What makes you feel that way?I enjoy the peace of mind and lack of a notch on my screen. It's designed and advertised as a feature, not an oversight.
That's a horrible eye-sore; probably would have been better to make the entire phone thicker.
make every laptop look the same with a huge notch even if its not strictly necessary...?
It's better than Apple's notch.
The essential phone's camera cutout looked cool in product shots. But the iPhone cutout seems too intrusive to me.
Obviously it looks like a notch, but I don't know why it's not viewed as 2 extra tabs of screen that would otherwise be bezel.
Maybe they mean that there's no notch/punch hole?
I'd like the notch more if it were less than half the width of the screen
Obviously it draws attention away from the notch! /s
The notch is a design tradeoff, not a gimmick.
