        make the front cam go away. Why cant people use the back camera? Cause they can't see themselves? All phones have a reflective back nowadays ;) You see, I dont take selfies ever...

          These phones with notches, punch holes don't listen to our consumers' voices, forcing us to accept these distracting, ugly ideas.

                Punch holes, various size and shape of cut-out (notches), pop-up camera and rotating camera are all shit. Selfi camera, speakers, sensors on top bezel and company logo along with mic at bottom bezel is what I expect. At least I can hold the phone on bezels with my two hands in landscape mode. How can I hold my phone in landscape mode in the absence of thin bezels?

                  To name a few. Features are being taken away. 1) fm radio, 2) headphone jack, 3) fingerprint scanner, 4) front facing speakers, 5) water resistance. And one comment that I read, take the front facing camera off the phones.

                      Thin lateral bezels to avoid palm touches and a minimal top bezel to acomodate led, sensors, speaker and whatever needed is the REAL GOOD solution that already existed, this bezel less crap absurdity is absolutely anti- functional!

                            What's really amazing is how fast Chinese OEMs can move from concept to prototype to product to 2nd gen product all in the same time Samsung copied one Apple design

                              IMO, its still better to have a bezel on top for whatever sensor they want to put there and at the bottom for multifunction FP scanner rather than having all screen-bezeless phone. you always accidentally pressed the wrong thing and its annoying. 0_o

                                  To me i would like and prefer phones as they was until now with sibnle or dual front camera on a basic bezel.
                                  It was great enough.
                                  Punch holes and notches are completely sin.
                                  Underdisplay camera should be solution but the first will be as good as Samsung galaxy fold which vent from huge sales to undergo many repairs.

                                        Bezels were not bad... displays under 6" with minimal bezels were more better than these notches..
