OnePlus 6 will let you hide its notch

04 April 2018
Pete Lau himself took to the the company forum to try and appease notch-hating fans.

I still don't want one.
Broke your own moto OnePlus. "Never settle" apart from copy Apple and ignore your customers crys.

        AnonD-731001, 04 Apr 2018he's a fanboy notch fanboy leftist. ............... WTF?!??!!!?!
        on what your accusations are standing?
        the fact that you just discovered that notches can't be use to display games or videos?
        the fact that you think I am a mindless sheep that follows what is trending?
        do you even Know way you hate the notch?
        I wasn't even defending the notch you can have a secondary screen like LG V10 or a corner notch like HTC U ultra
        plus how could I be a notch fanboy? ;:0
        you can't say "hey let's buy from NOTCH electronics for no good reason...oh no I forgot there is no such thing silly me :P"
        sorry to break it down this way but.......
        you just got BRAIN WASHED $P
        you think you are smarter than those marketing tricks after knowing that "FULL VIEW" is BULL$HIT
        instead you got tricked to hate the notch for no good reason
        now you are attacking neutral comments just because you think your smarter than them and that you are trying to teach them what is right (or you just an Apple fanboy ;P)
        next time before you hate/like some thing make a list about the resons you do that for
        and NEVER attack a neutral comment and call it fanboy using false accusations
        because what you just said was BULL$HIT >:(

          Saw a notch phone in the shop the other day and didn't like it at all. Looks awkward.

                nkwama, 04 Apr 2018Please make 4 Notches. Each side. Symmetrical. And hide all of them

                  Is this a joke?

                    Please make 4 Notches. Each side. Symmetrical.

Why add more screen real estate that you couldn't even use to the full? Besides, that status bar on the horns of the screen would eat more battery and burn-in fast in OLED displays compared to a screen without a notch.

                          What people doesn't know is that oneplus is a trend follower.

                            Both sides of the notch should be black and have the usual info, clock battery wifi..., always visible, but turned of, completely black, by fullscreen apps/games!

                              People want bigger batteries, sharper screens, wireless charging and proper software support (OOS Oreo ROM based on Nougat firmware without Treble support is a fail) and OnePlus decides that people apparently want a notch which ultimately they decide to hide after backlash. I wish people would realize just how uninnovative this company is. Their only advantage was the price but that will be gone in max. 2 years. Good riddance.

                                This something that should already be there in all phones with notch.

                                Phones having a notch usually have a 19:9 screen rather than the usual 18:9 aspect ratio.

                                So make the notch background black and just display the status bar contents.

                                and the remaining 18:9 of the display can be fully used by the Apps/Games/Videos, just like Immersive mode where you hide the status bar, here you are just pushing the status bar up still having it visible with the display on either side of the notch. PERFECT !!

                                Think about it WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE

                                A) A FLAT BEZEL OF NO USE (status bar will take some part of the available sceen below)
                                B) A Status Bar (Leaving the whole screen below for the app).

                                  Daisy, 04 Apr 2018I laugh when i read hide the notch.

And stupid too lose the time developing how to hide something that it's physically there. If you don't like it, better don't buy it, simple.

                                    BDG, 04 Apr 2018Well it i not only about a notch its is about that consumer... moreHow much 'extra money' is a notch? It's a choice of paying flagship money for the maximum screen area in a given frame, or paying less for a smaller screen with larger bezels. There are hundreds of phones with full bezels and smaller screens, any of you are free to choose one of those instead of a handful of notched models.

                                      Anonymous, 04 Apr 2018Hide notch, at what cost? Screen burning. I'm done with OnePlus. If it's an OLED screen, those extra pixels around the notch will just be turned off and so there's no burn-in issue.
