Definitely skipping this year, I miss the tiny bezels on my Nexus 6 and it doesn't seem to have dual speakers so what's the point in the huge bezels that the 6P has

Motorola made better phones and yet Google dropped them like a rock for some reason only to later seemingly want to get back into hardware development and sign a three year deal with HTC so they have a manufacturer to build devices to their specifications. They really make no sense at times.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That looks ugly as fuck.
Ugh and I wanted to upgrade, but my current phone is a G3 which I specifically chose cause I didn't want fucking the gap between the edge of the phone and the screen to be the size of the Pacific Ocean.
That bottom bezel is like as big as the OG iPhone (hyperbole I know)
Gosh damn it.

Yuck. the bottom looks worse than a Sony phones bezel lol..

The bottom bezel is bigger than a chick's fat ass in apple bottom jeans in a fucking Nelly video.

Huawei P9 for $400 yes please.
The screen looks ridiculously long in the picture which is probably why the bezel looks as big as it is (good old wide angle, close up effect). Overall proportions looks similar to Nexus 5. I hope the 32g one won't be more than 400 or I'll probably use my Nexus 5 for another year to wait for price drop.

Motorola was bought for there patents, they make trash ass phone
Apple didn't do it first (had to get that out there)
yeah i was thinking that when i was typing midway lol. Couldn't remember which smartphones did it first though, but i remember people praising apple for copying that.
Not just patents. Google did keep the research group ATAP.
I think at this point if google changes its mind on being a phone maker (and people have suggested that given the hiring of Rick Osterloh) they'll just do it organically rather than buying some oem.

I said that years ago when I had my Galaxy Nexus and the bottom headphone jack on that. I wish Samsung would get a clue and put the damn headphone jack on the bottom.
The whole reason they signed the deal was because they didn't want the costs of owning a phone OEM. Of course with HTC currently on it's deathbed, they might have to find someone else to be their bitch soon.
Apparently. Given how the same they all are (rectangular slab with rounded corners) I cant say I do anymore than I buy a pc case based on how its case looks.
And weird given most people put em in phone cases anyway.
They have for the S6 and S7.

This phone' screen looks too long, maybe it's the perspective.
Looks good in specs, but daaaaaamn!, those bezels are really huge.

I could just about understand having bezels that size if you've got front-facing speakers, and/or hardware buttons.... but it don't. I guess at least it doesn't have a fake speaker ala 5x :/
Also seems a bit strange that there's only 0.5" between the small and large model.

I'm really hoping Sony wow me at IFA because that's not fantastic looking at all. Granted the silver/blue version should look much better but still.
Also people mock Sony's volume buttons but then Google put the power button all the way up there on a five inch phone and the fingerprint scanner on the back lol.
Giant ass bottom bezel makes typing on a huge phone even less comfortable.

TRUTH, pretty much all their modern products suck including my Keylink and Moto 360
Duh most flash ship phones have the same specs so why the hell would you want to buy the ugly product?
It's time for you and other heretics to buy a tablet strapped to your arm, like a PipBoy.
But it looks about the same size as a 6p, just with a smaller screen with those dumb bezels.
Its OK, the 6.6" Huawei is coming west. Rejoice.
you dont wanna be that dude sitting at a dinner table and everyone lose their appetite cus you whip your phone out
Yeah?
Yes

I certainly didn't buy the Samsung for its looks, but it's obviously a major selling point for others, since all cases look like garbage.
Seriously, I've been looking all weekend for a Galaxy S7 case and they're all shit. Boring, uninspired, lazy. I'm looking at Spigen, Ringke, Incipio and VRS Design right now and almost none of them are trying.
Im assuming you are part of the Axon 7 demographic

one of the best DEAL WITH IT.gif thus far
This shit is so stupid. I swear that this is the only place I see people shitting on this phone. It's not even a bad looking phone...
I used to be really concerned with looks, to the degree that I would not consider major flagships.
Now that I use cases more often, I don't really care about how it looks because it's going to be in my case 99% of the time. As long as it does not look like the Galaxy S7 active....

Overall design construction can denote so much more than just a fashion statement though.
Having a big bezel can be nice if it adds space for functional things like dual speakers or a home button that can double as a fingerprint scanner.
Where as being big just for big's sake just can make day to day usage unwieldy.

Really? a 5" phone with Nexus 5 size bezel (or a 6P with slightly larger bezel but the dimension might be similar because of slightly smaller screen) is unusable now? Have you ever looked at interior of these phones? I doubt anyone designs a shell with big bezel just for the sake of having big bezels. Something always has to give for smaller space whether that's more expensive (and smaller) components or smaller batteries or worse thermal dissipation. If the rumored 2730mah battery is true it's a huge improvement over Nexus 5 already and I'm fine giving some bezel space for battery.

Yep. It's why I'm interested in the reveal. I'm hoping there's more we're missing.
