You can call it a notch blocking part of the display, or you can call it added ears to the bezel to extend the display (which is what it really is).
Totally nailed it with that comment, that's EXACTLY what the notch is!

Why don't you just install FreeBSD on your phone while you're at it?They're not comparable though. The iPhone X is more like an iPod with calling capability while the Galaxy S9 is more of a universal all-in-one computer, gaming console, etc. replacement.
The $1K iPhone X can't even maintain a SSH session in the background that even a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero SBC can do.
The S8 came out before the iPhone X so I'm not sure what you are saying. The S9 is basically the exact same design except the fingerprint sensor moved.Apple makes better-looking phones a whole year before Samsung. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

"But who makes the most profitable smart phone?"
Besides, don't worry, $1000 is only a stepping-stone price. This year we probably see $1200, next $1500. The "payment plan" push makes it easy to make "only $8.XX more" work at a flagship price of $2000 if one tacks on enough time. Think car company advertising where the price to own is no longer acceptable (to many), so the lease deals just squeeze and squeeze the terms to keep a monthly payment in some goldilocks zone. Hmmmm.... iPhone lease deals next?
For car buyers, the terms used to be 36 or 48 months. Now they hang at 72 months and should shift on to 84 and 96 soon... again to fit a payment into a "goldilocks" zone so that prices can keep right on going up and up.
Place your bets: do we see the iPhone 36 and 48-month terms with the next flagship or the one after that?
The pricing is too close to the $1000 mark, if Samsung priced the S9 at $500, then the quoted statement would have any validity. S9 is an expensive phone just like the iPhone X, no two ways about it.All jokes aside, pricing on those phones is where it needs to be. Apple can learn a thing or two from that. But of course, margins.

Not sure why so many are uninformed about how much simpler Android is, while having more functionality. Shrugs

The Verge review is spot on, I just couldn’t stop laughing .
You think $720 is the same as $1,000?The pricing is too close to the $1000 mark, if Samsung priced the S9 at $500, then the quoted statement would have any validity. S9 is an expensive phone just like the iPhone X, no two ways about it.

These phones are perfect match for those people who buy a car just because "it looks good and has a good stereo", when the parts that make it be a car are junk.
Samsung phones are just a cheaper alternative to the iPhone. Just like buying gold plated jewelry instead of solid gold jewelery.
iOS is like a golf cart compared to Android which is like a Tesla in comparison. iOS has fewer features but isn't easier while Android has more smarter features while being more intuitive. For example, the retirees next door come to me for help with updating iOS on their iPhone since the option is burried unintuitively deep compared to Android which is like 3 easy taps.
Claiming that the Samsung S9 looks better than the iPhone X means knowing absolutely nothing about industrial design.
Heck, even the iPhone 6 looks better, if a bit “vintage”.
Samsung hasn’t been able to line up the ports and screws at the bottom of the device. And those bezels have different sizes... ugh!
Good design is in the details too.
Any site with a good camera review?
I can never think of these phones as anything more than counterfeits that cost the same as the original. It is mystifying to me why anybody would buy one.
Right, because a bunch of Apple bought shills matter. Lol
Like the notch,bendgate and attenagate?
Agreed. I just cant stand the touchwiz UI.. I hate that so much - even if someone gives me a samsung for free, I won't take it..If I want an android phone, i'll get a pixel 2 for sure. So how good their hardware is, it doesn't matter to me.
My thoughts exactly. If I were on the market for an Android phone, I wouldn't consider anything other than a Pixel device.
