You are totally right. Like all these predictions about every flagship phone regardless of brand they're usually dead wrong. However one prediction was indeed correct. From the point of view of watching videos, movies or playing games,, when you discount the area around the sensor notch, (nobody will watch a movie with part of the screen missing) the actual usable or unrestricted viewable area is exactly 5.15", not 5.8". It's the one design choice I do not like at all. Everything else, they got all the rumors totally wrong. Best not to believe most of the rumors
