Nice! I’m on tmo is there a decent Graphene OS rom for the fair phone?

I really wish quadlock would make a case but I suppose I can just print one.

When is the industry going to recognize that the camera needs to be flush with the back?

This is ridiculous

Literally nobody who cares about their phone is rawdogging it. It’s a perfectly sane design assuming there will be a case.

I refuse to put anything on my phone, she as naked as the day I got her.

Why? It’s better to have the part most likely to suffer damage also be replaceable

If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn’t we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?

Then they can’t advertise that the phone is x.x mm thick (if you ignore the thickest part!)

Yes, but then it would be slightly heavier and have way too good of a battery life, reducing power bank sales and having the phone last longer without needing to be replaced due to battery degradation.

Mine does that when I put a cover on my phone.

The cover is on the same level as the camera as there’s a cutout on that bit.

Your cover increases battery life?

Also, fingerprint scanners don’t belong behind the screen.

Unless you have the greasiest fingers of anyone who ever lived, they just don’t work. I have to lick my fingers to make it see them…

As my grandmother used to tell me, “Your hands are dry, go lotion them up sonny.”

And from that point on, Granny never did question why lil’ Petey bought lube by the 55gal drum load.

At least his hands, amongst other things, were soft and well moisturized.

Give it a few more years. At this rate, by 2028, the entire back of the phone will be camera bump and you’ll be able to lay it down on a flat surface at last.

Wonder if Mr. Mobile caved too…

From what I’ve read, it’s those who are “#teampixel” which he doesn’t seem to be no longer part of the program.

Give his recent video a watch and decide whether he’s caved or not - i don’t think it’s as plain as mkbhf

The Option to install Graphene OS onto the Pixel do be a very good argument for it.

I’ll always be distrustful of Google hardware, but yes. I’ve been considering a Pixel as my next.

GOS is still not for everyone.

So just because my car has the ability to tow a trailer it is bad? The pixel gives everyone that wants to the possibility to install a custom ROM, which is great because not every phone allows this.

Yeah that’s what has put me off getting a new Samsung phone as a free upgrade even though they have better specs. They all have the stupid Snapdragon processors.

So because it’s not literally for everyone, nobody can share an opinion about it?

Weird take.
