          Its not the notch ... i mean if p20s did not have any notch they still would be the best phones in market ... may be they would sold even more.

            I don't like the notch and don't have it but it would never keep me from buying a notched phone if it's otherwise great.

              It's like saying the link you feel sorry for someone expecting a human(homo sapiens) because you're better than a monkey(one step in the right direction.

              Some of us can see through this, care about the end result, and we are expecting the real thing. (Don't mean to sound condescending)

                              What Apple did was to extended parts of the screen around the earpiece, camera, and sensors, in order to make use of all the wasted, blank areas on the front of the phone. This is in no way a notch, it is an extension of the screen.

                                Imagine an rented allotment where you grow your own produce, so the the lease holder charges more rent as he had gotten rid of the path and now classes it growing area

                                Up to 2015 notch perfect rectangular display, so you see the added area is just to increase the display
                                Smaller bezels mean a phone can have a larger display, the argument as I understand it is that some commands fall in the selfie/ earpiece area

                                Rather than say this stolen area is sacrosanct all options are being put forward.

                                The display size is the diagonal here are three phones 6.1 inches 6.0 inches 5.8 inches using pythagorus, the display height inches are 4.88, 4.80 and 4.64. The difference is 0.24 inches between 6.1 and 5.8 inches phone or 6.096 millimetres

                                The area added by extending past the rectangular then say the notch is wasted and now needs to be reclaimed is to reverse the argument.
                                IMO more fault are probable utilising the notch
