I must be the only person who prefers a chin to a forehead.

    I wonder what kind of phone they're using right now. Is it a phone from the future? :|

      The only satisfactory solution is an under-display front camera (Samsung patent filing).

        GSMArena got a horrible community with a lot of children who can't stop complaining about everything. First it was the notch, and that nobody is going to buy, yet it's seem to be a success based on the sales of the Huawei P20 and Oneplus 6. Now people start to complain about a little chin? You guys are little kids.

The usb port do get warm a little when charging and might burn the screen if there is no chin. The chin is like a safe space. Maybe. Just maybe.

                  Yes put thecamera on thebottom so all selfies are necksies. Just put the camera on top and keep a slim forehead the rest of the bezels must go and we're good. Also this is basically a Mi Mix 2 with the cam in the middle, which is already better but top would've been better.

                      why not put the chin on top together with camera and the sensors? youll be covering the camera/sensors the whole time while using the phone.

                        I dont get why make a shin when you can make a forehead instead to house the selfie cam. But well i am one of these who dont even need selfie cam

                          Woowww,it have a chin...Hate it!Hate it!Hate it!

                          So sad..the world has gone mad.

                                  Phone manufacturers should ignore these kind of people. They are trying their best to make a phone while silly human could never be satisfied.

                                  Next will be: people will hate the true bezelesa phone without notch or chin because it will break easily and more fragile.

                                  They always say "stupid notch" but they themselves are not smarter than notch.

                                        People hating about it all the time, saying “We want truly bezel-less phones”

                                        They try pop up camera for truly bezel-less experiencies
                                        People hating and saying its ugly/annoying/weird, they don’t like it

                                        Then they try camera on bottom with very small chin instead (And not even an OFFICIAl render)
                                        People hating it already saying that chin is ugly and ruins the whole experience…

                                        Give them a break at least? They are really trying hard to satisfy you guys, at least take that in mind before saying a work of probably more than a year of research and experimenting (and a lot of invensment) is worthless and ugly…. ??
