      And every year they increase the speed a bit with better SoC but increase even more the price in proportion and absolutly lack of add useful features for the higher price that other flagship (this is one with those prices) have, lack of OIS, lack of IP 68, lack of microSD card, lack of comfortable wireless charging, lack of FM Radio, lack proper image processing, etc. Not one at least for every price increase they have made.

        Bah, the notch is still there. You'll stil see the physicall line that divide it. And is not the same tone of black, you'll watch the difference. This is only a trick to try to fool and sell it to people who do not like the notch.

        If you don't like the notch, don't be fool, don't buy it. It'll be your best decision and choose a phone without it or wait till new models arrive to the market that you really like.

            2) I DO hate copycat BUT copycats mean ripoffs like UIefone X or BLUMIX (the HOLE brand)
            NOT inspirations
            the notch didNT invent the notch essential did but essential is a miner brand it doesn't compete with the big brands (Samsung,Sony,LG etc) so no need to do what they did to compete with them
            but Apple is a HUGE threat because of the popularity and the amount of fans so copying (inspiring) from them is they only way to compete
            another example is Sony,s slo-mo was copied (and improved) by Samsung in order to compete
            the notch was token and improved by oneplus (smaller notch) but people just hate brands copying the design they don't mind copyed soft/hard ware
            way do you think android P will support notch? it is an attempt to ruin Apples design reputation how?
            with more notch phone iPhone X design will no longer be "NEW"

              I hated the notch originally but have come around over time (I'm an S8+ user).
              The advantage of the notch is that icons and time can go into the space left and right of the camera/speaker. that gives you an extra 4-5mm of vertical height.

              If you don't like the look then use a black bar, you won't even see it on an amoled screen.

                    V30 is the king of beauty when it comes to top and bottom bezel without notch but still equipped with front facing camera: not hiding inside the phone which makes it weird whenever you want to take a selfie, the camera will pop up which makes it weird and like a little spy camera...XD

                      A liiiiitle step towards what it should be.
                      But, let's just don't get enthusiastic. It might be implemented wrongly.
                      And ... there are still some more steps to be done, to make it good

                              No, because when Oled displays shows black, that part it'a actually turned off, so it's like there's no display over that area.

                                this is what happens when amateurs wanna imitate the GOAT and fail miserably. NOBODY, told you to copy Apple, yet you did. Great job Android.

                                Come I clap for you.

                                  Yeah.. come to you soon, as an update.

                                  Its like selling you a cheese burger, without the cheese. Only to deliver the cheese after you finish eating half of it.

                                  Tip for CEO: Release the cheese burger ONLY when all the ingredient arrives!

                                    Anonymous, 05 Apr 2018why keep notch if you want to hide it anyway?!!It will still save screen space since the clock and icon will be around the side of the camera instead of underneath it that’s why. Kinda like how the old LG phones were with the mini top screen.

I believe others brand also will copy the same method.

                                        What a super genius idea! Hide the notch! Then you are back to square one: a black top bezel, they could avoid all these hilarious-embarrasing situation by simply avoiding the horrible notch in the first place! What a bunch of idiots
