Curved Edge Display Phones: My 7-Years Experience!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Smartphones with dual-curved displays were considered premium up until a few years ago. But recently, many pioneering companies, like Samsung, have moved away from this design in favor of a flatter screen as before. But why? What are the pros and cons of these dual-curved edge smartphone displays? Are they worth buying today?
As someone who has used these curved screens for the last 7 years, I'll share my take on this, and we can discuss it in the comments.

![Best Curved Display Phone for 2024 [The Top 5 Picks You Should Consider Now]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MjEDmoEVhtw/mqdefault.jpg)
Never been a fan as it makes the phone incredibly fragile... Everyone drops their phone at some stage so it's almost a guaranteed expensive problem. Better to get a solid flat screen with an OtterBox.
True, it's an expensive repair. Even though flat screen phones are prone to the same risk, protecting them is simple.
i drop my LG velvet on a daily thanks to my butter hands... no cover and screen never broke!!
Check honor magic 6 lite durability test
My oneplus 7 pro fell down more than i can count. One time it fell when i was chasing my dog, one time it fell from the second floor balcony, and worst, fell from my bike when i was riding, albeit not so fast. and i got the frame scratched and dented. The back and the front somehow always survive. Neither cracked or scratched. Finally got the back cracked in early 2024 because when i was working, i accidentally brushed a japanese handsaw to the top left side of the back and it cracked.
So no. Curved screen ain't fragile. And because the sides are usually mare with mistouch prevention in mind, i have less mistouch in my oneplus 7 pro than my other flat screen phones
I love your content. I'm gonna follow you now and I wish one day that I can buy my own curved phone. As of today, I don't a phone to use. Three years of waiting. Hoping to have any kind phone.
An entry-level phone isn't that expensive these days.
I wanted to buy a best all rounder phone in the range of 40k. Oneplus Nord 4 is a good option with flat display but I personally liked Realme GT 6 because of more powerful processor, better display and camera and lastly it's ai features. Curved display is a con for me but I am confused that what phone should I get. I would mostly do video editing, watching content and medium gaming.
Also, my another question is that if I take a curved display phone then is it possible to protect it's screen from breaking without using the uv tempered glass?
You can buy the curved screen phone if it has overall better specs. The tempered glass protection is tricky with those edges. I haven't been able to see its benefit. But use a skin or something on the back to improve the grip.
@@TheHopelessGeek there are some armour cases for gt 6 (some youtubers say that it would protect the glass because of the bump). Does it really works? Because then there is no problem
It might. But I've had a case on my Galaxy Note 8 back in 2019. It fell on the road and shattered anyway 😅. It's best to not drop it in the first place. That's why I suggested something to improve grip
@@TheHopelessGeek thanks for your suggestion!
🙂👍🏽no problem
IDK maybe I'm just lucky and haven't dropped my phone for the past 5 years, love my galaxy S10 but unfortunately need a new phone as the two microphones are glitching out when I speak since the past 3 weeks
Oh. Have you tried testing them on the voice recorder app? Just to make sure it isn't a network issue 😅
Badly wanted to buy one plus 12. But did not, due to the curved display..😭😭😭
😅it looks nice, but not for everyone
Ur mobile name sir...❤
It's the Honor Magic4 Pro.
Tq sir ❤❤❤❤
Fully ccurverd display mobile sir....I am buy the soon sir ....plz tell me best full curved display mobile sir...plzzz❤❤❤❤❤
What budget are you comfortable with?
Under 60000 ..sir
Hello 👋 Here I want to ask you a question about tester work website. Today I have given their gat community test in which I failed for the 1st try but in the 2nd and the last try I managed to qualify their test and it says congratulations and our team will email you within 48 hours when we will verify your profile. So, can you like tell me exactly what will be going to happen next. I know you must have forgotten it but please try to provide a considerable answer for me and your audience. Thanks ❤
I think they ask you to complete your profile further and thereafter you'll be eligible to participate in tests.
@@TheHopelessGeek Thanks for your time
No problem
I am hardcore fan of curved displays . It feels so much better. But yeah its kinda fragile but there are cases nowadays for better protection.
Yeah, you have to be extra careful with those. I know from experience 😢
To me a flat display feels more expansive and solid. I'm glad it's a dying trend.
Flat displays are nice and simple. I just got used to the more complicated type over the years. Samsung used to give no other choice😅
I feel that curved display looks like shit....its very weird for me...and its not practical too
I agree that it isn't anything practical. But it feels super smooth when you use edge gestures. Also, when viewing from the front, the side bezels disappear, making it look nice for watching content.
I like curved phones, when u try one for the first you never go back to flat screens
( My english is good btw?)
I understood you 🙂👍🏽. Yes, curved screen phones are really tough to go back from once the eyes get used to that near bezel-less display.
Please suggest between these two
S24 plus or S23 ultra.
Only and only due to curved screen i have confusion.
