I never thought Pixels would survive this long, but I'm glad they did (www.androidauthority.com)

If you don't mind Googles extreamly bad AI and also their subscription plans to suck you dry... Sure.

And then the ugly camera bump on these phones... Ouch.

For me, it's the oneplus phones that are the saving grace in a mess of bad phones.

Best looking design is probably the Honor 6 but the Chinese software design is awful and very convoluted.

I absolutely agree that the camera bump is ugly as fuck but a case probably hides it very well like it does on my 6A

Exactly, who cares if a phone is "ugly" when most people stick a case on anyway? At least this weird camera bar means the phone sits flat rather than wobbling when you try to use it on a desk!

Thick cases hide it, silicone cases don't

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Is it that much bigger? Damn.

I have a fairly (IMO) slim case on my 6A and it is still well above the camera bump and the screen.

But the camera bump on the 6A is only 1 mm thick.
