What was Apple thinking with that notch for the X? They should have elongated the phone and dedicated the top portion for the cameras. But the notch over the screen is just silly and I don't like how videos or photos are clipped by it.

They wanted a "bezel free" design, but I bet ambient light from the display wreaked hazard on the front facing sensors for face id or something during early prototype testing. It's the only thing that sort of makes sense to me.
It's not my favorite design choice, but it doesn't really bother me either. I'm sure in a year or two it will disappear.

Well having that notch as a permanent fixture over videos and photos prevents you from seeing all the content. That's like having a watermark on a website over all the content. I think that was a mistake.
The Samsung Note 8 looks great with a black bar top and bottom. I prefer that over the X.
I like iPhones and have had quite a few now. However that being said the Note 8 just looks better to me than the X and after reviewing the specs many arguments could be made for it over the X.

It doesn't have to. You choose the aspect ratio you want to view it in from what I understand. Either "full screen" where the notch cuts into the image, or a slightly smaller one with no cutout.
That would help a lot. Users should have the option to view squared content unaltered by rounded corners and the notch.
Iirc they addressed it during the keynote.
I'm on day three with my Note 8, and it is everything my Note 7 was, but better. I loved that phone. They literally had to force me the send it back. Once you learn all of the tricks you can do with the stylus, you can't use a phone without it. The Iphone X is in no way without a bezel. It literally has a 4mm bezel all the way around the screen. It reminds me of the Iphone 3 with the way it looks. Just larger and more screen real estate.
Let's not forget that the latest Samsung S8 goes for $850. That's big money, too. The Note 8 starts are $930. The iPhone 8 starts at $699 and the 8+ starts at $799. The cost of high end smart phones are pretty much all over $700.
That iPhone 3 looks so tiny. LOL.I'm on day three with my Note 8, and it is everything my Note 7 was, but better. I loved that phone. They literally had to force me the send it back.

they're all around the same price point, yet iphones are 'omg way too expensive'
hahahaha
The S8 starts at $720, $20 more than the iPhone 8. The S8+ is $820. The iPhone X is almost $300 more than the comparable S8 and IMO thats a huge jump! Almost 40% more! I dont mind paying a premium for all the features is has and can be used for. Sure it can cost more than a laptop or PC, but its practically a “DSLR" Waterproof PC with long lasting battery than can charge quick and take phone calls. Plus my S8 came with a free 64 SD card lol so 128GB without paying a penny more!
This doesnt bode too well. I never really had any issue with the IRIS scan on my S8, I like it. Especially since it saves online passwords and gets unlocked on the fly without me inputting anything.
Have you tried to fool it? Some reporter was saying he was able to unlock several of them with pictures off of face book put in front of the phone.
That was the issue with the older nonexistent Note 7. The S8 upped the security measures and im sure the Note 8 went even higher on it. So that’s not a problem with the current Samsung phones anymore.
To my knowledge, the only one’s who were able to do it were German Hackers thru a IR picture printed out by a lazer printer and using contact lenses. These hackers were also able to hack the IDTouch from the iPhone, so go figure.
