Never say never. Remember when Samsung zuou Apple because of the notch in smartphones? Well The South Korean company, which was until recently one of the few companies to not keep pace with the popular phones among the makers of the iPhone X, has finally yielded to the design. And now, what's the problem?
The bustle of South Koreans took place in advertisements touting the brand's smartphones and ridiculing various elements of Apple's models. One of them, the famous and controversial notch: during the announcement, an Apple customer appeared in a row with his hair, recalling the notch used on the iPhone X.

Last week, Samsung announced A new line of mobile phones called Mr. The big news is that the M10 and M20 models have the controversial notch – in this case, drop-shaped, as seen in Chinese gadgets – at the top of the screen.
The devices are part of an affordable line with which Samsung hopes to attract customers to India, one of the largest mobile phone markets in the world. The characteristics being similar to those of Brazilian consumers, it is possible to dream that these devices land here, perhaps replacing the line J.

Others, however, were embarrbaded by the attitude of the company.
Samsung did something to try to get out of it. But unfortunately, Samsung has also adopted NOTCH. I did not have it from Samsung. And it is NOT the display of infinity V, it is the scale of tear / water. Samsung has also not managed to fight the NOTCH. "Samsung did something that he tried to avoid." Unfortunately, Samsung has also adopted the following notch: "I do not expect from Samsung." (
This is not the V-shaped infinity screen, it's the notch in dropping.Samsung has also failed to cope with the notch, "said Roham Kasyap.
