“News”
Does it have to be “News”?
From the about page:
This is a most excellent’ place for technology news and articles.
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
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.
Sure that sounds nice, but where are you going to find a car small enough to fit in a man’s pocket?
!dadjokes@lemmy.world, unite!
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
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.
I miss my Nexus One.
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.
Nobody at Google ever admits anything they do is wrong or evil. What’s new?
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.
Yeah, I have the Pixel 8 and the camera bump is annoying. I wish they’d make a slim version with a crappier camera, because I honestly don’t use it much and would prefer a sleeker phone. My old Moto G Power was fantastic for this, but unfortunately it’s out of SW support, and I would really rather not switch my phone again just because SW support ended.
I really want a PinePhone, but the SW support for features I need leaves a lot to be desired.
