I have got to agree with you there, I don't have fat fingers yet I still manage to get mine quite often when I have it in landscape. I suspect that a phone with this screen will cause you to hit the bottom android buttons annoyingly often.

This also means no front camera (which I don't mind) or speakers (which I do).

I really cannot see this being picked up widely.

It would be quite useful for desktop monitors intended to be used in multi-display systems. Focusing on phones seems like a waste.

I suspect Apple will be all over this because minimalism.
Remember their 1-button mouse?

I doubt Apple will be all over this because they rarely innovate these days

Funny how whenever an advancement is made, asinine comments immediately follow. Read the article again. Lots of phones already have edge to edge screens. Not just the Samsung Edge phones. Phones are held from the sides anyway. Finger-prints and smudges will happen regardless.

Nobody holds it on the top or bottom! Do you?

This development just reduced the size of all non-curved-AMOLED supersized phones considerably in terms of length but the asinine comments only talk about smudges?!?!
