So since pre-ordering and receiving my pixel 3 XL I've always embraced the notch. There had been a few times where I used natcho notch all and hide the notch. I liked it because it keeps the clock and status bar at the top while eliminating the notch, however, I hated it when I had my pixel 3 xl on my pixel stands which I have setup to display photo albums. The issue is when displaying photos it shows the notch same thing when playing music from Google play while it's on the pixel stand. Also if I just want to look at the time and I don't have the need to unlock the phone via the finger print reader and hit the power button once to glance at the clock same thing it shows the notch making it inconsistent and annoying for my taste so I ended up embracing the notch. If Google provided us with a way to hide the notch like natcho notch it would be my preferred way to use the phone.
Just recently I tried out the hide cutout feature in the developers option and at first I didn't like it. Then my brother picked up a pixel 3a XL which has no notch but a bezel. I then tried hiding the notch via the developer options again and little did I realized the bezel seems to be more or less the same as the new pixel 3a XL. After forcing myself to use it this way for about a week "which was supper weird at first" now I seem to prefer this over the notch and natcho notch all bc of it'd inconsistency when the screen is locked. Basically looks like a notchless pixel 3a xl or even similar to my old pixel 2 xl experience.
Curious to see how you guys are using your phones. Embracing the notch, natcho notch or hiding the notch via the developer options? I know a lot of people argue that you lose screen if you hide the notch and I totally get that and I was one of those who felt the same where hiding the notch seemed rediculous. Also, my wife had a pixel 3a the smaller pixel and after holding it and setting it up for her I kind of grew to like hiding the notch.
How are you guys rocking yours???
