2K at 5.2" is such an overkill if it's an RGB stripe screen.

I see why the do it if it's an OLED Pentile, but even then it's still a tad overkill.

1080p is almost a 2k resolution.

I find 1080p now necessary for a 5"+ screen.

Let's clarify. 1440p aka 2k. In the mobile industry at least.

I have to say resolution isn't really a big deal for me but I understand people use their phones as a significant tool and media player.

I'm also not bothered by screen resolution. I'm more concerned with battery life and camera, something my current N5 is poor at

So I'm fingers crossed for either of these phone's, or I may jump to the new moto play x.

I cant say I have looked at that particular device tbh, I did consider the Z3 though but couldnt decide whether that was more a side grade or not.

Yeah they don't look too terrible. Though I wish they were smaller.

Mr_Cool · 27 Aug 2015 at 15:58

The bottom bezel doesnt sit right with me at all.

Plus I guess due to the front speakers and bezel, its said to be 146mm tall, which is longer than the M9.
Wish it was shorter.

I agree, ideally it should be Nexus 6 style...ie mega small.

I think the size of the LG G2 bezel's will take some beating.

lg g2 size and bezel ratio was the best ive ever used, loved that phone the camera just wasnt the best

looking at the leaked pics its gunna be on the large side top and bottom have a good 20mm both sides

loltim · 27 Aug 2015 at 18:34

What are you comparing it to? One of the things I love about the G2 is how good the camera is. I used to have a Nexus 5 (got rid due to broken GPS) and the G2 camera is much better, especially in low light.

low light?? either you have a different camera in your g2 than the rest of the world or you didnt have the g2 because one of the main things that got blown up about the g2 was the camera been pathetic in low light

Nope.... Bottom bezel is smaller on the nexus 6... Better for onscreen buttons. Add to that it has front speakers.

Honestly it's fine. N5 however struggled in low light big style.

add to that it's too big unless you have shovel hands

Wuss

Anyway were were talking bezels and the moto is king there. For the bottom anyway.

loltim · 27 Aug 2015 at 19:07

meh, it's ok for the bottom bezel to be a bit bigger, because you don't want your thumb pressing anything whilst holding it to read a webpage or e-mail. It's all about the slim side bezels, making your screen look like it goes right to the sides.

Only looks good when the top + bottom are superslim too.
