>making increasingly thinner phones that need to be recharged constantly because thinner and thinner batteries
Can this trend please stop? I'm not some fucking 6-year-old who can't carry anything more than a centimetre-thick phone. Phones could easily fit in your pocket ten years ago, despite being thick as the dragon dildos these thinfags use every night.
If you're going to make thinner phones at the cost of battery life, kindly fuck off. Thank you.

Fuck phablets.
Yeah, thank god you posted that on /g/, that'll show them.
>inb4 some teenager posts a giant mobile phone from the early 90s
Then get a regular cell phone (not a smarthone) from the late 00's you fucking retard
Battery thickness has nothing to do with it, because if you weren't retarded you would notice that capacity is actually increasing.
The real problem is power hungry hardware and inefficient. heavy software.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Take the Nexus 5 as an example. The camera lens sticks out from the casing, rather than staying flush.
Surely making the entire phone 1mm thicker so that the lens didn't stick out, just asking to be scratched, would have allowed a battery that can actually last it a full day with decent amount of useage.
Thinner was cool when we had bricks, but come on, lets be a bit more practical!
>>44020600
it seems to be already stopping
phones are becoming slightly thicker now that hi-res screens are becoming the new selling point rather than the DESIIIIGN
This still won't stop the phablets. Stop watching movies on your phones and get a tablet/laptop people!
>>44020685
He just likes to shove it up his ass like a dildo. It needs both girth and length.
The Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series have inexpensive third party batteries that double the thickness of the phone and triple the battery life.
Pic related, this gets me 4 or 5 days of use with 16 hours of screentime between charges.

That's literally how my phone looks now. My zero lemon lasts three to four days of constant /g/ lurking
my g2 can last 2-3 days with moderate use and ~8 hours of music playback a day i always laugh when i see people who can't make it through one day on their battery
>>44020600
Agreed. My ideal phone would be a droid maxx with 128GB of storage
>>44020685
A bigger screen yields benefits.
A thinner phone really fucking doesn't.
Fits slimmer in your fag tight jeans or something?
Breaks easier?
Feels worse in your hand?
Really just say one that isnt about vanity.
We could handle phones 15 times the thickness of todays phones without even batting an eye, it really makes no sense to not even give consumers the option to take an extra 0.5 or even 1cm thickness in return for 5+ days of battery life.
>>44020600
For now, why isn't your solution to just carry a battery pack?
Or buy one of the phone models that are actually intended for India and other 3rd world places that have frequent power interruptions - those DO have large batteries.
You even get the benefits from the smartphone SoCs having become more power efficient due to dem flat small battery phones.
We're basically finally back at the point where specific smartphones can do a 24 hour phone call...
Blame MUH RESOLUTION faggots before blaming the thin fags.
>>44020600
I want to make another point.
give me a proper phone with qwerty keyboard! fucking hell, I've been using Nokia C6 since it came out, now bought One X from a friend and I am still using Nokia for sms and things like that, typing on a touchscreen sucks epic dick. All I want is hardware from S4, 4.3 inch screen, 2500MAh battery and I will buy that in a heartbeat
>>44021359
nobody wants to be 'that guy' carrying around a battery pack, otg cable, flash drive, etc. etc.
But really, a phone with a 4.9" screen, something around 350ppi, brightness good enough to use in sunlight, modest hardware, a swappable 3500-4000mAh battery, and an SD slot would be just about perfect for a fuckload of people. Too bad nobody is making that phone.
>>44021359
>For now, why isn't your solution to just carry a battery pack?
This.
>>44021529
Because it is many times more inconvenient?
Why arent you just buying a dumbphone and bring a tablet with you everywhere?
>>44021469
The Sony Xperia Z2 has a 3200 mAh battery and it's a sleek slim phone, mine lasts 2 days with moderate to heavy usage. The Z3 coming out soon will last 40% longer. Plus it has by far the best camera on the market (20.7 megapixels), which you can use underwater. I have no idea why anyone would buy any other Android phone.

>Captainmacfag appears to state that he gets 16 days of battery life out of his motion charging powerbank attached to his dick and can still power the vibrator lodged in his ass
Thanks man, your solution, after all, only forces specific phones on me, has me charge 2 fucking batteries at night instead of the one I already have to, and has me changing battery packs.
Compared to a phone that would be 1cm fatter than the usual phone, which would simply let me use it for 5 days and charge it then.
MANY TIMES MORE CONVENIENT.
>>44021469
But you have to be if you want this.
The only alternative is to be a sheep and carry the current MuhCelebrityCoolPhone or at least something "respectable" (according to advertisements and what is supposed to be the current fashion or state of the art).

