Makes me laugh how much Reddit goes on about the “notch” and cameras bugging them, I have never given it an ounce of thought watching videos or anything

Mountains out of molehills in this echo chamber

I know, right? I look at that portion of screen as extra space for notifications. I'm pretty happy if the video doesn't play in that band.

Yeah, I’ve gone from a bezel-less massive Samsung with a dot for a camera, to an iPhone SE, and even having huge bezels either side now hasn’t impacted me in the slightest! Like you say it’s notification world up there anyway!

I’ve seen people say it’s annoying during videos? I watch loads of videos on my phone and I’m never so deeply invested that a camera is make or break to the whole experience lol

It’s literally on the part of the screen where there’s deliberately no content.

95%+ of the time people stare at the center of the display

I just find it ugly. I’ll live with it on my phone, but will never buy a laptop with one.

A full display phone in the mini size I would probably pay for just because of the looks.

Me neither (ZenFone flip 8 so there's no fucking camera notch)

(Too bad the phone sucks as a phone)

It’s never bothered me, ever.

i hate how the notch looks on phones but it works well in practice because of where the notifications bar is.

macbooks however are starting to implement the notch too. please for the love of god do not put the fucking notch on windows laptops. macbooks have the top taskbar thing so it works but even then it makes it a lot fatter

For real. I'm actually upset I even clicked this post and wasted time reading about this

Well, for strange people who use a phone as their main device for content of all kinds i can see how a hole in said content can be infuriating. For the occasional yt vid i dont see any problem though. I also dont see the problem with thicker bezels either. Or with thicker phones in general.

I use my phone way more than my PC nowadays and it never bothered me personally

I still prefer the notch over any holepunchs. Holepunchs are just so stupid. That bit above the holepunch has no purpose just attach it to the top and save screen space

I have no idea what the difference is if I’m honest

Notch = cut out of the display but still attached to the bezel

Hole punch = a circle or pill shape cut out of the display near the top that doesn’t attach to the bezel (IMO is worse than a notch)

Oh that’s what my Samsung had , it didn’t bother me at all personally, it does look a little odd though I’ll agree with that side of things
