Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us
LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’m whining cause I miss having bezels. Having a spot on the screen I can reliably touch that isn’t touchscreen was nice.
The notch is plain ugly and took away screen real estate for notifications and system icons. The pinprick ain’t too bad, don’t notice it much, but looks fuckbad on full-screen videos and games.

That’s the point – no it didn’t.

Last phone I owned genuinely did. It could only show like three notification icons before it was filled. The pin prick is better, but I want my bezels back.

I mean, yeah you can make all kinds of bad design choices. But a simple cutout like the Pixel works just fine – I even add a ring around it to see media/download progress, so it functions as a system icon itself.

Aight I have to admit, a progress ring around the camera is pretty cool. I still stand by my preference but that is undeniably cool and useful.
