          Does anyone drop their phone like ducks and drakes on concrete? I did it, I just purchase around 3 weeks, I drop my smartphone and it has a flat camera lens So lucky it wasn't get scratched because it is flat designs, but if it is a humps camera lens, it must get scratched.

            I don't mind the hump. But I would rather like if they had flattened it to add more battery.

              Samarth N8 808 user, 21 Aug 2017I still own a Nokia 808 Pureview. Never had guts to sell it... moreWell, these sort of phones were still sold by the millions (whether by choice or by necessity). So it probably will go on, whether or not you and I think it's a bad thing.

              (Honestly, I haven't really looked up on this whole jack matter, so I won't pretend I have a solid stance on this)

                Even on online sites, not many are willing to sell 808.
                Doesn't this talk enough about the quality & our no objection against the hump for quality?

                There are certain decisions (like 3.5mm jack removal, camera hump removal) that only the manufacturers push upon us! We didn't ask for it.

And for a drop test, I have the proof it can withstand A LOT of drops. I never use cases. The outside has a few areas where the coating wore off because of the drops. These are extremely localized, exactly where the phone was dropped, pretty often (I can be very clumsy when I'm in a hurry) usually on rocks and concrete. The screen has some scratches and marks that it felt on some hard things. I could post a photo if you really don't believe me.

                      Enlighten me a bit: how does phone choice determine intelligence?

                        In terms of design Lumia 1020 seems to be the balance between a crippled camera and a thick phone.

                              Unfortunately, the second type is dominant, which is why we have thinner devices with smaller batteries.

                                  I prefer the thickness of the nexus 6. No hump and a biggish battery
