I find the punch hole is less distracting than the notch. For now, these are the only choices and we just have to overlook and deal with until something new comes out.
Got a tip for us?

It will take another few years, or maybe Apple will surprise us next year, but, I think it's too early for MicroLed.
Why is the camera hole so badly aligned?
At least Samsung figured out to align it right (altough it looks weird because of the unequal frame width)

I actually started liking the dual screen solution of the Vivo Next. Not only you get the same "selfie" camera as the main one you have (which will be the best on the phone), but you also get indeed a whole screen display. If Apple did something similar, with their patents for curving the screen, I believe it would look stunning. They will be the only one to have all screen phone without notch, chin etc.
But again, it's kinda uncomfortable having the second display on the other side of the phone, you could be pressing something by accident or idk.
The hole design is worse because:
- Unsymmetric, not good alignment
- no face id
- loudspeaker does not point into ear
- operating system: the notch „disappears“ because it blends with the status bar.
Why bother to make OLED TVs when you can just slap "QLED" on the box of an LCD and confuse people into buying it?

That's just silly -- no one likes the notch for it's own sake. The debate is simply whether it's the right compromise, understanding that some compromise must be made.
For whatever reason, the hole punch design really bothers me. Maybe it looks too much like a BB gun hole or something. It just looks wrong. Whereas the notch doesn’t bother me at all in Apple’s implementation. (The pixel 3 XL is another story...that notch is hideous).
There is a very good reason why US and Japanese governments have ditched using these phones and issued notices thus regarding Huawei & ZTE hardware. You have been warned.
What's good for the goose -

Why not move the “chin” to the top, stick the camera up there, and eliminate the hole entirely?
I think that is a cool design...but I think it would really get scratched. Plus i use an iRing or pop socket to hold my phone easily.
Does anyone saying this garbage believe the iPhoneX onward are fullscreen designs? And why does it even matter? FFS, get a grip people.
And what is this reason? The fact that US was caught spying on Huawei?

If camera placement supposed to be symmetrical? Then why iPhone rear camera placement is so bad?

Simple.
It's a mid range phone and it has an IPS display. You should do your homework.
From a holistic, rather than purely functional perspective you may see what I referenced.
Or not.
But if you’re going to have a chin, anyway, why not move it to the top, stick the camera in it, and get rid of the “hole?”
Exactly! No silly blending OLED which cost much more with little to no benefits. This is like the MacBook Touch Bar, it cost ( a lot ) more while offering no functional benefits to majority of the users.
This news thread has the same "problem" as the other Samsung jack thread.
That problem is seeing this from an Apple perspective where there is no choice and Apple's design is take it or leave it.
This is another middle of the range phone nobody will ear about, it isn't even a flagship or close Huawei device. This is a cheap phone, coolness, as in no chin all screen, costs some money.

That makes as much sense as saying that buying iPhones helps to bomb children in Yemen.
Mind boggling enough that an industry with billions going to R&D is still trying. This isn't an easy problem to solve. If it was, it would have been solved.
