    Go buy one phone with this cutout screens, and report back how you enjoy your black cutout screen movies, media, games...
    While pondering about it, have a look at the "cutout" effect:

          you only think sony is the good one. others are just trashes

            These screen cutout designs are really, really dumm. Why whould anyone want a black large speck on their screen while using the phone, gaming, watching media??
            Iphone X as per first reviews is atrocious in use, people gaming and watching media with a large side black screen cutout.
            Who in his right mind buys this nonsense design stuff?

                          Anonymous, 21 Oct 2017It will make all motion images more realistic and less blurry.That notch already ruining the realistic-ness of the display.

                            It is nice and all but how about impact on battery. If higher refeesh rate is so good shouldnt they just make a 240hz display instead if they really want to impress consumers. I know it will be really really good for VR and AR purposes aparts from high intensive gaming. A super smooth viewing experience without screen tearing. That would be great. But for a 4.9" smartphone; kinda overkill even for 120hz.

                              Sharp did it again! Though Apple was first to implement one but it is on the iPad.

                                  Luxor, 21 Oct 2017So, 120Hz display going to make a difference why?It will make all motion images more realistic and less blurry.

                                    120 Hz Refresh Rate Display is awesome for a smartphone but I don't think it's much required on smartphones.. I could be wrong tho.

What do you mean a slight difference... moreCommon sense of course it will be more smoother because of higher refresh rate. But it ain't worth for this kind of smartphone with that 4.9" display.
