Yes, I said it. It's stupid. No reason for it. And all the other OEMs who followed it are stupid. Even on the Essential which had it BEFORE the iPhone X, it looks stupid.
It looks like a design screw-up, like the only reason was to "say" the screen is bigger.
I'm sorry, but screen shape integrity is more important to me. Nothing should ever cover up usable screen area. Period. I'm not as hung up on the size, or even the ratio, but all four edges have to remain intact.
While I'm at it - edge to edge screens - especially with curved edges - are also stupid.
I know - I have an S8. And the curved edges are a pain in the rear. Even with a case.
It's like usability and ergonomics has gone out the window for the sake of marketing blurbs. "Ooooh, look at what we can do now".
Sorry for the rant, but it was asked, and that's one of my buttons, and totally my own opinion.
