@op Although Apple's iPhone X help to popularize the notched display, Essential's PH-1 smartphone was the first device to incorporate a notched display.

They don't know

Iphone stole essential idea

thariodamaniac:

guy you off me for this one.... They told you iphone cameras are the best abi.... Guy iphone never win any camera challenge in the world for the past 3yrs now...and most camera hardware are made by sony even apple buys their hardware from them na their ios software na e make am but android sef don upgrade....
Just say you like iphone no be say companies dey copy dem.... And btw iphones are bullcrap the only thing that iphone beats other phones in is its customer service becos of updates( even tho they make older models slower on purpose... Yes, they were fined) and their ios operating system(that shit is f4cking on point mehn) aside the rest android beat dem by far..... Who brought the idea of foldable fones, motorized camera.... Guy check out phones abeg

U completely missed my point. Show me in my post that u quoted where I said iPhones have the best camera. I said phone makers are copying the design of their back camera just like they did with the notch just like in the images below. Meanwhile iPhone cameras are also right there on top when it comes to the overall best camera phones. They might not be the best in a particular department but when it comes to the overall picture quality, like just point and shoot iPhone cameras are one of the best. Definitely the best video camera phone for sometime now (until recent with the Sony Xperia 1 ii).

Meanwhile that a company buy their sensor from Sony does not mean Sony will make better cameras than them. For many years now Sony phones are not even ranked among the best camera phones even though many phone makers but their sensors from Sony, they still use those sensors to make better cameras than Sony. Smartphone photography is dependent on software as much as hardware. If u have a good camera hardware and a shitty software u won't get better images. This is why pixel 3 with just 1 camera beat all those phones with double, triple cameras, software bro, software.

Iphone stole essential idea

Stole essential idea? Like seriously? The renders and iPhone x leaks was already available since January 2017, way before anyone even know what essential phone was. Essential phone ph1 was announced in May 2017, while wwe already saw the iPhone leaks since January 2017 with the notch. Tell me again how apple stole essential phone idea?

I'm not going to say essential stole Apple idea, but the essential ph1 was rushed so they can claim the spot of the first notched phone. This explains the many problems the phone had, it was never a finished product. Meanwhile apple and been working on face id for a long time which they could only achieve with the notch. They had that notch design for a long time before essential phone.

Mention 1 phone with a hidden camera?

Those can't work anymore because everyone is trying to make their phones water-resistant.
A pop-up camera would just mess up any hope of the phone being water-resistant.

KrazyDave16:
Apple is not the first to implement the notch screen. Go and do more research before sharing links in the name of traffic...

Oya Mr researcher (who is yet to research a cure for coronavirus)
Mention one phone...just 1 phone that has done it, and I will delete this post.

AngelicDamsel:
I wonder why a hidden camera phone is celebrated. Every IT guru knows that these features can be used by the tech company to breach your privacy. Your phone is a spy in disguise!

You have a point, but should that stop us from using smartphones?

thariodamaniac:

because it a new CHARACTERISTIC of phones

thariodamaniac:

i read am o... All screen display its like people dont know how almost impossible it is.... Its just like how they believed the samsung galaxy fold will last...how does one place one sensor on top on the screen which is already a sensor on its own..... The camera is already been done but not other sensors

Lol. Keep yourself updated. Nothing is wrong with Samsung's Galaxy Fold. It's even sold out.

The thing is this, yes iPhone is not the first to implement a notch, but u should know the design of the iPhone x was leaked several months before its release. Essential phone was just quick to release their phone before the iPhone x. iPhone made the notch popular. The iphone serves as a statue that other phone manufacturers copy. Apple made the new camera trend popular now every phone maker is releasing phones with back camera similar to iPhone 11. Apple made headphone jack removal a normal thing. If they decide to bring back the headphone jack with the next iPhone then every other phone makers that have been removing headphone jack from their phones will bring it back. So many other things like micro SIM card, nano SIM, etc were made popular by apple.

Apple know how much they control the market and this is why sometimes they are slow to innovate as they don't want to rush some techs into the market so they won't run out of ideas for the next iPhone. If apple released their next iPhone without any physical buttons don't be surprised other phone makers will follow.

I disagree. The design of the iPhone X was a surprise to many in the tech world. Apple announced both the 8 and the X at the same time...what for? The way they released the X made the 8 obsolete in just 2-3 months after its release. Why the hurry from Apple? It seems to me that they wanted to implement the new design from Essential as soon as possible. The Essential phone was announced and released even before the iPhone 8...I really doubt they could have copied the design of the X.
Apple haven't innovated anything in recent years.

All this hype over phones, last last na still call n text messaging u go use am do

KrazyDave16:

Wrong

Should Apple release a buttonless phone, few OEMs will follow after a few months or years because Apple is notorious for forcing changes on its customers, be the changes good, bad or pointless.

Also they aren't that innovative, they implement others ideas, sometimes make it better or change the name in some cases.

Yes, they have not been very innovative for sometime now. I think it's mainly due to that they have their customers locked down. No matter what they bring out, people will still queue to buy. They have their own os, if u like iOS u have no choice but buy the iPhone. So they can decide to release the same phone for 2-3 generations with just minor changes. The iphone x design is in its 3rd and most probably last generation now. And to be frank I don't think changing the design of phones every year is very good for business of even for customers. If I bought an iPhone xs for $1,000, then a year later apple realeases a completely different iPhone 11, I would feel jealous, but if the design is not too different I can still hold on to my old phone for another year. Good for customers, good for business as they can still use old parts for the new phone.

Samsung have also followed this trend. In the past Samsung are known to release new designs every year, but for sometime now they have followed apple steps, release phones for generations. The s8 design was carried on till the S10 (3 generations). It makes someone who owns the s9 to skip the S10 and buy the s20. In fact if not for the competition Android devices are giving, apple are ready to delay new features of phones for as long as they can, not because they can't do it but it's a business strategy.

Bro, apple have been working on face id for a while, it's not something they can do within 3 months of essential ph1 release. iPhone x leaks came out before essential phone release. Watch the video below

actually the s9's design is different from that of the s10 the s8 design was only for 2 generations.

this guy sef..... Why was the launch called off.... Why did the early users of the fold return it complaining that the screen couldnt keep up..... Should i continue?

Someone already mentioned the phone here...and do direct your saltiness elsewhere, doesn't work on me mate
BUT
Just in case you didn't see it, name of the phone is the Essential PH-1, an household name cos the owner was one of the founders of Android (Andy Rubin before you give yourself aneurysm) and they were the first to implement it. See, free research materials
Great device, getting patches and OS upgrades after Google Pixels does and still getting some even after they went off the smartphone biz.

Now delete your post and work on that article.

He meant under screen camera not motorized pop-up cameras

how do you expect that to happen.... There are on screen cameras but under screen thats not possible... Even if it happens except they find a way to cover it... It would be discontinued for security reasons

I'm not big on designs so my opinion on this topic will be a bit flawed but the trend here was for better camera performance than design, in my opinion Samsung and Apple got it all wrong. The S10 design would've been perfect this time around and the iPhone 11 camera should've been smaller instead but you're right about the competition not being in favour with Apple right now.

Given the rumours that iPhone 12 will come with a 120hz panel and them sourcing from Samsung, LG and one other source confirming this, it means they're going to play roulette concerning the green tint that comes with the high refresh rate instead of being left out of the refresh trend.

thariodamaniac:

The under screen isn't possible now because the amount of light that enters the lens won't be enough to make a good pic talk less of video shots unless infrared was somewhat implemented but I doubt it'll stay for long.

Nokia 9.3 will be having under screen camera, and by nxt yr, it will be a common thing, Oppo, Xiaomi, One plus and Samsung are working to achieve it, even Sony

I completely missed the high refresh thing. Thanks for reminding me. It's not like apple can't make phones with high refresh rate, I think they are saving it for their next generation of phones probably with a new design. Still comes down to them having their customers locked down, even if they release the next iPhone without higher refresh rate they will still sell because of their ecosystem. But I think the next iPhones will have a higher refresh rate

And a bigger battery capacity as well. But if they don't they'd sell alright but not as much as they'd expect. Cos the reason for upgrading from one generation to the next is pretty pointless for Apple users right now since iPhone 11 covered most of the important ones (except design), unless consumers are coming off from 6s to X series. Though they did release the intentional bug to boost sales, they were caught.
The refresh rate (or ProMotion as it's called) will be used to sell the iPhone 12 like they did the SE to Android users.
