I used to use the hole or the pill, so I think I do not need UD front camera until the UD front camera show its the best quality.

    I dont know why people like the dynamic island, i am just being forced to interact with an annoying black oval space. Already not a fan of android's centre punch holes but this island is just a bigger version. Strangely, I seriously prefered the notch as well as corner punch holes. So sad they are all dying. I hate the front camera trends right now. Sign.. pleaase udc make some in roads.

You must be comparing numbers on a sheet between 2 completely different types of software.

          Anonymous, 11 Jan 2023Google is a major brand and yet Xiaomi is not? Last I check... moreYes Xiaomi does sell more but in specific markets. I'm from UK and in the city I live, I'm yet to find a single person that uses a Xiaomi phone but I'm seeing Pixels regularly, especially Pixel 6/6a. The Mix 4, which is the only model with UD they make, isn't even sold in UK, at least not on the official Xiaomi UK website and majority wont risk importing such expensive phone.

              Onanymaus, 11 Jan 2023Ahem, 2 generations of Samsung Folds have used UD front camera.True but only inside screen, when they will do the cover screen, and/or S series, then it will count. Also Samsung is still behind ZTE in terms of how well UD camera is hidden. Maybe Fold 5 will be it.

                      If they bring 120hz on base models in 2023, i believe their sale would jump + it's a freaking $700+ device! Wake up Apple, even $200 mid-range has 120hz.

                        Sooo how about an under display touch ID? Any takers? Also the 15 isn't even out and the article sorts to grab attention by posting rumors about the 16. Relax guys, it's a new year, you'll have plenty content, real content to talk about soon

                          Everyone can think the same. It will be a big news if iPhone 15 (esp. PRO) start UD Face ID.

This is shown by slow sales of 14 because of perception that it's not much different from the 13.

                                        I, for one, believe that the entire endeavour of notch/punch hole/dynamic island/under display camera has been 'much ado about nothing'. I could have easily lived with the extra 6-8mm (3-4mm on each side), or with slightly shorter display aspect ratio (say, 18.5:9 - 19:9 instead of 19.5:9 - 20:9) assuming the same form factor, if it had meant avoiding these ugly 'innovations'. Not to mention that one handed use becomes easier too with a little bit of bezels.
