It's a rough microsoft paint job i did but the idea is a light stripe between the metal frame and the phone itself, either transparent or dark despending if light can show my friend helped me with the glow. Since i did all this in paint things are low resolutiond and offcentered the light would be able to show any colors anywhere as shown in the rainbow picture above
I also had an idea for something called hybrid resolution, that changes resolution to 4k if you connect a tv or if you want to watch a movie in 4k. you can also use 720p,1080,4k throughout the phone or you can have it automatically change to 1080p when you play a game or a movie.
so the 4k resolution would be optional when you want it so it's like a computer.
Screen size would be 4.7 inch and if that dosn't make sense 5 inch.
battery 3800 mah if that would fit
Each corner has a speaker it's hard to see but if you zoom in you can see bad speaker grills next to the power and volume buttons.
The idea is that the light stripe is invisible once off so it won't ruin the phones overall apperance, i hated the plastic on my z1 so i thought about replacing it with a light stripe like the sp just all around that can change colors everywhere, like red at the top blue at the bottm you also wouldn't be able to see every individual led dot so it would be a clear light.

And a fifth speaker, gotta have that 4.1 in the phone you know!

i like your concept, aside of:
camera and xenon position needs to be just a little bit down-right.
xenon possibility is still very low - change xenon to dual LED flash.
"G lens" needs to be horizontal.
sony logo on the back needs to go back to it's original position like in the Z1.
front facing camera needs to go up to the center of the bezel or to the center-right.
add infra red eye next to the camera sensor like in the Japanese Z1 version.
sony won't compromise thickness for huge battery and 3800 mah won't fit your concept thickness because the phone is shielded from water and dust.
the glow doesn't fit the phone so much and seem a bit unnecessary also it would have to be oled light so it doesn't suck battery life. otherwise, a stripe on top front and back should be enough.
the glass needs to be shatter resistance or ditch the glass design for all aluminium back and sides - we don't want that annoying shatter film that makes the touch less responsive and is scratches easily - no pre installed shatter film SONY.

I do like a decent Stand-alone, but this isn't decent, not with Wear and the cost.

i feel it's kinda thick at 14.2 mm and no NFC....... Why can't they just make an international version of Urbane LTE with AW?

Chronos wear - interesting gadget.

Hardware issue, a problem with the SIM data. They are refunding everyone because they do not have a solution yet. How can the QA/Testing teams not notice such a big bug.
If anyone has tried or tested the Samsung G2 S 3G or the LG Urbane LTE V1 WebOS or the Wear version, please let us know, the battery life will only be an issue.

Why are the bezels so big?

I know it sounds like a pretty stupid question, but I'm just curious, why are the top and bottom bezels so big? One of the things I liked the most about my nexus 6 were the small bezels , the nexus 6p has iphone style kind of bezels (which are huge :/ ) and it looks bigger than the nexus 6 (which as a bigger screen)... yes it has stereo speakers, but so did the nexus 6 ! and the battery size is not huge, smaller bezels would have made the device more manageable, huawei made it work with the mate 8 , tiny bezels and a 4000 mah battery, I just drool thinking about it, I would give up the stereo speakers ANY day and trade it for something like that, I barely use them, I use headphones all the time and my phone is mute all the time (except for calls) :/

Well I certainly don't see this as a stupid question as I was wondering the same after I had received my Nexus 6p. I supppose larger bezels are established on larger internal components but I could be wrong.

because they don,t have the choice.

and, I like the fact the bezel is a little bit big. Because when i'm holdint it with one hand, my palm almost touch the screen.

Try lighting up Mate 8's screen, you will be scared by the amount of actual bezels around it in all directions. That's the magic of faux-zero-bezel, lying to you in press images and renders. Huawei is just being honest with you with the Nexus 6P.
Also, considering the addition of dual front speakers, it ain't too big in my opinion - see HTC for reference.

In order to fit a larger battery in the phone they needed to position components at the top and bottom of the device.

Interesting.

This one illustrates my main issue with the S8 and why I'm tempted to go with the S8+ (this is an S8 up against a OnePlus 3T)

I know you can do screen stretching but the fact is you will distort/crop into the intended visual

It's kind of like Goldilocks. In terms of width against a 16:9 phone like the OP3 the S8 is too small. That means in spite of a 5.8" display, a 16:9 game like what's shown above will display smaller than on a 5.5" traditional display like the OP3. But in return you have a smaller phone physically with the S8 and more physical display area for things like browsing and when using apps capable of leveraging the full vertical height (or width in landscape) of the display. The S8+ has even more display width than the OP3 so even with black bars applied you'll have 16:9 games display larger. But that width makes the S8+ substantially taller physically. So if you use a lot of 16:9 formatted content you'll either have to view it smaller on the S8 but get an easier phone to handle or larger on a S8+ but have to deal with a larger phone.
Until we all play with the new 18:9 phones for a while it'll be hard to fully assess the upsides and downsides of the new format. I'm sure there will be quite a few laypeople that won't realize until they get the phone home and start doing what they've always done what the format change really means. With LG and Samsung both moving to the new format in the name of easier to handle phones I'd imagine other OEMs will follow in short order. At least for their flagships.

With LG and Samsung going this way you can be pretty sure that apps will have support for the displays in the near future. It doesn't look like this is going away, at least not for Samsung. Samsung sells far more Android devices than anyone else and that means developers are more likely to make the necessary changes.

A Pro Grade Camera Setup:
Oppo X5 Pro features a Triple Camera setup on its back, a 50 MP Wide angle lens with f/1.7 aperture, a 50 MP Ultra-wide lens and also a 13 MP Telephoto lens. The 50 MP Wide angle lens also acts as a main shooter for taking amazing pictures.
The setup is also equipped with an impressive set of features like Hassleblad color calibration, 5-axis OIS and a dedicated NPU chip called MariSillicon X. Therefore, the hashtag (#Bringthelight) is quite apt for the device because it has certainly got what it takes to #Savethenight.
The Yin-Yang Color Schemes
There's a reason why white and black are considered the classics. When it comes to the looks, white and black won't go wrong any time. OPPO X5 Pro comes with these two impressive color schemes Ceramic Black and White. They look like Yin and Yang. The two complementary principles of Chinese philosophy. Both of these colors compliments each other and also compliments the looks and feel of the device.
Features Not One but Two Power Houses
Having a flagship processor seems like old school to me after seeing this phone. This phone has got not one but two flagship grade chipset units powering it. Oppo has recently unveiled Find X50 Pro, the next-gen smartphone range in their X-Series lineup. The model was equipped with the highest possible hardware specs right now. It has got the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset with the most powerful Adreno 730 GPU working under its good. Apart from carrying the most powerful CPU and GPU combos, this smartphones also got a new and improved NPU working under their hood. Oppo is calling it as MariSillicon X. To know more about it.
