Let me address everything on that -

1) It looks ugly - Maybe if you focus on it with the screen running a bright background. I've used the iPhone X and after minutes of usage, you start to ignore the notch. Hardly comes in your way. Plus, some apps are optimised for the notch, letting them put extra content in the extra space around it, like reading apps putting percentage read and stuff like that, on top, and not interfering with the rest of the content.

2) Smaller Bezels around are better, yes, but for how long? If you want to make a bezel-less phone, all companies have to take some steps in between, not wait for other companies to do it and this is on the way. And again, when you can disable the notch to make it look like bezels, this is not a problem anymore, unless they put stereo speakers or something, which they don't do anyway.

3) Everyone is blaming Apple for the notch, just cause they don't like it. What about other things that Android has "copied" like Quick Settings, App Permissions, Faster updates. Why not give Apple credit for those things too?

4) While the brighter themes are generally an iOS thing, and Android P is really bright, not all of it is iOS. Google has done a lot of functional additions to the OS that iOS can only dream of, and is in no way to be compared to iOS. Plus, the new Material design theme, as seen in the recently updated News app, is iOS like only in the matter that it's white and not too colourful. Apart from that, the rest of the functionalities are still very Android like.

5) Everyone will buy iPhones? Dream on, kid. I can definitely hear people saying "Yeah, sure. This $200 Android looks like it's based on iOS. Let me just buy the $1000 iPhone."

Feel free to reply.

I don't really mind it in all fairness. I usually keep my status bar icons and notifications to a minimum so there's usually a space there anyway. The only thing I don't really like is the size of it. If it was the same height as the current status bar then that would be perfect.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yippee38:
I'd like an option for, "I really don't care."
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCore:
I was going to say what [MENTION=4275131]Yippee38[/MENTION] said already, why you didn't add "Don't care/mind" option on your poll?

Put me in I don't mind/care category!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dima-82:
That's exactly my opinion.

I like the fingerprint sensor on my OP5 and on the OP3/OP3T.

A phone with an edge2edge screen is not really comfortable to use. Its not usable with one hand at all. And it causes problems with cases and protectors.

Why to create a notch and than hide it? This makes absolutely no sense. I dont care if essential or apple first did it. I dont like the notch on OnePlus. I loved the phones since I bought my first one (OPX)

I thing it is just marketing. It makes no sense to make the phones bigger and bigger, because they start getting unusable. So the trick is to have the biggest screen on the specs. Since we just measure from corner to corner, the easiest way to get the screen bigger is to have it edge2edge. Left and right was no problems. But top and bottom is a problem since we have the buttons, cam, mic, sensors, etc there.

So they removed the buttons, placed the fingerprint sensor on the back (where it is totally unusable for ME) and added a notch.

On specs the OP6 hast almost the same dimensions like the OP5, but the screen size went from 5.5" to 6.28". Guys, that's marketing, that's cheating.

Lets compare:

OP3/5: Display 5.5", 83,4cm², effectively used (if soft keys off) 83,4cm²

OP6: Display 6.28", 98,4cm² (wow! but -soft keys bar, -notch), effectively used: about 90-91cm² <- THATS NOT REALLY 6.28"

Correct me if my calculation is wrong.

Additionally the notch will cause software issues. And I can imagine its more expensive to create a display which is not a simple rectangle.

For sure I will skip the OP6 and hope for a "better" OP6T. If OnePlus does not listen to the customers they will loose them...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] raj7749:
skipping due to notch, hoping 6t notch less
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] charackthe:
Notch can be easily disguised. Not to mention phone can put a black overlay behind it out of the box, other software exist or will be made for us to eliminate the notch COMPLETELY, starting status bar right below the notch. But I have to be honest, notch with a black overlay looks just awesome and there is no reason to hate it. Literally no reason since you can hide it and forget about it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] maity-iman-2015:
Actually little bezel on top and bottom like samsung note 8 or s8 is useful while playing games, or dual front speakers like pixel 2xl is a useful option.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gohan040:
With the blackout option i see it as a second screen and my OCD doesn't get triggered anymore...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
About 2 months ago, I switched from the Pixel 2 XL to the iPhone X. My switch was mainly due to my business clients relying heavily on communication and file sharing apps that simply work better on IOS. Plus, after many years of being a pretty diehard Pixel/Nexus user, I was ready to try something different.

While I'm not a fan of IOS, I must say that the notch is not something that has ever bothered me with the X. Many reviewers have said that after the first day of use, you don't even notice it. I find that to be the truth. I don't see or think about the notch in my daily usage and I honestly forget it's there. Mainly because the area where the notch resides is typically a blank/unused spot for Android and IOS anyway.

