It's a similar to the Samsung Galaxy A16 the only thing that has been improved or changed as the new camera units layout it's now different asposed to the individual rings of the A16

I'm disappointed about the notch why can't they just feature the infinity o display.

Yes on the more budget phones. It's cheaper to manufacture.

What's the difference between the proximity sensor and virtual

The virtual one is basically the software guessing the light and turning the phone off during calls, the more expensive one is an actual sensor in the device usually in the flagships. The virtual sensor is not bad however can sometimes be slow to respond accordingly.

Ever been on a call, drop the call and remove the device from your ear and the screen is still off for a few seconds? That's most likely a virtual sensor.

I doubt Samsung will ditch the U notch on the budget devices. That's where their 2nd bread is.
