It had to happen: Android phone makers are adopting the iPhone X’s notch.
One of the first major manufacturers to do it is Asus, whose ZenFone 5 is a dead ringer for Apple’s flagship, with a notch on the top bezel that hides the selfie camera, sensors, and speaker.
There are differences, of course: With a 6.2-inch screen, the ZenFone 5 is larger than the iPhone X. Its notch is a bit narrower, and its bottom bezels is a bit bigger than the one on the iPhone X (there’s no fingerprint sensor there, though — it resides on the other side of the phone). Read more…

Ok “notch”-haters of the world, you win: Apple has approved an app to get rid of the dreaded notch on the iPhone X.
Spotted by The Verge, Axiem Systems’ “Notch Remover” app will transform the notch — that pesky rounded black cutout at the top of the iPhone X screen — into a more palatable straight bar that runs across the top of the device. With the app, that bar will appear on the iPhone X’s home and lock screens.
The app works by masking the notch, not getting rid of it entirely. It alters the phone’s wallpaper, letting the notch blend into the single bar rather than stand out against whatever picture of your dog or latest vacation serves as your wallpaper. Read more…

I had an epiphany the other day.
I was finalizing my review of LG V30, which would be my third review of a “bezel-less” phone in a row. And as I struggled to find the words to describe the V30’s design, which is so similar to all the other big-screened Android flagships that came out lately, I finally realized that the iPhone X’s “notch” is not only a good design choice — it’s a necessary one.
With the notch, the iPhone X has one extremely important advantage over most other flagship smartphones: It’s different.

Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t like the notch. I’d still prefer the iPhone X without it — the idea of a phone that’s essentially just a screen is so wonderfully futuristic that I’d be the first in line to buy one (I’ll actually be the first in line to buy the iPhone X anyway, but that’s because it’s kinda my job).
