Except these days the camera is a hole in the screen in a mobile phone, so you’d be effectively blocking part of the screen too.
That hole in the screen is always black, so covering up the hole (and only the hole) won’t make you miss a thing.
Those pretty much don’t exist.
Here are the list of phones I trust, in order:
- Librem 5
- PinePhone
- Pixel w/ GrapheneOS
I’m on 3, because 1 & 2 don’t function well enough as phones (need reliable MMS, better audio, and better battery life). The first two have hardware switches, the last is controllable by software I somewhat trust. All three have significant caveats. Once 1 or 2 work properly as phones (don’t even need Android apps), I’ll switch.
Yeah…but usually the the sticker ones with a slide have a space where the cover slides to, and all that space will be over the screen. Unless you want to permanently cover the punch-hole camera.
