          One good thing that it doesn't have a camera bump the size of a phone.

            Screen cutout, second speaker beside usb port.
            Giant mistake.

              punch-hole, no front firing speakers,...
              I may consider a RM now

                  The design looks unappealing. Now there is a notch instead of full display in earlier models. Also the rear cameras are set too high, almost touching the top of the phone. Looks weird



                    While people won't be bothered by that O on top, that means front-facing speakers will not exist anymore... Unless they put two earpieces.

                      While people won't see that hole, that means there won't be front stereo speakers... Unless they put two earpieces.

                        A welcome change, most people won't be bothered by that hole anyway. But no more front-firing speakers...

                              Unfortunately it looks wack

                                  Might as well get a gaming laptop on sale for the price of this phone.

                                    Literally can play only Ningendo games properly, and even then phones can do it better than the official hardware.

                                      The problem with all gaming phones is an extremely short android update policy compared to mainstream flagships

                                        Looks interesting.
                                        I hope it's not just a visual update but brings more capable cameras as well.
                                        However, so few phones offer design changes nowadays, even cosmetic updates welcomed.
