I want a reasonably thin and light smartphone, not one that is paper thin and light as air. If manufacturers want to boast of their technological prowess, they should enhance their technology to solve environmental problems rather than thinness and lightness.
These days some phones are so thin they are even awkward to hold... specially when they have the rounded display around the edges, sometimes I press the touchscreen edges by mistake when holding it. And thin profiles make the cameras stick out, exposing them to damage.
I always end up buying a thick & rugged case anyway.. the thinness even makes me afraid it'll snap/crash easily. I never understood the thin obsession.. I actually was ok with the size of the thick nokia phones from the 90s.
Totally agree, I have an xr which is on the thicker side of iPhones and I love it. I never once thought that it should be thinner or lighter.
I regularly think about the battery as it hardly lasts a day. In fact it will need to be charged in the evening for sure.
