Google could have avoided the Pixel 3 XL’s notch

Pixel-3-XL-NotchGoogle
From the Pixel 3 XL’s first leak, all the way through to using the device, I’ve been thinking about its big ugly notch. I hoped it wouldn’t be as bad as pictures. But I can confirm it’s both huge and distracting.
After the launch, a lot of people tweeted they might buy the smaller Pixel 3 – just because of the XL’s notch.

Phone-makers across the world justify the notch by saying it helps them fit an edge-to-edge screen. However, some phones – like the Oppo Find X andthe Vivo Nex – showed us that the notch is not a necessity for that type of display. And Samsung’s notch-less phones look just fine.
Google’s justification behind the notch is the dual camera system on the front. It could have easily included all the front sensors in a bar, just like the Pixel 2 XL’s design. It’s also worth noting that the size of the notch and the size of the bottom chin are not same.
The company confirmed that one can hide Pixel 3 XL’s notch through developer settings. And the phone actually looks a bit better with the notch turned off. That being said, Google’s software handled the notch pretty well in my 24 hours of usage.


Rick Osterloh, Google’s VP of Products, said that Fast Company named Google Design Company of the Year. I wonder what they have to say after looking at the Pixel 3 XL’s notch? Now, all we can do is wait for next year, and hope for a notch-less Pixel.

Sony Xperia Ear Duo can read out your notifications on iOS and Android 13 September 2018 Sony has updated the Xperia Ear Duo software on both Android and iOS. The biggest change is that the wireless earphones can read out notifications from the phone – who’s calling you or even the text you just received. Another neat trick is that you can assign one of the commands to “current time”, so you can check the time without having to reach for your phone.   Voice notifications on iOS • 'Current time' action • Dynamic Normalizer toggle The Ear Duo can mix the sound of your music with the sounds of the outside world so that you remain aware of your surroundings. To improve the experience, the Adaptive Volume Control has been updated to reduce wind interference. Also, if an audio source is too quiet, the new Dynamic Normalizer feature will boost the volume so you can hear clearly even in noisy environments. Source
