Same, but I guess the thing you need to weigh up is do you place water/dust resistance above screen to body ratio?
Looking at this vid, you can see dust on the Vivo Nex popup camera during a close up...at 3:25

Another unanswered question is how will protective cases work?

The Vivo Nex should be fine (a cutout for the smaller popup camera), but the Find X will be slightly more difficult...it can be done along the sides/bottom, but the whole upper edge will need to be left exposed.

Wait till you get sand/dust in the sliding mechanism. There’s a reason no one else has done this, because it’s a bad idea.

Actually I just don't see how this chin could be called something else than just a small one. Even the iPhone X haves a chin but it's more hidden because of the bigger bezels all around.

Blurry photos. Vivo has its chin hidden by the person’s thumb. The iPhone X has a case and the Vivo doesn’t.

Nice try. The Vivo has a chin and it’s close to double of the the iPhone X.

I don't think the pop up camera on the Vivo Nex with have any of the problems you describe. It is just the front camera....and how many times does anyone really use the front camera on a daily basis.

Then the Vivo Nex has a 91% screen to body ratio almost 10% better than the iPhone X
I would rather have that small chin at the bottom than a notch all day long to be honest.

As a result, it has an astounding 91.2% screen-to-body ratio compared to the iPhone X's 83%, as measured by GSM Arena.

Looking good, Indian market has become the second largest cell phone one in the world, the consumers know what they are buying.

Close to a premium product? Dude it's have the latest and highest smartphone specs for an Android device, for 3 times a lower price than the iPhone XS Max.
