TwinIon Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Well, they are owned by Lenovo. I was hoping that the iPhone X would be an opportunity for the Android phone market to differentiate a little. The notch is ugly and particularly difficult to rationalize without Face ID. At this point it's pretty much just Samsung that haven't blindly followed Apple into a design that feels so easy to best. Especially since these copycat phones don't have Face ID, they don't need to put a ton of sensors at the top of the phone. Make that top part crazy thin or do something else interesting and you could probably make a better looking phone. I think my next phone will be the Pixel 3, and for the first time in awhile I won't be getting the XL. Without the stupid notch (which is enormous on the Pixel 3 XL), it's just a much nicer looking device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Man, of all the iPhone designs to rip off they go for the worst one. I'll have to cling to my SE until it completely dies at this point. Headphone Jack, TouchID over the face scanning, fits in my pocket, and no dumb notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup even LG jumped on the notch bandwagon when they had a superior phone without one (I just picked up the V35 ThinQ and love it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This probably doesn't need it's own thread, but Huawei got caught using a DSLR for their phone demo shots, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 A little off topic but my wife's iPhone 6 just died. I wasn't ready to give up my old Galaxy S5 but as we were shopping around we ended up with a buy a Pixel 2 XL get one free deal. I like it but I just don't find these newer phones exciting anymore. Having a better camera is about the only benefit for my daily use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
