The days of curved screens are over, with Google and Samsung going back to the classics.
In recent years, curved displays have only been a trend since it became technically possible to bend OLED displays But it is now clear that this is primarily an illusion. There is no real user benefit from a curved display, the edges of the screen just look narrower.
But in the meantime, the edge of the screen can be kept quite thin even with a simple design, and manufacturers are slowly returning to the classics. After the curve on curved displays recently declined and is much lower than previous years, flagship phones with flat displays are now following suit, except for Chinese brands.
Google will start by 2023
This includes the Google Pixel 8 Pro (coming in fall 2023), which is said to have a flat display. Images of the prototypes already show that the glass is slightly curved on the outer edges to avoid being soft and angular on the finger.
The market leader will likely follow suit in spring 2024
And meanwhile, the best-known smartphone insiders are confident that the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra (coming February 2024) will once again have a flat display. Therefore, the market leader, who made curved displays socially acceptable at the time (Galaxy S6 edge), will eventually discontinue this technology.
I hope Xiaomi and Co. It will follow soon Curved screens have been a real disaster recently, especially with the Chinese. Additionally, devices with strong curved screens look extremely similar and have been around for years. Boring!
