    I haven’t met a single person in the last 5 years who wanted a slimmer phone. Phones are already slim enough. We just want longer battery life.

      They don’t want them and yet they will buy them. The personal opinion is completely irrelevant to a brand if no action is taken by the opinion holder. If people who want thicker phones bought thicker phones, there’d be more thick phones on the market, yet they buy slim phones so more slim phones are produced.

      Good news for you — everything but the camera bump and the screen is battery. 22 to 27 hours on a full charge. And if that’s not good enough, there’s an external battery you can stick to the back.

        I hear it every time, but most of my phones barely survive a full day’s use. (I’ve used flagships from pretty much every brand. The only ones that have adequate battery life are brands like Oppo and Vivo, but I don’t like them for different reasons.) If they weren’t obsessed about making phones as slim as possible, it should be possible to put in even more battery life, so that people like me (and I’m probably not a minority, I hear people complain about this a lot) could have 30% battery left at the end of a normal day, and could be confident about using their phone more on more demanding days (e.g. need to shoot videos, or long video calls).

        That is not good enough. In fact, I would go so far as to say 22 to 27 hours is insultingly low. Phones used to last a fucking week without a charge. In my opinion, there has yet to be a feature on smartphones that I feel justifies the massive drop in battery life they’ve tried to pass off as “normal” now.

      Yeah, this feels like you could excellently snap it in half, with the camera bump for leverage and everything.

    Who wanted this? People are on their phones for 36 hours a day and yet they’re still trying to make them thinner?

    I just hope they remember bendgate.
