The raised camera band is bound to be a controversial design choice.
- vadfa 5y agoI don't know why Android OEMs keep thinking they can get away with controversial design choices and high prices as if they were Apple. (not sarcastic :P)
- Grazester 5y agoI remember in the early to mid 2000's when all mobile phones were not the same generic slab of glass and metal/plastic. It was like every phone was "controversial". I miss those design days.
- codr7 5y agoYeah, last thing I want on my phone is stuff sticking out and preventing it from laying flat. The recent camera bevels are bad enough.
- tomtheelder 5y agoI assume the idea is that most cases will allow the phone to sit flush with the table, and most users use a case (no idea if that last part is actually true). And honestly it will sit in a stable way, so it's probably not that big a deal in that sense. It getting caught on my pocket would probably be my biggest concern!
- r00fus 5y agoIf they have a case that negates the bump it's ok. Though TBH even my 12max case (Otterbox is amazing) has a ridge around the camera bump.
- davesque 5y agoThe thing I think sucks about this design decision is that I always like to have a phone case with a card sleeve on the back. Seems like the camera band makes such cases inconvenient or maybe even impossible to design.
