From all reports the LG G7 is going to have an iPhone-inspired notch. All of the images and rumored mockups I've seen have the phone looking, well... VERY similar to the iPhone.

What do you make of this? Do you even care? LG makes solid stuff for sure, just curious to see how this all shakes out!
 
They had that secondary display before, maybe they'll find a way to make the notch's 'horns' into that and keep the rest of the screen as we know it? I don't necessarily like having a 'dead' spot smack in the middle of the display, but if I've lived with it on the Moto 360, I could, reluctantly, live with it on a phone. Although I'd prefer if it had an option to turn the prongs off, at least when watching video.
 
I guess based on the leaks and images we've seen of late, it probably will... I'm not too enthused about it, to be frank, but my usual policy with phones is to "not knock it (LOOL that was an unintended LG pun) 'til you try it/hold it in the store"... So I'll reserve my speculations until I can actually hold it in the hand and see what it looks like.

LG actually started a Reddit thread and asked people what they thought about the notch. They received criticism and negative feedback. The post was quickly removed. Very funny actually. I hope LG listens to the people and don't board the trend train. Just focus on hardware and specs and provide competitive pricing, that's it. All they really need to do is drastically improve the cameras, everything else is great.
