You forgot the under -display camera, where the screen is completely viewable and creates a black circle around the camera when you turn it on. But I guess that's not a cutout anyways...
I think the hole punch in the corner is the best option. Because when you're watching content, a part of it is obstructed if the hole punch is in the middle. But usually games or content dont have something important in the corners. And I really wish phones would bring back the dual selfie cameras. I think the wide angle camera is really important for selfies.
@PercyJacksonkidit would be, imagine always not looking straight into the camera because the cameras angle is off. Plus the perfectionist in me hates how the camera isn’t symmetrical
Fun fact: the infinity v shape is mostly used in budget smart phones. An example for this can be the oppo a18 And you didn't include one manufacturer, sony. They dont have a notch, just a plain display with a great viewing experience
Guys, bezels ARENT as bad as you think, you don’t need anything bigger than the iPhone 6 screen dudes, it had bezels to be easier to hold, why you think iPads kept it for so long?, and it gives a place to house things without taking screen space
I agree. I think if they just trimmed down the old bezels to be a bit thinner it would've looked just fine, and they would've been able to keep the home button. It's a shame when companies choose form over function.
Fr, and Galaxy S8/S9 had the best bezels followed by the good old iPhone bezels, modern phones are all bezel less now but they are much harder to hold and use and can be a pain especially with bigger phones
With bezels, we didn't have to worry about any screen-real-estate intrusion. And let's say that, to balance the impact of the top bezel, they employed a bottom bezel, and that really helped housing essential peripherals like charging port, microphone, speaker and headphone port. (But actually it's the other way around.)
I miss the bezels so much. 16:9 was perfect and your thumb could reach the top. It just got worse after the bezels were no more. Everything is too big, too heavy and too much unnecessary screen.
Watching this from my notchless Sony Xperia 1V. Yes it has bezels, but man nothing like this 21:9 aspect ratio display with front facing stereo speakers for a multimedia experience. For me the "future" was under display tech, but the results so far have been underwhelming.. hopefully this tech improved and there will be no compromises in display or sensors quality. In the meantime, long live uninterrupted displays!
I'm pretty sure that Huawei had a pill shaped hole-punch long time before Apple. Apple didn't revive it, just added a feature that isn't really all that useful.
You've forgot to mention the hibrid solutions like having the camera cutout visible but also hiding other sensors next to it under the screen. That way the dot cutout doesn't have to compromise sensors but is still cheaper than hiding the camera under the display as well.
7:21 Ah, yeah, innovation by putting controls to the worst spot possible, like why not controlling clocks or music by tapping on the screen area that lies criminally close to the selfie camera?
@Patrik-l8x idk, tried using it on 14 pro max and it's just unusable one handed. Moved back to pixels even though they have much worse hardware, software experience is just better for using with one hand since I can just interact with most of the stuff apple put in the dynamic island from notifications section I can open with just one swipe on the home screen
@@proudhrvat im just used to big phones. Iphone 7 plus, XS Max, Pixel 6, 14 pro max and now goo-goo pee-pee 9 pro xl. Big screen is easier to read and i read a lot of text on my phone
@@montenegrofeesI am using the 16 Pro right now (which is 0.2 inches bigger than the 14 Pro), and I don’t struggle to reach the dynamic island with one hand .-. Idk maybe I have big hands
Apple didn’t invent the pill shape but they claim they did als they didn’t come up with the Dynamic Island feature bc honor made concepts of it before them
Centred hole punch is most ideal. Minimal space take up, the space is being used anyways for clock, status icons and notifications. Avoids the moving parts of motorized cameras or blurriness of under-displays. Only times when it's an issue is full sized uses, when most photo and video aspect ratios lead to black bars anyways.
Fun fact everyone thinks that dynamic island is a original idea off apple Well Ur wrong the idea is originally belonge to android phones in 2015 2020 honor
Idk if i can speaking considering the only iPhones I've ever had was an iPhone 4s and 6s but i will say that the bezels make the phone look so much more better. Idk what it is bro, the bezels just give it that nice look, especially the white.
Actually hole bunch and a teardrop has proximity sensor speakers and a light sensor for automatic screens brightness they built into a small bezel at top or literally underneath the amoled pixels so it isn't just camera but yes only lacking is 3d Face id but with investment I think that could be worked out but most manufacturers just opted for touch id what i prefer my self.
face recognition on a phone doesn’t really make much sense for me. On a laptop, you open it at eye level and the camera looks straight at your face and unlocks the computer, pretty easy. On a phone, you have to hold it to use it to begin with, which means your fingers can very conveniently interact with a fingerprint sensor. With facial recognition, you have to lift up the phone to your face to unlock it, which adds just that little bit of unnecessary overhead. A person looks at a computer from a distance at eye level, and picks up and holds the phone. I feel like apple got it the wrong way round removing touch ID from phones while not adding face ID to macs.
That's because they don't have face id. I rather face id than a full screen display anyways any day of the week. Also Dynamic island is also really useful for me.
Bro not gonna lie, Apple did the most clever thing ever on an iPhone, instead of just being there and literally kinda covers the whole screen on top of it, not like a punch hole that leave more space for the screen. Why not make it interactable? Which is why Dynamic Island exist, it's able to display alerts and more now.
I've used v-shape, pill shape and single camera punch hole all in the past 6 months, all with comparable sized phones. And as someone who doesn't use my phone for watching movies and stuff all too much, I prefer the pill
I love the Dynamic Island the most 😍 While I’m here, a common thing that makes me want to switch to iPhone from Android is the fragmentation of features, even within a phone manufacturer. You can really see this when it comes to making the camera cutout integrate the software. There’s comments saying that such software is on x device manufacturer, but I don’t have it. I don’t really like to install software that has all these customisation (also includes Home Screen app icons too). iPhones have all these features right out of the box. I really love their hardware and software integration especially with the Dynamic Island _end of rant_
It's simple. If you are bad with tech, you get an iPhone. It is extremely easy to learn and use. It limits everything, treats you like a toddler so its safer overall. But if you know what you're doing, you get an Android.
I my self own two phones one is Xiaomi 13 lite that has pill shaped cutout with depth camera and front camera and second phone is Redmi note 13 that has hole punch i personally really like the motorised pop-up cus i don't really use frontal camera and i just find the pop-up action quite interesting
I mean it's not a cutout but the under screen camera would've been a cool thing to see. Seeing as not only Samsung did it on their folds but also Red magic does it on their gaming phones. They even now found a way to not have to use two separate displays but have the display in front of the camera be the same as the rest of the screen, which is mind blowing. One of the biggest problems is still camera quality and colors and lights being washed out due to the pixels of the screen interfering with the camera lens
A design of a camera cutout that i like is the underdisplay camera That type of cutout is used in redmagic phones And it dosen't affect at all and give a very imersive way to game and use the phone
I upgraded from an 8 Plus to a 15 so I wound up skipping the notch era but I’m so glad I went with the 15 instead of the 14 like I originally planned. I love the Dynamic Island, it feels like things are so much easier to gain access to when needed.
I have a iPhone 16 plus with the Dynamic Island and a Samsung s22plus with the punch hole. I like the apple island a lot and it has its uses. The hole punch is minimal and does what it needs to do.
My Redmi Note 8 Pro has ambience light sensor, microphone and speaker though, that's the most crucial parts since android doesn't use faceID stuff here mostly
An important thing to mention is that, especially pre 2020, Android manufacturers made up for the teardrop-style notch and hole punch's downsides by having uneven bezels, usually putting other sensors like proximity and light sensors in a thicker top bezel or on the "chin". Apple wanted for all the bezels to be even, so they opted for the full notch instead. I think instead of looking at it from a "it cuts into the screen" angle, it's better to look at it from a "the display can extend past the bezel around the sensors" perspective, since you still got the same or more active screen area than previous models.
A hole punch with Dynamic Island software would be cool
Honor have phones that uses the hole punch design and also support dynamic island (honor magic capsule)
no it would not. Dynamic island is apple trying to hide a hardware limitation. only fools think it's a feature
I think thats what apple did, they use several hole punch and used a digital pill shape, not noticable due to the fact it uses a OLED screen
Oneplus, oppo, xiaomi, and honor has the dynamic island
I use DynamicSpot app on my pixel 6 for dynamic notifications
You forgot the under -display camera, where the screen is completely viewable and creates a black circle around the camera when you turn it on. But I guess that's not a cutout anyways...

