I liked my LG V10 for understanding that. They had a second display that was inline with the front facing sensors and it could be used to extend the normal display by dedicating all the notifications to the second display up above. It was brilliant.
Got a tip for us?

What an ugly phone. I thought the iPhone X was not that pretty when it was released, but man, it's a beauty. Especially compared to this phone...
I was sarcastic. Those curves on S9 serve no substantial purpose apart from distorting content.
"TouchID + the Hardware Home Button" is a FAR SUPERIOR combo product attribute than the newer Alternative !
The iPhone 8+ could go down in History as the last really good iPhone (esp in RED).
Time will tell.

Proponents of smartphones with physical keyboards were yelling similar words while their ship sank.
These notches are kinda like the 80's Mullet haircut; May be popular for a period of time, but will eventually go down in history as an awfull design solution.
The chin is there for the second front face stereo speaker. I'd take that over the downfiring secondary speaker iPhones have... that's as stupid as putting a charging port on the bottom of a mouse.

The chin is there because the manufacturing needed to bend the OLED is expensive. Google simply can't make that sort of investment and still be profitable, if this sells at all. Adding an entire chin to a phone just to move a speaker 1-2 mm when most people probably lay their phone flat during listening would be even dumber than the charging port you mention.

We're still here and that phone looks even worse than the iPhone as not only does it have a notch but it has a huge chin too!
I’m pretty sure Apple weren’t the first to include a notch on their phone but given the amount of people who seemingly dislike it you’d think the competition wouldn’t follow Apple’s designs and incorporate it into their own; instead try and mock Apple (like Samsung)?
If this is the real deal it’ll be interesting to see the comments come October...

Wow, that thing is ugly, you can't have a notch and a chin. It's either one or the other. This is epic fail IMO. Even the Pixel 2XL looks better than this scrambled pie
While I have never had that issue myself with the 8/9 series (the S6 and S7 Edge were absolutely god awful with distortion), the curved display does take a little adjustment when handling the phone naked due to touching the screen accidentally.
Even worse, this still has a chin

This claim cracks me up. It's not even all usable display and it sacrifices the structure of the phone.
