    Who are the people that care about these things? Everyone’s going to put a case on it anyway.

    If I were in charge of product design we’d have two phones:

    • A tiny one for people who like tiny things
    • A big honkin chonker with a 30-day battery life that could jump start a car that would fit in a man’s pocket no problem

    On one hand, when you put a case on the phone, it’s not as bad.

    On the other hand, that’s a lot of real estate for a bigger battery that’s completely wasted.

      I wonder how much such a thing would weigh. I don’t need/want a week’s worth of battery.

      Still no room for headphone jack

    Well, i hate it. Every single phone I’ve had sucked compared to the one before it, ignoring the capabilities of the soc. I miss my pixel4a compared to my current pixel6a. When I had a galaxy7, I hated it compared to my galaxy2. Nothing compares to the original droid, that was the best phone I ever had.

    Now there’s a new phone? I bet i’ll hate it.

    So this is the idiot we have to blame for the ugly and annoying camera bump. Sad that it seems like there is no going back to a phone with a good design. Camera bumps are awful and not worth the tradeoffs.

    Imagine… a 3+ day battery if the battery thickness would increase to make the back flat.

    Thin phones are NOT the future, long battery life is.
