You want bigger everything and less weight.
???
Xperia VI (which is small and light for a modern phone) is heavier than the Galaxy S3.
The Xperia is much larger than an S3.
Xperia 162 x 74 x 8.2 mm weight 192 grams 98000 mm^3
S3 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm 133 grams 83000mm^3
But not twice as large.
It doesn't weigh twice as much.
The only thing that would significantly add to the weight is a bigger battery and even there new battery tech has come out that is lighter than the existing lithium ion battery tech so its possible to have a bigger battery with less weight
You said get rid of camera bump. That means making the entire device thicker because of the limits of optics. Batteries are already around 25% of the total weight so doubling battery life would increase weight 25%.
Sounds good to me, I think the camera bump is one of the dumbest design decisions modern phone designers have forced on us. Just make the thing a uniform thickness, gives them room to put back those things they removed in the quest for more thinness, which they never could have really done because of the optics.
I lost my fingerprint reader on the back because they wanted to go thinner and I'm stuck with the significantly worse screen reader, all so I could get a phone that's more awkward to lay down without a case that effectively limits or eliminates the bump anyway, so nothing has been gained.
I agree. It's just the "Make it bigger and lighter" doesn't make sense. If you remove the camera bump and fill it with battery you have a much heavier phone.
Well, more battery isn't the only thing they could put in there... Like said, I'd love my fingerprint scanner on the back again (even if I've stopped using it to unlock my phone... Thanks, dystopian hellscape the US has turned into...)
