If your going to hide the notch why have one at all! It just leads to a thick bar. They would be better doing a thinner bezel across the full screen so they can spare the parts out or do like the Mix 2S

      That's not even funny. It's ridiculous. They trying to be "apple for poors" but don't realize what people really want.

              Does anybody know the exact date of launch?

                Why not just turn area around notch black and use it for notifications you get more screen estate and no visible notch

                  WHAT????
                  you can't use the notch to display pictures/videos/games
                  actually you can't do the same on "FULL VISION" a.k.a tall screen except for tall screen supporting apps
                  the ONLY USEFUL thing you can do with a notch is displaying notification
                  other USELESS things are displaying wallpaper and a part a picture (to trick silly customers like you) and an excuse to call there phons "bezeless" jhst like tall screen
                  don't worry I was silly like you (probably worst) as long as you don't like/hate it for no good reason then you will know what is right ;)

                    Nice post. But if OnePlus don't give the dedicated notch that will be a better option because Android P already has display the notch option. For gaming and multimedia experience, the notch isn't suitable at all.

                      Create a problem everyone hated. Fix a problem you created with a stupid solution with no app supported. Great job. Never Mind.

                        Hello Life, 04 Apr 2018YOU ARE THE fanboy here.. probably you own a cheap one plus... moreFANBOY my A$$ D:<
                        1) no I am not poor but yes I can't afford Apple or Samsung because Donald Trump is LITERALLY bullying on my country we have OFFICIALLY the 9th $HITYest economy in the world and yes I have Samsung galaxy tab 2 which is $HITY we only bought it because my dad didn't trust any of the "cheap" brands now he is use the $HITYER Samsung j1 mini :P
                        (I am CLEARLLY not planning on buying a a "PREMIUM" or "cheap" device)
                        2) if you don't believe that notch was invited see your self
                        3) if something doesn't harm you then why hating it? the notch is useful for displaying notification instead of secondary screen or LED flash and hide notch is to keep haters away and io save battery
                        4) iPhone X REALLY need hide notch/bottom bezel not to keep haters away but to save battery ( blow 2000 batter and 5.8 inch screen isn't a good mixture)
                        don't EVER call me a F*CKING FANBOY

                            You mess up big time oneplus by increasing the price and worst decision by having the notch. Your time of dominating the budget flagship is over. Oneplus sucks.

                              AnonD-744321, 04 Apr 2018Apple didn't hide it because they "think" they invited it ... moreYOU ARE THE fanboy here.. probably you own a cheap one plus 2 or some cheap device like that. You probably bought it because you can't afford iphone or samsung or any premium device, which translates to your payscale, or how poor you are. which also translates your intellect. Thank you.

                                You think killing big part of your screen is brilliant? :D ok..

                                The whole point with the notch is to give you as much of screen as possible in smaller compact size. I can't understand why anyone want to hide it by having huge black bezel.

                                  Don't buy it until this unwanted copy is fully implemented. Don't believe the "it'll be implemented later" bs!!! They will find excuses to delay it ... "we had to prioritise features our users wanted. So hiding the notch had been move to the back of the list. Thanks for your understanding."

                                    notch is the replacement of LED flash (at least on OLED)

                                      Putting a notch then hiding it. What a brilliant idea.
