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

I’d take two days of battery over a hideous camera bump any day.

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

Sure that sounds nice, but where are you going to find a car small enough to fit in a man’s pocket?

Seriously. You’d have to settle for a pocket bike, instead.

Dude, this whole website is fucking amazing, one of the phones has a DLP projector built in??? I love it, if only these could run CalyxOS.

Doesn’t most phones go that high these days? The One+ phones has their “warp charge” which maxes out at 65W

There’s a 240W charging prototype by Otto IIRC

They have pretty cool smaller phones, too. Unfortunately they don’t have great antennas for my market.

Cases do not hide or offset camera bumps.

They make the contrast smaller because they don’t go over the bump. Also they can integrate it more seemlessly than this sharp 90 degrees angle.

You can get cases like that, but then open yourself up to damage to the bump. I personally use the Spigen Liquid Air, which is relatively thin and protects the bump as well, but it does nothing to minimize the bump.

Sure they do. My current phone’s bump is completely leveled out by the case.

Mine isn’t. I want my case to also protect the camera glass, which means it needs to be really thick, which is worse than the bump IMO.

My current case is the Spigen Liquid Air Armor, which I like a lot because it doesn’t make the phone very thick, but it still has the annoying bump.

I beg to differ. Wood phone cases hide the bump by increasing the total thickness of the phone and making the back nice and flat.

That sounds subjective, in that case just down vote and move on, no point in trying to find the right answer here.

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.

Was the droid that one that goes “DROID!” in a robotic voice when you turn it on?

Motorola Droid (the entire lineup) yeah. They kickstarted androids popularity. My father had one, by my suggestion. A friend had one in my hs days.

The HTC Dream/T-Mo G1 (another friend had one of those as well) started it all, but the advertising that moto had was the real push.
