It looks like the smartphone notch is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future.
Almost every premium smartphone now comes with a notch design, which was first introduced with the Essential Phone in 2017 - yep, the iPhone X was actually the second phone to feature a notch.
After the iPhone X was released, it seemed like a free-for-all where nearly every smartphone maker adopted the notch. Samsung is a notable holdout against the notched design, and companies like Vivo have innovated to go notch-less by creating phones with popout cameras instead of putting them on the display.
Either way, not every smartphone notch is created equally.
