I don't need a paper thin phone. I need a phone with a battery that lasts all day when actively using my phone non-stop with everything on and the screen at maximum brightness.
I would also like a phone that doesn't fall out of my hand because there's not enough of it to actually hold on to, and what there is is polished completely smooth.
and (I'd like to add) the ability to change said battery when it, inevitably dies, and the I also want a minimum of 6 years of security update.
Also, I absolutely do not need the newest shiniest hardware. I want something that can handle WhatsApp/Signal encryption. YouTube playback would be nice, doesn't need to be 1080, 720p is absolutely enough on a phone. And frigging security updates for more than a few years. Can we please figure this shit out.
Apparently the Galaxy A16 5G gets 6 years of updates.
So do some of the pixel series phones, and those you can install a privacy respecting OS (GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, for example).
Yeah pixels are great in that regard. But they are flagship phones with latest and greatest hardware costing a ton of money.
Agreed. Make the phones ⅛ in - ¼ (3.18mm - 6.35mm) thicker and use all the extra space for a bigger battery! Virtually everyone throws a case on their phone anyways, so it's not going to be a very noticeable size difference anyways.
