MaxedOut, 17 Dec 2018Why does the screen protector even have to have a punched o... moreBecause some protective glass can cause refraction and the end picture wont be as good as a naked camera. Or just in case the protective glass gets a scratch or crack on the part that is covering the camera, the pictures will be worse.

          Walter C. Dornez, 17 Dec 2018They should make it smaller and put it in the middlerather, put it on the top left because when you're gaming usually this current alignment is where the pause button is placed during landscape mode.

            I will the upper 2 inches of the display was all holes in the display with not 1 but 2 selfie cam's (I like to look pretty in both portrait and wide angle as I'm a fat princess). Also, with the swiss cheese display I'd like the not 1 but 2 3d facial recognition systems for a failsafe unlocking experience. All while having the area with all the holes having a psychedelic active live paper while leaving the usable lower portion have a static wall paper. My dream device.
            Don't even need camera's on the back either, just a piece of aluminum inserted into the plastic to showcase the wireless charging coils.

              I was just comparing the S7, S8, and S9 using the sites comparitive analysis tool. And a thought occurred to me. After that i read the comments here, it seems like some people are not too fan of the hole design. And it feels like my thought could be valid.

              Why not samsung repeat the desing of the S8/S9?, but this time with four cameras on the back, 6GB RAM, 4000 mah battery capacity atleast and an in-display finger print reader. But only in 6 and 6.4 sizes! As these two sizes were not there in previous years.

              And name them S10 and S10 plus.

              These features will lead to massive differerntiation of S10, more than even the S9 was over the S8. I feel they should repeat the design as it is still amazing and still doesnt feel old or obsolete or boring compared to the hole or the rounded corner rectange camera hole design of the 5G S10 variant even though its been there since two years. It still doesnt feel any less novel as these designs. But there seems to be quite a few dislikers of the hole or the rectangle camera hole design. But very few of the S8/S9 series design. S9 series design particularly

              For 5.8, 6.2, and the 6.7 sizes they could continue doing what they plan to do. Round hole, rounded corner rectangle camera hole. As making all models with the S9 design could be risky. And call them galaxy o , o plus, o plus max or something. Or they could use other names.

              By using the amazing S9 design too, way they can hedge their bets better in terms of design. Apple did the same in 2017. Granted apple used two different designs not three. But samsung could use three. Why not? Of the phones that will be having the S9 series design, they can manufacture fewer of them at first, compared to S9s, and if the demand is good they can scale up production. I feel apple will use the notch design next year too. That will be three years in a row. I think samsung can use the S9 design for one more year too. How many years did all phone companies repeat their designs, until 2017?

              There is no other phone in the world with that design. And no phone will never have it. I feel it is worth repeating for one more year atleast, if not more.

                I dont get this design of putting a hole in the screen but not stick it to the corner of the screen. Why waste that space between the hole and the corner? Like having a notch separated by the upper frame.
                They did the small notch - the water-drop design, why not put that design completely in the corner, with no space in between?

                  Um, am I the only person confused about the hole in a screen protector... ? Why does a screen protector have a hole for a camera...? All my screen protectors cover the whole front of the device, cameras sensors and all - without the need for holes and cut outs... Am I missing something?

                    Why does the screen protector even have to have a punched out hole. it is clear and so could possibly sit on top of the camera anyway...

                      so ugly. worse than notch. pathetic.

                          Who wants a hole in their display? A discreet notch is much more preferable.

                                The article poster didn't even think that the hole in the protector doesn't have to be as the actual black punch out in the phone, since the lenses are very small on the front camera. The hole will probably as big as in the A8.
