I always see you people complaining about new phones being too slim and not thinking about battery life, but let's be sincere: you would never buy a bulky phone, even if offered 5 days of battery life.
Some people would :^)
>>52318215
Yes. Yes I would. Are you seriously saying that on /g/?
>>52318215
what the fuck of course i would.
just get an iphone 4 with an otter box
Hell yeah I would buy it, I literally don't give a shit about the thickness
>>52318215
Shut up and tell me where I can buy that.
If it looks half-decent and has good enough hardware. Why the fuck not?
i totally would
bonus points for metal casing with a satisfying clink when tapped
bonus points for early 60's style smooth-metal-bullnose-corners shape
bonus points for a shell that protects the screen by extending 1/16 of an inch above
i want a phone with a battery as big as an entire iPhone
i understand wanting small phones, but fuck you for thinking youre smart enough to predict my tastes
>>52318215
You're right, I wouldn't buy an inch thick phone. But if it were a 6mm thick phone, or a 10mm thick phone with twice the battery life? I'd go for the latter, no question.

Finally, 5 hours of standby time.

There's an improved version out for almost a year now.
>>52318215
You dont meed to be bulky to get a good battery life.
You just need to stop the senseless goal of thinness at all costs, a phone doesnt need to be any thinner than an iphone 5
>you would never buy a bulky phone, even if offered 5 days of battery life.
nigga I would suck 19 dicks no condor to completion for a fucking phone that last 5 days SOT
>>52318215
I still use a dumbphone and I get great battery life.
>tfw I want a bulky phone
>tfw I'd have to stop wearing shorts to have a bulky phone
>>52318438
It's barely 480p or some shit
Yes I would.
I couldn't care less about my phone being slim.
I'm not a faggot in skinny jeans who needs a slim phone because other phones won't fit in their pockets.
Shit yes I would
I know several people who carry those charging batteries around with them wherever they go.
Those things are the size of a phone and more.
Why would they not prefer just a chunkier phone?
I'd certainly prefer more battery life
>>52318215
>you would never buy a bulky phone
Would it run on proprietary software or not?
>>52320022
1280x720 is perfectly fine for a smartphone
>>52318215
I'm not actually asking for a massively thick phone, but just a couple of mm more thickness. That's it. We're at the point now where Apple is focusing so much on lelsothin that the 3.5mm fucking audio jack is now too large for them.
Seriously, fuck that. Add an extra 1.5mm, MAYBE 2mm to whatever the iPhone's current thickness is. There, you're done.
>>52318215
>even if offered 5 days of battery life.

My current phone is on 24/7 and doesn't even need to be charged weekly.
>>52318215
I would buy a phone that thick if it had 11,000MAH, 4 ports, 2 sims, world radios and 4 years of guaranteed updates.
>you would never buy a bulky phone, even if it offered 5 days of battery life
But that's exactly what I did, Anon.

what's wrong with mediatek?
If it was a modern slider with QWERTY fuck yeah.
>>52318215
i'd happily buy a new 3/4" thick unbreakable waterproof dumbphone with four weeks of battery life, but the one i bought five years ago still works fine.
>>52318215
You are right and wrong at the same time.
Yes no one would buy a 20mm thick, non-rugged normal phone. But there is a point where thinness stops being comfortable, useful and is actually detrimental to phone usability and for what, 0.5mm off while camera lens protrudes?
How thinner than lets say iPhone 4 do we need to get? Thinness is a meme and bragging right after a certain point.
>>52318215
if there was a rugged, fat, smartphone that delivers OK hardware and costs about the same i would.
All the rugged laptops and phone i've seen cost too much while being paced with shitty hardware.

I'd honestly have no issue EDCing anything up to the general size of the original Game Boy, but I'd prefer something smaller. Definitely larger than current phones

