Upcoming Android Smartphones With iPhone X Like Notch

Posted on the 06 March 2018 by Gadgetscanner @jdsoni7

Love it or hate is the Notch isn’t going anywhere. As usual like any new design from Apple its either hated, criticized or hailed as a technological marvel, depending on users loyalties. Truth is said, the notch is much like beer, an acquired taste. Time and again brands have tried their own versions of the holy Notch, like the one in the Essential phone or some reminders that suggested that Xiaomi is working on a phone with an oddly placed notch on the left side of the screen. Some not so famous Chinese brands came up with cheap iPhone X clones, read  Leagoo, Noa, Vinci, Ulephone etc, However with Asus launching the Zenphone 5 at MWC 2018 we can expect a lot more upcoming mobile phones with iPhone X like notch, a trend least expected.

Arguably yes there are a lot of hurdles in creating a perfect bezel-less design. From cramming up the speakers, front camera and other sensors in a tiny little space to keeping the top bezel to a minimum, it is surely going to test the best of engineers around the globe. However yet another Chinese brand Vivo has shown with its concept phone Apex that this is certainly possible. As they say, where there is a will there is certainly a way.

LG has taken a leaf straight out of Apples’ books. While the South Korean smartphone brand remained quiet during the MWC 2017, its upcoming Android smartphone with iPhone X like notch made relevant noises. This upcoming smartphone from LG was recently displayed at MWC 2018, behind “closed doors”.

The LG G7 will feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 3000 mAH battery, 64GB/128GB internal storage and 4GB/6GB RAM.

OnePlus 6

OnePlus phones have been innovative in terms of design and value for money devices. The pricing of their phones may have gone up slightly off late and with  OnePlus 6 the design may also get an overhaul. Unfortunately, the OnePlus 6 also features in the list of upcoming Android Phones with iPhone X like notch.

We are well aware that OnePlus tests multiple devices before the launch. The company boasts that it hears its fans (who obviously do not want the OnePlus 6 to be an iPhone X clone)so let’s just wait for more information regarding OnePlus 6s’ design.

Specifications of OnePlus 6

With OnePlus 6, we can expect that the company will launch it with the top of the shelf specifications. So it is pretty much certain that the phone will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB/8GB RAM along with 64GB and 128GB internal storage.  Like the OnePlus 5 or OnePlus 5T, the OnePlus 6 will also have a dual rear camera setup.

OnePlus 6 Price and Launch Date

Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, has already clarified that the OnePlus 6 would be released by the end of the second quarter. Which is sensible considering the fairly less time gap between the last two phones caused quite a backlash among the loyal fans.  Not much is available about OnePlus 6 price as yet.
