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.

Zenodroid, 29 Mar 2018So that's why you never hear what people are saying to you ... moreI ment if they want the notch so badly then why do you need to copy the exact same design from APPLE
put the notch in the corner so you will have more space for notifications and less haters ;)
and by the way I do listen to author users %80+ of them HATE the notch
in China people don't care about copies since it is REALLY hard for them to get the real thing the IPHONE X is expensive in BOTH Europe and America and other markets don't bother buying the IPHONE X since no one will buy an expensive handset instead of a cheaper local made handset
the HUGE mistake ONR PLUS/OPPO/VIVO made is to try to sell a copycat were the original
version exist even if they can't buy it NO ONE loves nor trust a copycat specially with the amount of HATERS on GSM and APPLE fans in the US
simple right just learn to listen to your customers (as Hzmister said)

    Anonymous, 29 Mar 2018I still doubt it's a stupid as the notch.The notch can be ignored and doesn't effect the use of the phone. Edged screen gives miss clicks and most people disable most of the features anyway.

      Kyo, 29 Mar 2018Edge is much better than the notch which looks like a tumor... moreRather look like a tumor, than being a tumor most people disable anyway. Misspelling happens with auto correct, missclicks happens with edged screen. But ok, baby hands might not be big enough to touch the edges.

        Zenodroid, 29 Mar 2018You are right, edge is the worst thing ever invented on a phone. I still doubt it's a stupid as the notch.

                    pei said that "notch, but no chin" is impossible, but why didn't he put the chin on top and make the bottom bezelless

                      Zenodroid, 29 Mar 2018Lol. The notch haters can just buy the crappy edged shamesung. Edge is much better than the notch which looks like a tumor on the screen.

                            I'm beginning to think they he's not absolutely mentally stable. His "overdrive" tweet was so obviously a lie, yet he dared not just to say it, but to add and an emoji. Pathetic.

                              Lol. The notch haters can just buy the crappy edged shamesung.

                                  Here I am, not giving a f*** about the notch as much as Carl doesn't care for the broken slider implementation, only asking myself when they will finally deliver a good camera implementation. Users are complaining about useless stuff whereas there are much bigger fish to fry!

                                        To get as much as screen space on a phone, there are only two logical ways.
                                        1. Apple's way. Go full edge to edge, having notch out of necessity for the front facing sensors.
                                        2. Samsung's way. Go edge to edge on the side, leaving top and bottom bezels a bit for sensors and keeping things symmetrical.

                                        If you go with 1 yet you don't go edge to edge (which is what many OEMs are doing), you're stupid and just copying Apple for the style, not for function. If you don't want to go edge to edge, copy Samsung's way. Why is this so difficult.
