Anonymous, 08 Apr 2018Why have it in the first place, if you're going to hide it?... moreit's giving consumers an option, because some people do like the notch while some like me don't, so it doesn't become a turn down when considering options, such as the iPhone X which doesn't have this option.

      Why have it in the first place, if you're going to hide it? Whether you like it or not, at least Apple stands by their design, not this half and half attitude.

        Hiding a notch will just give it a digital bezel. So in the end u still end up with a bezel lol

          LOL! If they were gonna hide the notch, then they might as well should have added a bezel! LOL what kind of backwards semantics is that? At least eith a bezel, they could put better speakers, a better camera, or two, all the proximity sensors they need and even a notification led.

            Worst idea, then why put the notch to behin with?

            Instead of hiding turn it intonwhat it was meant to be , a smart bezel. Black background and all the bars/signals/notification that would normally go on the notification bar...

            Tuck them away, allow for screen use. Nobody is gonna use oneplus's mode, worse of both worlds...

              Like Techrax chainsawed off the iPhone X notch, he'll probably do the same to OnePlus 6.

                      "hiding" the notch doesn't really hide it tho.

                          This just proves the flaw of the notch and yes i understand what they are ameing with it.

                          Now lets upgrade the hide feature a bit, shall we:
                          instead of shrinking the screen with the black bar and moveing the notifications little lower. Leave the notification where they are with the black bar, that would look a lot better.
                          The down side is that in time the pixels will have some colour differense .

                            Kali, 05 Apr 2018Don't spread lies. The bullets are the wireless earbuds. LOL Good catch lol!

                            Anyhow, the back in one of the prototypes looked like glass... so is a possibility but, of course, not a fact. Alghouth if they remove the back of metal, a lot of their customers are going to be as angry due to that as the notch. Something that happened with HTC and their solid phones when they added glass and bended or cracked after a small drop. A good plastic or wood with some special treatment would have been preferred for sure but not glass. Good for the One Plus repair centers or accesories industry selling back covers. Bad for customers wallets...
