What happened to small boxy soulful phones?

Why is the smartphone industry so fucking soulless right now?

That thing looks like it'd cause a lot of pocket wear.

Because they found a formula that satisfies 80% of consumers and just keep pumping the same shit because people keep buying it.

is that even a phone with a modem? Looks like one of those android walkmans

Try posting a phone next time

It is. That's not a phone.

For me, it's the razer phone 2

discontinued next cycle, nobody buys them

Bought 1 III 6 months ago.
Stupidly thin, but ~ok phone. Rather mediocre in camera and battery, but doesn't insult me and is somewhat aesthetic.
Will think about a phone again 2.5 years.

What phone were you using before the change? I've been interested in that phone but the price tag is steep. I mostly want it for the SD card and headphone combo

That's a Walkman you dumb fuck.
Yes, it's like a based version of an iPod touch, though I forget if they had elgoog services, if not it's not really an iPod touch as it is a really fancy music player. Of course, sideloading still exists.

However, Sony still makes Xperias. And guess what, they still look about the same as they did in 2012 after Ericsson fucked off.

>For me it's ____
Shut the fuck up

I have like no issues with my 1 iii camera. Like 90% of it is low light when I'm drunk with mates but it's fucking great having a God damn camera app that respects you and lets you set fucking settings how you want.
Battery life is better than my pixel4 was but still yeah not great

Get the Samsung flip then

>Why is the smartphone industry so fucking soulless right now?
because the average consumer is soulless
/thread

>thinking an audio player is a fucking phone

Nice going retard.
Just get a lite phone and shut up.

reminder to use adb to set the resolution to 4k permanently (most of the time its 1096x2560 and uses shitty interpolation)
really makes a difference in the clarity of text
new android 12 updates broken adb commands on xperias though

iPhone mini, retard.

>I am trans and want a womans phone

The razer phone 2 isn't really even small though. Mine was a piece of shit when I had it too.

Small phones usually means smaller batteries, at least when it comes to iphones

make them thicker
