It is notch and you have to accept it

However, this is not the same camera, but refined, which seems to be confirmed by DxOMark Mobiles. There, the grade was issued in the form of 99 points, and 105 points for taking photos. A combination of 12 Mpix sensors was used here. There is also a Dual Pixel autofocus or 4-axis OIS. Above the screen there is a 20 Mpix camera / f / 2.0.
