Top smartphone models on the market have notches on the top of the display, just like the iPhone X which really started trend for this solution. Everything indicates that the popularity of the notch is slowly passing - more and more users are more likely to buy phones without this solution on the display, and these opinions don't go unnoticed by phone manufacturers. That's why all indications are that HMD will resign from notches in their smartphones in the near future.
Based on the information that appeared on the Internet a few days ago, we can say that Nokia 8.1, so basically Nokia X7 in the global variant, is planned to be the last HMD's phone with a notch at the top of the screen. Another smartphone which will appear on the market after the premiere of Nokia 8.1 is probably Nokia 6.2. This smartphone is going to be presented at the beginning of next year - most of journalists say about January 2019.
