Weekly poll results: love of 16:9 screens and hatred of bezels evenly matched
Manufacturers have been eager to push 18:9 screens they are different from what came before and are usually coupled with thinner bezels, making the job of the marketing departments easier. But most people seem fine with traditional 16:9 screen, 37% of voters in our poll picked that option. That said, nearly as many people, 34%, just want to have slender bezels. As we said before, an 18:9 screen is not a requirement for thin bezels, but these days the two go hand in hand. Still, 1 in 4 people consider 18:9 screens or even wider to be the future of smartphones. Apps are quickly gaining support for the new aspect ratio and even the problem with multimedia content is solved by cropping the video a bit. As the previous poll showed, manufacturers should mostly avoid when expanding the screen and reducing the bezels. Surprisingly, many brought up 4:3 screens. Those were around in the early days of smartphones, but we dont think they will work well now. Its usually the width of the phone that limits its maximum size. Gestures for the notification area, reachability and so on help with tall screens. But if a phone is too wide to hold comfortably, there are no software tricks that can make up for that.
