IMO the notch looks better than the S9 with an edge to edge screen but 2 black bars top and bottom.

- mikelward 9y agoThe essential phone's camera cutout looked cool in product shots. But the iPhone cutout seems too intrusive to me.
- throwahey 9y agoI was initially bothered, particularly with the rounded corners. However since the X has nearly the same size display as the plus phones, really the area that is rounded off is just extra pixels. I'm not missing out on anything by having rounded corners, or the notch, rather I am gaining the extra display area over the plus phones. That changed my attitude about it.
- shinratdr 9y agoThank you! I'm glad someone else has acknowledged this. Making a true edge-to-edge phone is impossible, and the notch IMO is the more aesthetically pleasing of the two options. The Pixel 2 is another great example. Supposed to be edge to edge, but just looks almost-there-but-not-quite in practice.
