maybe instead of cramming half a lidar rig into this phone we could just use the fingerprint sensor thingy that already basically works?

no! says jony ive, that would be too functional

they've already managed to rationalize working in an industry that is destroying society and directly harming workers, i imagine a little fibbing about product specs isn't insomnia-inducing

if apple can narrow the notch, that would be great. then they can make the X smaller to fit my doll hands

quality of the 3d image is directly related to the distance between the sensors in the notch so unless they want to make face id worse

10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING

quote:

A few pages back there was a tweet with a successor in spirit of the Kyocera Echo. While the Echo came out with a neat concept, the main problem it had was the freaking specs were the same inside as a WiMax EVO not a Samsung S4.

The problem with all the "Gimick" phones is instead of going all in on one to make it have a shot at succeeding, they always seem to half rear end it and doom it to fail because who wants a dual screen phone that will just force close 1/2 of the stuff you are trying to multitask because it has the same CPU/RAM as a phone made 2-4 years prior? The gimick needs hardware to back it up or it is just useless.

The only Gimicks that seem to stick around are Apple's because they do it on the next best hardware and people buy it up. Probably not for the gimick, but because it has the best of everything Apple is putting out and they don't have a choice anyway.

If other Android OEM's would try and take the lead on some sort of future gimick for once, they might surprise themselves that they don't need to copy Apples crappy design decisions to make a phone that will sell.
