    When is the industry going to recognize that the camera needs to be flush with the back?

    This is ridiculous

      If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn’t we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?

        Yes, but then it would be slightly heavier and have way too good of a battery life, reducing power bank sales and having the phone last longer without needing to be replaced due to battery degradation.

        Mine does that when I put a cover on my phone.

        The cover is on the same level as the camera as there’s a cutout on that bit.

        Then they can’t advertise that the phone is x.x mm thick (if you ignore the thickest part!)

      Literally nobody who cares about their phone is rawdogging it. It’s a perfectly sane design assuming there will be a case.

      Give it a few more years. At this rate, by 2028, the entire back of the phone will be camera bump and you’ll be able to lay it down on a flat surface at last.

      Also, fingerprint scanners don’t belong behind the screen.

      Unless you have the greasiest fingers of anyone who ever lived, they just don’t work. I have to lick my fingers to make it see them…
