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.

No "notch", it is stupid idea. Does Your TV have some notches? Does Your laptop have notch? And why may we want it???

    I still hate the Cyclops' eye, and trust me that's a minor way of calling it.
    All notch lover's get an iPhone X and if you can't well... Get a OnePlus or an Oppo or a Vivo.... You get the General Idea...
    We don't need another poor Man's iPhone X. It's time android phone makers Get real & show some guts. Learn from Samsung. They haven't changed the design just cos Apple has.
    We need good phones, not good copies.
    PS: I still hate the Eye of Cyclops aka the NOTCH

      Why do these copy cats do the notches but leave the large chins?
      F*cking idiots!

        Anonymous, 29 Mar 2018Your F!@#$% Looks really oldschoolPhones are supposed to be practical.

        The way elongated screens and notches are used today are not practical at all. On the contrary. Most (if not all) notched phones have no notification LED.

        If you'd have a separate left down-swipe (notifications) and right down-swipe (quick toggles) then a notch is a visible divider. But the way non-modified Android utilises a down-swipe now (single down-swipe for notifications and double down-swipe quick-toggles) a notch is completely useless.

        Besides. The iPhone X fails to achieve it's sales goal (and thus is by definition: a failure) yet Android handset makers keep following this "failure"! How stupid is that?

            I don't know why you waste your nervs on forum discussions, while no one listens to the fans. As you can see they doesn't listen, they are telling us we don't know what is good for us. Just don't buy the phone, there are notchless phones.
            Next year they will change their mind if the model is not sold good enough. We shouldn't be loyal to companies, which doesn't care for their clients, just move from one company to another.

              Notch = no buy.
              It's that simple.
              I don't want small "real" screen in a big body.

                Never settle...on an original design...copy apple...back and front.

                First oneplus was unique, then it all went downhill with the design team, erm, copy team.

                        Super pathetic.. Tge notch from hell! Its gonna be a funny historic glitch in phone designs. How hard is it to make a tiny hole in the screen for a "multi sensor" and earpiece can be on the back or through another tiny hole

                          Fitbri, 29 Mar 2018All this endless copycat dialogue. Who cares. I mean, notch... moreBecause it's ugly. And many android users like to believe that android phones don't follow iPhone's designs, so they get shocked when (surprise) they do.

                          Both iPhones and androids that do the notch are stupid.

                            Petr, 29 Mar 2018Notch = the most idiotic "innovation" in smartphones recently.thats why most android phone obsessed with that

                              All this endless copycat dialogue. Who cares. I mean, notch or all the way across. You have to house the bloody bits and pieces somewhere so a notch is necessary. Just because it's not all the way across, you get all this ranting. Many companies take good points from others so it also has practicality. Just get on with it. Copying is a form of flattery. I prefer the utility bar all the way across. It's all subjective at the end.
