Samsung has released A8s with Front Camera inside the screen

[Furiku]

Samsung has released their new Galaxy A8s which has the camera embedded inside a hole on its screen on front side

Initially they're only releasing it in China.

It's curious to see what kind of applications we're going to see from other manufactorers in regards of the Front facing camera and getting rid of the notch. Punching hole in the screen seems quite radical, but definitely less noticeable in use than "The Notch" did.

Quote

As for the screen, it incorporates a camera hole that's 6.7mm wide for the selfie shooter in the upper left corner and it stretches to 6.4" in diagonal. The resolution is 1080 x 2340 pixels with a tall 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

i would be interested to see how Android is going to handle this. sometimes it can't even render properly with a notch-display.

common Samsung, you had one thing special about you

[bleedblue]

I'm guessing the bottom bezel is still a bit larger than the top?  can't see it in any of the pics.

Using it as a battery indicator would be neat, this is much better than the notch but no headphone jack kind of ruins it for me as well.

This is stupid. Nobody minds 3mm bezels, stop deforming the screen.

 

Also, no jack, no buy.

I want to see what the companies are seeing to compel them to disregard the headphone jack o_o like is it the waterproofing, or is it not many people listen to music on their devices, or WHAT IS IT MAN

 

probebly space, waterproofing sounds kinda weird...

there's the argument of the contact points on in the TRRS barrel shorting with any conductive liquids, or corroding over time and getting hard to clean, but yeah is not a compelling enough reason for me too o_o

agree. you could just do what they did on the older sony's (I thougt). they had some kind of a cover for the headphone jack

They're trying to be Apple without understanding why people buy Apple in the first place, so they copy every idiotic design decision Apple makes.

They should remove the USB connector as well. It will make the phone more waterproof.

Use wireless charging and call it a day. Everyone has a wireless charger now.

They need some iCourage

Can someone do a list of the best flagships that still feature the headphone jack?

Its not just about headphones, I still need a jack for my Jeep, receiver, camp radio and buggy. Then I could add on my studio headphones which I am not replacing for BT. 

 

Its a big deal for some people

It is a big deal especially to me I own hundreds of dollars worth of audiophile gear that I'm not replacing with Bluetooth stuff. They don't make high end audio with Bluetooth why because Bluetooth ruins audio quality. Even the best Bluetooth quality isn't close there is an audible difference.
