Most smartphones have a flat edge display but more phones are launching with a curved edge display, at least in the premium segment. The curved edge display trend can be said to have been made popular by Samsung. The Korean giant’s Galaxy Note Edge is the first smartphone with a curved edge display.
This year, more manufacturers including Xiaomi will join the curved edge display train. The Mi 10 series will have a curved edge screen unlike their predecessor, the Mi 9 which has a flat edge display. The upcoming OnePlus 8 series will also have a curved edge display, a continuation of the trend OnePlus joined last year with the OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7T Pro.
A curved edge display greatly enhances the aesthetics of a smartphone. Some manufacturers have even included custom gestures and features that work with curved edge screens. However, not everyone likes curved edge screens. First, they are more prone to breaking when they drop. They also cost more to repair. Another disadvantage is that a lot of manufacturers do not add any special features to their phones that take advantage of the curved edges. Despite all of the above-mentioned flaws, curved displays are here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future.
