Here Is Google's Solution To Hide The Pixel 3 Xl’S Ugly Notch

Google recently launched the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL devices with nice specs and features that put the two device up against other flagship devices in the market.

The Pixel 3 comes with a 5.5-inch (18:9) 2160x1080 AMOLED, 443 PPI display while the Pixel 3 XL comes with a 6.3-inch (18.5:9) 2960x1440 AMOLED, 523 PPI display.

The difference between the two Pixel devices is the screen size, battery size, and the notch. Yes the notch. The notch has always been one thing that most Android users hate. However, it seems Google has come up with a solution to hide the notch from the Pixel 3 XL device for those who hate that crazy notch.

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.

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.
