    Yep… everyone wants phablets. Apparently.

    I don’t mind the cutouts (if done right), they just sit in the notification bar, so they never obscure anything anyway. That’s a place Sony could have shaved off the extra height imo, the top and bottom bezels are pretty unnecessary.

    We are slowly moving to under-screen cameras now though.

      Nothing better than a selfie from a low angle, right?

        i think they mean “under” as in “behind”.

            Yes that’s exactly it. A camera under/behind the display. Not at the bottom of the screen aha (the bottom changes I guess too, depending on your phone rotation).

      i mean the bezels together are less than 1cm. and the notch takes space from notifications, with two sim cards and a vpn active that shit overflows instantly anyway.

        Fair, I suppose it depends on how the software handles it too. Personally I never let notifications stack up and the VPN for me is on the other side. I’d personally rather have the shorter phone and a cutout.

          vpn is on the right, yeah. but this is with just one sim:

          with two i get another signal strength and wifi calling symbol. it’s already collapsing them when not on the quick setting screen, which is very frustrating.

              Thanks, I didn’t know about this. Though it should just be default settings you can change… size, position, enabled/disabled. All pretty simple settings that should be provided.
