Move over notch, the hole-punch smartphone camera is coming

First it was the notch, now the hole-punch has emerged as the latest tech for concealing selfie cameras whilst keeping our smartphones as free of bezel as possible to maximize the screen space. This week, Samsung and Huawei both unveiled new phones that dispense with the iconic "notch" -- pioneered by Apple but popularized by everyone -- in favor of positioning the front-facing camera in a small "Infinity-O" hole located on the top-left side of the screen. Dubbed hole-punch, the approach is part of Samsung’s new Galaxy A8s and Huawei's View 20, which were unveiled hours apart on Tuesday.
