ppczouz, 10 Dec 2018Wow, a whole new level of unintelligence.
Why punch a hole... moreDo you realize that mechanically there is a minimum distance required from the edges where the selfie camera needs to be ? Do you think the selfie camera is only what you see from that hole ? The module is actually much larger, so you cannot move the lens in the corner extremity. This phone has pixels where the notch has a black area, and those pixels can of course be used however the OS deems it necessary, that is not a dead area.

Sonu4678, 10 Dec 2018Jeez, Are you really complaining about fingerprint scanner ... moreCircular, not oval
There's a difference!
Jeez dude, even a kindergarten knows that!!
The next time you contradict a statement, at least make sure you truly understood everything first and didn't miss out even a single thing

Wow, a whole new level of unintelligence.
Why punch a hole instead of a notch? What use do the pixels above the hole have?
Why not move the hole all the way up and to the left and minimize screen intrusion?
With such a size, the status bar has to be higher, thus wasting tons of real estate instead of saving it.
And if Samsung doesn't implement a gesture nav solution, it will have a nav bar... Suddenly you're looking at software emulated 2017 A5.

Shanti Dope, 10 Dec 2018Good thing it has USB C and 3.5mm jack
Fingerprint Reader ... moreJeez, Are you really complaining about fingerprint scanner design!?
It has to be circular for obvious reasons, there is no way anyone can come up with an original design that works as great as this setup.

Yikes! The Teardrop Notch now makes a lot more sense after seeing this.
I'm guessing all the OEMs who went with the Teardrop Notch already tried/tested the hole ans realised it wasn't worth it.

Kiyasuriin, 10 Dec 2018I am truly disappointed. the HOLE is MUCH bigger than I ant... moreThis wasy first thought to! The hole is much larger than expected.
Hopefully the S10 and S10+ have a much smaller one, along with the Note10.

2018 and 2019 is the year of handicaped phone designers.... Notch and Hole. Stupid as it can be. Think I must stay with my s8+ one year more and hope that when the sales go down they will wake up and start to listen to people.

After mocking apples notch Samsung went and created something even uglier... The hole is worse than a waterdrop notch in every possible way - it doesn't blend in with the top bezel, doesn't fit in a standard notification bar and the lack of symmetry makes it extra ugly
