Just have to comment that for myself a notch would be a deal beaker for a new device. I've played with a couple devices and really think it adds no actual value while complicating the user interface. I will avoid it as long as I can.
- what_ever 8y agoHow does it complicate the UI for you?
- 51Cards 8y agoThis link displays it best: https://www.techradar.com/news/android-p-only-has-space-for-four-notifications-icons-to-make-you-hate-notches-even-more https://www.techradar.com/news/android-p-only-has-space-for-... In short there is a 4 notification icon limit now with the clock on the left, whether you have a notch or not. I often have a lot more than 4 notification icons up (esp since a couple are permanent from background apps) and the rest will just disappear under a dot-dot icon.
- Fnoord 8y agoWait. Everything has notch support, even if the device doesn't have a notch? That's odd, right? Given the notch is still an exception? Although they could make the status icons (top) tilt 90 degrees so they are usable from within landscape yet remain on their position
- 51Cards 8y agoYep, seems the compromises they have made for notches are global across all devices which to me is a UI mistake.