With that said, I just sold my Pixel 2 XL and I plan on using some of that money to pickup a OnePlus 6 to toy around with. I anticipate that the notch won't bother me at all. I just can't believe they didn't include wireless charging. It's pretty baffling, actually. Aside from that, I like everything I'm seeing of the OnePlus 6.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] qwertyaas:
I like the extra screen real estate with it - similar to Essential. It's not like Apple was the first with a notch... But debating selling my 5T for a 6...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gauravdotme:
I like the notch

Not because of that weird back patch at the top but it allows OEMs to leverage the display panel to the fullest. It improves the display ratio.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
I just hate it for one reason - no more centre clock
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
Interesting results, I thought much less votes will be pro notch. It's not neck on neck, but still.

I've preordered my OnePlus6 on Amazon.

This year I plan to check back after my long sold OPO on where OnePlus is going, (besides my sure purchase of the HTC u12+).

Maybe even do a bit of development if it's meaningful. :)

I'm undecided yet on the notch. Will need the device in hand and used to make up my mind.

one plus 6 is really good, i love it
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Exactly, As I mentioned earlier, after switching to the iPhone X, I never even notice the notch and it has never once bothered me. I think you'll find that in normal usage you'll completely forget it's there.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nothing but Android:
I didn't have any problems with the "flat tire" with my moto360 1st gen, so I think the notch won't bother me either...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
maybe in stock roms, but if you use custom roms you'll probably use that area also. i always use it for centre clock and also date in status bar. also for this reason I'd never buy a phone with awful notch

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbm76:
When I saw photos of the phone, I thought it looked beautiful so the notch didn't bother me.

But then when I saw a review of the OP6 vs the S9+ and saw the phones next to each other I didn't quite like the notch as much for some reason.

Overall I think the phone still looks really good.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyronnster:
Well i originally didnt like the notch but after seeing in the flesh i am not bothered by it,

collect mine on tuesday from o2,

Cant wait
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdurrehman09:
why you might like notch and why you not

Notch is just a gimmick and so many people might just hate it. But it is possibly helping companies to increase the screen-to-body ratio, it has been reached up to 19:9 as the oneplus 6 has 19:9 ratio display. Some bloggers are specially working on this topic, they are even designing wallpapers fit to this ratio, here is an example (one blogger has created a collection of 19:9 ratio wallpapers):

If I am wrong on my information, please correct me.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] aryan.arora180:
I kinda dislike the notch, but the fact that we can blackout that area so that it doesn't remain prominent is good.

I am in the same boat. It doesn't bother me on iPhone X at all. On OnePlus 6 we even have the option to hide it which is great. Need to take a quick nap before unboxing my OnePlus 6. ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MajorCombover:
The notch is just the latest trend..

Its not the worst thing really, apart from the issues some apps may have with it to begin with.

Just need to get used to it, unless you want to go the Sammy route who I imagine will actively do their best to stay away from the notch.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] slonn:
Like it, cos it seems to have forced the clock to the left which is better than the right on the status bar. never understood why all icons had to be packed in on the right hand side...

i don't understand the hate for the notch, if we didn't have the notch we would have a smaller screen, people say this gives us less space but how? if we had no notch we would have the full bar which would mean the status bar would be lower and use more pixels.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
The screen is so big that I am barely noticing it on OnePlus 6. :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Juwapa:
I don't understand all the hate, honestly the notch doesn't bother me at all. The only thing that bothers me about the design of the OP6 is the rounded corners of the screen, which is inescapable, it seems, for new devices.

Its among the smallest notches out of all notches moreover nothing better is available right now. Coming from S8 the notch is a nice change for me. I dont mind it for now until something better comes. I heard Samsung is working on a all screen display.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] LOGMD:
I hated it until I used the phone, now I love that the status and notification icons are away from the main screen, with nav gestures on so it's a whole lot of screen.. I do wish the status bar options were better though. No battery percent no size reduction of the clock or turning it off to get more notifications

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spl4tt:
My problem with the notch is, when I set the lcd density down to have more content on the screen, the status bar also gets smaller. The notch then overlaps into the content, and it looks terrible.

Dealbreaker. And I'm not going with the standard density, that looks terrible, too.

I'm pretty sure the notch isn't going to bother me much, hiding the notch especially when rotating the device and watching videos is a good choice. Coming from a OP 5 the larger screen will be fantatstic.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jacdelad:
It's simple: You either like it or hide it via black statusbar background. Either way, you know what you get, don't buy this phone if you have a problem with it.

