They aren’t necessarily silly, but these options were definitely quirky, especially LG Wing.

    Finally someone agrees with me. I swear it felt like I was the only sane person around. The curved edges made no sense design, use, or otherwise.

    I managed to mostly skip that BS by going with phones that didn’t use it, but I still had the occasional misstep whenever using someone else’s phone to check out their photo or whatever.

    Frankly, I’m happy to see it become less mainstream.

      I found it annoying on my Note 20 because that space was mostly lost for using the pen. Glad to have gained that real estate back for writing on the S24 Ultra

      They were annoying from a reparability perspective but they did look good. I suspect many of the people who had problems with accidental touches didn’t understand how to hold a smartphone (using pinky as support at the bottom). I actually saw a reviewer complaining about this on a new phone recently, and the way they were holding it made absolutely no sense.
