“For better cameras” like… I don’t see it. Back in the mid 2010s and late 2010s before the bump trend iPhone, Google and Samsung had the best phone cameras, and both were flat and with decent digital zoom and stability (for a phone). If you look at the photo samples for back then and compare it with now the difference is almost imperceptible.
That ugly bump makes big phones even harder to use and weight more now, plus if you’re one of those who never liked using a cover now I bet you’re forced to use one because of the added vulnerability of the bump.
Edit mid 2010s to late 2010s (until the camera bump appears around 2018)
I’m all for the camera bump. I can lay my phone on my desk and it’s slightly tilted towards me so I can read notifications without having to move my head directly above it.
Also, while holding the phone, i can use a finger under the bump for stability and to keep it from sliding down. I don’t use a case, and all these glass backed phones can be a bit slick.
All praise the camera bump overlords! \[T]/
I’m going to respectfully disagree with (not downvote) you and argue that these are the reasons I hate the camera bump. I can not stand it rocking on the table. I can not stand it getting in the way and caught on things. I also never use a case.
For sure, just offering some silver linings to them :)
I do use a pixel, so the camera bump goes across the entire back, so there is no rocking
Depends on the bump. I like the pixel camera bump as it goes right across the phone. It’s therefore stable on its back.
Still think the bump on the pixel 9 looks awful though, prefer their old style.
