much bigger screen

counter argument: make it pocketable

i mean, that’s my requirements. OP didnt specify what it would be and i dont wanna put out a blanket yes or no and then be called a liar or something when it eventually comes out and doesn’t cover my requirements for a definite buy.

depends.
if it’s basically a continuation of the xperia play, but otherwise a regular modern day smartphone with passing safety net, unlockable bootloader, a 3,5mm jack, sd card slot, stereo front firing speaker, decent camera, absolutely.

a gaming phone without a latency-free (*) 3.5mm jack? ಠ_ಠ
(*) yes, there’s always sooome latency :P

no. no, it isn’t worth $500, unless they somehow managed to cram in a solution so it literally NEVER needs to be charged again. and even then, it might be a bit too much.

how is it any different from the myriad of clip-on lenses? or is it literally that, just with proper materials, like lenses made of glass instead of jello?

i’m using firefox mobile, because it’s essentially the only browser being able to run ublock

for the most part it’s just a finer, more intuitive interface to that exact function, imo. seems like mostly just marketting, for what’s been there the whole time

the movement from stereo FRONT FACING speakers to the regular smartphone setup hurts, just like the punchhole, as well as the removal of the notification led.

didn’t that feature already exist up to something like android 12 or something? i remember very viscerally that i was able to configure in the notification settings of each app how often (in minutes per notification) i wanted to receive them.
