On-device AI features aren't that useful for consumers yet, but long battery life is.

        If that had a screw on antenna, and a smaller Flashlight, I would replace my pixel 8 for that.

          Flashlight brightness is usually adjustable on phones

        So this thing looks absolutely amazing, but still sports a 19oz size(560g). For reference, my phone is only 7oz (201g). The steam deck, which i regularly hold with two hands, can start to cause pain in the wrists.

        I’m sure the kind of person to buy this phone isn’t holding it for numerous hours, but thats still A) a lot of weight to lug around B) I’d imagine it will begin to strain the wrists quickly. Maybe that’s a pro though…

          Wow, that’s only 100g less than the Steam Deck… That’s nuts.

        It’s 6.8", that’s called a tablet or phablet at that point. Change my mind.

          Phablet is the new phone. The term was introduced around iPhone 6 Plus era, now look at the average size of recently released phones and compare it to the 6+. I have a 6.8" phone and I sometimes wish I got a tablet with cellular lol

            I was curious, so I looked it up.

            iPhone 6 Plus frontal area: 158.1mm x 77.8mm = 12,300mm²

            iPhone 15 frontal area: 147.6mm x 71.6mm = 10,568mm²

            iPhone 15 Plus frontal area: 160.9mm x 77.8mm = 12,518mm²

            So (TL;DR:) the 6 Plus is 16% larger than the current iPhone, and 1.75% smaller than the current Plus model.

            In the past decade, phones haven’t actually got bigger, despite people online saying they have. Screens have, while the bezels have shrunk.

          How so? My phone screen is 6.4in and id hardly consider that to be tablet sized. Anything smaller physically hurts me to be honest.
