Carl Pei deletes "learn to love the notch" tweet after outcry from fans

29 March 2018
That didn't go over well. To be fair, it's easy to find someone on Twitter to complain about something, but it must have been more than a few someones.

Sort by:

this company doesnt have any originality... chinese thieves ... technology is all about innovation and pioneering.. i dont want anyone saying... "ohh wow ur phone looks like iphone or samsung".. i want to hear, "wow.. this is one plus isnt it... ".

    O boy, please introduce invites only system again, but there are bunch of sheep willing to support One Minus...

      It was a mistake to defend the notch.
      However, it is a bigger mistake for such a design as it looks almost all other flagship smartphones.
      They could have done Xiaomi way with the Mix 2s where the earpiece is on top of the phone while the front camera is at the bottom. See, how much phone calls do you do these days? Do OnePlus fans use the front camera all the time?

        Only the Koreans and Japanese are left to fight the notch. Rest of the world has fallen prey to it. Last hopes on Samsung and Sony.

            Notch is nonsense. Apple did a notch because they couldnt find a better design solution to the problem of having cameras and the front speaker grill and sensors. And now everyone is following Apple without even attempting to come up with a solution. Vivo did it. Now oneplus.

            Its 'Hey me too me too' syndrome.

                The one fault of OnePlus CEO is telling about the notch to Internet, not to the real world.

                    Huawei, Oppo, Asus manufacturers copying Apple iPhone X design, their idea behind is, so that their can mislead the customers and sell their phones like iPhone X. They probably train their sales promoters to tell customers, "this is 2018 version iPhone X, which is much better than the discontinued last year old iPhone X model" Lol

                        Why should we learn to love something that is ugly and unnecessary? The CEO of One Plus should learn not to copy Apple blindly. If it was such a good idea how come no manufacturer dare come out with it before Apple did? Is there no shame in being a copycat?

                          Now he has to decide whether to release the phone with notch and faces terrible sales or redesign without notch but sales delay?

                              Does that become acceptable because Apple did it, other than another company? Rubbish! Totally rubbish!

                                  If your solution is to put a black bar via software to hide the notch, then it is clearly something wrong, otherwise you wouldn't need to hide it.

                                    Hey OnePlus, just remember 2018 isn't going to be a great year for profit, sometimes got to learn from your lesson.. wait you can't learn from it because they're Chinese copy addicts. Once your an addict, you'll become one forever.
