The competitive push to make an “all-screen” phone has by now resulted in some pretty head-scratching design decisions. Starting with Apple’s wide notch and ending with Samsung’s display holes, they’ve done lasting aesthetics damage that was pretty much uncalled for – they could all learn something from the unique New Infinity design of the Galaxy A80.

It was not explicitly said, but with that move, he aims to stave off the onslaught of Chinese brands that are decimating everyone’s midrange and encroaching on the high-end turf with value-for-money propositions.
