Notch haters rejoice! You will be able to hide the notch on the Pixel 3 XL. As we already know, the current build of Android Pie has this option in the development menu. And Google confirmed in a tweet that they’ve added this option. We’re hoping that by the time the Pixel 3 XL comes out though that it’s in a more visible area. The downside of the current iteration is Google puts the menu bar below the simulated bezel, meaning you get less screen to work with. Here’s hoping they fix this or at least give users an option.
