Voxter, 29 Mar 2018This is what happens when you try use share components and ... moreSo far most of the budget to middle range have no notch (ptui,ptui,ptui over left shoulder)
As i dont see a point to buy high end flagship phones cause i dont need the 95% of it's power. And basically will never use it so whats the point to pay more then. I am happy with under 250 euro phones. Most that are not MTK cpu will run any games with no problems and well can multitask with them too. Or what ever people do with there phone these days. I see everyone in the bus or in the streets steering there screens. Some play simple games and some are in social media. All this is done by these low budget phones.
Argument about camera quality is that when your enthusiast then you would own a real mirror camera to make pictures with. I hardly use my phones camera so it does not matter much to me. Ok i have a really low budget phone i liked and wanted to test whats it's like. Coming from someone who have mostly had Nokia phones from the age of bricks. This test subject is Leagoo Kiicaa Mix that is something 5 months old and answering calls speaker is in a weird position in top corner pointing up so if im in a bus i cant hear nothing.
So i need new phone and i am thinking of going with Meizu this time. Costs 40 more then Leagoo did when i bought it but at least my country have few retail shops for it but i will buy from China anyways. Retailers will add there fee on it and that to much usually :D
And well local dealers guarantee is a joke too. You basically go to your shop and they say they dont do guarantee or take back or give money back or even have a chance to change it to something in the market cost of your device range something different.
Btw Kiicaa Mix have got 2 updates already and it's something 6-7 month old model. When i had low budget Samsung Galaxy Gio for 2 years i got only one update. Windows phones got regularly updates and didnt have anything to complain about. And well even my Nexus 7 2013 get some updates but is stuck with 6.0.1 or something. So i have no reason to not trust Chinese unknown brands. And if my phone get broken it's easy to just buy another and save time and nerves with the guarantee process. While your on a leash with these 500 plus euro phones then it's not easy to just change.

Having a notch is a mistake from Android OEMs, it might work in China because they like Apple copycats but in the west it's a major no-no.

Anonymous, 29 Mar 2018The notch for Apple houses the face ID cameras, sensor, and... morewhat?
Apple made the notch to put the face iD in it?
that is like saying "I made the room SMALL enough to fit me"
why adding extra screen on the sides when you have to much hardware on the front?
why not making it a full bezel? the answer is:-
1) for notifications since they have no place for notifications LED
2) to make it looks like a fruit ;)
you should say:-
Apple made the notch "big" to fit face ID
don't try to defend Apple with false claims >:( you are hurting it more then helping it

To those moaning about notches...... BIG majority of you probably never had such a phone in hand.... To be honest, I was sceptical as well but once I started using phone with notch, I simply forgot about it soon after. And at this point, I rather have a notch and have usable top corners of the phone as additional screen area than have a dead black space there (big bezels)! Funny truth to the matter is, majority of the phones will have notches by years end and you will end up having it one way or another at some point and then will simply forget about it while using your phone!!!

I might fall into the minority group here, but honestly notches are a bad idea. It is simply an ugly eyesore. Apple "might" have wanted to make an all screen phone but could not hide the sensor arrays. They could have gone like the Mi Mix implementation. Carl Pei's explanation for notch is not convincing either. All of a sudden aesthetics are out of the window because they need an all screen phone? Common man! No one is asking for an it. Also, i will not call it innovation. Placing an on screen finger print scanner(Oppo) is called an innovation. Chinese manufacturers are more innovative these days.

The notch for Apple houses the face ID cameras, sensor, and mic. There is no reason for other companies to follow if they aren't implementing face ID. Everyone else should just learn from the Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.

They should probably call it the Notchplus sh!t, because this won't sell at all and profits going to decline.

It's just poor to adopt widely unaccepted design-features. Just read the reactions on MiMix2s, most people react like "beauty" or "thankfully no notch" or "glad they didn't go for the notch". I mean, xiaomi is one of the biggest phone companies who "invented" bezelless (copied from sharp) back in 2016 and yet android manufacturers go for iphone x....wtf is wrong there? If people wanted an iphone x they would buy an iphone x....I go for xiaomi again.

AnonD-748234, 29 Mar 2018Never settle...on an original design...copy apple...back an... moreWhat do you expect?
Chinese are only good at copying designs from others. But now the true innovative western companies are gone. Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson used to lead the way. Nokia is merely a shadow of its former self. Ericsson ditched the consumer market years ago. Then there was PALM, Psion and, yes who doesn't remember the original Compaq iPaq PDA. We've had years of multi platforms and amazing tech. Nokia had a full battalion of people inventing the most crazy and not-so crazy stuff, a lot that is even been talked about here on GSMArena. The only Chinese company that more or less had original ideas, that were embraced by western buyers, was HTC and look how bad they are doing.
We have ourselves to blame.
To me it looks like the smart people, AKA power users/geeks/nerds/etc..., have no influence over the stupid sheep anymore. It used to be different. Non tech-savy people used to value my input into their buying decisions of new tech. But things have changed for the worse. I see the same thing happening with generic PC's. Idiots buying laptops solely for home-use while a handful of tech-savy people understand the true value of a custom-build/self-build powerful desktop PC.
Phones are becoming slippery soaps filled with useless gimmicks. The main reason of having a cellphone has changed. From being available anytime anywhere to being a fashionable iSheep. Phones have become virtual dicks, a means to show off. instead of bullying in school we bully each other with status symbols and consumer crap.
WE are the problem!