anyone who still has a flip-phone is a dinosaur.
Communication is one of the lesser reason to have a smartphone. Alarms, notes etc. are far more useful.
Also, texting. God I hated receiving texts on my flip phone. And texts are a better way to communicate too.
I used to think these were cheaper...
As soon as I figured out I could buy a lumia 520 for like 50 bucks and put it on a dumb-phone plan for 3 bucks a month- it was in the trash
Also, a battery pack case is like 30 bucks for these things
More important should be thinks like monotone screens, lighter operating systems with less fancy graphics, keeping the phones at 480P or less... but mostly we just wont ever be happy. For example, I'd love a phone like that, but with a six inch screen... no one will ever make that, Until project ARA we will never be able to choose where our money goes- if ara ever gets going anywhere
>>44024174
I'd love a 4.3 inch bar phone with a 720p screen, NFC, and a stripped-down, non-android-based OS with a consistent, good user experience. Like, no apps, fuck that shit, here's a phone that does the usual handful of smartphone things and nothing else because fuck you. Just do the stuff you need and do it well.
At best I'd say give the messaging system a protocol plugin setup. Same for an activity stream app - get RSS articles, Twitter, Facebook, longer emails all on one feed, get SMS/MMS, XMPP, Twitter DMs, short emails and IRC all in one chat system. Shit like that.
If you control the whole system you can also have a consistent theming system, unlike shit like Cyanogenmod's theme engine that won't really work because people are swapping apps out left and right with shit that doesn't use system elements - meaning you can rice easily.

Take your pretty and shove it into your verizon cock sucking contracts lovehole with your 600 dollar disposable trash-tech that will maybe last two years.
The g3 and note 4 have issues with overheating and frequently throttles themselves. Theyre cutting edge trash bound for bricking. High end is just as disposable as low end. Which is fucking stupid. And locked down software. GROSS.

N8 Camera is god tier, they really nailed the design in that model.

I don't need 1440p bullshit that the newer phones are packing, I just need 720p minimum so that text is actually fucking clear. 480p is full retard when batteries are getting better, it's only that companies are being even more retarded by packing the screen with more placebo pixels to offset the better battery.

It's because (smart)phones are social, fashion pieces for retards. They're afraid they'll get asked if they have a boner or a lumpy ass if anything bigger than this shows up in their pants.

Why do you care about the battery life of someone else's phone? I'm assuming you don't buy thin phones but instead THL 5000s or Samsung + zerolemon. We buy our phones with shitty batteries because we live in 1st world countries with electricity coming out of our walls
>>44020600
batteries aren't getting smaller though... only from the iphone 5 to 5s did that happen but who cares about iphones anyway?
>>44022939
You have to take out like 2 fucking screws, and pop a ribbon cable off. Takes a good five minutes or so to change. It's not ideal, but the batteries last a long time, and don't often need to be replaced anyway.

Nah, rather they glued the ribbon cable to the screen, and then glued the battery on the ribbon cable and the screen.

Tech currently in most smartphones was around ~20 years ago, only recently has it been repurposed and refined for use in these devices. This is the result of market demand and although advances have occurred, we're still, for all intents and purposes, stuck in the fucking dark ages, reusing ancient shit. It's sad that the same sort of ARM CPU that existed in 2001 was still being used in flagship phones as late as 2012, and even the newest flagship phones use what is ultimately a closely-related derivative of these processors

Because a battery pack is horseshit!
Every time i plug something into my microUSB port, i wear out the conection just a little bit more. I am so glad my nexus can be charged without pluging anything physically into the phone.
My microUSB port on my nexus is basically virgin. I sealed it up with a little bit of black silicone RTV which can be easily peeled out if need be, keeps the dust out of the port.
I think all new smartphones should have wireless charging build in, to negate the fact that the battery only lasts half a day.
I have a wireless charger at work, in the car and on my desk at home. It's wonderful to just plop down your phone and not having to worry about plugging and unplugging several times a day.

The new iPhone is supposed to have a protruding lens too. It's so retarded, seriously nobody can tell the difference if it's one mm thinner, and I've already heard a lot of complaints about the protruding lens. They could have packed a bit more battery, but they just had to give in to the stupidest fucking vanity dimension there is.

The 220 and 515 are sleek as fuck though. Sure they're expensive, but they can take 32gb MicroSDs and generally are a cross between dumbphones and smartphones while being able to take advantage of not being made in 2007.
>>44027453
how old are you? Phone batteries used to last weeks instead of hours. How is that better?
>>44027453
>battery tech has gotten like 10 times better in just the last 5 years
My old phones all had batterries lasted at least 1 week. Some specially designed can even last a month.
Now? The best phone will last 2 days on idle and half a day with intensive network use.

>>44027788
Sure, but you can't compare the old phones to smartphones. And you can still get plain cellphones - which last weeks on standby.
I went through various of the first brick phones from the 90s, and their battery life was atrocious when you actually used them for making calls.
Modern batteries, specifically that lipo stuff, are crazy effective compared to the older ones. Smartphone users don't notice that because at the same time the devices become more and more power-hungry. But go look at other applications, like RC cars. Go compare battery packs from 10-20 years ago to the modern ones, the improvements are enormous.

this.
People often go around throwing made-up statements such as "LOL MY NOKIA USED TO LAST FOR WEEK BRAH" ignoring how little they used to use such old phones.
Using a feature phone for browsing (wap-style) kills it's battery in about 3 hours.
>>44025840
the next iteration (K850i) sucked on the software side though.
Still have one up and running, too bad the camera doesn't focus anymore and the plastic body is trashed to say the least.
>>44028044
I had several different nokia phones way back when, and I would text my friends non stop all day and night, playing snake over IR in between, and call my girlfriend and talk for hours after school. And the fucking battery DID last a week or more. There is nothing made up there, it's just user experience.

