This goddamn camera built into my screen instead of above the screen pisses me off so fucking much. So often I have to move a picture down to read the top of it.

IT'S BLOCKING MY MEMES GOD FUCKING DAMMIT MY MEMES

Hey man, I know this is a rant, but in case you didn't know there should be a setting to resize things to make a black bar at the top. Google it for your phone, but for samsung it's something like "full sceeen apps".

Holy crap that did it! Thank you!!

That seems like a weird thing to want. You'll have less screen space because the notification area is now using your useable screen area instead of being up in the unusable dead space.

Not actually how it works. There's two options. One of them has the notifications in the "dead space", but the content never gets eaten up.

(Pinging @EdibleFriend@lemmy.world , just in case you didn't know about this!)

I wouldn't use this myself. Most apps are designed so content fits underneath the camera hole so nothing gets eaten, and even if it does get eaten, the camera is so small that it's not an issue for me

Edit: this is what you have to enable, by the way.
Android menu: "Display cutout", with the "Render apps below cutout area" option enabled

People look at me like I'm fucking insane when I get as upset about the blighted notch on my screen as I do. This screen technically has more real estate than my Razer Phone 2 back in 2018 did, but between the obnoxiously tall aspect ratio and the fucking notch, it has like 75% of the usable screen space. You know what was really nice? Watching TV shows on my RP2, with the 6" screen, all of which was used for the video. You know what sucks? Having a half inch of black bars on either side of the screen so that the 16:9 aspect ratio video can fit on the 18:9 aspect ratio screen. And it's even more ass than that, because the top and bottom of the video look like shit because the screen wraps around the fucking sides.

If the FBI could hear what I have to say about the engineers at samsung, I would have been arrested years ago

How often do you come across tall pictures? Most pictures sit well below the camera for me

At least a couple times a day
