All Android phones (with notches) have notches in addition to an ugly chin. The lack of other bezels is what made the notch on iPhone X acceptable (to me, at least). The thought of a notch with a chin (or worse, a forehead, or both) is frankly irritating. Xiaomi probably did the best job building a near bezel less phone with their Mix lineup — except for the front camera. If Android phone vendors can’t work an iPhone X like display (no chin), why not just build phones with a narrow forehead and no chin? The forehead could be used for display connections and camera, sensors, speaker etc. Even a Galaxy Note 8 like design (narrow chin and forehead) would be preferable to this madness. Alternatively, they could do what Xiaomi did with Mix lineup.

Some have notches and a chin some do not, just as some are completely edge to edge with no chin with a pop out camera and in screen fingerprint sensors.
