    Subreddit Discussion: The Real World Consequences of Camera Bumps

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 07:42 PM PDT

    I wanted to start a discussion around camera bumps.

    There seems to be a lot of focus on the aesthetic effect of camera bumps, without much considerations on the real world consequences.

    For example. the resounding opinion (from my perspective) was that the S21 and S21 Ultra camera bump was positively received. This camera bump undeniably fits as an extension of the phone's design. That said, it is an extreme example of unbalance. It protrudes significantly, and is asymmetric to the most extreme.

    I say this as a happy S21 Ultra owner.

    I used to drive a OnePlus 6. A phone I happily daily drove, and abandoned only once I saw a 120hz screen in person.

    That phone had a camera bump that was thin enough to be resolved by a case. It lay flat on a desk.

    The S21, no shot. I can't find a case on the market, with the possible exception of the Denali D30 cases (which I have not tried) that eliminates the real world imbalance of the camera bump.

    This brings me back to my original point. The S21 range, iPhones, previous pixels, etc, seem to have had a positive response to the camera bump due primarily to their aesthetic suitability. Phones like the Mi 11 Ultra and the forthcoming Pixel lineup are seeing overwhelmingly negative opinion, as it is deemed they are wasting space.

    In my day to day, there are two benefits to phones that lay flat.

    1: They don't wobble. Obvious.

    2: I use my phone to level industrial equipment. The full width camera bumps of the Pixel and Mi phones would provide a more consistent surface to zero to.

    I don't really have a point that I'm trying to make. I really just wanted to hear different points of view as to how camera bumps affect your real lives, individually, and how you would like to see the industry trend.

    Why Can't They Just Make Button Touchescreen Hybrid Phones?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 10:31 AM PDT

    I've always found smartphones frustrating because it seems like they require constant visual focus and nanometer finger precision. It's not like using a computer, if your finger moves even one nanometer the wrong way, you'll end up panning to a wrong part of the screen or if you're using a map, you'll pan to a different location of the map.

    So many times, I've wanted to pan to a right side of the page, but if you end up panning too fast, you'll activate the ' go forward ' action and then move to the next page instead of staying on the same page and just panning it.

    How does this not frustrate anyone else?

    I've thought of some solutions, and it seems like the best thing to do is have a phone with a control system that involves using buttons AND the touchscreen? Example: When using a browser, you can use physical buttons to control ' go back ' and ' go forward ' and you can use the touchscreen functionality to just zoom in on parts of the page. That way you won't end up skipping to another page just because you swiped too fast!?!?!?!?

    And this should be how it works for maps too. Example: if you're using a map, and you're zoomed in on one zone, you can use a mini joystick to control panning. That way a clumsy finger touch won't offset your whole position and pan you all the way to Moscow.
