small bezels are important to people because it essentially means a bigger screen inside the same dimensions. I have an iPhone 7 Plus because of the bigger screen, but i feel the overall footprint is ridiculously large for the size of the screen. The iPhone X has the perfect size while the display is still the same or even slightly bigger.

Fair enough. Especially In the case of the iPhone there seems to have been a lot of 'wasted' vertical space that could have otherwise been used for the display (albeit requiring a different aspect ratio). But my point still remains - Is the 1-2mm of extra screen space afforded by an edge-to-edge display really worth it? For me at least the answer is no.
