    Anonymous, 15 Sep 2018No notch=No buySo true. Most customer think that phone is old fachioned if it does not have notch... I would even be hilariously fun, unless in reality it means that any phone company that does not put notch in their phone these days takes a huge risk...
    How Many years does it take that notch is not fachionable any more... two, three... maybe more... we Are doomed, may I say so... :(

Because I defend consumer-first actions over forced depreciation? Wow. Then in that case yup I'm a fanboy. The biggest fanboy of whatever company you think I was a fanboy of to begin with.

      There aren't any legitimate reasons to remove the port. It just creates e-waste, rendering perfectly usable and not obsolete headphones useless.

        AnonD-558092, 15 Sep 2018There is however many issues with that solution. 1- Can't ... moreAll wrong

        1) You shouldn't do it anyway. It trashes the battery to game while charging. But even so most adapters allow charging

        2) Depends on the DAC. Literally. If you are using a good DAC the quality is as great.

        3). USB C is fully symmetrical and cylindrical. The wear and tear is far less even if you were to use it for both music and charging.


        My theory is correct. Fanboys never *think*

          Anonymous, 15 Sep 2018Good. No notch. Symmetric. Notched phones are very symmetric when using a black notification background.

          For example look at the right: http://www.techannels.com/huawei-p20-comes-with-an-option-to-hide-the-notch-on-the-display/

          It's just one tap. Are you so lazy from doing it? It looks seamless due to the amoled display.

          Are you so lazy to make that tap that you'd deny us having more notched options?

            yee, 15 Sep 2018Notch-LESS?! Bring it on baby! I'm definitely having one!... moreIt has a bezel. That's like having a notch going all the way.

            It's like saying I don't like when my living room is on fire but if my whole house is... That's all right.

            Apple basically solved the wasted space of the top bezel by utilizing its sides. Nokia is now making a giant step back. Sales would punish her... People hate wasted space.

              Anonymous, 15 Sep 2018A notch is not the same thing as bezel. A notch is a cutout... moreIt cuts all the way. Are you honestly as slow?

              A notch is half a bezel. A bezel is twice a notch. It is twice as bad because it does not let even for signal in for action and time to show on top. Instead you get them several lines below taking valuable part of the screen. Such a bad idea, that is why Apple (and thankfully many Chinese) avoided it.

              No wonder that Bezelful companies are losing sales still all the while notch using companies are increasing revenues yoy.

                The sides of phones on the other hand are used for everything. Apple only technically steals. Samsung actually steals. Always the wrong end of the argument... Pfft. Samsung lacks class.

So anyone can buy them at the Rock bottom prices they sell for in their markets even if u don't live in these markets? I don't think so. The import duties u pay when u import them kinda takes away from their vfm pricing and not to mention after sales support and software localisations.
