I have a OnePlus 7T Pro, and I love the pop-up front camera. I don't have an annoying notch or hole in the screen, and the screen is the full height of the phone. I've never had any issues with reliability.

They only used it on the 7 range, and moved to a hole punch camera for subsequent models. I'm holding out as long as I can before upgrading phones because of it.

I feel the same about my Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 (one of the last phones that still fully supported google/android) - it too has a pop-up camera. Recently I started looking at phones again and I was shocked that nearly everything out there has either a pinhole or notch on the screen.

It feels surreal that this was normalized. It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. It's both crazy and frustrating. Sigh... these are the same companies making decisions about our future in so many little (and big) ways.
