With the way smartphones are progressing, in terms of tech, we can clearly see companies experimenting with different front-camera modules and fewer bezels. Right now, we’re clearly seeing the evolution of the notch. First, we saw the normal notch in iPhone X then came the water drop notch and after that punch-hole. Last year, Apple featured another cool notch which raised many eyebrows. Apple featured the pill-shaped notch in iPhone 14 Pro models which it calls the Dynamic Island.
Here are the three phones with a pill-shaped notch:
