Agree thereI rather have notch than curve screen. No glass screen protector is a pain.
A bezel doesn't cover up any information on the screen, while the notch does (and also prevents you from using the entire screen for full screen apps).I'm over the drama. Don't care about the notch. It's a notch or a bezel, pick your poison.
Yep. But people are going to complain either way and I just don't care much.A bezel doesn't cover up any information on the screen, while the notch does (and also prevents you from using the entire screen for full screen apps).
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having bezels around the screen. Unnecessarily large bezels are a problem, but only a problem that few phones suffer from (mainly Apple and Sony phones or certain Pixel phones).
Absent the notch, nobody has anything to complain about.Yep. But people are going to complain either way and I just don't care much.
The notch has nothing to do with special sensors. Apple just made a notch so it can tout a high screen to body ratio. You can have special sensors without notching. There is no functional aspect in its rendition in the iPhone X. It could be achieved with a normal bezel, just like Samsung's iris scanners.I think the big take away on this notch trend that irritates me the most is that the other guys aren't incorporating special facial recognition sensors and things like that. They seem to just be an aesthetic rendition of a very functional aspect of Apple's iPhone X. Or have I just missed other OEMs doing facial recognition sensors?
We'll true but they do at least have them there is what I'm saying. Not that it was necessary.The notch has nothing to do with special sensors.

And it's the same for other manufacturers. The main point of the notch is to get the body ratio. Plus Android P will be notch compatible, so you can say it's future proofing for the interface.We'll true but they do at least have them there is what I'm saying. Not that it was necessary.
The only thing which will annoy me about the notch is when it is present alongside a chin.I think the big take away on this notch trend that irritates me the most is that the other guys aren't incorporating special facial recognition sensors and things like that.

Yeah. It's like a double negative.lolThe only thing which will annoy me about the notch is when it is present alongside a chin.
It just breaks the symmetry

That would be fine, so at least you have a choice of a software bezel that is able to show time and notification icons while leaving the screen free for content or just showing the notch.I think I saw somewhere that LG was going to make it optional, i. e. as part of the screen or just black with the time/notifications. I could go for that. Now if it's ALWAYS part of the screen and whatever video I watch, picture I take, etc. has a notch cut out of it? BURN IT WITH FIRE!!
Yeah. I actually like the essential phone. Best built phone out imo. I live the feel and materials. And now with 8.1 a lot of tvr bugs are fixed. Can't wait to see what the next essential is and the pixel 3. Both are on my list this year.Blahhh bezel all the way for me! While I admit that Essential did the notch well, however. The P20 line also looks pretty good. But this notch... Nope.
However, I'm still interested in seeing how the LG G series does this year!
