#3Now that we have gorgeous displays, I'd like to see manufacturers compete over a new metric: Smallest Total Bezel Area.
The bezels on all phones today are just too damn big. The top bezel should not be taller than ~6mm (enough for speaker, camera and sensors) and the bottom should not be more than 4mm (enough to round the phone) and the side bezels should basically not exist at all.

There is a concern about unwanted touches being registered if the bezel is too small, but the interface and screen controller could probably be adapted to minimize this.

That would affect the user experience of the device. How would you hold the device? How would you play games?
HTC Sensation is an whole-screen device, but the user experience is really bad. I prefer iPhone 4/4S design any other day.

The bevel could be virtual - painted on by the OS or application but not accepting touch inputs. Perhaps even custom to the user preferences. It could go away for certain uses cases, like full screen video. It could even have function buttons rendered on it that are context dependent.

Photographs and magazines are full-bleed, but we don't mind it. As long as the device is smart about ignoring perimeter touches, I wouldn't be surprised if in the future our phones are full bleed with speakers and cameras hidden behind the display.

#9So why is it that we're still stuck with 1920x1080 on our desktop displays? And don't even get me started on laptops!

Still may not be up to your liking, but according to this screen vs. body chart, the Note is the current winner in lowest bezel%, followed by S3.
