For people who prefer a more traditional smartphone look, we’ve added an option to hide the display cutout (the notch).

According to Twitter handle Made By Google, the Alphabet company has come up with a solution that hides the notch from the Google Pixel device. Well, the notch doesn't go away entirely, but instead, the status kafe is blacked out entirely so as to make the notch less visible...giving it a bezel look.

Could this method of  hiding the notch be the solution or even making the situation worse?

Well, for now the feature isn't available for users to try it out as it is still in developer-option mode. However, we will keep watch and see what the outcome will be when its finally released for users.

How To Download The Crazy Google Pixel Night Sight For Your Phone Camera

Developers at XDA have made available the Google Night Sight app for download for free for android users!

The Night Sight feature was made available for the Google Pixel phones alone, and isn't officially available for other Android phones yet.

This feature enables Google Pixel users to photograph objects in the dark. The feature uses along exposure time with the standard hardware in the Google Pixel devices to capture images that are in the dark....supposed images that can't be seen.


However, XDA developers were able to rip out the feature and integrate it in the Google Camera app. The Google Camera app version 6.1.013 is available for download with the Night Sight feature activated in it.

Before you proceed with the download, know that this is the unofficial feature, and so you might experience some bugs. The Night Sight feature was created for the Google Pixel 3 alone, though it also works on the Google Pixel 2 and 1 but not as it is on the Google Pixel 3 that it was intended for.  .
Once you've downloaded the app, head over to the More option at the end of the camera mode options. Now select Night and then wait for it a bit while its working. Keep your hands steady while you wait for the surprise.

Kindly download the app and give us your feedback. However, users on Android 8.0 and up have more chances of experiencing stability with the app. Still, Android 7.0 too can download and gives us feedback.

Crazy Bug Adds A Second Notch To The Google Pixel 3 Xl Display

As if to say the huge notch on the Google Pixel 3 XL display isn't big enough to piss off users, a second notch has been showing up unexpectedly for users on the Google Pixel 3 XL device over the weekend.

One of the most disliked features of the Google Pixel 3 XL is the presence of the notch. Most Android users were heavily disappointed when Google decided to opt for a notch design --- a design heavily popularized by Apple.


Google made the notch on the Pixel 3 XL unique... a design so unique that it occupied more space than other Android devices that also embraced the same notch design.

According to images shown on Twitter by Jessie Burroughs, some Pixel 3 XL device  are experiencing a bug that cause a second notch to appear on the right side of the display of the device. Another Google Pixel 3 XL user posted image of the same kasus on Twitter.

For now, we don't know what caused the bug. However, the bug might have something to do with the developer settings or screen rotation settings.

Those who had the issue said they were able to resolve it by when they changed a few settings in the developer section. Others said the issue resolved its selves after a reboot of the device.
