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.
Google’s head of Pixel 9 design won’t apologize for its big, beautiful camera bump

I wonder how much such a thing would weigh. I don’t need/want a week’s worth of battery.
Plopp@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’d take two days of battery over a hideous camera bump any day.

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?
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Motorola Droid (the entire lineup) yeah. Different phones but 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.

I miss my Nexus One.

I still have mine. Sucks they killed all the bands for it.

Galaxy S3 was peak design imo.

It was inspired by those smooth pebbles you’d see in a river bed, as I recall.

I am still using a pixel 3xl and probably will until the battery dies.

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.

I am waiting for the egg shaped phone that somehow has sharp edges and remains slippery when dry.

That ship sailed once the headphone jack was removed.

Nobody at Google ever admits anything they do is wrong or evil. What’s new?
UnityDevice@startrek.website 2 months ago
At least it’s symmetrical so it won’t rock, unlike every other phone out there now.

“News”
Kbobabob@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Does it have to be “News”?
From the about page:
This is a most excellent’ place for technology news and articles.

It’s just not very interesting, is it?
yopla@jlai.lu 2 months ago
Just throw an arri LPL mount on the pixel 10, so I can mount my 45-132 T2.8 lens on it and call it a bump.

Imagine… a 3+ day battery if the battery thickness would increase to make the back flat.
Thin phones are NOT the future, long battery life is.

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:

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.

It charges at 66 watts lmfao that’s nuts
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

Cases do not hide or offset camera bumps.
erwan@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
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.
