Hi, I’ve owned exclusively Samsung for the entirety of the smartphone era and I fucking hated the S7 rounded edges and every year since I’ve hopped they’d have a flat screen. You can’t put a real scream protector in it and these rounded screens have been the only ones I’ve ever cracked a screen on. You can put the rubber condom screen protector on but it feels like swiping your finger across a balloon.
I was hoping the S24 would have a flat screen. Yesterday I dropped my S21 Ultra 4 feet and the screen cracked. I might change to a different brand because I’m tired of not being able to use a tempered glass screen protector.
I just got the Pixel 8 Pro and the lack of rounded edges is nice. However, even with the Spiegen liquid air case that doesn’t cover the bezel completely, I am having some problems still reaching the edges of the screen in scenarios where I want to select text. That aside, it’s rarely an issue. (I just moved up from a Pixel 6 Pro that had rounded edges.)
I switched to the Hyperion launcher and got rid of the Google search bar on the home screen recently too. Trying to de-google, or at least, reduce Google intrusiveness has been fairly easy. (De-googling a Pixel is fairly moot, I know.)

The render makes it look flat? EDIT: oh I see it’s mostly flat but edges are ever so gently curved. RIP.
Otherwise, I’ve been using Whitestone or amFilm UV glue tempered glass protectors for my S21U.
