    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

    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.

    At least it’s symmetrical so it won’t rock, unlike every other phone out there now, including the one I’m typing on.

      The little bump on my iPad mini drives me fucking mad. I want to be able to put in on a desk and write on it, but no, fuck me. The case I have bulges slightly in the middle, meaning it still doesn’t sit flat.

      I don’t even use the camera on the iPad, because I’m not a lunatic.

    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.

      Does it have to be “News”?

      From the about page:

      This is a most excellent’ place for technology news and articles.

    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.

    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
