The notch was first introduced on the Essential Phone, not iPhone X. You've got your facts wrong.

Have hated the notch for years, but since the more hated punch holes become the trend, I started to accept notches (accept without like) as if I blacklist notches also, I may only have Sony left for me to choose.

Was only hated by fandroids, i.e. people who were never to buy an iphone anyway...
It actually sold a boatload and it was so succesful that *all* current iphones are built on its design (minimal bezels, notch, AMOLED). Keep on hating GSMArena, doesn't change history.

Alpha, 19 Sep 2021Do not Generalize, Samsung and most Chinese companies follo... moreI didn't meant Sony at all and didn't mentioned them, by ,,android" i strictly mean Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo and Huawei companies. Sorry for not clearing that.
Sony is actually few rares that i like because they're not following ,,trends".
So if someone says ,,android" they may not mean every of them :)
Even the article said ,,androids" so it's not just me.

Hmmm, 19 Sep 2021This is just from my own experience, so it may differ from ... moreBy ,,service" i meant apps and other, sorry i didn't make that clear. I don't like that they want to remove third part repair stores at all.

Oppo Find X3 Pro having downgraded cameras compared to Find X2 Pro but with same price. Mi 11 Ultra has worse camera performance compared to Mi 10 Ultra (watch TechTablets videos even iPhone 12 Pro Max he bashed last year beats it now). Realme and Vivo have no premium flagship.

AnonD-994853, 19 Sep 2021Why does people hate MIUI so much? Is it bad? Yes especially on Asian models running on Asian ROM. Lots of adware. Mi 11 Ultra getting stuck is definitely a joke, you can ask users and they’ll report this. Slightly better on global ROM

And apple is too reluctant to throw away notch probably because they are scared of losing the brand identity and looks like any phone out there. Customers are getting nothing out of this.

So instead of criticizing apple for removing headphonejacks, charger, etc you are mocking android oems for copying it. Well done.

Anonymous, 19 Sep 2021Mi 11 Ultra using USB 2.0? Wow this is certainly a shock.
... moreIt is a pervasive issue in tech media and the smartphone community, we hold Samsung and Apple to higher standards than their Chinese competition.
Apple doesn't care as they have a loyal fanbase. Samsung does not have that luxury and their sales consequently suffer--especially in the high-end segment.
The Mi 11 Ultra uses a mid-range standard found in the Galaxy A03s, still costs north of $1k several months after release, and the usual suspects act say nothing. If it were Samsung or Apple, we wouldn't hear the end of it.
