Abstract
In aspects of selectable element selection within a curved display edge, a wireless device has a display screen with curved display edges to display a user interface that includes one or more selectable elements to initiate respective device application actions. The wireless device implements an input control module, which can detect that a selectable element of the user interface is displayed at least partially within a curved display edge of the display screen. The input control module can receive a touch input proximate the selectable element of the user interface, and determine that the touch input is received within an element selection distance threshold as an intended touch input to select the selectable element. The input control module can then initiate to activate a respective device application action based on the intended touch input being proximate the selectable element within the element selection distance threshold.
