Not sure if you get it in the US the same as in the UK, but I find that even just squash is good with carbonated water, e.g. orange squash. Cheaper than syrups and it tastes good with still water too!

I have a OnePlus 7T Pro, and I love the pop-up front camera. I don’t have an annoying notch or hole in the screen, and the screen is the full height of the phone. I’ve never had any issues with reliability.

They only used it on the 7 range, and moved to a hole punch camera for subsequent models. I’m holding out as long as I can before upgrading phones because of it.
