- Apple's iPhone X from 2017 was one of the first major smartphones with a "notch," or a cut-out at the top center of the phone.
- Over a year later, most Android phones feature notches of their own.
- Notches are a compromise - a result of smartphone makers wanting to make edge-to-edge displays while also including front-facing cameras and sensors for facial recognition-based security systems.
- Samsung appears to have come up with a solution to the notch in its next phone, the Galaxy S10, which is rumored to feature an edge-to-edge display and a less-intrusive cut-out for the selfie camera.
