To those who own the phone

Do you embrace the notch?

Or do you hide it ? Like with a wallpaper

What phone with the same features and build quality goes for 13k?

I'm not comparing it to any other phone. I am comparing it to other things r20k can buy

Edit: if given the choice and if you were in the market for a tv and phone. Would you buy an Oled 55 inch LG B7 tv for R20k or an iPhone x for R20500?

And this is a choice people would have had yesterday

Don’t even notice it anymore

where else would they put the camera and speaker?

Could they have made the notch shorter and or narrower ? Maybe they might in the next iteration. In video watching I really felt that if it was a little smaller it would be like that little fairy light on a Christmas tree as opposed to a halogen lightbulb being hung onto the tree

[adamr]

Lol my bad they paid r29k ... Guy bought a few things and Hirsch's made an error on the r19k price advertised

 

[Niner]

Damn, that's a very nice TV for R30k. It's an excellent TV at R20k.

Anybody know where is ZA one can get one of those new 8/X wireless chargers (Mophie and Belkin).

Seems like we can get a 5w belkin here, but not the new 7.5w

No problem with the camera and speaker there, but they could have just run the notch the full width of the screen.

But then they couldn’t advertise edge to edge screen

 

[crackersa]

Maybe shorter but not narrower due to camera size

Well that depends where the edges are.

It’s hardly Edge to Edge as it is.

So vodacom never called me re the pre order. Meh. My local shop however said they getting their stock on Tuesday and my name is right at the top.

How’s the battery life on the X?

 

[kab123]

The notch doesn't bother me at all.

But I do agree, it's definitely not ideal and they could've easily made it a non issue.

Notch or no notch they should just have kept with a standard aspect ratio
