Okay guys, so already its a sad thing that among all other top high end android phones, the Google Pixel 3 XL has to be one of those that comes with a notch, and this time, it is not just any kind of notch, but a very big and ugly notch that cuts very deep into the phone’s display.

But one thing is sure, and that thing is, for every situation or problem you find yourself in, there must always be a solution to it, or a way out. And that is the case with the Google Pixel 3 XL.. There is actually a way that we can use to turn off the notch, or hide the notch in this case on the Google Pixel 3 XL, and that can only be done by tinkering with the developers settings option on the phone.

The reason why it has to be this way is because, Google never included a native way of turning off the notch on its Pixel phone.. Maybe they never wanted us to be able to turn it off.
