They're already putting fingerprint scanners actually under the screen somehow (TIR?) - I doubt it'll be long before they figure out how to get a camera to look through a running screen while being invisible from the viewing side. Ultimate Big Brother tech right there.

Cameras are already being placed under the screen e.g. Xiaomi have implemented it and it probably won't be long before it's public.

I personally think it's too far, we should stick to bezels so we can have great hardware for cameras, speakers and screens.

I agree, I think phone industrial design peaked with the iPhone 5S/SE, Nexus 5, and Pixel 1. I'd like that design forever please.

I would love to see a successor to my old, rubberized steel Motorola Milestone with keyboard, but with a larger screen and unlocked bootloader, please. All these modern phones are way too flimsy.

I agree that dedicated hardware is better, but then again I used to think standalone cameras were always going to be better than a phone camera and (while price-for-price it's still true) phone cameras are "good enough" and the best camera is the one you have with you.
