I like bigger phones, but I hate camera bumps.
Just make the damn thing thicker and flat on the back.
I miss my note 9, the last flat backed flagship phone.
maybe just get a case?
I consider cases an unfortunately necessary evil.
I prefer to go raw most of the time.
But wouldn't a case do exactly what you want? It would make the damn thing thicker and flat on the back.
I'd prefer an easily removable battery, headphone jack, upgradable storage, etc etc. not just a thin phone with a thick case on it.
Look! The strawman stopped arguing their point, did not concede their point, and instead started making up all new arguments about things completely unrelated to the original complaint.
Next they'll start trying to argue that it's actually totally relevant to the original point. Lol
It would, but why not make the phone larger and add more battery?
I've never heard someone say "my phone has too much battery"
You don't. But, people do complain about the weight and thickness. Personally, larger batteries(above 5000mah) which also charge super fast(120w) is the way to go.
No one complaint about the thickness and if you were to put a ratio on it, I'd say for every twenty people who I hear complain about battery life, one complains about weight.
That's being generous. I've never (unless you count this one) had a conversation with anyone who has complained about a phone weighing too much.
Batteries lose a minute amount of capacity each charge cycle, and a bit just from "time". If they put a battery in your phone that could start off lasting two days of pretty heavy use, then the charge cycles would reduce (less battery wear) and the usable life (even at half capacity it would still last an entire day) would significantly grow. So the real reason Apple or Samsung doesn't give you a big battery is because the planned obsolescence would go from a few years to like five years, and they want to sell you more phones than that.

At least, Samsung's are not that big. Look at iphone pro or the OnePlus xdd
