There. Fixed it for you.

But 200€? Neah, samsung would never pay so much money for just one device. Maybe they have a premium for more devices but for sure, not for just one.

What's the problem, just unlock the bootloader, root it and enable Notch support again. Oh, wait... Nokia doesn't offer bootloader unlock? Too bad. Well then happy waiting. It's just for a few months.

Finally give as an opportunity of bootloader unlock and the community will fix it. Then I'd consider to buy a Nokia phone.

Example: Galaxy S8 sell for 580 around it as my last seeing in my country but i bet they will earn more than 200 euros just for one unit, even the low end like 250 they earn as most as 80-100 so, nothing special here, sammy steal the consumers to give the stores some money to be advertised here and there.
Just stop buying sammy and crApple, stop paying attention to the ads and you will be fine with better options around.
Sammycrappy and crApple are just for the eye catching and empty pockets...those two dont deserve the price tag they carry, you just overpay for looks.

It is almost like they force you to buy a samesung in some parts, and if you want so'ething else, is the other way arround, they are not interested to sell.

If notch-hiding is native in Android 9.0, then it makes sense for Google to ask Nokia to remove the custom solution to avoid software conflicts before Nokia pushes the 9.0 update. They are in the Android One program after all, with emphasis on stock software. There's nothing sensational about that.

Google is sensitive where the notch is concerned, they are protectors of the notch.

You can hide the notch with app available on play store. However in some apps, the status bar icons change to black, so having black area around notch basically hides the icon aswell. Maybe that is why Google forced them to remove the toggle.
And: All of you saying notch is useless. You probably dont think enough about it. Ok, you hide the notch, you get classic screen as if there were bezels, BUT! You forget you have status bar around notch, IN the "bezel". so you DO GET more screen, or in other words, you have full screen apps AND time and icons..
