Samsung Galaxy S8 Screen-To-Body Ratio Could Surpass 90%, Near Bezel-Less Design (hothardware.com)

MojoKid writes: There aren't many phones on the market currently that can boast an edge-to-edge display with minimal or no bezel on top and bottom, save for perhaps Xiaomi's recently unveiled Mi MIX. However, word on the web is that the field will expand by at least one more next year, and specifically with Samsung's Galaxy S8. This runs contrary to a previous rumor that the Galaxy S8 might only come with a curved edge display. That would be surprising since Samsung needs to sell as many Galaxy S8 phones as possible after the Galaxy Note 7 debacle. Only offering a curved edge model could be counterproductive to that goal, though offering an edge-to-edge display could be the spark Samsung needs. Park Won-sang, a principal engineer at Samsung Display noted the division would roll out a full-screen smartphone display with a "display area ratio [that] reaches more than 90 percent next year," during the iMiD 2016 display exhibition in Seoul last week. The engineer added that Samsung may even extend the display area ratio to 99 percent in the years ahead, which would mean virtually the entire front of the phone would be the screen. In case you're wondering, most of today's smartphones utilize a display area to bezel ratio of around 80 percent.

    Not if it comes to Samsung.

    But to be honest - having the screen going close to the edge causes a different set of problems - that the fingers holding the phone are touching the display causing incorrect input. A problem for us with large hands.

    Mostly the same, but not exactly the same. Superficially, a guy's ass is more likely to be hairy (that can be fixed, of course) and thus have dingleberries. In my experience, a lot of men and women both have dirty asses. (for some reason, women think they have a clean ass even when they don't). The biggest difference is that a man (and a man's ass) has a prostate and women don't. That absolutely affects how ass fucking feels, for both the top and the bottom! Some people have a strong preference one way or the other. Some people prefer pickles, some people prefer cucumbers! I like them both. But I can tell if there's a prostate or not.

    For your first time, it's best if you fuck an experienced bottom to help guide you down that dirt road of pleasure. As a practical matter, it's easier to find a horny experienced male bottom than a horny experienced female bottom.
