DarlingYext, 29 Aug 2023Yeah, and? It looks worse and outdated.I'd rather have the 'look worse' and 'outdated' cutout than wasted screen space.

            DarlingYext, 29 Aug 2023Yeah, they don't. End of story, nothing to argue about that.They take up the same amount of space, but unlike hole punches, there isn't useless screen space in between the cutout and bezel.

                        GSMarena, your specs page for this phone list it as having 4k video recording. However this is impossible as it uses the Snapdragon 695. Please correct your specs page and do a better job in future 👍

                          justasmile, 28 Aug 2023A small hole punch is a worse eyesore than the island?With this software implementation, of course.

Even the main rear camera of the V29e is better. Not to mention that the vivo actually has a proximity sensor, none of that virtual nonsense.

                                    Better software? That's subjective, I prefer FunTouch OS, as it's basically stock Android with no bloatware. (No, this phone isn't running Origin OS, because it's not China only.)

                                      DarlingYext, 28 Aug 2023Yeah, yeah, what exactly is better about it? The slower cha... moreYou do not realise that A34 has a better ultrawide cam (12mp not 8mp) and 1080p 60fps recording? Also better software as well.

                                        This is how iPhone handles it. A millimeter less content, but at least it’s not asymmetric.
