My biggest complaint is that the lenses aren’t flush with the back. I hate having cases on my phone, and their design makes wireless charging somewhat useless because it’s not flush with the charging mat.
- spicymaki 2y agoThey would if they could. Optical physics is one factor that prevents the lenses from being flush with the back. If you want to support advanced optical features the lenses need depth.
- stroupwaffle 2y agoMakes sense. Instead of having a flat back, it might be kind of neat to have it slope like a “wedge” shape. It would actually make the phone more comfortable in the hands too because they could improve the weight balance.
- sfjailbird 2y agoAlways wondered why they don't do this. Just a subtle sloping of the edge around the lense, so the phone is flush with the table it is lying on.
- 93po 2y agoit's ugly and 99% of people dont care
- Zee2 2y agoThe original Google Pixel (2016) was exactly this shape. No camera bump with a wedge profile.
- actionfromafar 2y agoSo put a periscope in there. Or synthesise the image from 48 tiny cameras in a grid.
- alpaca128 2y agoBut they could at least make the bump symmetrical so the phone doesn't wobble when used on a table.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoI’d be happy if they sold little furniture feet already the correct height
- andrewla 2y agoSure -- but they could make the phone thicker so that the bump is flush, and fill the rest with batteries.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoThats the thing, I don’t care about the optical features they rolled out. I have an interchangeable lens camera that is the tool for that job, 10 years old and still works great.