I would go for the S23 Ultra. It's a more capable and feature-rich device overall.
@@TheHopelessGeek thank you for the quick response.
🙂👍🏽no problem
Hey about the screen replacement, I have doubts. I have a nearly 6-year-old mobile Galaxy A7 but I broke the screen recently, The original display costs a minimum of 5800rs, and the duplicate costs 2700rs so will it be worth choosing the original? What do you think
Yes, the third party ones may not last long or may have discoloration issues. Stick to the original for the display.
Dude you'll get the same second hand phone for that price. Don't go for original
I wanted to get Samsung galaxy note 4 edge the first Samsung curved display phone, made my mind saying curved displays would disappear and went ahead with regular Note 4. Since then no curved displays as a personal device, used them in the showroom and never got one. Finally it's disappearing. I am sad now. Didn't get to experience it. 😂
😅 in my case, I just went for phones with the features I wanted. They ask happened to have these curved screens.
Curved displays for life...
From my S9+ to OP 11r
Look and feel matters !!
I literally don't have any mistouches since im accustomed to it.
I don't usually have accidental touch issues either, just how slippery they can be sometimes 😅
man s9+ is peak samsung
Hello... I am thinking of getting either Vivo v30e or motorolla edge plus. which one do you recommend? Which is a bit stronger if falls from bed or sofa.
Well, technically, all phones are treated to withstand minor falls and bumps. But it's difficult to say objectively. Based on my experience though, motorola phones have a better track record of durability and after-sale service for repairs.
V30e❤❤
Should i buy a curved screen i will use it atleast for 4 years or should i go for flat screen? would curved bezels affect when it is kept in a mobile holder? The premiumness of cuved screen is main factor that i upgrade.if not what is the best solution for protection of cuved screen?
Curved screens are difficult to protect and keep inside accessories. They're only good for a smooth feel and a borderless look.
There won't be any issues with a standard phone holder, as these phones have a strong enough frame on the sides, albeit covered with an edge screen.
If you travel a lot and tend to use your phone outdoors more often, it may be better to get a flat screen one.
Thanks man for replying every comments.
No problem 😅👍🏽
no
idk man. my s9+ has a 20p screen protector (plastic) and a cheap plastic probably also 50p case, and its completely fine. ive taken it to 4 countries, walked over a 10,000 miles with it over the years and its still fine. ive dropped it at least 20-30 times and aside from some little cuts in the plastic screen protector, the screen is flawless aside from some previous cuts from old owner (back market, good condition)
I guess you got lucky with a good adhesive on your protector.
Is Curved display phones are useable on tripods for content creation? Plz do reply....
Tripod mounts will work fine on curved screen phones. I use this type to ensure additional protection - amzn.to/4ep58az
Very informative video
Glad you liked it 😊
Your takes are pretty bad
Okay
HEY BRO, IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IQOO NEO 9 PRO VS ONEPLUS 11. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH YOUR OPINION
I don't know much about those two phones. OnePlus 11 seems to be on good deals these days.
I have curved and it's annoying... certain androids haven't switched back to flat. Also screen protectors are a be-otch to find a good one
Yes, I agree about the screen protectors.
My Honor P70 screen protector always won't last more than 3 mths damaged by casing at the side
Yeah, that is an annoying issue with curved screens. Mine somehow lasted over a year, at which point I decided to peel it off. It looked ugly😅
I have a curved display phone and i am just glad that everytime i dropped it is when it had back cover because i had dropped it tonnes of times. Once even while trying to catching my phone as it was freefalling i accidently hit it and even increased its momentum. the loudness of the contact of my phone and the concrete surface was frightening. I was scared to even pick it up and i was amazed to see only a few cracks on the protector only and the screen was fine. If is didnot had the back cover i would have lost the screen as well as the back of my phone as its also glass.
SO, WHOEVER IS READING THIS AND HAS A CURVED DISPLAY OR A GLASS BACK, TRUST ME ''(THICK )BACK COVER SAVES LIVES!''.
Also, i kinda regret having a curved screen as i continously have to live in the fear of breaking it and going broke to repair it. and also its not like its some extra useful feature (i find it compeletly gimmick). I bought the curved one as at that time it was the one with best performance within my budget.
I guess I was unlucky that my phone fell face first on the concrete road ☠️
In the Philippines,we have a curve edge glass tempered screen to protect the phone
Yes, there are a few of those available here too. But I haven't tested their durability.
I am going to be an universiry student soon
Which display should I buy?
Dont have that much time to watch multimedia nowadays.
And gonna play pubg, codm an hour daily.
Flat or curved will be better?
I suggest flat screen. Curved displays are good only for looks and an "immersive" viewing experience at a distance. But it may be a little annoying for gaming.
FLAT
Just ordered the redmi note 13 pro plus. It's definitely going to be curved!!
🙂 it'll look good. Just be careful, since it might be slippery 😅
Worst ever, regret my purchase every single second because of the endless disadvantages of it's curved screen!
