Bigger battery, more ergonomic grip, less camera bump, better thermal regulation, less weight, nobody wants a thinner phone
The camera bump is insane. Scratching the lens every time you place your phone on a solid surface. I have to find a specific phone case where the lip around the camera is high enough that it’s at least the same level as the lens.
Same. I've actually cracked a camera lense from a very unlucky drop. This was before waterproofing, because that phone died in a pool.
The camera continued to work, mostly. There were certain angles that would cause lense flare that would make J.J. Abrams jealous.
Maybe the lense is harder now but why risk it.
And a screen small enough that I can reach the whole thing with my thumb — I have very large hands (and pockets) and find my phone very awkward to hold.
And no AI features.
Best we can do is Liquid Ass.
It doesn't check all of those points, however a good number of them fit the new Sony Xperia, they have two models, one that's more powerful and expensive and a cheaper (€400) model.
I'm sick of my Samsung tbh, have had them for a while now, but as soon as I saw that the Sony phones have a headphone jack and Micro SD slot I'm sold for my next phone. No camera hole punch either (I'm not a fan of it, I can understand people liking it though).
Can you buy Sony phones in the US directly or do you need to import them, it's sad how uncompetitive the US tech market is, the government has basically banned most Asian brands from selling in the US
I have the Xperia 1 VI and absolutely love it
We hear you, and added another Animoji meanwhile!
Next year we might allow you to change glass color OR opacity, who knows when the wonders will cease?
I want both options. So at least one person wants a thinner phone.
You want bigger everything and less weight.
???
The only thing that would significantly add to the weight is a bigger battery and even there new battery tech has come out that is lighter than the existing lithium ion battery tech so its possible to have a bigger battery with less weight
You said get rid of camera bump. That means making the entire device thicker because of the limits of optics. Batteries are already around 25% of the total weight so doubling battery life would increase weight 25%.
Xperia VI (which is small and light for a modern phone) is heavier than the Galaxy S3.
The Xperia is much larger than an S3.
