Went to see the Tab S6 and stopped by the Note10/+. I wanted to see how webpages behave and so I tried to open my website on it. And this (see image) happens.

The whole vertical area along the selfie camera is blacked out. And the rounded corners do not match the other side (S line radius rather than Note line radius).

What was the point in having a "bezel-less" Infinity-O display if it gets hidden? It looks worse than on a Note9. In fact, see for yourself:

Really, why? If even Samsung's apps' behavior is to hide the hole, isn't it admitting that this design is flawed? Wouldn't a full-featured bezel be preferable? With fan-favorite features like a notification LED, secure iris scanner rather than flawed and unsafe 2D selfie face scanning...

If you set it to "Full screen" it should be fine.

That setting is for forcing 16:9 apps to go taller. And it's obvious that the app was already beyond 16:9 which leads me to think that this was the intended behavior

I agree with CH multimedia,it should be on default fullscreen, Samsung has one of best displays... use every pixel of it..
