[–] amenotef@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago* (1 child) After comparing old sensors from an older Pixel with a top bezel vs new sensors that are under the display. I prefer more sensors/peripherals that are not under the display. Especially for the ambient light sensor. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) I think it's a tech that will still need a few more generations to mature, but I don't mind a worse quality selfie camera since I rarely use it. I personally would enjoy the more screen real estate, but tbh I currently see nothing wrong with hole punches. If anything, I think the Pixel 5 had the best hole punch location off to the corner. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] amenotef@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* I personally prefer the (extremely ugly) iPhone notch with better sensors, than under the screen. Apple does very well despite of prioritizing this. My preference over a notch is still a thin bezel like in the Pixel 3. I prefer this over aesthetics. Especially after putting a pretty phone on a case. (The case already takes away all the aesthetics). I was never touching the brightness settings in the older nexus/pixels and I really miss that. They were much better catching and distinguishing different low light levels. I also compared the Pixel 4 Vs 5 using devcheck tool to test the ambient light sensor, and the under screen sensor can't see shit at night. permalink fedilink source parent
