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.

AnonD-744321, 29 Mar 2018can we stick to this deal "ze"ndroid please That you hate copies, but you are allowed to copy? Hmm, I don't know. Everyone copy something from each other, no matter what brand. Get over it. And notch will always be better than edged screen.

    And this is not long after OnePlus teased Xiaomi for deleting their tweet after receiving an unfavorable response. Oh the irony.

        [deleted post]I hate apple and Samsung. But I hate more people who think nobody copies anyone else. Just like you hate yourself, for copying everything around you ;-) just promise us that you won't hurt yourself, because that's also copying emos. But by not doing anything, you are copying everyone else. Maybe you should just stop hating ;-)

            Too much over nothing.

            The notch solves the issue of the notification bar taking the place of usable screen space.
            It is beyond me why more companies don't use the black theme as default so that whiny users would accept it (look, it's a smart bezel!)

            ...too much over nothing.

            It is progress, opposed by rabid fans that know nothing.

                              the notch is ONLY good for notifications and displaying the back ground
                              and extra pixels on NON-OLED screen drine the battery a bit faster and slightly decrease the GPU profurmens
                              notch PROs
                              1) better notifications then the LED flash
                              2) fully displaying the background
                              notch CONs
                              1) the notch take some extra battery life (on LCD screens only)
                              2) takes a bit of the GPU profurmens
                              3) anable to disable the notch to save battery
                              4) it is COPIED so NO ONE will love it
                              so the notch isn't so bad but the bad thing about it is its reputation since it is copied from apple (and because NO ONE loves nor trust a copycat) no one will love it
                              and most companies write $HITY lies and BULL$HIT on the retail box like "THE ULTIMATE FULL VIEW" or "THE FIRST ANDROID BEZELESS PHONE" it is ALL marketing BULL$HIT
                              as long as they DON'T say this $HIT in the promo video I can live with a notch (;

                                  Lost respect for Carl Pei, never listened to the fans since OnePlus 5, now just copying design of Apple. No originally whatsoever. I think he needs to resign.

                                    OnePlus fans don't worry. Once OP6 fails, they will ditch the notch in OP6T, you just gotta wait 6 more months for that. ;)

                                      If you have a problem with the notch, then be happy it doesn't look like this. https://youtu.be/wMFJYmNRCCQ
