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.

Your cover increases battery life?

Attention span is a problem nowadays

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

My plastic cover doesn't provide power, no. My cover levels the back to be on even level with the camera — much in the same way the proposed larger battery would.

Yeah, makes sense chief, but a bigger batteries main purpose would be to be a bigger battery while also being level.

Seems like your flimsy plastic cober is kinda shit

[-] OrderedChaos@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Excuse me. My cober works just fine.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It's a perfectly good silicone cover. You've never heard of silicone covers for phones?

The only things shit here are your reading comprehension and attitude.

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