    The notch is plain ugly and took away screen real estate for notifications and system icons.

    That’s the point – no it didn’t.

      Last phone I owned genuinely did. It could only show like three notification icons before it was filled. The pin prick is better, but I want my bezels back.

        I mean, yeah you can make all kinds of bad design choices. But a simple cutout like the Pixel works just fine – I even add a ring around it to see media/download progress, so it functions as a system icon itself.

          Aight I have to admit, a progress ring around the camera is pretty cool. I still stand by my preference but that is undeniably cool and useful.
