What Happened to Curved Screen Phones?

Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra may look almost identical at first glance, but there's one big change that might not jump out at you: the curved screen is gone. Samsung, the brand that once made curved displays the future of smartphones, has ditched them completely in the S24. But why would they drop such an iconic feature?

100% agreed.you had to stick to plastic protectors as opposed to the superior tempered glass protectors. Im so happy that i can now put a tempered glass protector on my s24U. I also have a oneplus 12 which came with a pre-installed plastic protector, which is tough ( its thicker than your average plastic screen protector) and although it shows heavy damage now, i dread removing it bc i know a 3rd party protector wont stick to the edges like the factory installed protector. Im also happy that the oneplus 13 is expected to come out with a flat screen. I will for sure trade in my oneplus 12 for a oneplus 13.

[@Tanzim-Kazi]

Something is ironic about curved displays: while a number of high-end smartphones nowadays are phasing out curved displays, there are an increasing number of mid-range phones that have curved displays from manufacturers like Tecno, Infinix, and Lava.

[@kenon6968]

Nah that's just Chinese domestic manufacturing, get everything one generation out of date for a fraction of the price

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

I think saying the consumer drives the market and we choose function over form is very generous. Phones still have glass backs which is very impractical, they don't have headphone jacks, they prioritize thinness instead of making them thicker to allow more room for a bigger battery, plus they'd be easier to hold. We have screen cutouts for cameras, how is that practical? They got rid of LED notification lights, the list goes on.

[@kenon6968]

The glass backs was totally designed concept that got forced it upon us, no consumer is clamoring for that "feature"

[@ganymedehedgehog371]

The consumer does drive the market. Samsung copied Apple for not having a headphone jack but people bought them anyways. Curved screens left because people didn’t want them. The iPhone mini failed since the market said people don’t want small phones.

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

@@ganymedehedgehog371 Samsung saw the same potential as Apple in that they could take something away and sell you the solution, in this case, wireless earbuds. We'd be dealing in "what ifs", but I would think that Samsung is too big to fail, being the top smartphone manufacturer. Samsung dropped the headphone jack with the S20 in 2020, and at least in North America, who was left making flagship phones that people knew about and would gladly switch to? LG was on their last legs, HTC was dead, Huawei phones were banned in 2019, Sony is still around (my choice) but for dumb legal reasons, the fingerprint scanner was disabled. It still works on the international versions, so luckily I get those in Canada. Their only real competition was the Google Pixel, which even today only makes up about 12% of the North American market. Yes, the world is much more than just North America, but it's an example of where Samsung is at. It's not really Android vs iPhone, it's Samsung vs iPhone. When regular people walk into a store to buy a phone, they'll be greeted with Samsung and Apple as the top options. People were going to buy Samsung phones regardless because they're the top brand and regular people aren't going to do the research into other brands. I can understand curved screens. I've never owned one, but I can tell they'd be awful to use. I don't understand the shift away from smaller phones though. I have smaller hands, so I picked out a relatively small phone that would be easier to handle. For a couple years I used the Sony XZ1 with a 5.2" screen, then in 2021, I got the Sony 5ii with a 6.1" screen, but it's only slightly taller and not as wide so it was a lateral move in terms of size, which is good. I don't know what the deal is with smaller phones, I wish they were more popular. I don't believe brands removed features because people didn't want them though, it was probably more for form. Reviewers like Marques kept pushing and pushing for smaller bezels, thinner designs, and "premium feel". Useful features got in the way of achieving these goals, so they had to go, and I think phones are much worse than they could be because of it. If a phone is supposed to be an all-in-one media device, why are we missing headphone jacks, big batteries, and great internal stereo speakers? They've improved over time, but they could be so much better. Why are we putting glass on the back of phones when these are supposed to be able to withstand the abuse of being on the move? There's so much I could say, I hate the path smartphones have taken and I have for many years now.

[@McCaroni_Sup]

No, the consumer does drive the market. I agree that I hate phones with glass backs, no headphone jack, or limited battery life for the sake of thinness. However, most people don't care about those things, thus their market ubiquity. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that the market isn't being driven by the consumers. You're not the only consumer in the world. That's like saying video games are not consumer driven just because you hate yearly AAA releases. Yes, you might hate them, but tons of normies eat that slop right up. Let normies be normies, and enjoy the stuff in the market that caters to you.

