Who are the people that care about these things? Everyone's going to put a case on it anyway.
If I were in charge of product design we'd have two phones:
Sure that sounds nice, but where are you going to find a car small enough to fit in a man's pocket?
!dadjokes@lemmy.world, unite!
Seriously. You'd have to settle for a pocket bike, instead.
No room. I’d have to lose a pocket whale.
Heyoooooo!

Dude, this whole website is fucking amazing, one of the phones has a DLP projector built in??? I love it, if only these could run CalyxOS.
Chinese brands are wild and they make the craziest shit
It charges at 66 watts lmfao that's nuts
There's a 240W charging prototype by Otto IIRC
Doesn't most phones go that high these days? The One+ phones has their "warp charge" which maxes out at 65W
No idea, admittedly. I think my pixel 7 only does 30, the new iPhone might do 40w?
Huh, maybe it's just One+ then IDK. But honestly I couldn't care less, my phone always charges overnight, so I have no need for anything more than 5W anyway.
The Chinese brands have generally been the leaders in fast charging tech
They have pretty cool smaller phones, too. Unfortunately they don't have great antennas for my market.
Cases do not hide or offset camera bumps.
Sure they do. My current phone's bump is completely leveled out by the case.
Mine isn't. I want my case to also protect the camera glass, which means it needs to be really thick, which is worse than the bump IMO.
My current case is the Spigen Liquid Air Armor, which I like a lot because it doesn't make the phone very thick, but it still has the annoying bump.
They make the contrast smaller because they don't go over the bump. Also they can integrate it more seemlessly than this sharp 90 degrees angle.
You can get cases like that, but then open yourself up to damage to the bump. I personally use the Spigen Liquid Air, which is relatively thin and protects the bump as well, but it does nothing to minimize the bump.
I beg to differ. Wood phone cases hide the bump by increasing the total thickness of the phone and making the back nice and flat.
What do you mean?
It sounded good in their head
