But really, What do you need more cpu power on the phone for? email, whatsapp and a browser is about everything I can envision my phone for. Nothing innovative I can think of is going to change anything about what people use and need their phone for. Not that I'm against progress, better screens, lower latencies and faster loading are always appreciated.
- daxelrod 6y agoFor many people, their phone is their primary computing device. Sometimes their only computing device. Large numbers of people use their phones for games, video/photo editing, videoconferencing (which can involve real time image processing for virtual backgrounds and appearance filters). At the low end of the phone market, phone hardware performs significantly better today than it did two years ago for those tasks.
- Out_of_Characte 6y agoI guess I'm far from the target audience, video/photo editing anything bigger than cropping images and text supplements is going to feel frustrating on a mobile phone. Mobile Games always felt suboptimal for me and I wouldn't buy a phone based on gaming performance (Is that a thing?) Realtime img processing is an interesting one. I dont see any precedent that that's a big usecase, most people just set and forget zoom calls but you've brought up a good feature.
