I think their leak strategy is getting weak. A hype engine that's sputtering.

If you want us to talk about the leaks, there needs to be something in the leak that we want to talk about. Now the leaks are just yeah more of the same generation plus one

Also I just got the 8a for its touted 8 years of support. Who's clamoring over a midrange phone that's 9 months from hitting the market?

Now, if it had a 5.5" screen, a headphone jack, and good specs, I'd be excited.

Seems like a far nicer design in my opinion.

[–] schnokobaer@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah lol

That's the phone to get going purely by aesthetics I think

Seems more like a featureless slab to me

YES! I'm so sick of phones with camera bumps on the back😅

[–] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least the pixel bump makes the phone balanced unlike on the iPhones (I think they might be the worst for camera bump wobble). This will slightly wobble without a case on so not as good imo

Wish they'd make it a few mm thicker and recess the camera hardware slightly instead.

So... iPhone 4 minus bezels?

[–] Twinkletoes@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

🔥 iPhone 4 design 🔥

more like a galaxy s10 in my eyes...

Going back to the galaxy s10
