Anonymous, 31 Jul 2018Why should every model conform to your standard? We've had boring bezels for so many years; I... moreMy reasoning is simple. Because there's one optimal solution. It's like asking why do all cars have to have 4 wheels to be stable, when there are 3 wheeled cars also. It's why we have only one opposable thumb. The notch doesn't make sense, only as a stepping stone.
There is one straight path in phone design evolution, and all these sidetracking trends will die off.

The optimal design phone is full screen with slim bezels on all sides. No big or small notch. No chin. Those are a necessary step in evolution, but not one that will survive.
Fold-able displays/phones will change this path, and take it further. but till than we need time to see the evolutionary steps.

We've had boring bezels for so many years; I like that phones offer some variety now. Buy one of the many headband+chinstrap models on the market.

            Luxor, 30 Jul 2018Instead of a notch why not protrude the front cam above the phone like frog eye. Lol. The Phone will instantly become more prone to damages when it falls

                          the vision is broken, and they proud of it.

                          the notched waterfall is creative visual though

                                How about a notchless phone without a front camera? That's innovation ;)
