Lollo, 13 Oct 2019Why they Don't just do a phone without selfie cam, personal... morevideo calls. i don't do selfies myself but i still need the front cameras for video calls.

    dsp4, 13 Oct 2019I'm #teampopup and wondering why nobody's doing no selfie-c... moreIm not sure about that. An average user (mostly females. no sexism, its just an observation and they do that) takes selfies x187 times they use NFC or wireless charging. Also, people think bluetooth earphones are superior solely because they are more expensive. This is for an average user tho, nıt people like you or me

      I don't understand, why took so long to come to this point. I thought about that , when notches first came in.

        Punch hole selfie camera
        Is good

          Finally some sensible new designs. Though the most sensible is the 4th design; just bring back the top bezel. You can put any combo of dual or triple camera, flash, notification light, face/iris scanner, extra speaker, or anything else.
          I can still live without front-facing camera though. I don't do selfies, hates video call, and still use the good old pattern lock only.

            truthfulshakib, 13 Oct 2019r8 bro i agree with youTwo of my friends and I have bought Xiaomi phones in the last two years (I live in NA where they are still uncommon). A Mi Mix 2S, Mi 8 and Mi 9T Pro. None of us have ever seen ads from Xiaomi. Meanwhile, Google has started shoving ads in the Google Discover feed (the news feed that appears when you slide left from the home screen). You're overblowing this and perpetuating false stereotypes. Xiaomi makes the best no-nonsense phones these days, by far.

              I'm #teampopup and wondering why nobody's doing no selfie-cam at all. I mean there are phones out there that ship without headphone jacks, without wireless charging, or without NFC, and these are arguably more useful than a front shooter.

                      They don't have anything to copy yet?
                      Or might be some display manufacturer have developed it and now they are implementing it.
                      Meanwhile i am laughing at my friends phone having unwanted ad content which can be seen just swiping up which we usually do on Pure Android phone.

                        Orange97, 13 Oct 2019The pop-up camera is the ultimate solution, IF they make it... moreNo, motorized camera is a flaw from the beginning. Reduce structural integrity, harden to make waterproof and/or dust proof,

                          S8 9.0, 13 Oct 2019Kinda uglyNot as ugly as a notched screen.

                            AverageUser, 13 Oct 2019Why not just have some bezel? S8 and S9 look just fine...Not just fine, elegant even. Make the top and bottom bezel thin enough to handle selfie cam and speaker and make it symmetrical. Its enough for me.

                                The pop-up camera is the ultimate solution, IF they make it pop-up in just only 0.1 second.

                                  the third design is best (bottom/left) but it can be one notch in middle , i have the idea of upper notch and wanted to show you gsmarena staff guys to make a post for it , to maybe make companies to make a phone with an upper middle notch which makes phone full-screen too

                                    This was my idea , an Upper notch , but mine was like upper / middle notch and the shape of phone will be like CAT S60 and CAT S61
