Soon Google will "accidentally" start mailing that shit to people for free. I'll mail it back. Fuck off with your retarded designs Google.
How do those Google design meetings go?
Google dbag 1: "People hate the notch and think it's the dumbest idea of the century, what should we do?"
Google dbag 2: "Let's copy that... AND MAKE IT DEEPER!"
Google dbag 1: "... BRILLIANT!"

2000 dollars is far too much. Even Apple doesn't have the guts to charge that much for an iPhone. I can't foresee much success.

Oh the old taxi trick... :P
Just in case that wasn't a joke... 😉
That price mentioned is for the black market where usually pre-release technology commands a higher or a lot higher price for obvious reasons.

kinda smell like stealth campaign
otherwise that taxi driver sure a geek, at least he know the upcoming pixel 3
most people, probably wont aware and thought nothing special about the phone
or would rather just think "oh google copycat iphoneX-things"

Even google copying apple, who's left now?

Why does everyone have to copy each other? Notch and no front button?
I miss when phones had SOME real variety. I never even liked touch screens, just forced to adapt, they are a terrible input method. I miss my old HTC with a slideout keyboard (though do not miss Windows Mobile).

exactly that hehe... reminded me of that one time an apple employee "forgot" his new iPhone 😀

Looks like generic phone with fingerprint reader on back side.

smartphn maker been trying to make full-frameless-display for some quite time
while they still cant ditch front-camera + earpiece + all rest of sensor ... the result is the notch
despite many people hate it and i myself dont see any benefit from it... when comparing the phone, one with notch sure giving full-display-looks ...
though its just looks weird for some android phone that using notch but still having wide chin-area
so yea we are going to see this trends for next few years

I just laugh at my friends who have to have the latest and most fashionable phone, like they're some kind of status accessories. Lol
I have had my xiaomi redmi 5 plus for a few months now. It has a metal body. I've seen my friends with the glass backs and a lot of them are cracked.
It has a very sharp and bright 5.99 inch screen a fast cpu, and 4gb of ram.
It runs like a dream and the camera takes really good photos The fingerprint scanner is flagship fast (feels instant)
This phone cost me £179.

U.S. import tariffs from China in effect? 😱

That's one of the reasons I respect Samsung - they are one of the only companies not copying the notch (which is kind of ironic, since Samsung is notorious for copying Apple). I really hope all these notch copycat phones fail.

Are we seeing the same thing? The notch makes it look like it has less surface area covered by a screen even though it is more. Not to mention is horribly distracting and ugly as Apple's lack of morality.
No we're not. The notch, especially the Google Down's Syndrome Notch, is unlikely to be around in even 1 year. Samsung's phones with bezels look more full screen as they are now and manufacturers are realizing their sales (aside from Apple) on notch phones are shit. Not to mention all the companies doing anything to avoid the notch, like having cameras which slide out.
If that wasn't enough, foldable screens are coming, so they'll only need an out-facing camera.
For me a notch is an automatic "not buying" just like lacking a headphone jack. Eat shit Apple. I'll stick with those evil sadistic bastards at Samdung.

Google had to go and one up Apple. Apple screw you and your tiny notch. /s
