Patents mean nothing. Doesn't mean for 1 second this will become reality. I can't remember who but the patent was 'leaked' with the exact same design for a different manufacturer a few months ago. They just file for patents just in case. Samsung have got several patents for folding phones as well so this isn't a surprise.
"Reverse notch" so, basically you stuff things in a bezel, like it was done for a decade already. LOL
AlienKiss, 16 Oct 2019Everyone was making fun of Sony for having bezels, but now everyone's drooling over a little b... moreWhat is really needed is a deeper UI thing, to have the UI handle that part of the display surface is display ONLY, and touch inactive - this could also make the huge phablets back to phones, as being one hand operable while keeping a secure grip and NOT have a large black border as the current 'fix' for one handed operation by Samsung and others...
Until then we need (coarse) touch sensors at the sides (and back?), that can detect how the device is currently being held, and then have firmware ignore display touch in holding areas. This is not an ideal solution. but would help a lot without altering the UI-guidelines of the OS.
I mean it makes logical sense that IF we want to interact with the (edge of the) screen where we are currently holding, we will have to adjust the grip to hold somewhere else, and then interact. Not ideal but tolerable, and certainly better than accidental interactions.
infinite loop...
One step forward one step back, parhaps just loose the selfie camera all together? It'd be no bad thing.
Just when you thought phones couldn't get any uglier...
They should leave s8 bezells or little bit thinner and try something to downgrade bezels

I'll be more than happy to have some bezel instead of all screen with notch or motorized pop-up or rotating mechanism.
P.S There are people who still think the new Pixel 4/4 XL is ugly because of the bezel.
They could've just bring back the "classic" infinity display from S and Note 8 and 9. This design is rather ridiculous.

LoL, it's not a notch, because it's not a crop in the screen. It's normal screen display with eaten corners.

Using S8+ which has small bezels and I have to say that it is a nightmare to use in landscape mode.
When Want Output, But You don't have Any Idea😂🤣
This would've been a good alternative to normal notches but with under display cameras right around the corner I don't see the point.
Omfg🤦♂️
that's gonna be darn ugly as shit!!!
STOP WITH THIS BULLSH*T PLEASE.
Just put the damned camera back into top bezel. Nobody wants any of this. Sadly only Google realizes this with their Pixel devices. Everyone else is trying to fix what's not broken.
Ugly is an understatement
