Admirably, in a sea of iPhone imitators, Samsung stays notchless, and manages some pretty teeny bezels.

S9+ featured left and "bezel-less" notched iPhone X on the right.

On the backside, the iPhone X camera bump may reach ugly heights, but the S9+ sensor arrangement is more sprawling and awkward looking in comparison.

These glass backs are rapidly becoming the industry standard thanks to wireless charging. Cool feature; bad news for butterfingers.

Of course, the iPhone 4S had a glass back you could replace in two minutes; we suspect that won't be the case here.
