So this is the idiot we have to blame for the ugly and annoying camera bump. Sad that it seems like there is no going back to a phone with a good design. Camera bumps are awful and not worth the tradeoffs.
Yeah, I have the Pixel 8 and the camera bump is annoying. I wish they'd make a slim version with a crappier camera, because I honestly don't use it much and would prefer a sleeker phone. My old Moto G Power was fantastic for this, but unfortunately it's out of SW support, and I would really rather not switch my phone again just because SW support ended.
I really want a PinePhone, but the SW support for features I need leaves a lot to be desired.
I am waiting for the egg shaped phone that somehow has sharp edges and remains slippery when dry.
That ship sailed once the headphone jack was removed.
