(a notch either on the front or back, top/bottom/side would still just be a "notch")

Would be more natural with a soft arc side to side. Oh wait, we got that ten years ago....
Retro!

It's not that bad looking to me I bet the reverse notch is a slider that can slide up when you need the front facing cameras.

Why not just make the top bezel a little thicker to house the camera? Problem solved.

Although the reverse notch might look OK on a laptop (Asus Zenbook S13 - where they stole the idea from), it surely looks stupid and ugly on a phone.
Then again, if they stretch it along the top it will look much better - but that's Sony isn't it?

Just like a noob playing tetris.
The block keep growing longer, once you reach the top, game over.

: Hey Xiaomi why don't you extend the reverse-notch right across the entire top of the phone so it doesn't look so bad. Oh wait nevermind, that's a bezel ! Lol...

Whackcar, 25 Apr 2019A far better design than that is the one ZTE has visualized... moreThey're just as bad. Moving parts is a no-no, but so are protrusions. I hate notches as much as most other people do, but if these are the answers they're giving us, I would rather take the notch or the hole-punch display.

What Xiaomi has patented is just downright distasteful.
