A recent patent application is suggesting that Google is going to replace the notch with an under-display front-facing camera in future Pixel phones.

Notch? I have the pixel 6 and its barely a small circle, don't even notice it because it fits perfectly in the upper bar.

A notch I would consider those ungastly iphone notches which take over 15% of your upper screen space.

I don't even know that it's there either.. please don't fuck up the selfie camera.

New features are going to get weird and pointless as smartphone sales continue to drop.

Why? I've yet to see one that doesn't look like shit.

[–] Epicmulch@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can we have it under display and not look like shit?

[–] ArtificialLink@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Images from the Samsung ones still look bad, not sure why we'd want this for like 1% more screen

Well, or seems like quality of selfies on Pixels will keep going down.

My 2XL is still unmatched to this day.

Pixel 3 was probably peek selfie, but I haven't owned one of those
