What is the point of this edge screen meme?
all they showed in the ad was the ability to see what type of notification you got while the screen is face down.
couldn't they just had an extra LED on the back, that glow different colors to show type of notification?

Social status, nothing more.
You have to be more careful while gripping it
They can sell it for more

Thanks for the idea

I don't know man, Its so slippery as fuck

It just seems retarded to me, now it'll be even easier to shatter your fragile screen when you accidentally drop it.

More gestures?

a lot of phones already do this with the LED in the front facing speaker or light ring around power button
Muh bezels, I guess

Yes but on the back is truly revolutionary

My old motorola flip phone had the notification light on the top of the phone (on the hinge) so you could see it whether the phone was laying on its front or back.

Xperia U has it on every side as it's a transparent bar at the bottom of the phone

wouldn't it be easier to just not put your phone screen-down
It's only the design that no other phone has that looks awesome af. Phone gets sharp and slippery too which makes me crazy but it's pretty solid

That sounds like sense. We don't need that kinda thinking when discussing phones.
