I don't understand what it is that folks don't get why the face unlock feature doesn't match the iPhone or the pixel 4. Why is this an issue at all? The face unlock feature does not have infrared and it really is that simple. I loved face unlock on the pixel 4xl, but I'm not ready for a notch! It's high time Google treads its own water. I'm willing to bet that if there comes a day when a phone can securely read your face without a notch, that works flawlessly, then Google will figure it out first! But, right now you just get a well lit face unlock feature! Otherwise, use your fingerprint. It kills me how Android fans want EVERYTHING on a phone, including bragging rights over iPhone and Sammy fans, but they're not willing to pay for it! The GP7P, is nearly a flawless design at its price point. Just ENJOY IT!
