Rumors about Samsung majorly downsizing the bezels on the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ didn't pan out, and all we got were slightly narrower bezels above and below the Infinity display on the company's newest flagships compared to the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. That'south non to say there aren't notable design improvements on-board. The S9 and S9+ are more than resistant to impairment thanks to thicker glass and stronger metal, and the fingerprint sensor is where most people should have no bug reaching.

The Infinity brandish itself has improved to the point that it can display colors "visually indistinguishable from perfect," but once more, with the bezels remaining virtually the same as the S8 and S8+, there certainly wasn't whatever need for Samsung to adopt the iPhone X notch.

Galaxy S9 concept with a notch is beautiful

But those who accept wondered how the Galaxy S9 and S9+ might have looked with a notch and virtually no bezels, well, graphic designer Martin Hajek has conjured upward some concept images showing such a Galaxy S9. These images are stunning, to say the least, and in addition to putting a notch upwardly superlative, the concept also envisions bezels thinner than even the iPhone 10, thanks to the curves on the side.

Such a pattern may not be applied, especially with Android's reliance on on-screen navigation keys for device performance. iOS puts functions such equally the back button right inside the UI, with developers getting free reign on where the button can be placed (which messes with uniformity, a long-standing complaint of even iPhone lovers), and the iPhone X works with gestures to make up for the all-screen design.

And, of course, the notch may non exist equally necessary without something similar the iPhone Ten's Confront ID technology, which allows Apple's Animoji feature to stay a step ahead of Samsung'south AR Emoji. But again, the images are nice to look at, and you can check out a few of them below. For more than of these, striking the source link. Don't forget to have a expect at our Galaxy S9 review.
