Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they've added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn't excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it's not because we've perfected them or some shit, it's because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.

Yep, this is why my next phone will be a Fairphone with their OS, or a Unihertz or something. I miss the old days where a different brand of phone meant a totally different OS, and there were loads of brands.

camera phones

Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it's on the phone's backside.
