    • Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they’ve added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn’t excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it’s not because we’ve perfected them or some shit, it’s because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.

      camera phones

      Why are all “modern” phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it’s on the phone’s backside.

        Why are all “modern” phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back.

        Because different lenses are good at different things. On a three-lens setup, one is usually a telephoto lens for distance, another is a standard wide-angle lens for normal photography, and the third is an ultrawide angle for capturing more of a scene and for macro ultra-close-up photography.

        Also you can film in 3D using two of the three.

        Multiple lenses are a big part of why phone images are as high quality as they are these days.

        And the one on the front is obvious, it enables things like video chat, selfies, and sometimes facial recognition (though that can also work by infrared and lidar).

      What would a music phone look like? I’m not arguing, I’m genuinely asking what features are ‘camera phones’ lacking that could be installed into a ‘music phone’ (but not in a '‘camera phone’)?

      Yep, this is why my next phone will be a Fairphone with their OS, or a Unihertz or something. I miss the old days where a different brand of phone meant a totally different OS, and there were loads of brands.
