After all that effort to bash the iPhone for it's notch, don't expect OP users to suddenly change their minds and embrace it.. Duhhh..
I'm not a OP fan (the lack of SD card slot makes this phone totally unappealing for me), but I am an android user and I'd rather have top and bottom bezel than that HIDEOUS notch.
Also, why the eff would you put a top notch if there's still a bottom bezel?! Where's the symmetryin that?
All I can say is that I would NEVER buy a phone that tries like hell to look like the crapple iPhone! Period!
Sorry OP fans, looks like you're gonna have to choose a Samsung or a Sony after all..

robdevil XI, 30 Mar 2018Why you all saying they copy iPhone X? It wasnt even first ... moreYeah, coz it looks so much like apple x's notch. Just compare that to essential phone's notch. Plus oneplus copied the back too lols.
You put notch and justify in makes use of every space, but then you forgot chin bezels lols fail.

Its like an restaurant giving an on the house dish when you are having buffet. The notch is a distraction while watching videos, apps need to adjust themselves as as their content to it. On top of that I were to use some software solution to get a full notification bar why the notch?

I dont care about the time battary wifi indicator and so on text when i see it only when i browse something. When i play games i dont have these on screen or when i watch a video on full screen i dont see them on. I understand Apple notch as it's more like a bite from it's logo but others i dont get. You can have that notch on the corner too and that way it will look better even. It's like LG V10 or V20 that had full line bezel with buttons in them. Space is used but wont add anything for using it where you actually cant use that space anyways for what ever you want.

Get a bit of perspective!
They made a phone. A vocal minority are stamping their feet about it. That's not disrespecting, ignoring or insulting the fans...or anyone.

LOL, Apple must be grooving at the amount of publicity the Notch has generated. Fact is love it or hate it, everybody has an opinion.
The world has indeed fallen prey to the notch without thinking of a proper solution.
As for me - I AM NOT BUYING A PHONE WITH A NOTCH. I JUST DONT LIKE IT. PERIOD.
And I refuse to believe that all phones made in the future will have a notch.

They need to take their market elsewhere, do not bring the notch in western countries. Instead go back to the old invite system. OP6 is a fail, enjoy making profit...

I don't see any issue with notch since if no notch the screen will be smaller anyway. Better use all space instead of left it as border.

Instead of including the notch, make the bottom of phone completely bezel less and keep the top bezel to minimum. It will also look great.

P.S- But I really wish they wouldn't put a notch there though unless they can do a notch-like Essential Phone!

In OnePlus 7 they will remove the notch along with front camera and speaker grill, and headphone jack. Camera will suck anyway, however large screen with embedded FPS and large battery life is going to be direction OnePlus is heading for in the near future.
