    You know, even as a lifelong technology nerd I have never actually meaningfully given a fuck about the thickness or lack thereof of any device’s bezels. What a worthless thing to get worked up about.

    As a matter of fact, this can be (and has been) taken so far that it actually becomes a functional detriment. For instance, on the Moto G Power I just bought the touchable areas of the screen are so close to the physical edges and corners of the device that I frequently find the heel of my hand taps the shift key on the on screen keyboard unintentionally. It’s actually rather annoying.

    I think the way the old Sharp Aquos Crystal did it is probably the best way if you absolutely must have maniacally tiny bezels to put as a bullet point on the spec sheet – That phone had basically no bezels top, left, and right but had a deliberate chin on the bottom to not only house the microphone and stereo speakers and front camera and all, but also give you a place to hold the damn thing.
