You have wrong information, no notch doesn't cut part of your photos, videos or about anything else either. Photos can't get even close to the notch, very wrong aspect ratio. If you want to enjoy photos in fullscreen reaching notch, you would loose a lot of the photo from top and bottom because it would go out of the screen because it doesn't fit into screen.

Minimal side bezels sure, but a bezel along the top and bottom for speakers and sensors are plenty. No one asked for a god aweful notch to protude into the viewing area. Put a notch at the top of your widescreen tv and try to tell me it looks good.
"Use your preferred method to navigate to Android settings on your Google Pixel 3 XL.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and tap on System.
Within System, tap the first option — About Phone.
Within About Phone, scroll all the way to the bottom where you’ll see your device’s build number.
Repeatedly tap on your build number about six or seven times.
Eventually, you’ll be asked to re-enter your PIN. Enter it.
You’ll see a notification that says, “You are now a developer!”
Head back now to the System page where you should see Developer Options (if you don’t, tap the Advanced toggle).
Within Developer Options, you’ll see a ton of settings. You’re looking for the one that says Device Cutout.
Tap on Device Cutout, and then tap Hide."
And Yes this is true, it's very clear that google doesn't want you to hide it. Which is well very stupid idea anyway.
Pixel 3 looks waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the 3XL. The XL looks like a cheap ripoff where they doubled the notch's size by mistake just before confirming the design.