@@Luigi_bros4321 its under the screen and its invisible

I was just thinking about it
Yeah, like the hidden selfie camera on the more recent Galaxy Folds. I wonder how far they can get with that tech?
this video is about camera cutout, pop up camera cant be considered a cutout, but under display is technically a cutout

Oh that’s a good idea, imagine having a cutout in each top corner!!!
The top left hole punch is the best location if you like to watch movies as you barely noticed it due to black bars
no. topright would be the best or even top middle. the same plus for movies but better for horizontal

I've still got bezels. No regrets getting a Sony Xperia.
without bezels, mistouch are rampant

I like the hole punch cut out one
The first cutout was on the Essential PH-1, not the iPhone X
it was the iphone
@ Essential Phone was released in August 2017, 3 months before the X (Nov 3, 2017)
I miss the bezels so much. 16:9 was perfect and your thumb could reach the top. It just got worse after the bezels were no more. Everything is too big, too heavy and too much unnecessary screen.
For real
2:1 or 3:2 is the best ratio
Wth
True.
Not for me I hated the massive bezels
The way the galaxy s8 and s9 did it was the best because it looked sleek and not to obtrusive. The hole punch is fine though
it's amazing how such a small creator can make such good videos, keep going one day you will become big
On 1:22, it has Saunalahti, which is Finnish. I was not expecting that!
I loved popup cameras, Uninterrupted screen + privacy. But the hole punch/pill are the most practical ones
Forget to explain,
1. In display Cameras (no notch)
2. Pop-up Cameras (also no Notch)
tbh when the 14 pro was unveiled, I was like yo, "that's genius". it turns once dead space into something actually practical.

Others try to minimize their cutoff as much as they can, Apple innovated the dynamic island to be a functioning feature, convenient to use.
There was one with triple hole punch camera
Teardrop notch and hole punch cutout is most common ❤😂
Especially on android
dalbaeb notch is goated
An important thing to mention is that, especially pre 2020, Android manufacturers made up for the teardrop-style notch and hole punch's downsides by having uneven bezels, usually putting other sensors like proximity and light sensors in a thicker top bezel or on the "chin". Apple wanted for all the bezels to be even, so they opted for the full notch instead.
I think instead of looking at it from a "it cuts into the screen" angle, it's better to look at it from a "the display can extend past the bezel around the sensors" perspective, since you still got the same or more active screen area than previous models.
I prefer slim bezel like SONY Xperia phones