Flat screen is more practical 🥲 specially in landscape
It's easier to hold and has fewer light glares on the edges.
curved screen looks beautiful but its really annoying
Yeah, it's very slippery 😅
Hey, I am about to buy moto edge 50 pro which is curved display...but after watching your video I feel very confused..as the only flat display that I like and is in my budget is Nothing Phone 2a. But interms of features moto >>> phone 2a. Please suggest me which phone to buy
You can still get the edge 50 pro, it's good. I'm just saying that don't make curved screens a buying decision.
@@TheHopelessGeek Thank you for such a quick response I'm definitely subbing you!! But I usually drop phones lil often, so even though I like edge 50 pro.. I am scared if it breaks I won't be able to repair it. In terms of features, build quality and also screen what would you recommend: phone 2a or edge 50 pro?
The phone 2a is mostly good for its design, both hardware and software. It's not necessarily the best phone you could get for the price.
Yes, the curved screen is prone to getting damaged a bit easier when dropped. You'll have to be careful 😅
@@TheHopelessGeek Umm true though. Moto edge 50 fusion vs nothing phone 2a? What do you think? I've been searching for videos comparing them two since past 3 days but didn't find any proper video
I would go for the Edgo 50. The phone 2a is more of a design-oriented device, which isn't what I want in this price.
Suggest me ... For insta scrolling and anime watching also some brawlstars plays and good camera too.... Which would be a good phone s23 or s23 ultra ... Should i go with s23 ultra at 95k or save some money and go with s23 at 57k
For your needs, the S23 would suffice, but the battery life would take a hit. If possible, try to find a good deal on the S23+. That has better battery life.
@@TheHopelessGeek its out of stock and the price is same as s23 ultra
I see. In that case, since you can afford it, get the Ultra. It will anyway suffice for your needs and will last longer due to the higher performing hardware
@@TheHopelessGeek thanks a lot ♥️
🙂👍🏽no problem.
Rip mine vivo x90pro😢
What happened? Did it fall and damage the screen?
I have S9. It just looks damn good
It's a nice, compact phone. I remember that one 🙂
What curved phone are you using in your video?
It's the Honor Magic4 Pro and the other one with a stylus was the Galaxy Note 9.
not first :( but not only :)
😄🙏🏽
hello
Dual curved greetings
Premium materials? glass and aluminum are not premium materials. When it comes to curved dis[plays I think they look tacky on top of being less functional
6 years ago, aluminum and glass was as premium as they get in a phone. We still use similar designs today, just with stainless steel or titanium and stronger glass.
And yes, the curved displays don't add much to the functionality.
Yeah its the same materials we use to hold soft drinks before throwing them in the recycling bin. Its just marketing buzz words. @@TheHopelessGeek
Thickness of the material matters. Soft drink cans are nowhere near as thick as a phone's frame.
And, on a side note, aircrafts use the same material, too. They use the same grade aluminum there. It's not a "buzzword" if what they've said is exactly what's in your hands.😂
An example of a buzzword is Apple's "sapphire crystal glass". Testing shows that it's just a thin layer and nothing close to that of original purity. But the 6000 series aluminum used in most phones is literally just that.
@@TheHopelessGeek yeah planes are soda cans with wings that have jet engines bolted to them. It's the same when it comes to rockets. The difference being aluminum is used in those applications due to its low weight. It's used in phones because it's cheap
Correct. It's cheap, and easy to machine, making it accessible for many. It suffices for the durability needs of a handheld device. If it's good enough for rocketships, it's certainly fine for a phone. 🙂
No pros, only cons 😐
😅 only Pro is that it looks good and feels smooth.
@@TheHopelessGeekWhat is the name of the curved phone you got sent from Hong Kong
Can we put curved display phone in tripod???
Yes, you can. I have been for the past few years. It's a little unnerving if the holder is tight or is metallic. So I recommend getting a threaded plastic one. amzn.to/3ULxcMY
I use something like this.
Thank you
You're welcome
I am Off the video topic but what are the non round/full corners of phones (like they used to 10+ years ago) called?
And what are the current ones (corner is rounded) called?
Googling tells me about curved display when i describe them,but they arent..
I don't recall there being a standard term for the display corners. I remember labelling them simply as "Squared-off corners" and "Rounded corners"
Which is the phone that you are holding.Please tell me
It's my Honor Magic4 Pro
I am keen to buy motorola edge 50, what do you think about it? It has got a military grade certification, so I think the screen durability issues are tackled. But, I wanted to know, does the curved display cause any privacy issues? Maybe a person beside you could see what you are doing as the curved part would be visible to him?
Curved screens don't cause ay such problems. If you like the phone, you can go for it. You'll have to get used to the slightly different in-hand feel of these phones. That's all.🙂👍🏻
@@TheHopelessGeek okay thanks!!
No problem
