At least the bump is symmetrical.

The bumps in one corner of the phone are the worst.

But realistically, even those don't matter because protective cases are effectively a standard part of any modern phone.

Yes, the symmetry is a huge win. I don't use a case with my phone, and the asymmetric bumps really mess up one of my primary use cases: I have the phone sitting on a desk or table reading the news.

I've been holding back on both Samsung and Apple's latest phones just because of the asymmetric bump. It is so annoying. Sticking with my old Note 8 for now even though it is out of support and receives no security updates.

I looked through the announcement and didn't see an answer to this question: does anyone know what the display technology is? LCD or AMOLED or...?

Then you buy a thin phone on paper and make it fat with a case, better if they would put more battery and less glue in. But as always designers/marketing complicate everyone life so they push their new idea: "Form over Function"

I agree with that.

I would give up the bullshit sleek look for more battery and ruggedness in a heartbeat.

I'll agree on that, symmetrical bump is a welcome change
