If it can be made to work better, and the front facing camera, speaker/etc. are not compromised then it's good

The notch, this years No 1, must-have, silly gimmick.

For years I've sat looking at my phone and thought: "If only that top bezel was gone and the earpiece and sensors were instead cut out of the screen in an awkward way that most software won't account for. I've always wanted a touch screen device that has zero non-touch area to hold on to, I'd like to live on the edge and have unpredictable random touches from my palm and thumb when I'm just trying to read the news."
Thank you Asus, my dreams have come true.
I just don't see a reason for the notch... not to mention most 'images' we view on the screen are straight edged...
Samsung have managed to get a massive screen and all the cameras in without needing to compromise the screen shape and I wouldn't exactly say their tiny top and bottom border make it look bad, if anything I prefer the small border top and bottom.
Just because apple (well essential was first but this is all down to apple) does something doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Apple did it so they need to implement it to be "not behind" the apparent trendsetter.
It does make me laugh - if Apple has not set a new trend with their overpriced $1k masterpiece they would have been vilified... they do and get blasted anyhoo

Slow news day in the world of tech that this is a front page item.....
Saw the notch on the overpriced (imnsho) iPhone X and was totally underwhelmed. So I'm equally underwhelmed by this clutch of 'me too' Android phones. Still, I'll know it has become mainstream when Samsung do it

According to the list, all phones except the Asus' are Chinese phones that would have imitated anything Apple regurgitates anyway. I would not say 'the notch' it's a trend among major manufactures.
That means, There Are 11 Phones I will NEVER buy.
They are all very similar notches (bar one or two), that tells me there's one pacific manufacturer making the panel's !
If there cheap enough & performance is good I wouldn't look elsewhere.
