You don't hold a phone like a sheet of paper though, so there's no reason why that would happen.

with no bezel even cradling it in your hand is going to cause issues. any apart of your skin the wraps around from the side is going to activate something

i have a note 3 and big, fat monkey hands and i end up changing screens, opening apps and hitting shortcuts all the time when i dont pay attention to how im holding it. the side bezels are nice, any smaller and i would have a ton more issues with that.

Funny I have burger king hands and a very slim bezel G3 and I have encounter zero problem.

Depends how you use it. If I'm touching with the tip of my thumb there's no issue, but if I'm swiping side to side with the pad of my thumb the meaty part below the thumb can hit the bottom right of the screen. If I don't use a case I can actually do this during normal use

LG figured out how to get great battery life with the G3 and QHD screen. What makes you think that Samsung will not be able to do the same?

From PhoneArena:

The LG G3 dethrones the Samsung Galaxy S5 in our battery life chart, obliterates the rest

According to the comments section on that site, seems that the results differ on various other websites and that PA favored LG G2 heavily last year.

You should read the comments from Korean users - it basically jives with reviews that say standby and talk are great, but once you start using the screen, it drains pretty quickly, especially if you ramp up the brightness to a normal level (weird slider games where 50% is like 1/4 brightness).

Hopefully there are optimizations that LG can introduce, but if you are used to a decent amount of on-screen time per day, you should keep track of this.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to spend an extra $6 a month for 2 years just to have tens of thousands of extra pixels that they cannot and will not ever use, or ever even see, but hey thanks for subsidizing the rest of us! In a few years we will all get tens of thousands of extra pixels that we cannot and will not ever use or ever even see. If the extra pixels didnt cost more battery power to drive, I probably would have no complaints at all about it.
