      Your last hope would be for Sony to have the balls to return the jack again on their flagships, since it probably made them realize that removing it was one of the sole reason for their poor sales this year.

      I don't doubt them, because just when we thought their side-mounted fingerprint readers will never return again, their rumored XA3 and XZ4 devices appear to have them on board once again, and they might do the same thing for the headphone jack. After all, they're also an audiophile company and it wouldn't make sense that their phones would miss out on one of the most simple yet very crucial standard audio hardware for more than 2 decades.

          Maybe have proper implementation of it like the LGV20 second screen and not that dumb Pixel 3 XL crap.

Hurray for Samsung for giving us big slabs of phones.. Even Apple gave up on their 4" iPhone SE with no successor LOL

                mj, 08 Nov 2018Samsung all i can say to you are 3 words: Mi Mix 3.What about it, it's an average phone for today's standards.

                    Samsung has been doing notched screens for a long time, what Samsung is not doing is a phone with a notch.
                    Samsung screens are on plenty of phones, including iphone.
                    For the short sighted people, including this article author: look to the new infinity display, can you see a notch?

                        That would be wise of Samsung. They've mocked the notch too much in their ads. If they put the notch on their flagships... They'll get ridiculed. They're becoming Google. Pathetic.

                          No notch please. Notch is always ugly.

                            I look forward to see that "New Infinity" display phone. Could Samsung really be making the first truly bezel-less phone? If so, what happens to the front camera? It could be a pop-up mechanism like the Vivo Nex S (except more advanced, and with IP certification), or more preferably, it could be Under-Diplay, which would be an amazing feat to achieve.

                                    Damn notches. Want to make it a V, a U or an O notch still a symetrical thin bezels are much better. Why not just make a symetrical thin bezels for budget range and top bezel without chin for A series?

                                      I can't believe samsung's going to go with this notchs, i prefer teardrop notch than this.
                                      I'm a samsung user since galaxy s3 but this is like a joke to me.
                                      I can't understand what samsung plans.
