There is no notch, no waterdrop, it has bezels and it is an actual mirror. There is absolutely no other phone like this. Not even similar.

Anyway, the appearance of XZ Premium is also not "original" - usual brick, as others. And it shouldn't be "original", because it doesn't matter at all.

Bezel or flip-up camera for me. Imagine taking photos of the clouds without bending your back. A decent case would not work for the latter I would imagine.

Flip ups would be the best option IMO. Your selfie quality would be as good as your primary camera and you can capture wonderful panorama images. You cannot expect the best of both images and display in an underscreen camera design. They have to sacrifice either the quality of the image or the display in the process. I can imagine that the price increasing drastically with underscreen camera. Pretty sure Apple is going to charge $3000+ for their version.

Denis Thomas, 07 Jul 2019You obviously haven't seen a Sony Xperia XZ Premium in hand... moreI don't care about presence or absence of front-facing cameras.
And you didn't answer my questions about why so-called "originality" matters at all.
XZ Premium has nothing original. Maybe except useless UHD display - well, it is the kind of unpractical "originality" that smartphones don't need.

yeah except you forgot to put an option in the poll... standard "forehead" gives you room for decent front-facing speaker and cameras, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

DukeOfDoom, 07 Jul 2019no idea where this is going °_°I think it's stupid to remove features on a phone like water resistance and headphone jack. But that's just me because my phone has both features.
But what do I know? His phone is better without a headphone jack neither water resistance.
Apparently it's smart now to have less features than previous models. And it's smart to buy the new model, even though it is worse with less features than the previous one.
So I guess I'm stupid for having everything.

The article says;
"Actually, flip-up cameras lost to the pop-up and notch designs, despite providing much better image quality than both"
That's not true flip up got 786 votes, notch got 777

And Just because you don't use a front facing camera, 98% of users do at some point. So the minority is irrelevant.

I have never been a fan of 'killing all bezels'. It's stupid. The ZTE Axon 7 was the best design in the smartphone world. Literally an updated version of it with a 5,500mAH+ battery, tri camera rear, dual front cameras, cooling solution, latest processor, 6"; 16:9 ratio; 2K/4K screen with 90Hz refresh rate, MIL-STD-G rating, 32-bit DAC, 6/8GB RAM, and expandable 128GB ROM would literally do the trick...
...but with companies dictating that bezels are bad, we'll never get a phone like that.
