A true premium phone don't need a selfie camera, that shoulde be reserved for midrange phones. I mean do you see educated people over age 30 taking selfies?? No thats reserved for the LOL-aged people (ages 5-17)

    A patent for a look? Cmon, how could someone really approve it? This is one of the worst approvals ever and should not be even considered. It is the way technologies are progressing and sammy wants some fee for something on a paper...

          I don't care about the models with notch if they release a FULL screen ones that no ones have less APEX from Vivo. So, you'll can keep with your notches and old bezels phones while Samsung customers will buy and own a real full screen flagship phones plus foldable ones.

            Please dont implement the notch, Samsung.
            I beg ya not to follow the idiotic trend which a fruity (pun intended) company created.

              Right...the flexible phone was shown in january of 2013 at CES, Samsung made it look like it was just around the corner... Looking at these patents are a waste of bandwith tbh, Samsung are liars.

                The lack of headphone jack on the second design is worrying, I hope Samsung is just patent trolling.

                        Hmmm....
                        This things keep going and going. I wonder where Samsung put those sensors and FFC if they will keep the front all screen.

                          If Essential Or Other Notched Phone Manufacturers Removes The Notch and the Bottom Bezel, and Puts A Small Screen In Backside For Selfie, then it would be Awesome.

                            If you click on the sources you can see they were filed in 2016 :D

                            A whole year before Iphone X and Essential Phone.

                            So seems like Samsung had the designs from 2 years ago.

                              Alien , 16 Apr 2018By the way things go, pretty soon they'll patent Earth! Yeah sammy will pattern earth is flat. Wahaha.

                                This Notch stupidity has to stop asap ..
                                I get a bad feeling that, it will never end now .. its like falling into a void forever unnecessary ..

                                  Atleast add a "hide notch" feature. Q~Q

                                    Hope it's only for other business and not for Samsung's own products ..
