Curved display not like on a monitor, like on a cell phone vs. flat screen.
What one do you want to prefer?

What phone has a curved screen? Not sure why you would want that. That could feel weird in your pocket.
Curved which way, concave (like some PC monitors or TVs are), or convex (like an old CRT)? Although I don't think I'd want either on a phone.
I doubt any manufacturer is making or will be making a curved cell phone. Just not practical.
Good luck fitting it in your pocket, jeans, etc...
And what happens if you accidently sit on it?
Now you have a broken screen.

There have been some phones that had curved screen edges, like the Samsung S9. I believe that is the reference here.
I was never a fan of the curved display. It was difficult to hold without touching something on the screen; and as an S Pen user, the curved edge was just useless and made for less usable screen real estate.

Yeah meaning of that, my moto edge plus, really had a funny way of holding the device but once I got to used of it, seems pretty great over all, my current moto plus five G, has the same design as the Samsung pictured above.There have been some phones that had curved screen edges, like the Samsung S9.

They have gone out of fashion significantly in recent years, so most phones are flat these days.
Personally I felt they looked cool but were less practical, and much more vulnerable if dropped (unless you put them in a case which defeated the point of having the curve). Though there was one particularly bad implementation, the Galaxy S6 Edge: very curved front, thin sides, completely flat back, the result of which was a phone that was horribly uncomfortable to hold (the regular S6 in contrast was very nice).
