I just wish smartphone makers would try to innovate in other ways. They keep focusing on the cameras and I feel like we've reached a point to where it no longer matters. Cause even budget phones have great ones now. And all of it seems like overkill when most users are just taking pictures for Instagram and Facebook, pictures that are basically downgraded.
Idk, I know there are professionals who use smartphones camera to create content, but it's too much for the average person.
Seems like escalation just for the sake of escalation 😭
Google has always made the fidelity of their cameras their #1 feature and have been an industry leader in this regard, so it's a little odd to get mad at them in particular for iterating on the camera. Also we don't know anything about the phone besides looks, how do you know they aren't innovating in other ways?
In addition, there are many other phones out there innovating in great ways. Samsung has added fingerprint ID on their screen and can charge other devices wirelessly with the S10, Xiaomi has a camera underneath the display, LG G8 has a vibrating OLED screen that functions as a speaker, and Apple has pioneered truly secure FaceID scanner, just to name a few. I'm not sure what else people are expecting in terms of "innovation", when in reality the technology is developing fairly consistently with cameras only being one of the factors.
It's like the back of a car, plenty of people care. I don't personally.
I'd understand if it was bulging out and affecting the aesthetics and literal balance of the phone (it's not). It's as flat and nondescript as if it weren't even there, only calling attention to itself if you slap a case on it, which all phones have cameras there anyway.
