The Notch. Will you commit to it?

The Next Great Jump forward in phones/security will DNA to Unlock/use phone
in this Certin Companys Already have an advantage in that they already gouge you to the bone price wise and a little prick to draw blood to "VERIFY YOUR PRE REGISTERD DNA " ( And an onboard app to analyze and grant permissions for extra user'svia DNA ) will not be a step to far

That is unlikely to happen. There are very strict government regulations for use of a person's DNA(at least here stateside), making implementation of such a technology very unlawful.

There WERE Strict Laws regarding Regarding other Personal Rights and Freedoms and as soon as it fell into/against the interest of Agencys (un named) those Strict laws were watered down /changed,
All in "The Fight against TERROR" and think of the Children ect.
IT WILL COME

We're gonna have to agree to disagree on that one.

Not everyone does that. In fact there is a growing trend about people becoming wise about privacy.

You're right, in part, but its a sloooow trend and relatively small minority. Are people getting more aware, definitely. Has it pushed them towards massively giving up things like Facebook? Hell no. They will in the long run; when there is some alternative it will accelerate. Right now its a pretty big step to take for most.

Fun little story; in my country we just voted for a (free translation) 'dragnet' surveillance act by referendum. This Act in a brief sense provides intelligence agencies with much more leeway in how they behave on the net. Hacking and counter-hacking becomes possible, area-targeted mass surveillance is in there as well, and the checks and balances are questionable. Some more context: another act is currently being passed that entirely eliminates our democratic option of having an 'advisory' referendum again, due to it 'not leading to useful results' because apparently people 'are not involved and informed enough'.

The result of the dragnet referendum:
49,5% NO
46,3% YES

Majority vote wins... this result means that now our government has to 'reconsider' the plan. They are not bound to the outcome, but it is so telling.

I would rather have a button than a notch.

What the heck is a Notch?

 

[Mindweaver]

What the heck is a Notch?

notch - /näCH/ noun: an indentation or incision on an edge or surface.

EDIT: But honestly my first thought was the Minecraft guy when I read the Title.. lol

Does that apply physically to phones?

I believe it applies to the "notch" in the glass where the speaker is located.

Well I referred to @rtwjunkies post, so op is complaining about the dark area?

Im on an S5 lol

Never hear it called that before lol

Yea, I haven't either, but looking at the pictures I can understand the verbiage. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge (work phone) and it has a slit for the speaker, but I also have a button. I prefer an actual button for home as opposed to having more screen.

Same here, i wont upgrade unless if I need to. If I could tell samsung to redo the S8/9 with a removable battery, I would

 

[theFOoL]

It would be awesome if they created a speaker inside the glass but that's pushing it

 

[Atomic77]

I don’t believe in the notch. I don’t have anything that has one.

 

[WhiteNoise]

The "notch" does not bother me. Being an Apple user myself...the price bothers me more.

You realize those two are closely related?

This is All just stupid. Just because one company creates something we never asked for doesn't mean that All other companies must follow

That's marketing for ya, and tons of sheep we call consumers that echo this marketing blindly.

I've said it before but the perfect phone has already been made a dozen times over and the formula really isn't rocket science either. Mid range phones of today do it all, they do it well and everything beyond that is 99% status and marketing based. All of the newer innovations come with ridiculous drawbacks and I seriously question the sanity of people who fall for it.

The market is saturated both in ownership and innovation.

 

[RejZoR]

The notch is stupid because it requires specific coding, like we don't wait for stupid software updates long enough because of all the custom crap, npo, lets shove more of it in the software to make things even worse...

 

[biffzinker]

I'm happy with the top/bottom black space shrunk to the minimum required although it does cause an odd screen aspect ratio (2160x1080.)

I also think that they will implement such technology soon. Personally, I consider this as a huge invasion on privacy and I dislike it very much. But... keep in mind that overwhelming majority of people (>80%) are sheeple who are unable to think rationally and who are brainwashed beyond belief by our (western) MSM, our education system and various other influential individuals who were paid to promote something that will further enslave or dumb-down the masses.
In other words, they can say it's for your own "freedom & enhanced security" and sheeple will buy it for granted. The problem for them are the people who are able to think outside of the box and who dare or are able to ask some questions. We are the minority so far, but I hope that things will change and more people will be pulled out of Wonderland.

Back on the topic.
China copies everything. If EU or USA make something and advertise it properly, China will try to copy. Because they don't innovate. They copy and modify copies. The good thing is that some of these copies are relatively good and very price-friendly.