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

@McCaroni_Sup potentially, but I also understand that we live in a capitalist society. For something like a headphone jack, was it because people weren't using the headphone jack, or was it a way to make additional sales via dongles and wireless headphones? Glass is more "premium", so they can charge more for it, but it's also fragile, so is it because people want premium feeling but more fragile devices, or is it a way to sell more cases? We know that corporations are just trying to suck us dry, so why should we believe their decisions are anything but a way to make more money? It's possible that they care about and listen to their customers, I'm not too convinced though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like my 24+ alright but don't like the squared off edge trend as it makes phones feel awkward to me in the hand unless you have a bulky case that can make it more hand-shaped(which is also awkward in just a different way).

[@anwarulislam9522]

Remember when Samsung did the exact opposite what Apple did? They are becoming the new Apple after S10 lineup

[@Stacy-Freshener]

@@Michael-sb8jf Yeah I liked samsung for that. My last is A10 , I have 3 samsung and I stopped it . Nowdays it's just because I don't like the most popular brands But I love Samsung's Gallery app . No chinese phone can do same. I download lots of pics. And specially certain WebP gifs don't run on One plus , and some chinese gallery. Third party is okay but that may be data / privacy issue. Samsung gallery is why I have 512 ( max ) GB of SD on A10 , but my new phone One plus nord 3 is only 256gb and 64Gb SD for music, and extra files. Btw idk if it's good or bad , but new samsung phones look like S24 so it makes them not feel cheap while making s24 questionably cheap. It's same with Redmi14C looking like flagship Oppo / Vivo making them feel cheap or vice versa ( redmi 14c feeling expensive ) also one of 14c is glass back and that's crazy cheap. The phone looks like 300-400 $ atleast ( but is 120$~ ) looks matter because my own 320$ phone looks like 180$ Xiaomi or Techno/Infinix and it makes it feel cheap.

Curved display phones looked really beautiful. I owned a Galaxy S6 edge and still to this day the phone looks amazing. I've seen many curved screen phones over the years and all of those are spectacular from regular flat screens. As cool as it was but these came with some complications. Curve display had mistouch problems. More newest ones definitely solved that problem with software. There was another matter that probably made it economically a baf thing. It was always hard to find curved screen protectors. And those were pricey. Regular screen protectors won't fit good. Not to mention those screen proctors were expensive to manufacture.

[@chengong388]

I had the Samsung S7 Edge, it never had input issues. The real reason this didn’t catch on is simply because it has no functional advantage, it is purely for giving the appearance of a thinner bezels, but now days we can just have thinner bezels without the bend.

[@MaDwsalot]

Not bad I would happily watch another one of your new videos

[@Ystrly]

I never had any issues with Curved screens, they also make android back gesture a pleasure to use, their immersiveness and the classy look makes me a big fan as well, hope they never go away as it seems comapanies are just removing them to just make a change in their new flagship cause they really have mothing interesting to add.

[@Bald_Zeus]

Watching this on my 4+yo Oneplus 7t pro. Best phone I've ever had and I got no plans on replacing it until it literally falls apart. Love the curves on it

[@vishnutejakollana6721]

Same…McLaren edition here ,still running smooth

[@Bald_Zeus]

@vishnutejakollana6721 yeah I also got the McLaren edition

[@vikashmayrhoo5639]

I mean this is really only a problem if you use your phone without a case. Without a case the edge cuts your hand, slips, accidentally presses the edges of the screen. However once it's in a case u lost all of those problems.

[@sjneow]

I have a Note 10 and boy I hated the curve screen, always have mistaps at the edge of the screen, thank goodness a case prevented that

[@cardgameenjoyer7446]

Everything becoming soulless.

[@-ThatGuy-]

This is true. But it has nothing to do with killing curved displays. They were more of a hassle than they were worth. Curved displays have no functional benefit that can’t be achieved just as well or better on a flat screen. It was pretty gimmick and nothing more.

[@cardgameenjoyer7446]

@@-ThatGuy- curved displays look better

[@-ThatGuy-]

@@cardgameenjoyer7446 Exactly. A pretty gimmick. It added no actual function and had a ton of trade offs. It looked good on some phones. But did nothing to actually improve the device beyond aesthetics.

Foldables will go the same way as curved screens

[@LurpakSpreadableButter]

I disagree, they are very useful for multitasking. I can be researching a topic whilst using ms word, all on a device which fits in my pockets, which won't fit a tablet/laptop.

[@Minto107]

5:38 wait what? So tell me what are edge panels that I still use on my S23 Ultra? Do a better research next time cuz the video is pretty good

[@nickinthelead7904]

Now the bidget options are starting to get curved screens, my note 13 pro plus has one and it's amazing

[@DeathOfAPrince]

I remember having my S6 Edge Plus and playing with the edge features with my mom.

