On the other hand, there is a big market of new smartphones like LG G7, OPPO F7, Huawei P20 series, OnePlus 6 etc, are all either are confirmed to have notches or rumored to have one.
Since the start of 2018, flagships and mid-rangers phones look as if to adopt the design of iPhone X’s notch.
We can clearly see the clash of interest as smartphone manufacturers are now embedding the notch. However, it is not popular amongst the people especially Android users.
Here are some of the top comments by survey respondents on the Notch poll where people are expressing concerns regarding the notch design:
“I’d rather have very slim bezels than a notch. A notch will block some parts of the content on your screen while you’re in landscape mode. They get in the way while you’re watching videos, playing games, etc.”
Another user put his concerns into words by saying,
“Notch? No buy. Just like the headphone jack: No headphone jack, no buy. It’s that simple.”
“It destroys the harmony and symmetry of the screen. Ugly”
“Got the Note 8 … So I don’t think I need a new phone for two years, ie until notch period is over….”
However, it seems that within next two years we may get rid of notch problem. As, display and component manufacturers raise their under-glass game or new bezel-less solutions found in Vivo’s Apex concept smartphone.
Now, it’s your turn to tell, will you prefer a notch phone or not? If you didn’t take part in the Notch poll, then surely you can tell us about your choice in the comments section below.
