Speak for yourself, I want a better phone as in with removable battery, sd card, headphone jack.

The difference is, science is not making phones better for the consumer, but for the maker.

The science on most of this stuff is done already. Most of your requests could be implemented tomorrow. No problem.

This is not a science problem. This is a capitalism problem.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Well, batteries can still get a lot better. But yea, what's listed isn't technical limitations.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Sorry if I didn’t make that clear.

Yes I fully agree!!

I have a galaxy S5 that you'd be interested in then. Science already solved it and even gave it water resistance to boot.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 6 months ago

My LG V20 does all that and more. Not sure about water resistance but that hasn't been a problem for me since the flip phone days. There were so many options 8 years ago and now just about everything is a variation of the iPhone loadout. It's infuriating.

My phone is almost 10 years old, and it doesn't do much, but you know it does enough.

What you actually need is a time machine.
