Having had a phone with a notch and a phone with a small circle cutout, the notch bothered me and the circle cutout has hardly been an issue. I mean, I'd prefer an uninterrupted screen and a front camera, but I don't like any of the current iterations of retracting selfie cameras, and I need a front camera for video calls.

EDIT:

I forgot about under-screen cameras. My options would be limited to RedMagic phones, Sony phones, and the Samsung Z-Flip. Maybe I'll look into Sony next, since I heard the RedMagic software can be pretty awful.

If you go the way of Sony, in Europe, the 1 VI is heavily discounted and is 99% of the phone the 1 VII is. The VI still gets 3 major android version updates, till 17.