>>44026086
Girls keep their phones in their bras and don't often worry about size.
PEOPLE want something thin, functional in relation to their needs, and that's fairly transparent to use. A flip phone is a pain for things like internet, photos, and general communication that isn't voice. Smartphones are the most common phone in the world for a reason, and it isn't cause people are "sheep" or because people "are being brainwashed into thinking they need something they don't". It's cause people fucking use their devices for the functions they have on a daily basis, just because you can't get into it doesn't mean everyone else is wrong and you're right, aspie.

You can stop it right away. Just ignore any part of the phone market that you don't like.
True, this will reduce your opportunities for adolescent rage, but you can't have everything (where would you put it?).
I hate carrying a phone with me all times. You're never alone carrying a phone around, people always expect instant replies to their stupid bullshit that you don't care about.
I just want to be left alone.
>>44028900
>(where would you put it?)
if you have everything, you would also have a storage unit facility, then you could put the other stuff there.
For me, the lumia 800/n9 has the best dimensions and design. I still use it to this day.
So whatever happened to that phone with a supposed solar charging array beneath the LCD screen?
Or some shit like that
>>44025415
too thick
>>44028939
The 800 was a truly beautiful phone.
>>44028966
Solar power hardware is expensive as fuck
>>44029065
Let us not forget that sitting a device in any noteworthy position for charging puts everything under temperature stress, particularly the battery.
>>44029030
>address bar on the bottom
I need that shit.
>>44029120
All Lumia phones have address bar on bottom.
>>44029030
It really was. Bought the lumia 800 because the n9 was shit expensive, and the 800 was $50 used, off contract. Simply beautiful
>>44029030
>tfw it's getting too old, and the vital apps aren't getting updated anymore, also ie is getting old too
Pls kill me. ;_;
Just buy a Samsung Galaxy S or Note phone, stick a bigger battery in it and call it a day. This is why Samsung is better than HTC and the others, they give insane amounts of options. Apple, too, since there are so many battery cases for iPhone. Stop buying shit phones. Buy high end Galaxy or iPhone

Exactly. My iPhone has like a week of stand by that actually lasts, but as soon as I ask it to do things, that's when it starts churning.
Granted I don't care cause I don't live in 3rd world land where there's no fucking power.
>>44029399
Do you have small hands or something? I can reach anywhere on my S4's screen with my thumb.
>>44020990

Retard.
>>44020600
>>44020615
I just want a rugged smartphone with a 4" screen and a big ass battery.
>>44029445
Prove it. Holding the phone at the bottom, like everyone in the world does, touch the very top of the screen with your thumb. Then take a picture and post it.
>>44028136
You're actually lying.
High-DPI laptop screens and e-ink phone screens. I really don't give a shit about watching video or playing games on my handheld. E-ink screens are great but the software in most e-readers is nerfed as fuck.
>>44029470
Wanna bet?
>>44029465
>Then take a picture
With what?
Anyway, I hold my phone in my fingers and reach my palm across if I need to touch the far side of the screen. Is that not normal?
>>44029495
>With what?
Um... A fucking camera?
No, that's not normal, you are a fucking weirdo. You can't deny that even with big hands, it would be much easier to access at the bottom of the screen, and all you want to do is argue, and try to prove someone wrong otherwise you won't feel good about yourself.
>>44029526
I don't own a camera.
And I'm not being contrary, I just don't find it any trouble to access the top of the screen by shifting the phone in my hand. Maybe it's because I'm used to it, but I just don't.
I really had no idea that other people didn't do the same thing.
I'm fucking sick of these touch screen devices man,
I love pushing buttons,
I want a flip phone, one with a good screen and a lovely design,
I will actually sell my Note 3 now, Tell me what is great about having a huge screen in your face all day; walking around not paying attention to anything?
I miss the feel of texting with buttons, I miss having to toggle through the keys in order to spell out words
What the fuck is the point of touching flat, lifeless glass all day
Everything's touch now,
Someone please find me a really nice flip phone please, you guys made me feel too hard
>>44029450
Yes. Having multiple devices that do different things well is better than having one device that does everything poorly. This is called the UNIX philosophy.
It's gotten so bad that I always have a charger with me. By lunch time, half of my battery is drained and I need to recharge it. Sometimes, I charge my phone three times a day.
>>44029625
>I miss the days when typing on a phone was objectively slower and less efficient

How much do you use your phone? My stock battery lasts me a day and a half.
>>44029625
>What the fuck is the point of touching flat, lifeless glass all day
The same fucking point as clicking buttons all day, to convey information.
Your phone is a machine, a tool, not a pet you play with. Being "lifeless" doesn't mean anything.

>>44020600
This.
I think we should have something like the HD2 with lots of front buttons and as little wasted front space as possible. Relatively thick though with SD card and battery removal so you can use extended batteries.
