    [Poll Results!] Would you like to see the iPhone X’s notch on the Galaxy S9?

    There's no denying the fact the Infinity Display that debuted on board the Galaxy S8 is fantastic, but ever since Apple took the wraps off the iPhone X, we've noticed a number of readers request that Samsung adopts a similar near-bezel-less notch design for the upcoming Galaxy S9, because they believe it's more immersive.

    Until we've seen the iPhone X for ourselves, we won't be able to say whether that's the case. What we can say, however, is that we're huge fans of the design of the Galaxy S8, and there's a good chance the notch will make it a little less user-friendly, as it eliminates the bezels used to hold the unit when watching videos.

    We’d love to know whether you'd like to see the iPhone X's notch on the Galaxy S9, so be sure to cast a vote in the poll below, then feel free to expand on your answer in the comments section. Come on, let’s get a conversation going! As usual, we’ll be responding to comments submitted over on Twitter.

    Poll Results: The majority (76%) of voters think Samsung should retain the design of the Galaxy S8 for the Galaxy S9, while 9% are happy for it to introduce a variant with a notch as long as it releases a model with a standard Infinity Display. The same amount of people, however, would be happy with a notch-only version.
