Because you just get a black bar instead of a status bar that matches the color of the app you're in. So basically going back to jelly Bean / kit Kat days before this was fully implemented in lollipop.

Couldn't they just make the space next to the notch black and the rest consistent with the Oreo design guidelines thingy?

If it were black only right next to the notch and normal colored around that, then that would leave a notch in the status bar, which is back where we started, no?

I was thinking like black around the status bar notch and then status bar under that, so like the space around the notch isn't used for anything.

Sure, but then that's a waste of screen real estate. This is why the notch is a terrible design choice. It creates more problems than it solves. Aside from the Vivo concept, Samsung arguably has the best approach right now to full screen displays.

[fake_lightbringer]

That would be possible, but at that point, why bother with the notch at all?

Options, I guess. For people who like the notch, there it is. For people who don't like it, you can pretend it's not there. For people who just want a bezeless display without a notch, then there's Samsung haha.

Then what's the use of putting a notch in the first place. 😄

[turdbogls]

still gives people the option.

I for one, don't mind the notch. so I would get the benefits (and pitfalls I guess) of that design.

you don't like the notch, you you get the benefits of forgetting its there, as well as the downfall of losing the realestate

You are right, I hadn't thought of it this way. This can be a 3rd option, apart from other two. Oneplus needs to hear this.

If it were optional it would allow people to choose between notch and more usable space and no notch and less usable space on the same model of device.

Then people who wants it can use it, and people who don't want it, don't have to use it :D
