I'd buy it. Phones in the 6.0-6.3" range just make the most sense to me. Any larger and you're in tablet territory. I think one of the biggest reasons you don't find more people buying "smaller" phones is that no company is putting 5000-6000 mAh batteries in them. I am surprised, however, that MKBHD didn't request a headphone jack.

[@lillebrorsanvincent2017]

Or SD card

[@hmartinlb]

Well, the problem with big batteries is that they make the phone thick, and that just doesn't feel as good in the hand. Not that big phones feel good in the hand. I'd rather have a phone that does power saving magic (As sony did with the Z3 Compact, crazy efficient screen on that one) than the latest and greatest. The problem is that in the current market there isn't even any choice anymore. The smallest (android) phone on the market is the Samsung S24/S25 and I will never buy a Samsung, or iPhone for that matter. Xiaomi, Lenovo and Google make somewhat normal sized phones. Every other phone is a phablet. If you can't use the whole screen with one hand it's not a small phone.

[@312bigbeanburrito]

@@hmartinlb thick phones don't feel worse in the hand. Width and height are vastly more important metrics because having to move your thumb more causes more strain, along with whether the corners/sides are flat or rounded. Also materials. Phones are already so thin that doubling the thickness of the average phone could give massive battery life with negligible hit to hand ergonomics. The only reason phones are thin is because of techno-fetishism and aesthetics.

[@hmartinlb]

@@312bigbeanburrito Maybe. I just don't like the way my zenfone 9 feels in my hand. I got used to it though. It's very thick compared to other phones. Pixel 4a for example has way better ergonomics

[@taytayaxolatte]

MKBHD knows about tech, thats why he didnt request an sd slot or a headphone jack. those are useless features on a phone that only people who dont know about storage solutions and audio equipment want, the casual consumer of technology. which is fine, there are plenty cheap phones that offer those features. sd cards are completely irrelevant in the face of portable storage devices like ssds, especially portable NVME drives, and a headphone jack in a smartphone is pointless if the DAC inside the phone is shitty. 99% of even flagships have a less than decent DAC, because its obviously not something 99% of people even know anything about, or even exists, so it doesnt matter. people who actually care about listening to music with good audio will use a dedicated device for it with a good DAC and amplifiers. everyone else can just use wireless earbuds, like MKBHD does. ALSO, they sell them for like 30 bucks now or less, theres literally less than no point in phones having audio jacks anymore. plus, you can either get a usb-c pair of earbuds, or an adapter to usb-c for regular wired earbuds.

Battery: 6000mAh It would be kinda weird having a lot of cameras but with a design like Xiaomi 14 Ultra it could be great, I love to use all of the cameras when taking my photos and I use zoom a lot when travelling or watching an event, since I also play a lot recently, having a bigger screen with 144hz is perfect (for me) to have a good gameplay also with competitive games.

I imagine it'll have something to do with removing every single component from the motherboard and attaching/soldering it onto the new one.

[@arwlyx]

​@@TheMightyHams Based on my experience, the reason why I think it's so expensive to replace a logic board at official tech support for these devices is because it costs them more money to actually fix them, simple as that. Replacing a logic board is far easier (needs techs with lower skill levels = cheaper labor), and it's faster than having a motherboard diagnosed and fixed by a more experienced tech (again, they don't need those if they just replace them). Technically, it might bring some more peace of mind, given that the device leaves with a whole new board. I'm sure the fact that they have to build extra logic boards that instead of going for whole devices, they're spares for warranty repairs (which they don't get paid for) plays a role. And they'd rather you just buy a new phone. lol I've worked as an electronics repair tech, at a shop that was doing official warranty repairs for a big tool supplier in Europe. For walk-in customers, we'd diagnose and do board repair, for them, 90% of repairs were whole board swaps.

Whatever, make a phone with a silicon carbide battery so that the phone can be slimmer, with 120W fast charging. Flat screen with thin (almost no) bezels. With a Snapdragon top tier battery. The display must be bright as heaven. With 120Hz refresh rate. Hi res audio must be there with stereo speakers. Z axis vibration is a must. With a titanium body. Sandwiched between the glasses. The Gliph is a must. With the best camera. Front camera must be hidden under the screen. With IP 69 resistance

[@drfleka]

R&D prices are exaggerated, especially for hardware. I am unsure if you are unaware or simply ignoring the fact, but most phones are quite similar both internally and externally. Therefore, the high costs are unjustified unless there is truly innovative technology involved. The hardware you mentioned is typical for high-end phones. The cost of software development can vary greatly depending on the project, but the hardware component is relatively inexpensive. Ultimately, you are making excellent profit margins; otherwise, you wouldn't be in this line of work. Consider the numerous affordable phones that have great hardware and are constructed with premium materials; however, their software limitations are what hinder their success.

I wanted to understand why these companies seem to dislike the niche of common-sense smartphones. It's simple: a compact smartphone with a headphone jack at the bottom, a single, I repeat, just a single good rear camera, front-facing speakers, no punch-hole for the front camera (similar to the Xperia line), aluminum construction, and strong software support. You know, OnePlus is what it is because OnePlus models from 1 to 5 were like that. But brands prefer to be just another drop in the ocean, stuffing smartphones with junk in hopes of striking luck and appealing to some average audience.

add security enhancement by partnering with blackberry and also making sure we can root the phone if required, which may remove the security enhancement but could be useful to restore old device to working condition, making availability of all the drivers for oprnsource development, allowing to disable all google services in one toggle

“Smaller smartphones don’t sell as well as big ones” - is this $ market value, number of units or something else? 5:25 I used to get the big phone because it was the only one with all the features, since that’s not the case anymore I can happily use something smaller. To be clear I’m not talking about iPhone mini smaller - that’s too small for me. More like base model or non-max pro.

[@WillAmbiance]

iPhone tested this theory with the iPhone Mini and it totally failed in sales, but it's really cool they tried. I'm surprised he wants a 6.1in phone... It'd prob need to be 6.5 to compromise with what most people want in order to be successful.

[@Gopinathk17]

If this is true, then we should really appreciate Samsung, they use all high end materials..apart from what you mentioned, they also use Titanium body, latest Gorilla glass, S-pen, custom Elite chip with higher clock speeds and so on..I think it easily costs them atleast ~$800-900 for S25 ultra. And they also give awesome trade-in values and freebies during preorders. We should definitely appreciate Samsung for this. Apple never gives this kind of tradein values or any free items/discounts although it might cost the same or may be less for making 16 pro max.
