen real estate in smaller bodies.
That being said normal day to day app usage has been good for a while now.
I can browse GAF, send a text, flag an Uber, check my Gmail, post hot takes on Twitter on a ton of devices these days. A lot of the raw extra power isn't exactly useful on a phone beyond games.
Stuff like waterproofing and wireless charging are legit updates for consumers.

Notch isn't a big deal. Its better than having pure straight bezel at the top. At least now the indicators show up on both sides. The camera bump isn't bad either especially with everything it has packed in there (AR). Coming from an s8+ user, both phones look solid. Obv s8+ will have a better display and more customization options, a really shitty bixby button that activates by accident almost 3x a day as well as a hard to reach fingerprint sensor, but the iphone x will ultimately run better (esp over time where samsungs start to slow down), provide iOS features like imessage , facetime that most users use daily and have the good tech that android users have had for some time.
At the end of the day, phone wars are pointless. Get the platform you're most comfortable on.
I'm not a weirdo, so I don't need my phone in deep water. I have an Apple Watch LTE that does anything I might need that functionality for.

I disagree, but I'm clearly objectively wrong.
Enjoy your off center squared off whatever that is. Meanwhile the iPhone looks like it's from the future.
Also, the Samsung logo is just.. bad. It reeks of 80s design. It literally strains my eyes to look at it. They're in desperate need of a rebranding imo.
Is this supposed to be a joke or are you serious?

The funny thing is even Apple's presentation wasn't as hyperbolic as that, lol. It was more of talking up the processors and software, but barely any mention of the 'bezeless' feature. As if they knew.
The S8 rear is pretty ugly.
If only the Xperia line didn't have insane bezels. Deosn't even need to be X / S8 tier, just less than what they have now. Those were big years ago, let alone currently.
Those are not insane bezels.
I don't know what people are expecting.
Did you look at the picture? The things on the top and bottom of the screen, those are bezels. Huge ones.

Does anyone know how owari felt about bezels pre IPhone X?
The elements that are supposed to be centered, are centered. The camera is up in the corner where it belongs so you can, you know, actually use it without worrying about holding it wrong.
I vastly prefer the way the LG V30, Galaxy S8, and Note 8 handle "bezel-less" designs. Symmetrical or near-symmetrical small ~5mm bezels on the top and bottom and very tiny left and right bezels.
It gives a look that the phone design had more thought than just "make the bezels as small as possible" (like the iPhone X, and some of the other bezel-less phones like the Essential and the Xaomi phones that have no bezel at the top and a decently thick bottom bezel where the front-facing camera resides).
I also think X has the least appealing back look, at least for the silver version. I think camera bumps should be a distant memory, and for most phone manufacturers, that's the case. That being said, the phone is immediately recognizable (for good or bad) because of that notch, and in some angles looks great. And the screen quality will be great, and the camera and power will be top-notch.
Wait, top-notch. That's what the X has. Wonder if that was intentional.
