The Notch. Will you commit to it?

[theFOoL]

Most companies now are making a Flagship Smartphone with a Notch All because of Apple! Why? It's not like we asked them to do so. This is becoming something I don't care for within a phone's Display. What's next... RGB?!

Phones with a Notch

​

 

[Toothless]

I don't understand. Are we saying yay or nay to it?

 

[Capitan Harlock]

Still rocking my Nokia 5230 so nope XD .

 

[Hood]

No. But why are there 2 copies of the same photo in the post?

 

[R-T-B]

No. But why are there 2 copies of the same photo in the post?

Because he double posted the same photo, much like this post is a double post of his "stupid trends" thing where he went on about notches as well.

No offense, but there is absolutely no need for this thread.

@rk3066 Please add some content and your intentions for creating this thread to the OP if you can. We'd like to see a little more relevance to what you're seeking here and why you felt this thread was worth creating.

A simple statement and image isn't good enough in this situation. I know you have mentioned the notch issue in another thread before, I personally haven't noticed nor care about it, but if you could take the time to inform us with your thread, and at this point the original post, that could be very helpful and useful here. Thanks!

I’m a big dummy. What’s a notch?

The irrestisitable urge for smart phones to be all screen, except that the manufacture aint so easy, leaving a notch where the speaker needs to go.

It's PR-mageddon.

Exspensive smartphones no thanks. I would rather spend money on pc hardware.

Exspensive phones has never been my thing. Buy cheap and then keeps it until it breaks.

So no notch for me.

Like with the Huawei P20 Lite but I like it cause the Left/right corners aren't aligned with the rest of the Display like the iPhone X is

I took a 1080ti and free phone over (enter subpar GPU here) and (enter expensive phone here) when I switched providers. Money best spent.

So far I really don't like the notch. To me it throws off the entire look of the phone, it ruins the status bar.

I'm very pleased with the appearance and functionality of my Oneplus 5t, but I heard rumor that the Oneplus 6 will use a notch. If true, I can't see myself purchasing it.

I hate the notch. I use my ZTE Axon 7 Mini for all my movie watching, it has dual front facing dolby atmos speakers that sound amazing and an oled screen, its gorgeous and sounds great for my movies... the Notch would... well its dumb imo.

I hope the ZTE Axon 9 Mini copies same design as current one but with better specs, I think its the best phone design ever for those of who primarily watch movies on our devices. I compared it to my brothers galaxy s8 and lg g6 and I still prefer my zte axon 7 mini, the sound is loads better, and the OLED is not as saturated, and the LG G6 IPS panel just cant compete with any OLED

 

[theFOoL]

yeah I heard that too for the OnePlus 6. Sad as it is but if it's like the Huawei P20 Lite notch then i'd buy it


lynxn29, yeah those dual-speakers are thus-shitZ! They with the 9 Mini may go for the Ear piece to mono speaker like with the uhh which phone was that?

Free phone nice. But yeah i will so much more buy a gtx 1080 ti than a exspensive phone and had to only get a gtx 1060. What i also dit. Got 1080 ti and a cheap huawei last yeah. I have no regrets.

 

[dyonoctis]

There was an article that talked about this, I jsut don't remember the website, but the bottom line is that the notch on the iphone x was a compromise, but some manufacturers think that it's a feature, and started to copy it. Meanwhile, vivo choose to make a pop-up camera, Samsung and Lg stayed conservative. The notch is just making things awkward, for the sake of a few more % of screen space, that's from over function in all it's glory.

 

[theFOoL]

dyonoctis, was that for the front camera? I remember seeing a phone like that somewhere recently...

LINK Just a great idea...

No. It's dumb design choice and feature. It breaks screen consistency, requires more work from developers to stick crap in the space next to it specifically, looks dumb when viewing video or photos... I warned that all idiot companies will just copy idiot Apple. And here we are now...

 

[Vayra86]

My god this feels like a repeat of the topics I've seen elsewhere, including the inevitable link of the VIVO phone with camera popping out...

Do people even realize that the big move forward for digital camera in phones was the removal of moving parts?

It feels like we're going through the motions here. Close this nonsense already, its old and only the overhyped Twitter community cares for overpriced phones.

@OP: GSMArena, seems like a great place for this

We've had this topic pop up in threads already, which is probably why it feels like a repeat.

Yeah, pointing that out is aparently "low quality" though.

I love it here, but you guys are seriously getting weird with that option.

Don't worry, that's all I have to say about it.

I think its weird we are even discussing this kind of stuff. 7 days out of the year, I unplug everything from the wall, turn off my phone, and just sort of, live Amish. It is very refreshing and really gives me perspective. When I plug back in, everything feels really odd for a few days until I get my bearings again.

It is amazing how our brains work, haha... I think there is something there though... :/ We should have done more as a species... now... the Epicurean rules us all.
