Curved edges

>Curved edges

Why is this even a thing?
It serves no purpose whatsoever and doesn't look good at all.

Are you jealous or something? Can't afford one? Sorry that you're poor mate

I have an iPhone 7 buddy

This shit is just stupid

iPhone 5/5s is the pinnacle of phone design
you literally can't argue this

ive tried it, its pretty comfy

Obviously you mean Nokia C7/701

It prevents use of full coverage tempered glass screen protectors and makes sure you have to pay for more expensive repairs.

ew

I've had an S2, S4, S5, and S6 and I couldn't agree with you more. I don't get it, I currently own an iPhone 6+ a phone is just a phone to me, and that shit is ugly.

How is it comfy?

it's a gimmick. gimmicks attract retards like shit attracts flies. no one knows why that happens. it just does.

there you go. that's why curved edges exist.

It's purpose is to increase accidental palm touches and thus decrease ease of use.
You are forced to use two hand fingertip grip, you drop the 800€ device, you buy a new one.
Pretty (((clever))) if you catch my implied meaning

>Battery lasts a week, is replaceable
>Can be used with one hand
>Lock slider
>Camera button
>Durable
>Fits inside your palm

If they added a modern screen, android and slightly upgraded hardware I wouldn't mind using that as my phone for the foreseeable future.

it's ugly

this is what a phone should look like

Who cares if she excels at fellatio.

Oh, boy. We've got a winner.
/thread

can't sell phones based on performance specs anymore, so manufacturers are turning to gimmicks like this to sell them.

I think it also has the added benefit of making the phone easier to break. curved glass screen protectors are not a thing

Their idea of a passable excuse as to why they felt the need to phase out removable batteries. Edge features don't add any new functionality to the phone that it didn't already have.

Just my theory.

>comfy
Fuck off, retarded comfag.

user-replaceable batteries were phased out because of the constant pursuit of thinner phones, and now water/dust resistance being a huge selling point.

this again stems from the fact that performance advancements have stalled, so every new "advancement" has to be aesthetic or planned software obsolescence (see Google Daydream and Assistant, both of which are fully capable of working on older devices with a software update, but Google wants to move Pixels, so fuck users)

Samsung still makes phones with removable batteries, like the J line. They're targeted to different consumers, but the point still stands. I will agree that Edge contributed to a thinner phone body, which they have used as an excuse. It doesn't help that the S7E has a 3600 mAh battery. So battery size is not an issue, and neither should a removable partition.

Fuck manufacturers.

It's designed to distract you from the generic feel of Android OS.

I finally bailed and tried android, it's total shit.

It is good, but iPhone 7 LOOKS better. Except it's missing a fucking headphone jack

it's also to distract you from the fact that you're using an operating system manufactured by the world's biggest advertising agency.

Android was a mistake.

>and doesn't look good at all.
Well that's where you and I disagree. It is pretty worthless though.

Which phone manufacturer? If you tried Android on a Nexus or Motorola device it's god tier. All other manufacturers are shit and fiddle with the UI, Samsung being the worst offender.

no.

but it does look good, user

LG something. It's running stock android 6.0. The phone is fine, it's the os that sucks, totally unrefined.

Have you ever watched porn on a S7E? It's very immersive

Sorry to hear that

I'm guessing you're an iToddler

I actually wouldn't mind having an iPhone but there are a few things I couldn't tolerate like the lack of fast scrolling, shit battery life, no SD card slot and no file management.

couldn't agree more, the ad that showed someone checking a message at the table on the edge so not to be rude seems to be the only possible use

Nope, former Windows Phone user. But I get why Iphone users love their shit. I really had no idea how boring android was until I switched.

The smartphone can't inovate anymore so they have to make stuff like that.

i have the oneplus 2, it's berry comfy :^)

It's pointless and probably annoying in use but it actually does look pretty cool and futuristic. Too bad the rest of the hardware looks like a cheap iPhone clone with a nasty branding.

Pretty much.

Camera bump.

Gimmick + no generic replacement screens = cashcow

Is this bait?

I exchanged my note 7 in for an iPhone 7 and this thing is a peice of shit. Feels like it and looks like it. If you've ever held a note 7 or s7 edge you'll understand why curved displays are a thing. Plus no side bezels.

No, your taste is just shit.

it does look good. s7e is objectively the best looking phone on the market.

also, with the always on display it shows notifications and news on the edge, but that's pretty useless.

Lol holy crap look at that bump

iPhone is the best console, and nobody could ever fucking speak against it. When I first got an iPhone, I was so excited that I wouldn't be trashy anymore. I got so many friends with the iPhone 5C's stunning colors and sexyness, and that isn't even half of it. It has over 30 GB worth of data. I was able to store, if I recall, 10,000 photos and it would only take up 4 gigabytes. It would play games that would seem laggy to a console and turn it into a lagless portable experience. I am a true fucking gamer, I play Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Flappy Bird, and Clash of Clans daily, I can message friends and stay up to date, I can talk to people with my face and always remember how my friends looked like, I can take endless photos with no worry about using data, and I could browse infinite pages of the internet, which a shitty console can't do. The PC, Wii, PS4, and Xbox 1 can't do any of this shit. Compete with that, consoletards. Also, nice trolling fucko, with you're not including you're fucking iPhone, get your facts strate Android fuckers.

>not the plus
>manlett hands
>supreme cuck

>I have an iPhone 7 buddy
so he was right then.

Iphone 6s or Galaxy S7?

