Wild Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 As someone who largely buys Apple products, that notch is the dumbest thing you steal from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing you’re only trying to crack AI and don’t have to deal with the heavy burden of notches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense, there are natural problems that are fun to try and solve, and there are problems forced upon you by other engineers that keep you from working on the problem you want to solve. The notch is the latter and I have very little patience for the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Too bad Samsung won't make a flat-screen phone out of the limited-availability Active variants, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Who cares about notches The rounded corners of the screen are more offensive IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the notch on the Pixel 3, Google is moving the clock in Android from the top-right to the top-left, and limiting you to three notification icons before it just goes into an overflow indicator. This is pretty bad considering that Android apps often have persistent notifications going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not unless you're an app whore that keeps tons of shit running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Will definitely be keeping an eye on this phone as it gets closer to release. I'm hoping to get a new phone in the next couple months and would definitely wait for this if it's worth it. And unless it's a total turd, it will almost certainly be worth it to me, as I love the stock Android experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