[@afb9999]

The worst thing is that they are still being made, hate these curved screens

[@AVdE10000]

Been rocking one of these for 5 years now, and I'm honestly bummed you can't really find a flagship without it anymore. It's more comfortable to hold for me, and feels so nice to use, I'm gonna miss curved screens

[@sirsnatchyml]

My old Samsung Galaxy S9 was the most beautiful phone i ever had. Loved it ❤

[@jfyne03]

The problem with curved edge screen phones is that once the display sustains damages on its edge, it makes the phone practically useless (if damaged on the right spot). It happened to me a few months ago (& yes, I always wear my phones with cases). I was shattered 😭. I highly doubt I'll go back to an edge-screen phone ever again.

[@CtrlAltPanic]

Great video! I can’t wait to watch more! 👍

[@ErkanMehmedali]

Funny how I remember curved screens like yesterday but it has been nearly a decade old technology.

[@darkpurple_]

I hate them, they catch reflection in such an annoying way, my old phone always has white line on the side, I hate them

[@prajwalbasavaraj3588]

Everything is TRUE but I still love curved display, BTW I have vivo v27 pro not much of a premium phone, but feels premium and serves curve display purpose

[@iBogdanUA]

I had a Galaxy S8 (both sides of the display are curved) and it felt amazing, especially when scrolling content horizontally.

[@eurosonly]

Holy crap, I completely forgot about edge notifications. Samsung keeps turning them off after each update for some reason. I've gotten so used to them on the the note 8 but did not even realize they were off by default on the s22 ultra.

[@rwplm]

I've been using curved screens since 2016. No accidental touches, no glare 0 problems, and I always use a phone case on my $1K+ glass pocket computer because I'm not an idiot. Actually, I remember when the Galaxy s10e came out, and everyone was complaining that it did not have curved edges. Curved edges not only give it a sleeker look, thinner side bezels for a better edge to edge display, but it also feels nicer in the hand for those who don't use a case. Unlike iPhone a few years back, when people were complaining about it's sharp edges digging into their hands. Did it serve any practicality? Not really other than getting rid of side bezels. The only real downside is a little bit more vulnerability to cracking when dropped. Now I'm not saying curved edges are the future, or need to be on every phone, or are specifically a luxury feature, but I will say it is not a hindrance by any means. It's just a design feature, like choosing rims on a car.

[@zacharyhenderson2902]

It was really difficult to develop cases that could really protect the phone while still harnessing the curved screen features, and the glass used at the time tended to hold burned in images.

[@baconberries8097]

Never new there were phones that were curved inwards! That seems like a neat idea, actually. Especially when using your phone one-handed, having the display be higher up on the opposite side would make it easier to reach the other side of your screen with your thumb.

[@lionkinglover77]

Also, raised bumper cases were the best for the curved-screen phones. Kept them nice and safe while allowing you to use the curves.

[@jannisdavidzwahlen]

Never had accidental touch problems on my Mate 30 Pro, whats also interesting is that Huawei still curves the display on their Pro models while having a flat screen on their standard model.

[@ddyNX]

Actually Essential Phone PH-1 was the first phone to have a proper notch, announced six months before the iPhone some might argue it's LG V10

[@iP1sano]

Gestures, especially the "swipe from the side to go back" are so much better on curved display, the first curved phone I had was a Xiaomi Mi 10 and now I'm using an S23 Ultra which is still curved but the curving is much less pronounced and I can definitely feel the difference, but its not so bad. Definitely not looking forward to having to downgrade to a completely flat display on my next phone.

[@t-rexngatokorua8733]

I totally forgot about curved phones and now I miss that aesthetic haha there wasnt much to it but it was nice. It just screamed 'premium phone'. But also could be the case of 'hey they took something from us so now I want it back' despite just admitting earlier that I completely forgot this was a thing lol

[@jeffb.6642]

Now we just need automakers to take a similar approach regarding the oversaturation of controls being put behind screens and realize that this "progress" is actually stepping backwards when it comes to usability and convenience.

[@lucasbranco2764]

It's sad how marketability cuts creativity. There have been so many amazing designs throughout history that were abandoned because of low marketability

[@Mydigitalepitaph]

I had a S6. Beautiful phone and really well thought out design. Unfortunately my phone had the expanding battery issue, so was out of use within 18 months.

[@DezZors22]

now using S24 Ultra and I'm missing the curve I had with my S21 Ultra, S10+, S8+ and S7 Edge

Keep up the amazing videos! Really enjoying those!

[@JayLew91]

I never had issues with accidental touches on my curved screens. I miss them. They should have continued at least as an option

[@fenn_fren]

What happened is that we realized how awful the protective glass peeling was.

[@foxmcloud23]

If you don't use a case with your phone you're asking for it to break.
