Maybe stop charging twelve hundred dollars for a fucking phone.
It'd be nice if they'd stop being terminally boring too.
I'm glad they aren't just copying the mainstream garbage. Change for the sake of change is a blight on the market.
YES!!!! I miss my Motorola Hint and my HTC Surround! The Xperia play, the Lumia 1020 even. All phones look the same now and they all do the same things. All you really pay for these days is a little more speed and a few more pixels but they're 4 times the cost.
Because now a phone is just a touchscreen with a processor behind it. It's up to the software developers to bring the value, and they don't dare change that because any deviation will prevent the next flappy bird from running on their hardware.
Very true, plus I very much miss seeing manufacturers put their foot out there with hardware configurations. Naturally there were plenty of flop products like the LG Wing with it's marginally useful T shape, but examples like the HTC Surround with extensible surround sound speakers was really cool. Today's phone companies won't even consider those kind of attempts at producing something different than a rectangular glass slab.
They have a $700 and a $400 model too.
Sure, if you like tech standards from 2015.
Implying there's a 7yr tech gap between their models? Here's a comparison between the IV models, they're not that far apart. I mean sure there's a difference in specs but it's all current technology.
Who is "they"?
Sony. They have 3 models in their line-up, the 1, the 5 and the 10. The 1 is the flagship but they also make a mid-level and an entry level model.
1 grand max for a flagship is the sweet spot rn imo.
As someone who hasn't paid more than 500€ for a phone I can only laugh at this. 1000 is still outrageous.
Paid £500 for an S22U on FB marketplace and couldn't be happier
