LG has said that it did not knock off the notch on its flagship LG G7 ThinQ from the Apple iPhone X. Rather, the company says that it thinks of it as a secondary display, which is there to show additional information.

Not buying it. If they had the camera(s) to the side and gave us a single "second screen" then we could have recognized it as an old LG feature used in the V-series phones like the V20.
Instead its the exact same "notch" that is on the iphone X, which I dislike.
Pitiful LG.
