I proposed something earlier in May. Basically screen protectors with White/gray borders like how iPhones from 6-8 series used to have. Didn’t get much traction.
Yeah, something like this would be a smart solution. with no need to make separate variants of whole screen modules. (I was not online for a long time, so I have not seen your proposal, oopsie)
Something I really don’t get: why don’t manufacturers make the bezel the same color as the E‑ink screen? It would look absolutely stunning and much more cohesive, in my opinion.
I would love to have a white/gray front screen bezel. That was one thing I really liked about the light phone 2… the light gray matched the screen well
