haha at least you tried man.
i'm not a fan of the curved shape either. if they want to round the corners a bit, that's fine, but keep the top and bottom flat please.

Yeah I kinda find the oblong slab design more elegant. Curves on top and bottom look like a soap |

I like this concept.
Who made this was expecting the return of Z phones. |

I really like concept Y but guess it won't materialize anytime soon or ever.

Oh boy! Haven't seen this much activity in the rumor thread in so long! Which is a good thing! Hope this encourages more sources to start posting here.
Now, I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm super excited that they're keeping the 16:9 aspect ratio! Now, the only thing left to hope for is that they keep the screen FLAT! Because curved screens are a nightmare......
So, may someone tell us if this will be the PRO moniker? CES, MWC, or IFA?
As for those who says the Pixel 2 XL has FAT side bezel, it is very true.... It's actually fatter than most none edge to edge design phones. Hence, fairly annoying. Even though I love the phone, UI is so much better than my S8+, but the blue screen shift issue plus those ginormous side bezels are tempting me very much to return it. |

I hate curved screens even minimal curves like XZ. Finding a good quality screen protector is impossible and they come of easily. Happened to me today. |

Welcome to the club Joe! My nightmare began with the S8+, now continues with Pixel 2 XL! 
Not like there's no alternatives, but they cost an arm and a leg. $40 USD for a liquid adhesive one. Probably will end up doing that if I decide to keep my Pixel 2 XL.
Don't recall if I asked or read this before, but is SONY keeping the 3.5mm headphone jack? |

Yep. We're in the same boat.I got one for 30$ from ebay and after installation the screen quality was downgraded to Nokia 1100. Only the edges had adhesive and the air gap was aweful.Couldn't stand it for a sec. It's sitting in the trash can right now lol.
Just an educated guess here but I'm almost certain they will keep the headphone jack. |

Except iphone X, all those 18:9 screen phones look the same.
Phones with flat glass look like G6, phones with curved glass look like S8.
And the screen has round corners instead of being a rectangle.
I do not see a problem when one brand uses same design for all phones.
Sony is been doing for years, all Motorola look alike.
Older Samsung shared design.
But many different brands using same front.
You do not recognize phones anymore.

Yeah hopefully Sony will diffrenate the design from other brands. BTW I'm glad they're keeping the 16:9 ratio |

Everyone (including me) knows that STB ratio also includes side bazels. LOL.
I still think the concept's top and bottom bazels are too big to be a 80% STB ratio. |

I don't find the concept appealing. It looks really old.
I also didn't like the curve design smartphone until I saw S8/S8+ in person. I find S8/S8+ phones really beautiful, although I have to say S8+ is a little bit taller to my liking.
Recently I started using samsung browser and I really liking it. It's really fast. Much faster and smoother than chrome/opera/firefox.
If Sony failed to deliver a staler camera in their next flagship I may pick up a galaxy S8 if I find a good discount.
All I want for next xperia flagship to have these things -
1. Gorgeous design with little bazels ( I'm sure this time Sony will deliver it )
2. Awesome camera ( Atleast on par with U11/S8 series phone, Not so sure about camera).
They can keep the rest of the stuff unchanged. I really like the fact that Sony keeping their FFSS despite so many companies ditching it. I hope they continue the trend and produce even louder sound in the next flagship.

Agreed. I own a S8. Pretty hand for one hand use.
Was a proud owner of Z1 and Z3. Z3 had blazing fast smooth UI even after 2 years of usage. Sadly, none of the current Sony devices appealed me to stay with Sony after Z3.
Hope sony produces a killer device next year - will immediately ditch samsung if sony does it. |

It's amazing how samsung turn things around after releasing super ugly S5 (minus note 7). Now they are producing some of the most beautiful phones on the planet. Even their software don't look ugly anymore. I still prefer stock android look and feel but samsung's current UI doesn't offend me as much as it used to. Slowdown is still a problem for samsung phones but they got the basic stuff - design, display, battery, camera, update - done wonderfully.
It's not the their phones that disturb me anymore it's their fanboys. I find most Samsung fanboys totally disgusting, especially the online sammy fanboys. We have blind fanboys in each companies but really samsung fanboys are on another level. People just have to see gsmarena and phonearena's comment section to see how bad they are. Even blind Apple fanboys are pleasant compared to them. We have one here on easto.
Sony has improve a lot in the software side after they introduce the X series. Their update got really fast and they now regularly provide monthly security update, wonderful stuff. Their software now cleaner and more consistent with stock android. I hope sony continue using lcd for at least for 2018 phones, after the pixel 2 xl drama lcd has again won my heart. I can't stand low quality oled display.
