Cause of the space all around it as opposed to it just being on the edge. It really stands out. It’s like someone smeared some dog crap on the screen. I just wanna wipe it off.Personally don't see how this would be much more annoying than the notch it might be a bit lower but it's smaller. I don't watch a lot of video on my phone so not much of a concern for me, but if you do then an Android phone probably provides the best experience for that technically vs and iphone with a notch or pill.
