For me I would have preferred if their careful consideration had lead them to use the smaller radius curves at the top of the notch for the bottom of it and corners of the display, ending up with more of an iPhone 5 look.and feel and making the status icons less crowded and awkward.
Got a tip for us?

Agreed.

For those of us who are now used to using the X, picking up those other phones feels antiquated.
Also, rounded corners at the top, but sharp 90 degree corners at the bottom? So many decisions about this phone are terrible. Google needs to hire some designers.
These aren't fake pictures, these are actual leaks.

It has an identity crisis
If it sells at all? LOL. Apple made a stupid decision by removing the headphone jack and people still bought it. Don't you worry, it WILL sell, the chin doesn't affect the phone's experience as much as the lack of a headphone jack.
Probably? You can't think of any scenario where someone would hold a phone and wanna have two front firing speakers? I've got a Sony XZ1 Compact that I absolutely love for audio... FOR THAT REASON.
Can we stop making phones taller and make it wide enough for adult hands?
At the launch event, Google will proudly exclaim: "And we even have a bigger notch than the iPhone!" [Insert huge applaud from the audience.]
Begun the notch wars have.
You know who still cares about a headphone jack in 2018? People that are still screaming for floppy drives in their iMac.
I can see the double notch happening next to phones with a chin. Yuck.
Visual appearance of phones seem to be trending to ugly today IMO. As a side note, I saw a naked iPhone 5s or SE today and was reminded of how beautiful that phone was. I then proceeded to remove my iPhone 7 from its case and was quickly put off by the camera wart.

They'll just bend over and take it in the rear from Google. That's what Android love is all about. It's true that Android users may have felt the notch was ugly, but they really just hated the iPhone for having a notch and that's an Apple hatred thing. They'll be able to overlook the notch now that it comes from Google. Many Android users will simply believe that Google invented the notched display.I know how some android fans detest the notch at the top, I wonder how they’re going to feel about having a notch and a CHIN at the bottom!!
If this was a Nexus branded phone the design would be wicked, because it would also be cracking value!
But this is a Pixel and will no doubt be very expensive, and at that level the design is incredibly poor, Google need to look around at the designs of premium phones because they don’t look like this!

Haha, the Pixel line sold 3.9M phones in 2017. No, they cannot afford it. You realize the Pixel doesn't have a headphone jack either, right? I am not sure what your point is there or why it was brought up.

I use mine every night with my headphones. Of course I don't use an iPhone because of that.
Oh, and I don't miss the Floppy or CD drive at all.
I reckon Apple invented the notch just to prove that competitors copy them.
