Companies think that Indians are so stupid that they are trying to sell their phone by depicting that the NOTCH is a Fucking FEATURE πŸ˜­πŸ˜–πŸ˜ πŸ˜‘.

    It is a feature?
    The notch m means your screen goes closer to the edge of the device...

    @dontbeevil in what way is extending the display beyond the usual point not a feature?
    It isn't a feature I want, clearly isn't a feature you want, but it is a feature, and it pushes technology.

    Well, a lot of people want their phones to look like iPhone X, so in a way, it is a "feature".

    πŸ˜…not all the indians. The ads are prolly targeted at the older and illiterate and non-techy people πŸ€”.

    @kayb01000010 Sure... let's pretend there isn't a shitload of idiots out there who want to follow "Apple trends", and let's pretend India isn't all about "looks over quality"... Come on, numbers say that less than 3% phones sold in India are actually iPhones, while phones similar to iPhone make up for about 35% sales. That number (30% - 40%) is roughly equivalent to iPhone sales percentage in EU and US.

    In conclusion: don't act like companies are trying to mock Indians, they're just selling what a large percentage of population wants, and the fact that you disagree with them doesn't make you smart.

    I'm not saying that makes me smart πŸ˜‚. I'm just saying that no one is buying phones with notches because they look apple-ish but the phones-with-notches are selling because its hard to find phones without a notch these days. πŸ˜…

    @kayb01000010 Then how come phones that look apple-ish sell as much as actual apple phones in other parts of the world, while Samsung and other non-apple-ish phones sell the same?

    so people just want anything that looks like apple no matter how hideous it is 😐😣.

    End of 2018 and people still act as if the notch is going into the screen instead of the screen going around it...

    I quite like the notch display actually, and would like Android app developers to start supporting it more. Sure there's notches where the notch area isn't very useful because the notch is so wide, but on my OnePlus 6T, I quite like the teardrop notch. It gives a lot of screen real estate that would otherwise be lost to bezels.

    of course the teardrop is better than the notches or bezels
  • 0
    @kayb01000010 But the teardrop notch *is* a notch itself. How is a notch better than a notch? I mean sure it's a better looking type of notch than the other notches, but it's most certainly a notch. That being said, other than this type of notch I'm not too fond of them either. Not for aesthetic reasons though, as especially on AMOLED displays, if you decide to disable the notch feature, it just turns pitch black and only the notifications & other status bar stuff get to reside there, making it seem like it's part of the bezel, with just some LED's underneath shining through.. difficult to explain but kind of like those older phone designs where the navigation buttons were actual touch buttons and they lit up when touched.. like the Samsung S3. But those notifications.. that is pretty much what I dislike about those big fat notches in other phones, I (and I'm sure pretty much everyone else too) has way more than the 2 or 3 notifications that these notch areas can contain. There's only so much that you can stuff in there.

    @dontbeevil well, these days it is not only Apple having the notch. Almost every major player in the smart phone business has one or several models with a notch.

    Plus, the notch doesn't disturb as much as people likes to talk negative about it.

    I think it's a feature. I like the notches..

    @Condor yeah I'm writing this from the 6t and I absolutely love it!

    @conorlburns high five fellow 6T user! πŸ™ Out of curiosity, which sku?
  • 1
    @Condor sorry what do you mean by sku? Is it stock keeping unit?
  • 1
    @Condor well I don't find it but I have the 6t with 8gigs of RAM and 128gb of storage in midnight black
  • 1
    @conorlburns it's like model variant of sorts. Here I went with the 8/256GB one, but in hindsight I might've been better off by saving a buck and going with the 8/128GB or even the 6/128GB sku as well. This one I bought mostly for futureproofing but at this point it seems a bit of an overkill to be honest :/ maybe it'll change in the future but for now - especially given that I already pull most of my content on my file server anyway - it really seems like I went a bit overboard with this one...

    @Condor futureproof it is like any op phone :)
    So many custom ROMs😍

    Did you mod yours already?

    I unlocked the bootloader right after I finished the setup and checked oem unlock xD (spares me the hassle when doing it later because it wipes the phone) and loaded TWRP, magisk and ElementalX.
  • 1
    @conorlburns Yeah, I also unlocked it, rooted it (with Magisk, and TWRP.. which for some reason doesn't persist.. little experience with those A/B recoveries here tbh but that might've been why) and debloated it straight away on the day it arrived, haha. Tried to compile their kernel source too but ran into some weird issues on my Arch builder LXC that I made earlier for that purpose.. might have to try again on a VM or a physical machine and perhaps poke at some other people who built it on Arch as well and apparently did at some point provide support on one of the OnePlus GitHub repo's issues (if you're curious, here's the link - https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/...). It'd sure be an interesting device to try chiming in with on the custom ROM builds! Perhaps even Ubuntu Touch :3

    @Condor thanks for the link will definitely look into this as i have an arch machine as my daily driver. And the a/b slots are just redundant backups when applying an ota update: if you are on a and run an ota it installs it on b and the boots you to b (vice versa).
