SOME people do, in real life, I've yet to see more than a handful of people actually doing video calls.
People are not all the same nor all doing the same thing, and if anything, many don't like video calls, and among those who like it, many don't want doing it on smartphones because of their small display.
Tablets are literally there for this purpose.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1254884/mobile-video-calling-reach-by-region/
"Overall, 38.5 percent of internet users worldwide reported making video calls using their mobile devices and smartphones in the examined period." -Nov 2, 2021
This DOES include tablets and how the pandemic FORCED many to do video calls, we are FAR from even half.

And it is only the tip of the iceberg here, there are tons of solutions that allow a phone without a front camera to do video calls.
From having a second display to the back to using things like this :

Or having a Bluetooth or USB camera.

So, NO, we don't NEED the selfie camera, if anything we will be much better without it, no more punch hole/notch, no more weird underdisplay camera solution, privacy improvement, saved cost, etc.

        But if there is one thing their already small display doesn't need is a hole in it, even less where the already too small, COMBINED, notification and status icon area is located.
        And what they need is privacy.

          In my opinion, they should switch to center punch hole camera design, side punch hole camera is very much boring

              Thin bezels are a sign of class and elite for phones. But I feel that they don't really matter as long as they are not too thick, and that they are symmetric. Take the Pixel 5, for example, it is fantastic although it has flat screen and reasonable bezels. Same goes for iPhones pre-12, save for that huge notch.

                Anonymous, 24 Dec 2021Wow so unique a hater that hates everything in existence!!No, I hate ONLY what is, or clearly will become, EXTREMELY invasive :
                "Is on almost all products despite as good or better alternative existing".
                And make it impossible for anyone looking for something else to find it.

                I defend rare things, even those that I don't like, and I am pro diversity, meaning a bit of EVERYTHING, (yes, this includes the punch hole) in the market, exactly like every other markets in the world.

                But an anonymous account against a rare feature (insert anything, but we will use 3.5mm Jack and SD card as an example here) but who defend stuffs that are trending or his own taste, THAT is the norm here, the norm that totally ruined this market and made it the mess that it currently is with non-senses like 2Mp sensors, curved edge on all flagships tiny batteries, poor software and updates, etc.

I personally like having bezels, it gives the phone/tablet room to grip, without them I would accidentally touch the sides of the screen and get frustrated quickly. I can only imagine bezeless screens being a very niche market like curved screens which is probably why android OEMs stick to the usual form factor

That doesn't mean laptops haven't adapted a final form of a lid with a screen hinged to a keyboard housing for the next several decades.

                                      That is precisely my point with smartphones. After they eliminate the punch hole, that'll be the final form for decades; such that a physical incarnation of the device in Expanse will feel disruptive. It'll not just be a smartphone; it'd be heralded like the OG iPhone was in 2007 in comparison to already existing smartphones like those running Nokia's late-gen Symbian OS.

                                        Looks like there's been some editing to the screen in the video, maybe evening out the bezels slightly for promo. Just doesn't look like it fits. Especially when he's scrolling.
