I’m someone with relatively small hands, plus I want my phone to be on the smaller side since I prefer to use my tablet/computer/tv to watch content. But this trend where many manufacturers tend to keep futures away from smaller phones to drive people to bigger phones is driving me crazy and really makes it hard for me to buy a new phone. I can understand not having everything like maybe a periscope lens or something else that is cost etc. but not to this level. Like take Samsung for example: S24 lacks uwb, 45w, a 1440p display, has a lower amount of ram and storage. Why? Why can’t the s24 have faster charging or uwb? Why is there no 512 version and why does it have to start with 128gb storage? Is it not a flagship? It costs 949€ in my place! Why do I have to give 200€ more to get the s24+ just to get these simple features? I don’t want a bigger phone! Google does the same! No uwb, no thermometer sensor, no telephoto lens. And don’t get me started with all the software features google is keeping for the 8 pro like they don’t have the same processor. Why? Are they cheap? No they are not. I’m just really annoyed by this cause I really don’t want such a big phone.
I like bigger phones, but I hate camera bumps.
Just make the damn thing thicker and flat on the back.
I miss my note 9, the last flat backed flagship phone.
maybe just get a case?
I consider cases an unfortunately necessary evil.
I prefer to go raw most of the time.
But wouldn’t a case do exactly what you want? It would make the damn thing thicker and flat on the back.
I’d prefer an easily removable battery, headphone jack, upgradable storage, etc etc. not just a thin phone with a thick case on it.
Look! The strawman stopped arguing their point, did not concede their point, and instead started making up all new arguments about things completely unrelated to the original complaint.
Next they’ll start trying to argue that it’s actually totally relevant to the original point. Lol
It would, but why not make the phone larger and add more battery?
I’ve never heard someone say “my phone has too much battery”
You don’t. But, people do complain about the weight and thickness. Personally, larger batteries(above 5000mah) which also charge super fast(120w) is the way to go.
No one complaint about the thickness and if you were to put a ratio on it, I’d say for every twenty people who I hear complain about battery life, one complains about weight.
That’s being generous. I’ve never (unless you count this one) had a conversation with anyone who has complained about a phone weighing too much.
Batteries lose a minute amount of capacity each charge cycle, and a bit just from “time”. If they put a battery in your phone that could start off lasting two days of pretty heavy use, then the charge cycles would reduce (less battery wear) and the usable life (even at half capacity it would still last an entire day) would significantly grow. So the real reason Apple or Samsung doesn’t give you a big battery is because the planned obsolescence would go from a few years to like five years, and they want to sell you more phones than that.
At least, Samsung’s are not that big. Look at iphone pro or the OnePlus xdd
