iPhone X it is the first smartphone that has a large cutout in the screen, and after what Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), launched its mobile phone on the global markets, all major Android phone manufacturers rushed to copy it. Some time after these actions, those from Huawei I claim that in fact they would have thought about implementing cutouts in phone screens, but not recently, but even 3 or 4 years ago, but they decided not to make such a radical change.
Huawei thought about cutouts for Android phones even before Apple had such an idea, but it seems that the decision was made to skip the idea because customers in China would not have liked these screens. The Chinese like round things, or square things, symmetrical things, and the cutout in the current phones is very far from being something symmetrical, so Huawei distanced itself from the idea before it became a reality in a smartphone.
Android: Cut-out screens were not Apple's invention
Huawei says that Apple had a lot of courage in the decision to implement a cutout in the iPhone X screen, and I have to admit that this is as correct as possible. If Apple didn't have the guts to implement such an ugly design feature for its phones, then Android manufacturers wouldn't have the guts to copy such a powerful move, but it only takes one company to prove that a change it is popular, so that others copy its ideas.
"Huawei actually thought of the notch idea "three to four years ago," but the company didn't go with it out of concern that consumers wouldn't accept it. Consumers, especially those in China, like symmetry, and the notch is not perfect in Chinese culture. They like squares or circles—like rounded corners [of the display]. That's perfect. [Apple] using the notch was courage.”
Those from Huawei are known for the fact that they "borrow" the ideas of others in their own mobile phones, but it is still very brave to admit that someone else has done well by implementing something that you "thought" of offering, but you didn't have the courage . It's interesting that Huawei made fun of the cutout in the iPhone X screen last year, but miraculously decided that it was great, in fact, it thought of it 3 or 4 years ago, but was afraid to implement it.
