What's better? Thinner phones or stronger screens?
- christophilus 5y agoStronger screens.
- 8organicbits 5y agoScreens that are not cracked, whatever the needed strength and thickness may be.
- R0b0t1 5y agoThe very marginal increase in thinness is pointless. They should be going with unbreakable screens.
- rdtwo 5y agoCheaper
- GekkePrutser 5y agoDon't forget there's an incentive for manufacturers to make sure phones don't last forever..
- Grakel 5y agoSufficient thinness was reached like ten years ago. Imagine the battery life we could have.
- LeoPanthera 5y agoGive me a phone twice as thick as my iPhone and stuff it full of batteries and better antennas, and remove the camera bump. I will buy.
- Gigachad 5y agoThickness isn’t as much of an issue as weight is. I spent a while holding the 13 pro and 13 pro max and found the pro max to just be uncomfortably heavy.
- apatheticonion 5y agoFully agree with this sentiment. I already have a case on my phone that nearly doubles its thickness. Most phones have screen protectors which more than double the thickness of the screen glass - that said, screen protectors are cool in that they are disposable in the event of scratching. But I would much prefer a Pixel phone that's thicker if that means it has better battery life and reception. The Pixel 6a THIC.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoDamn it remove the camera and I’ll buy :)
- megablast 5y agoSo put a big case on it??
- astrange 5y agoYou can get that with a battery case. Complaining about phones getting thinner is a bit odd when iPhones haven’t gotten thinner in ~5 years.
- ezconnect 5y agoThey will not make it since it will be more expensive, reasoning there's more materials on it. Selling accessories is more profitable.
- TheSpiceIsLife 5y agoI’ve ordered a Ulefone Power Armor 13. 6.8” display, 20.8mm thick, 492 grams, 13,200mAh battery. https://m.ulefone.com/power-armor-13.html?PageName=specs https://m.ulefone.com/power-armor-13.html?PageName=specs My iPhone 7 battery lasts about two hours of mixed use browsing / app use. Will get the battery replaced when the tank arrives, I’m just over Apples lack of options with regard to battery size at anything like a reasonable price.
- watersb 5y agoI can't use an Ulephone on Verizon, which is the only carrier in town that can deal with gnarly mountain terrain. Very difficult cell carrier coverage situation. Friend of mine was really happy with his Ulephone, great value if it works for you.
- marderfarker2 5y agoEnergizer made phones fitting those specs exactly but it didn’t fly off the shelves.
- romwell 5y agoYou can get Moto G Power with a 2-day battery life[1], and it's not even thick. [1]https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/motorola-moto-g-power-2022 https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/motorola-moto-g-power-2022
