they could have integrated 3.5mm audio jack in that hole as well!

    AnonD-632062, 25 Oct 2018Better than a normal notch. Better than a water-drop notch ... moreSadly some people will say "It's the past"

      If executed properly, this approach could mark the end of the notch era and usher on a revolution. And if it works, i hope to bejeezus they perfect the tech enough for the note10 to sport it flawlessly. Oh please let it be so!

              Better than a normal notch. Better than a water-drop notch too.

              But I would still prefer if it was a perfect rectangular screen.

                Good work samsung from starting

                  Even though i hate notches but oppo's waterdrop notch and this screen hole are actually not really a problem to me. But I'm still waiting for OEMs to remove any notches to make a symetrical true bezeless design without motorized parts.

I'd chose this anytime over the ugly ass notch. but im not saying this one is good either. better if they can make screen without any cutouts or holes at all.

                            I dont mind the corner hole. It wont interrupt content much like videos. Thats where the tv logo usually are anyway. Same goes for youtube videos. Hope they can do the promised under display camera soon.

                                This may be a pre-cursor to their alleged under display sensors. Just trying waters before bringing the real thing, which may happen in late 2019 or early 2020 flagships. Note10/S11 may be the phones that kills the notches finally.

                                  I prefer that hole at side than middle of screen.If in middle,for me it would be nothing than notch.

                                    Anonymous, 25 Oct 2018This is probably even worse than the notch, because you pro... moreOf course it can be hidden. Just darken a strip of pixels at the top that reaches the bottom of the camera hole. It's no different than hiding a notch, except the strip will probably be smaller than what's needed for notches.

You'd hopefully get the option to black out all of the screen in line with the hole, the same as with most notch designs.
