即将面世的三星 Galaxy A80(Samsung Galaxy A80)为各地的智能手机成瘾者带来了好消息。显示器顶部那个讨厌的凹槽所造成的挫败感已经一去不复返了,悲伤的早晨在你的咖啡中哭泣已经一去不复返了,因为在赶上社交媒体时你必须滚动(再次!)额外的半英寸。如果您想了解这个可怕的缺口的历史,以及三星(Samsung)什么时候摆脱它,请阅读这篇新闻文章(news article):
什么是缺口?
凹口或显示屏切口(display cutout)是很小的区域,通常位于屏幕顶部,智能手机制造商使用它来承载前置摄像头(front camera),在某些情况下,还用于安装额外的传感器,例如用于面部识别的传感器。在过去的几年里,随着我们的手机对大屏幕的需求与我们作为一个物种的自恋成比例地增加,大多数制造商一直在努力使凹口和边框尽可能小,以便为用户提供尽可能大的屏幕。
档次重要吗?
由于我没有带刘海屏的智能手机,我查看了网上的意见,并采访了我的一些朋友,了解在智能手机显示屏上有刘海屏时的挫败感和困难。最合理的担忧是某些应用程序和游戏(apps and games)可能会在屏幕的该区域显示相关信息。因此,当智能手机带有缺口时,某些应用程序可能会出现问题。另一个担忧是,尽管缺口旨在与边框集成,但它干扰原本完美的矩形屏幕的方式看起来并不好。但是,某些智能手机允许您禁用缺口,例如华为(Huawei)、小米(Xiaomi)、一加制造的缺口(OnePlus), 和别的。此外,您始终可以选择具有更宽边框的型号来避免此问题。因此,缺口的重要性成为个人喜好的问题。
那么这个缺口是什么时候变得相关(notch become relevant)的呢?
与往常一样,随着 iPhone X 的发布,Apple成为了引领潮流的人,尽管在此之前宣布的另外两款智能手机——Essential Phone 和夏普 Aquos S2——(Essential Phone and Sharp Aquos S2)也有显示缺口(display notch)。在Apple的产品发布(product launch)之前,刘海屏在智能手机(smartphone world)领域只是一个小趋势。刘海成为 iPhone X 的显着特征,因此成为智能手机行业(smartphone industry)的象征。
Galaxy A80(Galaxy A80):三星(Samsung)终于要杀出重围了吗?
三星 Galaxy A80(Samsung Galaxy A80)将于2019 年 5 月(May 2019)开始发布。即使对于像我这样的基本智能手机用户来说,这款智能手机看起来也很酷。(smartphone user)缺口消失了(希望连同它产生的所有戏剧和意见(drama and opinions)一起),用户可以享受新无限显示(New Infinity Display)。如果没有刘海,前置摄像头(front camera)去哪儿了?好吧,这就是事情变得有趣的地方:一个电动三镜头旋转相机从您的智能手机中滑出,在切换到自拍模式时翻转。凭借其 48 兆像素主摄像头(Main Camera)、8 兆像素超广角摄像头(Ultrawide Camera)和 3D深度摄像头(Depth Camera),摄像头阵列(camera array)允许相同质量的图像和录制,无论它们发生在屏幕后面还是前面。
从智能手机中滑出隐形相机的想法并不完全是原创的,就像苹果(Apple)借用它时那样。Vivo Apex 概念智能手机(concept smartphone)和随后生产的Vivo Nex(Vivo Nex)都有一个机械弹出式前置摄像头(pop-up front camera),Oppo Find X也是如此。然而,三星(Samsung)让Galaxy A80的摄像头阵列旋转(camera array spin),让我无法不将其与 2018款宾利欧陆 GT(Bentley Continental GT)的旋转仪表盘显示器(dashboard display)进行比较。
当然,两者都节省空间,但这不是你想要一个的主要原因。如果我们说实话,那是因为它们看起来非常棒。

Samsung is getting rid of notches and holes with upcoming Galaxy A80
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Α80 brings excеllent news to smartphonе addicts everywherе. Gone are the frustrations caused by that pesky notch at the top of your diѕрlay, gone the ѕad mornings crying in your coffee because you have to scroll (again!) an extra half an inch when catching up on social media. If you want to know about the history of the terrible notch, and when Samsung is gоing to get rid of іt, read this news article:
What is a notch?
A notch or a display cutout is the teeny tiny area, often found at the top of your screen, used by smartphone manufacturers to host the front camera and, in some cases, additional sensors, like those used for facial recognition. Over the last couple of years, as the need for large screens on our mobile phones increased proportionally to our narcissism as a species, most manufacturers have been trying to make the notch and the bezels as small as possible to give users the biggest screen possible.
Is the notch important?
Since I do not own a smartphone with a notch, I checked online opinions and interviewed some of my friends on the frustrations and hardships of having a notch on the smartphone's display. The most valid concern is that some apps and games might display relevant information in that area of the screen. Therefore, when having a smartphone with a notch, some apps may have problems. Another concern is that, even though the notch aims to integrate with the bezels, the way it interferes with an otherwise flawlessly rectangular screen, does not look good. However, some smartphones allow you to disable the notch, like those made by Huawei, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and others. Also, you can always choose a model with wider bezels to avoid this issue. Therefore, the importance of the notch becomes an issue of personal preference.
So when did the notch become relevant?
Trend-setters as always, Apple were the ones to make the notch popular, with the release of the iPhone X, even though two other smartphones announced before it - the Essential Phone and Sharp Aquos S2 - had a display notch. Before Apple's product launch, the notch was a minor trend in the smartphone world. The notch became a distinguishable feature of the iPhone X and therefore a symbol of the smartphone industry.
The Galaxy A80: is Samsung finally killing the notch?
The Samsung Galaxy A80 is going to be released starting May 2019. This smartphone looks cool even to a basic smartphone user like me. The notch is gone (hopefully together with all the drama and opinions it generated) and users can enjoy the New Infinity Display. Where did the front camera go if there is no notch? Well, this is where things get interesting: A motorized triple lens rotating camera slides out of your smartphone, flipping around when toggled into selfie mode. With its 48-megapixel Main Camera, 8-megapixel Ultrawide Camera and 3D Depth Camera, the camera array allows the same quality for images and recordings, whether they are happening behind or in front of your screen.
The idea of a stealthy camera sliding out of your smartphone is not entirely original, just like notch wasn't, when Apple borrowed it. The Vivo Apex concept smartphone and the subsequently produced Vivo Nex have a mechanical pop-up front camera, and so does the Oppo Find X. However, Samsung made the Galaxy A80's camera array spin, making it impossible for me not to compare it with the 2018 Bentley Continental GT's rotating dashboard display.
Sure, both save space, but that is not the main reason you want one. If we are honest, it is because cause they look so incredibly awesome.
What do you like about the Samsung Galaxy A80?
