If only the iPhone XR had bezels as thin as the image on the right.

Huawei Launches New 'Honor View 20' Smartphone With 'Hole-Punch' Camera Cutout

The question that hasn't been asked: Does the hole punch camera incorporate a 3d face ID camera?
I'll take a small chin if I can get the rest of the bezels smaller. Besides doesn't hurt to have a little thicker bezel on the bottom as the majority of the time when using a phone I'm typing on it or at least holding it from the bottom. I try not to watch a lot of videos on a 5-6 inch screen. I can live without having my display perfectly symmetrical as well if I get more overall display.
People naturally position the phone based on the eyes of the person they are talking with. They have increased the distance between the lens and the other persons eyes which means the user will move the camera away from their face not towards it.
Hate the hole punch like camera. Looks like a huge dead pixel. I prefer the notch any day over it.
Which means you don’t want the ease and security of FaceID or the additional features it makes possible.
The distance of the camera is negligible. It’s like taking a picture of a person up close with the rear camera of an iPhone and having the person off centre just because the camera is positioned all the way to the left. Even less than 1 degree of rotation changes the way a camera points to.
Because this is the internet and there are people from many countries that read this forum!

far from perfect photo editing, but just to have an idea. I would go with the cut-out.
Will president Xi spy on me through the hole punch?
Those are not the same use cases. The front camera is inches from your face and the object of interest is different than what the lens is capturing. With the rear camera you are often feet away and you typically don’t want to look directly at the lens.
Nice piece of Chinese spy equipment there
Does it update my social credit score in real time, and sync with my Huawei Watch to monitor how healthy my organs are for the government wants to harvest them?

Apple did not remove the chin, they just added bezels all around .Big difference.
Because the internet consists of more than just the USA...
Because this is the WORLD WIDE web.
Since the iPhone X launched, no other company has been able to fold the display controller, thus all have a chin at the bottom. I guess Apple must have a patent on it?
The Nokia 808 PureView and Lumia 1020 had 41 megapixel sensors 6+ years ago.

I can tell you from using one that the Lumia 1020 took fantastic photos. Not DSLR-level, but very, very good nonetheless. It beat the pants of my iPhone 6.