Depends how bulky. I'd probably go as far as the iPhone 4's thickness.
>>52319858
>no condor
>>52318215
Yes god damnit! Also throw in a fucking keyboard.
>>52320157
are there any actual phones that run on free software?
I used a nokia n900 for 2 years, fuck you
>>52318215
sure I would, shit I still carry a PDA sometimes
after a certain point the returns on portability diminish more and more, especially as manufacturers reverse the progresses in portability by equipping their devices with impractical 6' screens to please media tards who are too poor to buy a subnotebook
Just get a fucking Droid Turbo 2 and be done with it.
>drop it from 4 stories onto pavement, it just laughs at you while bouncing around like a fish out of water
>>52318215
Last time i fucking checked people were absolutely fine with the thickness of the iphone 4.
Now imagine a modern efficient 5.5" with that thickness and a lithium-sulfur battery. Fucking 2 weeks yeeeeee
You're right, why would I want a bulky phone when my current sexy already offers five days of battery?
>>52318215
Go back to /fa faggot of course we would buy that shit.
Anyone help witht the gs6 ?
>>52318215
I would
>>52324730
>Droid Turbo 2
How does its strenght compare to cat phones?
>>52318215
>implying I wouldn't even if it didn't have 5 days of battery life
The Athena was a miss though; can't talk normally (only loudspeaker) and the keyboard wasn't comfy at all (the keys were really soft and flat, no tactile feel). Playing OpenTTD was godlike on that though.
>>52318215
>you would never buy a bulky phone
No, but there's a fine line in-between "bulky" and "slim", that was hit a long time ago.
I don't need to bend my phone either.
I loved the "bulk" of my old Nokias. Give me a phone that thick, good specs, and 5 days of battery life and I'd buy it in a heartbeat
If it still fits in my pocket, why not?
If I'd need battery life I wouldn't mind a bigger phone but I fucking sit at home all day arry day and nobody calls me anyway so I don't care.
>>52318269
And then they carry additional battery packs and charging cables, and spend most of their time worrying about battery life and searching for power sockets.
>le thinness meme is why we don't have phones with physical keyboards anymore (*aside from Blackberry)
>>52318215
I would. Sincerely, anon.

Beautiful phone. I wish we had more phones with a slide or keyboard. They could even slim it down by using 2 batteries. One in the phone and one under the keyboard, if thickness is an issue.
>>52325462
>>52325536
How does one go about getting one of these ?
>>52318215
lenovo A5000 master race here. I charge it once or twice a week, it has automatic powersaver option where it stops everything but the phone/sms and has up to 80+ hours of life on it. Also turns off during night time. It suits me fine, I am not a social media piggo so its good

I would buy a bulky phone.
I won't buy a retarded looking CASE.
Or any case for that matter.
Phones should be usable without putting them into a condom.
>>52325580
You can't.
Iirc they only made a few and then stopped because they dropped meego harmattan and picked up windows for their phones.
It's a collectors item now.
It's just an n9 with a keyboard. The n9 though was really powerful for its time, I think I read recently that they've ported kitkat to it.
>>52325649
Oh. That's a disappointment.
>mfw
>>52320328
I have one of these. It's truly amazing. Like 3-4 days SoT at max brightness and everything on (4gLTE, location, Bluetooth, etc...) But it does make it a brick. I threw it at my m8 and he no joke got a bruise the size of a brick on his shoulder. You could fucking murder someone with it.
Used to carry around a Nokia 5165 daily. Would do so again.
>>52319858
>No condor
>>52318215
Your wrong, I'd totally buy a Sonim XP7 if I didn't consider smartphones early-adopters tech and a scheme of advertisement/content companies.

So it's a backup weapon as a bonus.

Great idea ! I never saw this phone in wider usage.

The only good part of being poor and friendless is that I only charge my phone every other week.

So a thicker passport with smaller keyboard and screen?
Fuck you.
Take a zenfone 2, add a keyboard and a battery that makes it as thick as a DS lite and I'd buy the shit out of it.
Keep telling yourself that no-one actually wants it you fucking apple engineer.
There's a market, but you're too delusional to see it.

I have a galaxy S5 running on a zerolemon 8500mah battery.
If sammy had a phone as bug as what mine is now with equal or better specs, I'd buy it, no hesitation

>>52320113
You can use the power bank to charge your handheld consoles or your sandisk clip.
I have to say that I mostly use the power bank when I forget charging my phone or some other device. My phone gets 6-10 hours of sot, so it easily survives almost 2 days depending on usage.
As long as you can easily use a phone for more than one day, I see no reason to get a thicker phone.

My thing is, a phone comes out, and it's touted as being the best thing ever. Next year, a new version (version 2, let's say) comes out, and it's selling point is being even thinner. And people remark how nice and thin it is.
The NEXT year, version 3 comes out, and it's even thinner. Everyone exclaims how nice and thin it is.
My thing is, is the version 2 from last year suddenly unbearably fucking fat? Was everyone just pretending that version 2 was thin?
That's what I fucking hate. Instead of trying to make the model thinner when last year's model was perfectly thin, just keep it the same thickness, but with a bigger battery to balance out the updated innards.
I swear, I'm either just batshit autistic as fuck, or every phone manufacturer is catered to the worst audience. That issue I stressed in combination with the ridiculous screen resolutions. It boggles my fucking mind that that's acceptable.
