didn't read the article because it wants me to disable adblock
but wow, the title really triggers me
do normalfriends really do nothing else besides take pictures and videos with their phones?
Why would you want less if you are buying a top of the line phone? Because people sure as hell aren't buying a flagship just for phone calls and texts. Camera has pretty much become the gold standard for comparing phones these days.
I want the effort that would otherwise go into making camera even better to go into making other aspects of phone better.
Figure me out a better battery instead, give me more features that make my phone capable of doing tasks that can currently be done only on computer, stuff like that.
Samsung has been doing a lot of great things with their flagships these days, but I begrudgingly switched back to a Pixel last year mainly for the camera. Their cameras weren't bad by any means, and there are some limited situations where I actually preferred them, but they just didn't feel as consistent and dependable as other flagships.
If the S24 brings a more competitive camera to the table, sign me up.
Have you seen Sony's recent phones? I've been using them the last couple years and I'll never go back. Finger-removable SD card, headphone jack, notification LED, etc
I think they're some of the best phones available right now, but sadly they rival the iphone in price.
They release their phones for some silly high price, it gets criticised for it in reviews, then 3 months later you can get it for hundreds less, but the damage has already been done, the reviews have already been tainted by the bad pricing.
I appreciate the tech in Sony's phones, but I haven't seen anything that I would be excited to use in my daily driver. No shade to anyone who prefers them, they look like great devices for a niche but their product philosophy is just very different from the mass appeal that Samsung and Google lean towards.
I'd love if they named and priced their phones in a way that made it easily known which range is which Xperia Z used to be the flagship top of the line, then they numbered on top of that.
Now it is numbers and then numerals, wtf. Which phone is the best spec!?
