    I have the Lenovo Phab2 Pro among my devices and it's very entertaining and enjoyable. Judging by that l am very interested in this new device, but any sort of notch would be a deal breaker.

          A dent in the bezel, and the glass goes poof. There's nothing protecting anything really, it's all just a mid-conception.

            Plot twist... It has a notch at the bottom :p

              If this means getting rid of front cameras, I'm totally very fine since I barely use it.
              If anything, they could install an OLED screen at the back for selfies to work on it.

              But this is dangerous. The bezels are there for the protection of the screen. When the phone is dropped, it's basically the whole screen panel also being dropped. And predicting it will be an OLED screen, repair of this phone will be a wallet killer.
              I hope not. But we seriously need more competent and forward-thinking innovators in this world. We don't need someone who will basically make a device that already exists.

                I don't believe this. In the Brazil G6 announcement event, the presenter advertised 80% STB ratio, with the phones still ended up with 75% STB ratio.

                    I'd prefer a notch over a bottom camera. That's why the Mix was a pass for me... Cameras go on top or not at all. :/

                    People go on about the usefulness of the space created by the notch as if everything they did in life had a proper use and purpose. Just because Apple made it popular, they have to hate it.

                    I really don't see the issue, if you like it, use it, else disable the notch and go on, basically every flagship has OLED screens, and you literally are losing nothing.

                      There we go! We have the winner. Simplicity is the key to success. I really dont get the Notchers, awful.

                        How about a tiny back screen only for making selfies and video calls. In that way we don't need front facing camera or they could add the pop-out front camera. People don't use it that often that it should be visible all the time as a bezel or notch. Also the light sensor could also be placed at the side of the phone and we don't need a iris scanner or 3D scanner or if we do could also be added to pop-out camera.

                          Another company, another Notch, ugh.
                          I'm tired of this trend. I don't like it. Even if the screen fills almost all, having a little cutout for FFC and sensors, or placing Notch, is just... Meh.

I could do without a selfie camera all together but I know I'm probably in the minority.

Iphone is like Ferrari. Was a good brand. Today, is only seeling her name and brand with expensive prices. Look at Iphone, the battery sucks, most of apps doesn't use his screen.
