Looks like 2018 will be the year of notches for smartphones. Many manufactures are going by the 18:9 ratio display and very small bezels, trying to design a completely bezel-less phone. If the phones are bezel-less where would they place the front camera , sensors and the fingerprint reader. Well , the answer was to place the front camera and the sensors in a "Notch" , and the fingerprint sensor under the display. But not many of us like the notch, do we? Many android phones launched this year came with a notch , following the iPhone X.
Here's the shocking news , Nokia is also testing a phone with the notch too. According to the rumours coming from China , HMD Global has already begun the trail production of this bezel-less flagship , probably the one with the "penta-lens" setup , with a notch and a under-the-screen fingerprint reader. In addition to these the NOKIA logo has been shifted from the front side of the phone to the right side ( may be below the power button ) . This comes from a source which has been accurate in the past. There are a few more prototype units in the testing too, including a design without a notch. So the one with the notch might not end up as the final design.
Even Google has added native support for displays with a notch in the Android P developer preview. So we will be seeing many android phones with a notch this year. Let's hope Nokia is not one of them, unless their notch is not a distraction to the users.
