  • I disagree. New smartphones may have a few better specs, but are overall worse than older models.

    For example, they are getting bigger and bigger and can’t be operated one handed any more, even with Androids one-handed mode, because the zoom makes everything tiny.

    Newer phones become hotter, batteries more likely to turn into spicy pillows.

    More bloatware preinstalled, like AI stuff or “AR Emoji” etc.

    The camera notches are growing too, even though most people would be fine with notchless cameras.

    They are getting heavier and thicker too. In 2015 we had 5.1mm 98g phones. Not even a notch. It all went downhill from there.

    And don’t even get me started on the prices.
