I blame Apple for everyone's obsession with size. Or really, thinness, as everyone seems to have pop tart phones as thin and fragile as glass--with such a large phone, what value does thinness really add? I'd rather have a less delicate, easily serviceable, thicker phone.
- jjcm 3y agoHave we forgotten about the Motorola RAZR? Thinness obsession was a thing long before Apple entered the game.
- marcosdumay 3y agoWhatever the culprit, I would really like my next phone to be thicker than its camera¹. This is such a bullshit design, but every single phone manufacturer adopted it. 1 - Without paying 4 times more. I don't think I can get it even paying 4 times more nowadays, but this was always how phone manufacturers lied about the features they wanted to push, by offering an alternative that costs 4 to 10 times more and using it to show nobody wants it.
- RobotToaster 3y agoNot to mention a thicker phone could have a bigger battery in the first place.
- upon_drumhead 3y agoHave you purchased a fair phone? They exist promising that exact product and yet I've never come across a single person that actually purchased what they claim to want. Personally, I love the thin phones. I'd pay extra for it. It feels better and is easier carried. And the large screen makes it easily readable for my poor eyes.
- Moldoteck 3y agoI would have bought a fairphone in a second if they had camera performance similar to pixel 2/3 or 7. And no, gcam port is not a solution sadly( as usual- people want both nice software and hardware and fairphone has nice hardware but software isn't that good
- COGlory 3y agoI'd buy one, even with poor performance, if it was available in the US.
- bluSCALE4 3y agoThen your blame would be ill placed. If anything, Apple is to blame for fragile phones. They're the ones that introduced glass rear covers with the 6 I believe. But in terms of thinness, the thinnest phone I recall was the Galaxy S3.
- cududa 3y agoThey already sell Android phones like this. They're cheaper than iPhones and have more features, like FLIR cameras. Why not just buy this instead of forcing your preferences, which, clearly the majority of people don't agree with, or they'd buy these phones. https://www.catphones.com/en-us/cat-s62-pro-smartphone/ https://www.catphones.com/en-us/cat-s62-pro-smartphone/
