In most apps there is a huge grey bar anyways lmao
Have a 4a and don't even notice the hole punch anymore. But curious about trying this.
Where was this when the 3XL came out? Would have actually been useful then since it would just look like a 2XL with your status bar in the upper bezel.
Nacho Notch worked alright but still had issues
How about making the status bar transparent instead?
Apps have the ability to do this, but they must be designed to work that way and it can't just be enabled across the board.
Good, double cutout is still there.
Wait, but these cutout apk's have been on my phone ever since android 10....
Why are we just now getting them?
They added this new one to the existing ones.
This is official so no need for apk
What I need Google to do is thin out bezels on my Pixelbook go 💻chromebook i'm not worried about punch hole on my pixel phone 📱
Some end users were asking for this.
Solution: turn on normal navbar buttons so it's symmetrical.
I realise that hole punches are a stopgap towards fullscreen phones, but I've never seen anything wrong with small top and bottom bezels. They look fine and don't get in the way.
The bare is already huge anyway doesn't matter what colour it is
Google engineers are doing exactly the wrong thing. Looks like it's time to buy a refurbished iPhone.
It's optional meaning you can enable or not 😏 I will not be enabling it I like my punch hole
A real hardware company would have figured out how to fix the hole punch in hardware (not software).
by this definition a "real hardware company" doesn't exist.
Well, the phone I currently own has tiny bezels, no notch, and no punch hole. So, clearly, it's possible.
Care to guess which phone I own?
no
A niche phone that most people don't care about and won't buy?
You realise that the S8 and S9 existed and sold really well!?
OnePlus 7 Pro.
Sony experia? Rog phone? My phone has huge bezels but I like it. Moto Z2 Force
Now you have a huge black bar on the top of your screen 👍