I have a choice to get either for free.

yeah asked this before weeks ago, you fucking faggot. your shitty parents still haven't you bought one or the other?

>dae le fuck xher opinionsss xD

Well, if you have a social life you can facetime anyone with an iPhone, and imessage has allowed users to send text messages via Wi-Fi for a while. I have an iPhone and the battery lasts a while there's no complaints here. Also when I switched from an S6 the operating system is smooth, the messaging application would sometimes lag if I had too many undeleted messages, I set mine to like 2000. The lack of being able to download files from the internet is disappointing, would be nice to be able to torrent mp3 files, or simply torrent anything in general.There's a lot of freedom associated with Android versus iOS, but iOS seems a bit more refined.

>nokia c7
>taste

oh user

>I'm guessing you're an iToddler
>can't read for shit
>calls others iToddler
wew

Different user,

I currently have a 6s, my brother is getting a S7 and my dad asked if I wanted one as well, if I put my 6s trade in value towards it.

S7 you prick. I traded my note 7 in for an iPhone 7 over the s7 and will forever regret it.

It's pretty ugly

Nokia are pretty good designers, something Lumia from the mid windows phone era like the 800 or even the n9 looks way better

>and imessage has allowed users to send text messages via Wi-Fi for a while.
Android: replace stock SMS app with Signal, and text messages are sent encrypted to other Signal users, over wifi if enabled.

Too poor for jet black.

What a poor nigger.

>not knowing about the curved tempered glass screen covers
>even using a screen cover since gorilla glass 3 with a decent bumper case

tell your dad not to be a jew and spend the extra few dollars for s7e.

Even as an ardent Apple-hater I'd have to agree, although no good looks are worth having to use the locked-down pos that is ios

If you have a social life you hangout with people not omegle video chat on a tiny screen. No reason to talk to people far away if you can just meet new people to actually hangout with.

>Well, if you have a social life you can facetime anyone with an iPhone

You can do that with Android just as easily. That being said, the video call gimmick is only really used by parents to speak to their young children. The vast majority of adults don't care to speak to their friends via video call

>Makes it easier to break
>Makes content look weird due to the curves

No advantage for having it

s7 without a doubt

S7 bro

So clumsy people drop their phones easier and have to buy replacements sooner

It really doesn't have a practical use, it's just a needless feature to justify a new phone to sell.

I just want a flip phone with a decent camera 13mp'ish that can also record vidya and has an mSD slot to store it all. Symbian or whatever basic bitch for contacts all that is all I need. I can live without texting as long as I can read them (notifications). My car reads them off to me anyways.

Not the same, but it has some side swipe features like speed dial. It's surprisingly easy to hold, and I can see some status notifications when the phone is face down.
I've got an s7 edge, no regrets.

I would totally try out a Windows phone if it actually had apps.

I keep hoping for the day MS announces the Surface phone along with a list of developers on board to create apps for it.

A phone should be shaped like a pocket manual with one chamfered side and one cornered side.

I have s7e. I kinda like the edges. Its a gimmick, for sure, but I like the way it looks - and if I'm going to use the device every day for a few years, it better please my eye

I have an edge and it feels amazing to hold in the standard position, however holding on the side always either feels like you're touching the screen to much or you feel like you're losing your grip on it.

To make it even harder for the end user to replace the parts

>WHAT'S WRONG, POORFAG?
>CAN'T AFFORD A BAG OF SHIT?

My sister bought an S6 Edge. She dropped it and broke the screen in under a month. Same thing happened to her previous phone.
Women shouldn't be allowed to have advanced electronics.

Yeah, desu I like the look. I may not spend money on something for that reason, but it does look good and if the phone met my needs at a good price then I'd be totally on it.

I got mine for 450€ second hand while it currently sells for something like 700€. It was right on my limit what to pay for a phone and I knew that nougat update is coming soon so I upgraded from oneplus one.

I was gonna get the note7 but they blew up, so I went with s7e and bought a note 10.1 2014 for stylus use.

No regrets yet.

It looks pretty sexy, feels nice and makes the device thinner horizontally.

t. Posting from an S7 Edge

>screen is only 3 inches across

lol no

I have a s7 edge, just got it, didn't have a case for it straight away and man that thing is made to drop, so slippery.

glad i got the flat s7

it's not even worth 450€ new, you stupid nigger. congrats on being a consumer whore

>not using the pinnacle of phone design

s7

>not picking an xperia with the led bar thing
It's the most convenient thing i've ever seen.
Red pulse?
Battery low.
White pulse?
Unread SMS.
Orange pulse?
Missed call.
Blue pulse?
Skype.

You can customize them, of course.

z5c has that

I see.
Carry on, then.

Not sure if Donald Trump or autistic.

>horrible tiny screen with xbox hueg bezels.
No wonder Nokia died and is now owned by chinks.

>It serves no purpose whatsoever

Not true. Your worrying whether your finger still has a screen at the edge is awesome OP.

The s3 had the best curved display, ie, not a curved display, just curved glass that wrapped to the edges.

>plastic and glass
Maybe as burner phone.

they're running out of gimmicks to sell every yeary

How much does it cost to replace this screen?

First of all, it does look good. Secondly, curved screens are the future. The next Galaxy and iPhone will be fully curved. If you don't like it, go buy a flip phone.

its just comfy in the hand, seems like theres less pressure on ur fingers when ur talking on it because muh roundedness

The word you're looking for is chamfered edge.

Hey KFCHD. How goes the dope tech review lifestyle, you massive shill?

All android phones have a notification led....????
