Would you buy a slider phone? (Poll of the Week)
June 10, 2025
Previous poll summary:Two weeks ago,we asked youwhich phone you’re most looking forward to in 2019. Out ofover 4,500 total votes, 18.8 percent of voters said they’re most excited for the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. TheOnePlus 7and 7T came in a close second with 18.1 percent of the votes, while theSamsung Galaxy S10and S10 Plus received 17.7 percent of the votes.
In the neverending quest to get rid of phone bezels, manufacturers need to be as creative as possible to appease consumers.We don’t like notches, many of us don’t likehole-punch cameras,standalone camera mechanismshave yet to catch on, and we doubt thevivo Nex’s dual-display implementationwill catch on. So, what are our options?
Some companies are actually resorting toslider phonesto eliminate screen bezel. By moving the selfie camera to the front-facing portion of the slider, that eliminates the necessity to put the camera sensor above,below, or inside the display.
Rumor has it even OnePlus is working on a slider phone, which could turn out to be the OnePlus 7. You can see a purported image of the freshly leaked devicehere.
Would you buy a slider phone? Or do you think it’s a bad idea to include more moving parts in our smartphones? I’d be too nervous that the phone might break apart if I dropped it, but I want to hear from you. Cast your vote in the poll below and speak up in the comments if there’s something you’d like to add.
