The Redmi K20 Pro, which is yet to make a proper international debut retained fourth, just edging out the rising... |
| Weekly poll: what's the best position for a punch hole camera? Posted: 23 Jun 2019 12:00 PM PDT  While pop-up cameras have become quite common, a punch hole selfie camera is still the "2019 way" to get rid of the notch. The Samsung Galaxy S10 has a hole in the top right of its screen, the Huawei nova 5i in the top left and we've been seeing rumors of a centered punch hole on the Galaxy Note10. Which is the best position? It may seem like a trivial distinction, but it's not - it's about finding the right balance.
