The only problems it has are from the removal of the home button, really.

It's basically a two handed phone now with the removal of reachability (unless they bring that back somehow which no one has really said anything about yet) since the notifications and control center accessibility being from swipes from the top of the screen.

And removal of Touch ID sucks.

Other than that, ya, it's da best mayn.

Notch is fine. Just enough space on the top corners to remove the need for any top "icon bar" cuz they nestle themselves out of the way.

And the aspect ratio is pretty tall so to watch videos I don't really see that coming into play unless you want a weird zoom for the whole thing. Native will look better and shouldn't require that edge space. I could be wrong on this one though.

I don't mind the notch, I just think it's weird vids and apps don't configure and account for it and you're getting a chunk of it cut out by the notch.

That said i'm not planning on watching tons of movies on it so I guess to undercut my entire post who gives a fuck about it

No headphone jack and sd card suck.

Probably won't be as good as note 8 or v30.

Depends what you mean by good because the new iphones are destroying everyone else in benchmark tests.

The way Apple is being stubborn with the notch's software could be the thing to finally take them down a notch. It's a UI disaster and iphones are starting to become more fragmented than androids.

And Huawei's new phone blows away the iPhone X in power/benchmarks. Benchmarks mean nothing. Apple's software has as much or more jank than many android phones.