Week 1 - slightly irritated by it.

scratching my head if I really sold my 5t for this ridiculous design faux pas. it doesnt really help immersiveness .. you gain a bit by the sides, but you lose in the middle. but hey, gotta have the latest gadgets, right? ^^
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rokeno:
You know, if it wasn't there, you would've had a bezel for that entire part of the screen. Why don't just be grateful for the fact that everyone is trying to get the most of the screen?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] b.huss2:
I don't know for sure because i haven't received my OnePlus 6 yet, but I anticipate that the notch will bother me much less than the edge screen on this note 8 that I'm replacing. It's actually quite smart. Seems to me like a good place to tuck the notification bar and gain a little more screen space. The alternative is just waste the space with bezel....
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skiking73:
Honestly I think it's kind of cool. Just got my op6 today. The spot for notifications a little bit higher just looks good.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gheymann:
When I first saw the notch on the Essential phone then later on iPhone X, I thought it was ugly. It has grown on me. I've been pairing down my devices currently to my Oneplus 6 256 and my Note 8. When the new 6.5' iPhone Xi or whatever it's called gets released it will probably be the Oneplus and the new iPhone. I haven't owned an iPhone since the 6 plus but will keep a foot in each camp. I really like the Apple hardware, I just prefer Android to iOS.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheNetwork:
I'd answer no for any other device but on the OP6 the way they make it basically hidden and just for notifications/battery/time is really well done, and makes it seem a lot more functional than some stupid ass meme started by Crapple.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman478™:
My oneplus 6 arrived yesterday, at the first look i've said "wow" to the display, simply amazing, and i was forget that notch was there... It's really well done, i like it on oneplus 6 and the fact you can hide/show it as your prefer. And just to notice that Essential Phone was the first Notch phone not the iphone x, crapple have only call it "notch"
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harry44:
After getting the device my entire viewpoint on this has shifted. The notch is great. There is extra screen real estate due to the fact that signal indicators and notifications being punched up to basically the top of the phone. Most apps I have used handle the notch well. No doubt with Android P added native notch support, apps will improve.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] toyanucci:
I don't have an issue with the notch as a notch. My issue is because of the notch there's less space up there for status bar icons. I loved having network speed shown on my status bar, not there isn't enough space. I get quite a few notifications from different apps and after 3 notifications no other icons show on the status bar on the left.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlczl:
My OCD always drove me to keep my status bar/notification bar as clear as possible and to acknowledge any notifications asap so as to keep it clean. So much so, I use Nova launcher to toggle it away on my home screen. Reducing the amount of real estate it has because of the notch is actually a plus for me.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] russiandivxclub:
At first I was like "I don't really like it" after using the phone after couple of days I turned it off in settings. And today I actually went back. I actually do like it now. Can't really pin point why, I just do.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Neil_Armstrong_:
Notch isn't that big finally and it hides a 16mpx camera ;)

They could've added a bigger led notification though
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thunder_47:
I'm kinda torn between liking it or not liking it, because I have yet to figure out how to move the little notifications around (if that's even possible), like I would like to see the temperature next to the clock on the left side, but it always seems to get pushed out every time there is a new notification, especially since my music player seems to get "priority". The music player seems to be "stuck" at the front.

Funny how the poll is split (almost) perfectly with 50.51% vs 49.49%.

Initially I was thinking I'd not like the notch before I bought the OP6. I tend to keep very few icons in my status bar so it doesn't hide anything normally for me but I can see that in some cases it would be nice to see more than ... on the top right side. Besides that I can see that it does give the phone more surface area to work with and it doesn't bother me like I thought it would. Hopefully one day they will eventually figure out how to hide the speaker and camera behind the screen or something similar so smartphones will be completely screen. :)

I don't hate it, I don't particularly like the way it looks, but I love the extra screen real estate, and if that means there's a notch instead of a small bezel at the top, then I am glad it has a notch and not a bezel.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] InflatedTitan:
I like it.

I agree with the fella a few posts above. I rather a notch more than a bezel for sure. Once I had ample time to go through the app list, allowed certain apps to go fullscreen I'm loving it.

Being able to pick and choose which apps use the notch in fullscreen AND given the option to hide notch all together is great flexibility from OnePlus in my opinion.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BeakerBen:
It's fine. Obviously a completely bezelless phone would be better when the technology gets there, but it still looks pretty good IMHO. OnePlus in particular does a good job with a *small* notch, both horizontally and vertically. The chin is small enough that I don't notice it, and Apple's trick for the no chin with a flexible OLED doesn't seem worth the additional expense. I don't want a camera in the chin because it would make selfie positioning awkward.

Overall it seems like a good compromise, even if this probably wouldn't be happening without Apple.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viking84:
I wouldn't mind it so much if I were able to choose which notifications would show in which particular order. There's only space for 3 next to the clock, and I want temperature, whatsapp and SMS to be the ones showing (the 2 latter ones only if there are unread messages). Alas, they are showing pretty much randomly, and that sucks quite a lot.
