everyone John here with Adam and today we have LG's G 7th in queue yeah it does
have a notch but you can do a lot with it which I'm going to demo right now so
as we know notches are controversial ever since the iPhone to say the least
yeah and you've been testing a lot of phones with notches yeah right let's
totally the p20 Pro lately but that yeah I've been keeping the knotch on
because it also has the same thing where you can kind of block it out right to
like get rid of it so you tell me if this is the most customization you can
do for a notch so I'm gonna go into settings and I don't know if you can get
this Dan so here we are in settings and it's the
second screen and I want everyone to look at the top of the display right
there yeah there we go okay so that is with no notch whatsoever now you go to
standard and bam you get the notches and of course you can see your notifications
there now why are they doing it well according to LG they're trying to get to
a place where you have a phone that is 100% display but you can't get there yet
with bezels and you can't get there when you still have your camera and your
ambient light sensor and some other stuff stuck up there so what do you do
you create the knotch so I don't know when we're gonna get to
the fully I'll display front-facing phone but this is what you get now so
you can customize it and here you can get some different looks this is all
black where it's a traditional phone screen and then you can get some funky
options at the top to sort of get a different kind of look there if you
could see right there but really if you just want the full notch effect Wow
Dan's getting in close I do kind of like the different in lemon of zappa way to
show you what it looks like there it is I do kind of like the different options
that it's giving you especially especially this gradient one okay kind
of looks fancy but yeah and really the the big one I think is the rounded
corners because if so check that out at the top yeah I like rounded corners are
at the bottom okay so that's Noir all corners and here are rounded corners
see what happens well in that and that matches what's at the bottom bezel as
well right so that it's kind of symmetrical honestly though I hate
really rounded corners so I kind of probably you know Friday there's
something about it that makes me feel like I'm miss handling the phone yeah
weird well not even that like I feel like it starts to cut off some of the
content actually when I'm watching the video so how do you feel about the notch
I remember you had a strong opinion I'm talking about all notches not all not
you've got you had a strong opinion you might still have a spray well the the
iPhone 10 obviously first wouldn't come up with notch that I and then I started
using the p20 Pro lately that has a notch and obviously iOS is different
than Android and how it handles it but with the iPhone version I felt like it
was cutting into stuff especially when I would watch a video and fullscreen it it
was cutting stuff out or like reading a web page in landscape mode news cutting
it out on I found at least for the most part in Android that it's just reserved
for notifications right even if I fullscreen something whether it's a game
or a movie that it actually stops like when it hits any notch so it doesn't
continue asked it so so actually it it hasn't bothered me that much and I have
the other opinion where I don't care about the notch any kind of meaningful
content that's off there is no meaningful content that that's far off
to the side but you have a different approach to visuals and certainly
photography and probably movies than I did well I don't want to feel like I'm
losing screen space right now I want to feel like I'm at gaining something so
which is another reason why they went to a taller aspect ratio on this because
then it's like okay here's the normal screen space we would give you and then
we gave you an extra on top kind of like the V 20 which I like the the second
screen on the b20 but the V 30 didn't really you know sure they made it taller
yeah but this is an even taller aspect ratio than the V 30 so it's 18 point 9
by 9 rather than 18 by 9 so you get a little bit more but again from my
perspective it's not meaningful screen area but I notifications yeah I want to
say those notifications and I think it's sort of cool to see it against a really
colorful vibrant background okay so you you would keep it in notch well I would
keep it ya know I like the notch yeah I like the
I like the options yeah I'm glad that they have options
because that's really I think what people want to have is customers a shark
so there are a bunch of other features in the g7 thank you we'll be covering
those soon
