    Google may have intentionally/unintentionally done an Apple 64-bit move but with the Camera.

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 11:04 AM PST

    So the Galaxy S9 has been revealed & the first comparisons are out on the web.

    From what I've seen the Pixel 2 is still king of photography in the smartphone world, even after the Samsung's S9+ camera hardware upgrades.

    This made me think that Google may have outplayed all Phone companies just like Apple did when they switched from 32-bit to 64-bit SoC's.

    IMO the S9+ comparisons out there now highlight the hardware limits reached by Smart Phone companies. Even mighty Samsungs next-gen Galaxy phone doesn't stand out enough against the Pixel 2.

    Google has invested in Software & a dedicated Pixel Visual Engine whilst everyone else has gone chasing mainly hardware & dual lenses (except Huawei - the only company I believe saw the potential of Software/AI milking the true potential out of Hardware).

    I'm very excited to see how much the Pixel 3 will be ahead of the competition & perhaps the next Huawei flagship.

    We'll see if I'm right or talking out my ass by the Pixel 3 launch.

    Honest question from a new Android user. What are the reasons behind the obsession with bezels?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 10:41 AM PST

    Hi /r/Android, apologies if I'm not posting in the right place, but I figured this would be the best subreddit to ask.

    I'm a recent Android convert after seven years of iPhone. I wanted a new phone experience, so I did my research and settled on the regular sized Pixel 2. I'm a month into my usage, and I can honestly say that the Android experience has been far more favorable to me, and I don't miss iOS at all except for iMessage.

    In my phone research, however, I've watched countless reviews and I've found a surprising amount of emphasis on bezels and the lack thereof. A lot of reviewers were very critical of the big bezels on the Pixel 2 and even the ones on the Pixel 2 XL, which at the time I didn't even take into consideration when it came to looking for a new Android phone. To be honest, I had to Google the definition of bezels in this context because it was just something I never worried about.

    So, I'm a month into my new Pixel and I've been slowly delving deeper into the phone industry and crazes, and I'm still not entirely clear on bezels. As a new Android user coming from an Apple background and having been satisfied with a similar looking phone upgrade for the past seven years with little to minor tweaks to the appearance itself, where does this craze for bezel-less phones come from? Is there a practical purpose behind it, or is it just an aesthetic factor of looking sleeker? Is it form factor, more screen space, a combination of both or of other factors I'm missing? What was the first phone to be featured bezel-less, and when did it become the standard for flagship phones?

    It's a lot to ask, but I'm curious about this particular factor because it's so heavily emphasized in reviews, and I wanted to get a better understanding of it.

    Thanks for your time!

    Is there literally 0 market for 16:9 and/or 4.7-5.2" displays anymore?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:11 PM PST

    I'm looking at all these new phones come out, not just at MWC, but any time during the year. It's absolutely blowing me away how many are 6"+ screen phones, especially with 18+:9 aspect ratio.

    Is there seriously 0 market for phones that can be easily used in one hand? I get that the super bezel-less 5.8" ~18:9 phones, like the S8, S9, and iPhone X, are reasonably easy to use one-handed, but surely at least 10% of the global population would prefer a smaller phone? The number of iPhone 6-8 and 5s-SE models I see just around where I live equates to at least a quarter of all phones; not to mention that most Androids are the S5-S8.

    Does anyone have statistics on this, or feel like it's only happening because it's the latest trend? I know that the top ~10 OEMs wouldn't just release larger phones every year without extensively researching and making sure there's a good market for them, but it still seems surprising that there isn't enough desire at all for the 16:9 and/or ~5" display for anyone to consider it. Especially for those smaller OEMs that don't already have a huge market share and thus could appeal to the markets that Samsung and Apple are ignoring.
