This is the list of Android phones with Notch. This list contains all phones that have a screen cutout notch or the new Waterdrop notch. Let us shed some light at the background of the notch and then take a look at the Android phones with Notch.
Essential was the first ever company to bring a notch into the smartphone industry. Essential’s PH-1 came with a waterdrop notch, but it failed to catch any attention. At that time, Essential was greatly criticized as the waterdrop notch looked more like a design flaw.
Back in 2017, Apple introduced the iPhone X. It was the first ever Apple smartphone to have an all-screen design. This all-screen design came with a downside. It had an ugly notch which was not warmly welcomed by the audience. As if the notch on the Essential phone wasn’t ugly enough. As the Apple iPhone users embraced the nefarious notch, the Android phone makers jumped up the notch bandwagon. Android phone manufacturers deliberately copied Apple and started making the phones with notches every now and then.
3 Notch phones by Apple, over 140 by Android companies
Till date, Apple has manufactured 3 iPhone(s) in total that have a notch. At the same time, Android manufacturers have produced over 140 smartphones that have a notch. Huawei tops this list, as usual, being the biggest copycat. Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, OnePlus, LG, Google, Asus, RealMe, Lenovo, and Nokia are the other brands copying the footsteps of Apple.
Android smartphone makers have been trying to bring a new all-screen design for almost a year now. There have been phones with sliders hiding the front cameras, there are phones with dual-screens, there are also the phones with the tiny notches on the left and on the right side. However, the industry seems to be settling at the notches. Companies like OnePlus went ahead and brought in their flagship devices carrying the notches. OnePlus’s OnePlus 6 came with the bigger notch while its new OnePlus 6T came with the waterdrop notch.
After realizing that Apple’s screen cutout notch is much more uglier than Essential’s Waterdrop notch, the Android manufacturers started copying Essential instead. The current trend of Android screens has settled at waterdrop notches. To much extent, the smartphone audience has now accepted the notch and realized that the no matter what, the notch is not going away anytime soon.
