25 November 2018
The selfie camera has been causing smartphone designers headaches as it obstructs their quest of slimming bezels down to nothing.

    As far as I'm concerned, they can also remove it and call that version of the phone a "pro", it seems like that's the trend nowadays

      Anonymous, 25 Nov 2018I would like to get rid of selfie camera on front to lower ... moreFront cam is not for selfie only but for video call and face unlock.

        Everything works fine but no to foldable devices. I hope that doesn't get trendy.

          I prefer the good old bezels. I can't believe our vote only came in 2nd place (for now). Why TF do they not want bezels?

            Both awful

              I much prefer cutout. So easily hidden due to it's small form.

                Zendroid, 25 Nov 201897% of the teens uses the front camera more than the back. ... moreThe selfie cam was useless to me until i got married ... lol .. even now when my wife's not with me selfie cam is useless

                  Camera in a hole is best looking of all, but what about other sensors? Does it means we cant get proper face recognition?

                    umeshk, 25 Nov 2018I really prefer small top bottom bezels which house the sen... moreIf there's a stereo front facing sprkr setup in those bezels nothing beats that!

                      I prefer to have some bezels, add as many things are possible there, it's better to have something to put your fingers when you watch a video in portrait mode.
                      For me the Note 9 bezels are perfect.

                        I prefer the old school bezel...especially when watching videos and stuff...all the other cutouts are really annoying

                          a reasonable bazel is always much better than any notch or holes or teardrops, functionally and visually

                              Da*n. Why is it so hard for them to make a small bezel phone. It looks better that way. Just look at nubia z18 mini or meizu 16. Or even the note 9 (but not the edge screen tho, that just horrible). The symmetrical small bezels is always better than a freaking notch with a chin that nobody fu*king want. Sigh. What a world I living in.

                                I really prefer small top bottom bezels which house the sensors and ear piece. Also bottom bezel should include fp sensor cum home button and navi keys. Best. Dont understand why ppl have wierd choices

For selfie and video calls. But yeah, a turntable power camera would be better. Just like the phones had before Apple.

                                    Bezels are the best. It also provides the possibility of a good silicone cover for the phone. They should either think better protection possibilities, or half the price for a more fragile product. But no. They only think about design and how to look great, till the first drop. B&o changed to that, Apple have always been like that. Screw quality! As long it looks great, sheeps will buy it. The future kids will never know what quality is, only know what look is.

                                      Where is the correct answer? The proper place for selfie camera is nowhere. Only narcissistic twits need one.

                                        I would like to get rid of selfie camera on front to lower cost of phone and maybe have higher grade camera on the back instead. The ratio I need front and back cameras is about 1/100.
