Ugh, that bezel.

Will full coverage screens with a software driven, virtual bezel every be a thing?

I don't get why some people get so worked up about bezels. I like being able to hold my devices without accidental inputs, and to me they look better anyway.

I wouldn't mind 3cm wide bezels and accordingly larger batteries.

And pay for a screen size I won't use? No, thanks.

Could be dynamic, example, watching a movie, no bezels. Remove the bezels from the top and/or bottom, that changes on the device orientation. Placed in a stand remove the bezels, add them back when picked up.

So what mechanism would you suggest to reliably detect when I want to pick it up so it adds the bezels before I'm able to cause any accidental input?
