Built in camera and video capture has improved an incredible amount. I think the value this provides to people with modern "phones" is pretty significant.

- oldcynic 9y agoSo why can't someone innovate on form factor a little? Ever thinner candy bars cannot be the ultimate destination in ergonomics. Someone offer me a thicker smart phone with a great camera, xenon flash (like Sony Ericsson once did with feature phones) and removable battery. With the amount of improvement to smartphone lenses a few more mm of case would maybe even allow a zoom. If I don't like some of the experiments? That's rather the point.

- brokenmachine 9y agoI'm still stuck on a 5-year old Galaxy Note 3 because it has a removable battery. The Note 4 was the last one to have a removable battery. Eventually I'll have to give up and buy a new phone but literally nothing is released with a removable battery these days. I don't care if my phone is 2mm thicker, I want the ability to replace the battery because it is a consumable item that will need replacement. No company seems to want my $1k for a new phone.
- maneesh 9y agoWhy don't you build it? As a consumer electronics company founder, I've noticed it's so easy to say "the other guys are idiots why don't they offer me what I want exactly." It's because hardware is hard. So if you want something made exactly your way, why don't you just build it? It's never been easier than now to build a hardware product. And the software here is majority open source.
