The removal of bezels on phones, the camera cutouts sometimes have issues and its all together worse, just for a technically larger screen, and Apps, so many apps are just packaged web browsers, but with more access to private information and such.
I don’t understand why they need the have the lenses in a bump. Just make the phone a bit thicker with a bigger battery
Yes this is so dumb. Razor thin phone with massive camera bumps. Who is asking for this?
Especially when the first thing you do is get a case to protect the cameras and make the phone sit level on a table
I think that's kind of the thing. They can't physically make the camera any smaller, but they assume you're going to make the phone thicker with a case. So it's a compromise based on customer preference.
Well ideally they would just make the phone more durable without a case, and the full thickness of the camera filled with battery, headphone jack, etc.
Seriously so much smartphone design is based on initial appeal, not actual usability.
For me, the issue isn't just about durability, it's also about how a cheap clear TPU case is way grippier than the metal or glass of the phone itself.
The thinner the phone, the less room for the battery. Is that really such a good idea?
I love my Xperia, still has bezels and it makes the phone easier to hold imo
