Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they’ve added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn’t excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it’s not because we’ve perfected them or some shit, it’s because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.
Why are all “modern” phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it’s on the phone’s backside.
Because different lenses are good at different things. On a three-lens setup, one is usually a telephoto lens for distance, another is a standard wide-angle lens for normal photography, and the third is an ultrawide angle for capturing more of a scene and for macro ultra-close-up photography.
Also you can film in 3D using two of the three.
Multiple lenses are a big part of why phone images are as high quality as they are these days.
And the one on the front is obvious, it enables things like video chat, selfies, and sometimes facial recognition (though that can also work by infrared and lidar).
all that effort and all I care about is scanning QR codes :(
But many people don’t use any of those features. I get that many do, but every single smartphone with features I require has them.
They actually track this and most people 51%+ use their phones for video calling, so you’re in the minority
Huh, really? Do you remember where you read this?
Planet earth?
100% with you on this. All I need is a QR code scanner. I don’t care about the pixel count, I want everything in my phone to be in performance / screen quality
Actually even for qr codes the pixel count (or rather camera quality) makes a huge difference. Got a new phone last year with much better camera then previous. Suddenly during presentations i didn’t need to awkwardly semi stand up and try to get closer. Just recognized the code immediately
I think it has more to do with compute speed. I have a trash camera but high-end CPU on my device, QR codes are instantaneous
I found out that they give military personnel such phones.
Oh no, I think I might’ve missed my chance, then.
But seriously, I have abslutely no use for a “selfie camera” & feel uncomfortable with the whole concept of having a camera constantly facing you. At least with laptops it’s easier to put something in front. Even with a back-facing camera, its use is very limited & would prefer to be without one, let alone a handful.
Yep, this is why my next phone will be a Fairphone with their OS, or a Unihertz or something. I miss the old days where a different brand of phone meant a totally different OS, and there were loads of brands.
Maybe my next phone (I hope)
